The Grammys just announced the first round of performers for this year's James Corden-hosted ceremony, and one name stands out from the pack. Thrash deities Metallica will take the stage, presumably delivering a more rousing display than we've come to expect from this show. Also appearing will be Grammys mascot John Legend and country stars Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban. Many more performers are sure to be named ahead of the event, which airs 2/12 on CBS. Review this year's nominees here, and recall the misery of last year's broadcast here.
