The Brits: The winners and the losers

The Foo Fighters were celebrating yesterday evening when they picked-up two awards at the Brit Awards ceremony which took place at London's Earls Court last night.

Dave Grohl and co picked up the gong for Best International Album for their latest long player, Echoes Silence Patience And Grace.

"Thanks very much for award," said Grohl via video link. "It really is an honour to be recognised alongside the likes of Huey Lewis And The News, Culture Club, MC Hammer and Kula Shaker. These are all people who have won Brit Awards. I'm glad to see we've graduated to such lofty ranks. Sorry we couldn't be there, but we've just sold out [New York arena] Madison Square Garden."

The Foos also picked up the Best International Group award too. Brit rockers Muse lost out to reformed boy band Take That in the Best Live Act category.

The Brit Awards were hosted by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne with help from their children Jack and Kelly.

Brits....yawn

Who gives a damn if its a Brit, a Grammy...whatever. Awards don't mean THAT much, do they? For every fan there will always be someone else convinced that someone else should have won. Awards are pretty much pointless, an excuse to lavish praise on whoever is "in" at the time. Yawn.

hello?

as it so happens there are many people who complain abut not being accepted simply because of the music that they listen to. i think we should all be grateful that a rock band is now shown in the world of 'other' music.
so get over the fact that k! has put in that foo fighters won some awards. have you even considered that perhaps they put that fact in for fans of the foo fighters as opposed to just writng about the brits?

I can't believe Muse lost to Take That!
All Take That do is ponce around on stage with freakin' choreographed dance moves and lip syncing...

Muse are a PROPER live act... they're amazing in concert :D

RANDOM NOTE ABOUT CULTURE CLUB

Dave Grohl mentioned the band, Culture Club. I absolutely LUV the CULTURE CLUB. I have to admit, I first thought that the lead singer of Culture Club was in fact, Robert Smith but then found out he wasn't.

BRIT AWARDS????

Anyway, seeing one of Prog's greatest band, MUSE actually loose to TAKE THAT is just ???.

I'm not Brittish myself and so I've never heard of The Brit Awards until now. But looking at most of the nominees in the Brit Awards, I have to admit it wasn't really a great list of nominees. LIKE WHERE WAS GALLOWS AND BIFFY CLYRO, ETC...

MOAN...

The irony of that statmentment is that if you go on his myspace you list bands such as panic, aiden + JEW,and seeing as JEW started emo, i think you fail.

What's the point?

Seriously, why are loads of people moaning. Don't read it if you don't care about the Brits...seriously, how stupid are you?!

The Foos have done well to get that, so good for them! Just because it's not a "metal" award ceremony doesn't mean it's crap and they don't deserve it!!!

blah!

Ok....its gone from brit awards to dissing emo kids. Theres emo music, thn emo wannabes then kids that like the style. DOES IT MATTER?? ppl have the right to dress how they like.
You should be focusing your hate on the ppl who beat up grannies and steal and vandalise everything that stays still long enough. the ppl that make fun of the rock and metal cult! SO STOP HATING EACH OTHER!
and iw watched brit awards and was pretty dissapointed with the nominees, muse should have one! but well done foo fighters. :]

is the voice of reason.. you could stop the war in iraq

plus this group is about the foo's winning (which is awesome) time n a place!

to be fair tho I knock about with every walk of life townies, metallers, a few emos etc n theyre all cool in my book! n just a note to everyone, i hate dance music but went to global gathering n everyone got on as one, was the best atmosphere ever, never saw any trouble.. on the other hand at leeds n download.. hmmmmm

totally agree with bobbie.
every single topic that appears somehow sways towards the hate of emos. seriously if u hate emos fair enough everybody hates something but theres no point coming into a discussion about the brit awards and moaning about emos. come on grow up

p.s can they just make a 'i hate emo' section on this to keep all the moaning children happy. would make everybody who likes to talk about the subject in hand happy :)

Brits! Get bent, most of you are!

Brit awards = bullshit, real bands dont count. I like the foo's but they aren't the best. Beatles or Stones? I leave it at that!
