cd213 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2006 Avanged is up for Best New Artist in a video...that we're finally playing. I really like the 30 Seconds to Mars song, nice to see them win. I know it's said every year, but this looks like the worst VMAs ever I have to agree with 30 Seconds. I am a big fan. Have been since the firsts album came out a few years ago. MTV has to be the run by assholes who know nothing about the music industry. I don't know how Avenged can win let alone be nominated for Best New Artist. They have been around for a few years now. Just because you start playing them now doesn't make them new. Same for Rhiana, didn't she have one of the biggest hits of LAST summer? I think this is her second album, but I might be mistaken about that. Best Dane Video, let's not nominate actual dance songs, let's nominate videos with dancing in them. The last time an actual dance song won was Days Go By by Dirty Vegas. The heads at MTV don't know much about music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cd213 0 Report post Posted August 2, 2006 Wait...I like Gnarls Barkley and Chamillionaire, still...I've never heard of Panic! At the Disco or Angels and Airwaves. Are they...."screamo"? Gnarls Barkley is a good group. Their song is catchy. Panic! At the Disco is pop punk wich I really hate. I've heard a few songs from them and EVERY song sounds the same. If they never came out with another single again, I wouldn't mind, but that's just me. Angels and Airwaves is the new pop punk band fronted by Tom from Blink 182. Not impressed by them either.

FroGG_NeaL 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2006 I just randomly picked videos that I thought I had seen here and there for the most part. Others, like the RHCP one was dope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Felonies! Report post Posted August 3, 2006 Yeah, I guess, but it has like nothing to do with the song. Not as if that's a requirement for music videos or anything, I just don't see the point of the video. Furthermore, they should've dressed like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, since they essentially stole "Mary Jane's Last Dance." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FroGG_NeaL 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2006 That's propably why they didn't. And I miss when videos had some sort of relation to the song, or was just so fucked up that it didn't matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2006 I thought it was lame myself too. It seems like it's been done before and better (even though I'm not sure if it as) Nirvana's video for "In Bloom" would probably apply, even though they don't cover a ton of different eras of rock like RHCP. And yeah, I'd definitely consider the Nirvana video to be superior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
