Metal / Hard Rock Portion Of Grammy’s Webcast

The Metal and Hard Rock segments of The Grammy’s never get aired on tv. Honestly I’m sure that none of you, nor me feels like sitting through all the other B.S. in the meantime to see which artist that was nominated gets the damn awards. If you want to see who wins the metal […]
