DISTURBED Singer Says GRAMMYS Need More Rock

February 10, 2009

The Pulse of Radio reports: DISTURBED frontman David Draiman attended his first Grammy ceremony on Sunday night (February 8),where his band was nominated for "Best Hard Rock Performance." Even though Draiman told The Pulse of Radio that he was looking forward to going, it seems like his overall impression was less than enthusiastic after the show. Draiman told RollingStone.com, "I don't think they give rock its fair share by any stretch of the imagination, and the truth is that they're really neglecting a big part of the Grammy constituents. The majority of the country states that are red, they're either fans of country or fans of rock so there certainly needs to be better representation for our genre. We'll continue to fight the good fight."

DISTURBED was nominated for its song "Inside The Fire", but lost — along with ROB ZOMBIE, MÖTLEY CRÜE and JUDAS PRIEST — to eccentric progressive rockers THE MARS VOLTA.

METALLICA won the "Best Metal Performance" award for the track "My Apocalypse".

DISTURBED picks up right where it left off before the Grammys, playing on Tuesday night (February 10) in Tupelo, Mississippi.
