During an appearance on the latest episode of “The Jasta Show”, the video podcast hosted by HATEBREED‘s Jamey Jasta, LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe was asked if he watched this year’s Grammy Awards. He responded: “No, bro. No… I was happy that GOJIRA won (in the ‘Best Metal Performance’ category this year). There’s the homies. I’ve been a longtime backer of them. But I don’t ever watch the Grammys.”

He continued: “The thing about the Grammys, and I’ve been told… People are always, like, ‘They don’t know anything about metal,’ and, ‘They don’t know anything about this,’ and, ‘Why did this person win?’ Most of the members of The Recording Academy, and I’ve been informed this, they don’t know much about metal… ‘Cause you have to vote for every single category. You can’t be, like, ‘I’m into metal. I’m a member of The Recording Academy. I’m gonna vote for this, because that’s my expertise.’ No. You have to vote for every single category. So half the time, a member of The Recording Academy, who is some member of the record industry, whatever, hands it to their secretary and says, ‘Fill this out.’ It’s not a jury of your fucking peers.”

Blythe added: “I’m very proud of GOJIRA that they got this, and I’m not trying to denigrate their achievements or anything, but the Grammys mean fucking nothing to me. I have five nominations.

“They don’t even send me the invite anymore because I auctioned my Grammy medallions off for charity.

“To quote Flavor Flav, who gives a fuck about a goddamn Grammy? Not me. I don’t care. I don’t care about prizes and I don’t need a cookie. If I made what I like, it’s cool.

“If that’s important to someone else, fine. But I don’t give a fuck.”
