history
Award and criticism
At the 31st awards in 1989, a separate Grammy Award was to be given for the first time in the field of metal together with hard rock . In the same year, the first award for rap took place in order to honor two popular music fields of the 1980s. The albums Blow Up Your Video by the Australian band AC / DC , Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction , … And Justice for All by Metallica and Crest of a Knave by Jethro Tull and the song Cold Metal by Iggy Pop from the album Instinct were nominated . Metallica's live appearance at the awards ceremony in February 1989 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles with the song One from the nominated album was the first time a metal band played at a Grammy Awards.
The award was given to Jethro Tull with band members Ian Anderson , Martin Barre and Dave Pegg , who won against the band Metallica , which is regarded as the favorite . The decision led to widespread criticism of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, as many fans and journalists also believe that Jethro Tull's music cannot be classified as hard rock or heavy metal. Even at the nomination, Ian Anderson, singer of the band Jethro Tull, was surprised because he did not see the band as part of metal or hard rock, but as a rock band, and on the advice of their record company Chrysalis Records, the band members did not attend the award ceremony part because victory was unlikely. When the laudators Alice Cooper and Lita Ford announced the winners, there were boos in the audience.
Anderson stated in a later interview that the award made sense on the one hand because it was not the music press who voted, but active people in the music scene (authors, musicians, sound engineers) who had been in the business for as long as Jethro Tull and who obviously felt the need to to honor the band's more than twenty year career. On the other hand, he was happy not to have been to the ceremony. He did not see how he could have accepted the award under the circumstances of the award. Regarding the difficult categorization of Jethro Tull, he pointed out that he had devoted a large part of his musical life to embedding acoustic instruments in a rock context, resulting in quite rough rock music, which is also repeated in a magazine that focuses on hard rock and heavy metal as Kerrang was discussed.
Aftermath
In response to the criticism that the band Jethro Tull received for the award, the band's record label published an advertisement in Billboard magazine with a picture of a flute (the band's musical trademark) on a pile of rebar and the line The flute is a heavy metal instrument! Metallica included a sticker on their album ... And Justice for All that said Grammy Award Losers , with the word "Losers" graffito over a crossed-out "winners".
In the following year, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences established the two categories Best Hard Rock Performance and Best Metal Performance , which have been awarded separately since the 32nd awards in 1990. The award for the best metal performance in the following three years went to Metallica for the song One from the album ... And Justice for All 1990, then to her cover version of the Queen song Stone Cold Crazy in 1991 and then for the album Metallica in 1992; by 2011 they were the most successful musicians in this category with six wins. When Metallica won the Grammy in 1992, drummer Lars Ulrich thanked Jethro Tull in his acceptance speech that they had not released a new album that year, although the album Catfish Rising was released during the nomination period. 10 years later, Ulrich said that he would have to lie if he said that he was not disappointed. In his view, Jethro Tull's victory mocked the purpose of the award.
The Grammy for best hard rock performance was won in the first two years by the band Living Color with the song Cult of Personality in 1990 and the album Time's up in 1991.
