Zappa Plays Zappa gana un Grammy

Zappa Plays Zappa ha ganado el Grammy a la mejor actuación de Rock Instrumental com el tema “Peaches En Regalia,” en la que tocaban los músicos Steve Vai y Napoleon Murphy Brock. Felicidades a Steve Vai por este galardón.

No puedo evitar mencionar otros premios que me han llamado especialmente la atención:

• Mejor actuación en grupo o duo con vocales: Coldplay, “Viva la Vida”
• Mejor álbum de Rock: Coldplay, Viva la Vida
• Canción del año: Coldplay, “Viva la Vida”

Realmente curioso que un grupo que está en pleno juicio por plagio gane nada más y nada menos que tres Grammys, uno por mejor canción del año, ¡¡¡increible!!!, siendo que es la canción que está incriminada en el juicio. (Enhorabuena Satch, has ganado un Grammy), otro por mejor álbum de Rock… ehh, mmm, ¿¿¿Rock??? :lol: y otro por mejor actuación de nuevo del tema plagiado a Satriani.

Metallica con “My Apocalypse” ha ganado un Grammy a mejor actuación de Metal.
