Dave Grohl - Godlike Genius in NME

[kev1664]

Just like the title says? What are the chances of a performance from him, maybe headline the NME tent, just like the manics did a few years ago?

[Joe-]

Would be incredible, highly doubt it unfortunately.

[mrtourette]

Why would winning the award mean he'd play a solo gig? It isn't exactly a common thing for him to do.

[hazzamid11]

no chance id say.

[rexclark]

no chance id say.

[lharris92]

a secret set is probably the best u could hope for... no idea how likely that is though

[Vieuphoria]

What a shit winner. Was certain Primal Scream would get it this year....

[hazzamid11]

Yeah but they've already won it before in 2007

[metallimuse]

Not to say they couldnt have won it again, i also think they should have won it, especially with the screamadelica tour.

[jump]

Are you a retard?

The award is for the artists contribution to music over their career not for what they've been up to recently.How could someone win it twice?

[metallimuse]

Yes & no, they only ever give it out to people/bands with a new album/reunion tour etc. coming out.

[mrtourette]

lol two godlike genius awards, that's ridiculous.

I'm no Grohl fan but how on earth is it a shit winner? Drummer in one of the biggest bands of all time, lead singer/guitarist/lyracist in one of the most popular bands this century. Numerous sucessful side projects. One of the most respected musicians around.

I really can't se how anyone can deny him the award.

[metallimuse]

Bit over the top, and no im not a retard, no way near being a retard infact.

The fact that they won it before should be irrelivent, the fact that they are constantly contributing such a large amount to music after being around for such a long time, in my opinion is deserving a second award.

I take my apology back,you clearly are a retard.

The whole point of the award is to honour their career,how can you do that twice?

By your logic should we start inducting artists more than once into Hall of Fames if they continue to produce music?

[metallimuse]

No place for personal insults on here, we are merely discussing a subject.

If they shouldnt win it twice, then why would they have been nominated? The fact of the matter is that out of the nominees, personally I think they should have won it, as out of the nominees I believe they deserved it, regardless of whether they won it before.

This is all a matter of personal opinion, and people should be able to express that opinion without someone feeling the need to flex the muscles in their fingers and call someone a retard.
