Leave it to Lemmy Kilmister to diss the Grammys after his legendary metal band Motorhead won the gold. "We didn't get to go to the real Grammys 'cause we're distasteful: Us and the Mexican jazz bands all had to line up and get our stuff the previous afternoon," he joked. He also seemed less than thrilled that the band's first Grammy award in 2005, a full 30 years after they first formed, was for a cover of Metallica's 'Whiplash' off a tribute album. "Of course, they poisoned it for us by giving us one for somebody else's song."
