00:00Well, the 67th annual Grammy Awards are this Sunday and some of the most popular names in music are up for several awards

00:06Yeah, it's said to be a showdown on music's biggest night

00:15Well Beyonce leads the way with 11 nominations, but she's never won album of the year

00:20Can you believe that it could be tough this year though with competition from Sabrina Carpenter?

00:24Charlie XCX Billy Eilish and Chapel Rowan just to name a few

00:28So read it joining us right now is Aaron Axel son and on-air personality from live 105. Hey, good morning

00:34Okay, how are you? Thanks for hanging out with us. And are you gearing up for the award show?

00:38Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited that we have a

00:41Couple of Bay Area artists in the mix Metallica and Green Day. So that's all that's great and

00:47Aaron, you know, we love radio people John and I both started off in radio. So you were among friends here

00:54What do you think Beyonce has never won this but this award and do you think she's got the wind at her back this time?

01:00Um, I think so. I mean she's she's just had a phenomenal year and so

01:06Multifaceted with the country album and pop and she can just do it all so I think that's a good chance for her

01:11But think about in the history of the Grammys. There's a lot of iconic artists that have never won

01:16I mean think about Bob Marley

01:18kiss

01:20the Ramones

01:21Journey Beach Boys, so you never know how it's gonna kind of pan out. But um, I think she has a good chance this year

01:28That's actually a very good point. You're right

01:29There are some pretty big artists who have never walked away with one of those coveted trophies

01:33So let's talk about some of our Bay Area peeps that are gonna be there. We've got Metallica up for a few awards

01:38We've got Green Day as well. How are their chances looking?

01:41um, I think they but I mean Metallica are just Titans of their category and Titans of

01:48Of

01:49Heavy metal and they're such massive icons in their world and they constantly reinvent themselves. I think they have a really good chance

01:56And Green Day up for what three nominations, I think and it's just incredible to see what they've done from humble beginnings at Pinole

02:04Valley at Pinole High School and in East Bay and I used to go see Green Day play at a punk club called Gilman Street

02:11In Berkeley when I was a young East Bay punk rockers

02:14It's been really exciting to see them transcend and 14 albums out now and they have 13 number one songs at

02:22Alternative radio, which is just incredible to see

02:25What they've done and their storied history as well. And there's it's great. There's still a Bay Area band. They've never left

02:32They're still in the East Bay, which I just love that about them

02:35They're homegrown and determined to stay that way

02:37You know, we saw them in that benefit concert helping the people who are ravaged by LA wildfires

02:41it's also really important I think to mention that they

02:44There's going to be some tributes and performances planned to help raise money for those wildfire victims. It was pretty incredible last night

02:50They performed in LA and Billie Eilish joined them on stage and did a Green Day song last last night on earth

02:57It was some goosebumps pretty pretty special to see that it is. It's been so good to see so many people come together Aaron
