Judas Priest – Dissident Aggressor? Is this from A Touch of Evil – Live? Anyway, it doesn’t matter, they’ve got my vote.
No doubt bloody U2 will win the album award.
Interesting that Metallica are in ‘Best Hard Rock’ while Megadeth are in ‘Best Heavy Metal’.
That sounds about right in my book, but I wonder if messers Hetfield and Ulrich will agree?
