2/14/02, 4 p.m. ET) -- U2 has once again come out on top, this time garnering the most nominations for the 2002 Orville H. Gibson Guitar Awards. The Irish band was tabbed in the category of best guitar band while the Edge made the cut for best rock guitarist and Adam Clayton for best bassist.
Other multiple nominees include the Dave Matthews Band with two (Dave Matthews--best acoustic guitarist; Stefan Lessard--best bassist) and Radiohead (Jonny Greenwood--best rock guitarist; Colin Greenwood--best bassist). Single nominees spanning the awards' 10 categories include Nickelback, Blink 182, Linkin Park, R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, Lenny Kravitz, Aerosmith's Joe Perry, John Mellencamp, Willie Nelson, David Gray, Sheryl Crow, and Nelly Furtado.
Perhaps most eyebrow-raising is the inclusion of Madonna in the category of the Les Paul Horizon Award, which honors the "most promising emerging guitarist." The pop superstar will compete for the award with pop-rock newcomers Michelle Branch, John Mayer, and Pete Yorn; bluesman Chris Thomas King; and Latin-pop solo artist Juanes.
Winners will be revealed at ceremonies at the Knitting Factory in Los Angeles on February 26. Also to be honored at that time are bluegrass banjo legend Earl Scruggs and legendary Elvis Presley sideman Scotty Moore.
2002 Orville H. Gibson Awards nominations:
BEST ROCK GUITARIST
Peter Buck (R.E.M.)
Ryan Adams
The Edge (U2)
Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead)
Mark Knopfler
Lenny Kravitz
Dave Navarro (Jane's Addiction)

Wow, it's really cool to see Peter included in one of these things. Who sponsors these awards?
And since when does Madonna play guitar?

Gibson Guitars sponsor the awards most likely. They are a company that sells guitars. So they put the award ceremony together.
I'm wondering why Madonna too. I thought this was for outstanding guitar playing only.

Oddly enough, most of those guys don't even use Gibsons. Mark Knopfler, the Radiohead guy, and Ryan Adams use Fenders, Steve Vai uses '80s shred guitars and Peter, as we know, has been a Rickenbacker man for most of R.E.M.'s career.
Madonna should get the award for best posing with a guitar.

I have a friend who loves U2. She will be pleased to say that U2 is better than rem.I think I'll kill her. F***!!!!
