Linkin Park vocalist Chester Bennington feels insulted about the number of nominations the band received for this years Grammys. Chester complained to Yahoo Launch Radio Networks about the academy's lack of recognition for the band in the aftermath of the Grammy nomination announcements. Two years ago the band was nominated for three prestigious awards, including "Best New Artist" and "Best Rock Album" for "Hybrid Theory", and they went on to win under the category of "Best Hard Rock Performance" for "Crawling".
A full statement from Bennington reads:
"I personally feel that this record is better than 'Hybrid Theory'. I think there are certain songs that definitely exceed the quality of even 'Crawling'. And to not even be nominated for a track that was an album track - I mean it was an instrumental, like an interlude — personally, I'm kind of insulted. I think I'd rather be not nominated for anything than to be nominated for a track that's not even a band track. I definitely was thrown off a little bit, but who cares, really..."
