They "Weren't performing" at Apple too...
Originally posted by ahn1991:I mean, shows like this generally have surprises. I don't know enough about this particular show to know if surprises are a precedent. I do have to agree with you in that you're going to give U2 the most prestigious award your show's got and you aren't going to give them a slot to play a tune or two? Maybe Bono doesn't play guitar anymore, but I hear Edge and Adam are still pretty good.

It would be interesting if Muse won, but I don't know enough about the other groups listed.
