Three years ago, 8 of February of 2004, Metallica seventh Grammy gained his. Altogether Metallica adds 7 of these awards and has written in gold letters its name in the history of these prizes, which do not have been excentos of controversy. The history of Metallica and the Grammy began with a sweet and bitter episode. After years in underground metalero, the band began to be outlined like the new kings of the Heavy Rock. In order to crown this, the band received in 1989 a nomination to the Grammy, in the rising category “Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance”, by its disc”… And for Justice All ". All bet their cards to that Metallica would take the award. Everything was joy for the band, since they even had invited to world-wide touch in the official ceremony of 31ª version of the contest, televised. But, after an overwhelming debut televisvo, in which they interpreted one fit, sharpened and cuts version of “One”, the Academy of North American Music lived one on the most shameful moments in its history, after the fraud of Mini Vanilli. That 22 of February of 1989, everybody was surprised at the time of giving gramófono of gold of the category “Hard Rock/Metal Performance”. AC/DC with “Blow Up Your Video”, Pop Iggy with “Cold Metal”, Jane's Addiction with their “Nothing's Shocking”, Metallica with”… And Justice For All " and Jetrho Tull with the disc “Crest of to Knave” were the candidates. It was not necessary to be very wise to realize that the election was obvious. Nevertheless, the “experts” of the Academy, rather granted the prize to Jethro Tull, band related to a more symphonic and sicodélico sound of the '60 and '70, that to the hard sound of the Hard Rok and the Metal… The result: booings were listened to, the presenters of the prize did not hide their surprise and they were mofaron live at the time of announcing the winner. But the main change was that the following year the category was divided in two: “Best Metal Performance” and “Best Hard Rock Performance”. Exactly, the following year justice was made, since the 21 of February of 1990, Metallica received its first one and deserved Grammy by the subject “One”. That year, Metallica overcame the other competitors of the category who were Dokken, Faith Does not dwell, Queensryche and Soundgarden. Nevertheless, to the people of the Grammy it seemed that it continued weighing does not give to him of the prize of year '89, since for 33º Prizes of the 20 of February of 1991, Metallica took to the statuette like “Best Metal again Performance” of “Stone Cold Crazy”, defeating to other candidates of weight like Anthrax, Judas Priest, Megadeth and Suicidal Tendencies, with Rob Trujillo like member at that time. The 25 of February of year '92 Metallica took his third consecutive Grammy. Again in the category “Best Metal Performance”, the group raised itself with the prize, thanks to the “Black Album”, that won by on the new postulations of Anthrax, legendary Soundgarden, Megadeth and the Motorhead, that debierpon to hope for another year by its opportunity. At the time of receiving the prize, Lars Ulrich indicated to his classic phrase “Thanks to Jethro Tull not to remove to an east album year…” That year, in addition, the band touched for the second time live during the ceremony of the prizes with a noisy version of “Enter Sandman”. The subject, in addition postulated like “Best Rock Song” - question which already very few remember, next to “Been Caught Stealing” of Jane's Addiction, “Can't Stop This Thing We Started” of Bryan Adams, “Learning To Fly” of Tom Petty & Jeff Lynne, “Silent Lucidity” of Queensryche and “The Soul Cages”, of Sting, who finally took that prize. Year 1996, Metallica postulated to a Grammy like “Best Metal again Performance”. In that occasion, the group was candidate thanks to its performance of “For Whom The Bell live Tolls” in the disc of “Woodstock '94”. Nevertheless, the Nine hand of Inch Nails and its subject “Happiness In Slavery” lost of. 41ª version of the Grammy of year '99 brought 2 nominations for Metallica, but they only won in one. The band took to its fourth Grammy 24 of February of that year, thanks to “Better Than You” (of the disc “Reload”), subject chosen in the category “Best Metal Performance”, in which in addition they competed Judas Priest, Nashville Pussy, Rage Against The Machine ylos German of Rammstein. However, Metallica did not suffer a same fate in the category “Best Hard Rock Performance”, where the subject “Fuel” lost of the hand of Jimmy Page & Robert Plant with “Most High”. But new revancha would arrive the following year (23 of February of 2000) when Metallica gained like “Best Hard Rock Performance”, thanks when cover of “Whiskey in the Jar”, that prevailed by on Stakes out In Chains, Buckcherry, Kid Rock, Korn and Limp Bizkit. But he was not everything, since in the category “Best Metal Performance” Metallica also it made the news, but of indirect form, to the name being Motörhead with his cover of “Enter Sandman” of Metallica. Nevertheless, the Grammy in that category, took Black to it Sabbath deservedly. The following year, Metallica would take a new consecutive Grammy, but in a different category. “The Call Of Ktullu” of disc “S&M” made win to Metallica, Michael Kamen and the Symphony orchestra of San Francisco the prize like “Best Instrumental Rock Performance”, the 21 of febreo 2001, just 11 years after Metallica appeared for the first time live in this contest. After forced receso obligatory of Metallica, after the game of Jason Newsted and the internment of James, there was one prolonged drought of nominations and prizes, that would have their aim does three years just. 8 of February of 2004, Metallica demonstrated to be master and to gentleman of the category “Best again Metal Performance”, when winning his seventh Grammy, thanks to “St. Anger”. In that opportunity, the band happened over the intentions of Korn, Marilyn Manson, Spineshank and Stone Sour to take the trophy. Finally, the count of Metallica in the Grammy finalizes year 2005, occasion which they postulated in the category “Best Hard Rock Performance”, thanks to “Some Kind Of Monster”. Nevertheless, they lost again in this category of hands of Velvet Revolver.
