Dave Mustaine Talks Megadeth's Grammy and Rock Hall Snubs
. Mustaine's previous band, Metallica, were inducted in 2009. He tells Noisey: "In the beginning, the Grammy thing was really important to us. Then, we started to see that it wasn't really as easy as somebody would think, because the people that are on the board, they've gotta listen to 45 Latin records and a bunch of Hawaiian stuff and then Weird Al Yankovich kinds of records. "So when it comes time to listen to metal, they just go, 'Oh f***, I ain't listening to that, what's the name that I recognize there?' That's why they saw Jethro Tull and went, 'Okay, give Jethro Tull the metal award.' "There's been some bad ones. But I'm cool with it, if I get the Grammy or if I don't get the Grammy, I've been recognized by my peers a lot, I've been nominated almost a dozen times so at the end of that day it's like, are you satisfied with what you have? I'm content, I'm not satisfied. I'm not giving up yet. He continues: "I'm hoping that I'll be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, too. But if they don't want me in there, it's okay. I mean, I am in there vis a vis Metallica, and no matter what those guys say or what anybody believes about their induction ceremony, they wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for me being in the band, because I was there in the beginning, so I have some satisfaction."
