Okay, if Panic at the disco has the best video in all music videos for the year, how could they not have the best rock video or best new artist? If there is a better rock video that patd then patd cant be the best video of all videos. 1+ Reply

I saw the preshow with some of my friends-- EL OL EL. The definite highlight was seeing the camera pull out to Fall Out Boy with a monkey, we could not stop laughing. Then a little later My Chemical Romance played and I kinda wanted to hit someone.

the only punk band to be nominated was the RHCP.

Seriously the worst thing ever. I watched part of it. I guess the whole gimmick is that the show was supposed to be going poorly and all the fuck ups were intentional (see Jack Blacks opening) but if you came in half way through it would have just been very confusing.
Someone (September 1, 2006)
RHCP got fucking robbed by the worst pop punk band on the planet. Dani California is the best video I have ever seen.

Oh and anyone who thinks Jared Leto and 30 seconds to Mars is a real band needs to have seen this awards show. 1+ Reply

the only performance i ever enjoyed on the vmas were nirvana back in '93 when they played lithium

As much as i like Jack Black, the introduction (the only thing i watched), pretty much sucked.
puffs (September 1, 2006)
i can figure out who the bigger joke is. jared leto or panic at the citgo. i enjoyed when pete wentz talked about being jealous of the songs that panic! wrote, when he's the one who wrote all those songs. jared leto is a terrible actor, and an even worse musician, if you can even cal him that. 1+ Reply

DeputySlickshoes (September 1, 2006)
i uhh.. yeah i watched in. only because every years i think maybe music wont suck. and it started off not too shabby, the only reason i watched the amount i did was because i like lou reed, and the raconteurs. lol there's too much bling going on now. and shit pop rock. they should combine, emo rap. huh huh? how bout it. why not go all out. hahahaha. 1+ Reply

I don't think I have ever seen a worst display of commenting on one post in my entire life. Seriously, what the fuck guys. And I wasn't aware that Avenged Sevenfold was a new band. MTV is so horrible for this world, and their award shows are getting entirely worse every single year. Is it just me, because I only saw part of the award show, or does the production seem to be put together by 12 year olds with down syndrome?
