Linkin Park Singer Whines About Lack of Grammy Noms

Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington feels
insulted that his group didnt receive more Grammy nominations.
The band was only nominated for one award this time around for the track
Session which does not include vocals and was therefore nominated in
the "Best Rock Instrumental Performance" category.
The band was nominated for three awards
last year including "Best New Artist", "Best Rock Album" for their debut
album "Hybrid Theory", and "Best Hard Rock Performance" for their single
"Crawling".
Bennington took his time to complain to
Yahoos Launch Radio Networks about the lack of nominations this year.
"I personally feel that this record is better than 'Hybrid Theory'," he
said. "I think there are certain songs that definitely exceed the quality
of even 'Crawling'. And to not even be nominated for a track that was an
album track - I mean it was an instrumental, like an interlude personally,
I'm kind of insulted. I think I'd rather be not nominated for anything
than to be nominated for a track that's not even a band track. I definitely
was thrown off a little bit, but who cares, really."
Obviously, Bennington cares.
