    Roi won a grammy for crying out loud... this is unacceptable.

    Neil Portnow has no idea what music is... i'm amazed he founded jive records.

    wow, that isn't an apology. That is trying to say we already recognized him and we don't need to again. He simply restated what he said before and tried playing it off like they didn't screw up because he was in the book.


    This made it worse

    embarassing...I didn't read anything that sounded like an apology...they basically said "we had alot of people die this year that were way more important than Leroi...sorry for not being sorry"

    it's an acknowledgment of his life and accomplishments, much the same way that flashing his face is. would seeing the words "we're sorry" really meaningfully impact anyone's life? is there anyone who's really struggling because the face of his favorite dead saxophonist wasn't shown for a split second during the grammy's telecast? listen to his music, remember how much he meant to you, and how happy his work makes you, and don't worry about something so trivial as this. it's time to get over it.

    with the ridiculous strength in numbers we have as a DMB community, I feel as though we could legitimately make a difference. I seriously think we should all figure out a way to get every DMB fan, as well as their family members and whoever else wants in, to completely boycott next year's show to the point where it puts a dent into their television ratings. I know everyones planning on doing that, but what if we REALLY put some effort into this? FUCK THE GRAMMYS!

    roi was and is a man we respect and admire. honoring him in the proper fashion, like a man who worked day in and day out, and influenced music, which is what the grammy's is supposed to represent by the way, is the correct thing to do. the man happened to also win a grammy, build one of the largest and most loyal fan bases, and tour religiously. he deserves respect, and the fact that the jonas bro's are what is concerning the grammy's now is absolute garbage. that is the truth. in a way this is not only about roi, but what roi stood for... one of the last figures to make music, the right way... and as we saw, that is of no importance any more.

    What a feeble and weak attempt at "apologizing" to a fan base, band, and family.

    horrible effort. so they're sugar coating, but in the end by leaving him out of the Encore they sent us the message that he wasn't that important, reason why he did not make the cut.

    I say this with all due respect...

    I know we're all fans of this band, and of Roi, but this is being pretty dramatic, and a little too narrow minded for my tastes. Roi is not one of the last figures to make music "the right way." There are plenty of amazing musicians out there who do their own thing, are extremely talented, and work at it day in and day out. Yes, his playing touched many fans, but let's not OVER state the case.

    One of my favorite musician's won the first Grammy there was... and hardly anyone remembers him. It doesn't piss me off. It doesn't surprise me anymore. As many DMB fans as there are, not all of them can list the band members. This isn't that big of a surprise to me.

    No where, in all of my wildest dreams, could I see this as being an intentional slight against fans, the band, or Roi himself. They don't HAVE anything to apologize for. The fan base is mad. The rest of the world is not.

    Re: The Grammy Apology

    thats not an apology, thats a "calm down kids, a bunch of people died, we chose the ones we wanted to show and the others still get their names in a book"... its fucking weak. sure, i understand that not everyone can get their pictures shown, but we all know that leroi accomplished enough to be one of the few. also, even though they can't show everyone's picture, there's no reason that after the last picture is shown for the slideshow that they can't show a list of names scroll or something. if 250 people in the music community died, and the grammys are supposed to be the supremest honor in the music industry, then EVERYONE who dies should get their moment, even if it's in a list.

    What I am getting at is the fact that people are so angry and launching a full scale attack against the Grammy's, because they left out music's last stand as we know it, and did it with hurtful intentions. I could be wrong, maybe someone's laughing all the way to the news stand.

    But the news seems to be more about the reaction than the actual fact that it happened.

    Re: The Grammy Apology

    The thing that chafes me the most is the fact that Leroi won a fucking Grammy!!! Now, I didn't watch the show...I don't care for shitty award shows BUT I would bet my life savings there was at least one person in the video tribute that didn't win a Grammy and could have been cut in place of Roi. Makes sense to me...how about you?
