Tonight, the 54th Grammy Awards are taking place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the award show is paying tribute to singer Whitney Houston (who passed away yesterday afternoon). While this award show does not represent Heavy Music the way the Golden Gods Awards do, it is still the most important award show in the world when it comes to music. Representing Heavy Music this year were Megadeth, Dream Theater, Mastodon, Foo Fighters, and Sum 41.
The nominees in the "Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance" category were as follows:
* DREAM THEATER - "On The Backs Of Angels"
* FOO FIGHTERS - White Limo"
* MASTODON - "Curl Of The Burl"
* MEGADETH - "Public Enemy No. 1"
* SUM 41 - "Blood In My Eyes"
And the winner for "Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance" are the FOO FIGHTERS! Additionally, the FOO's won the Grammy for "Best Rock Album" for 'Wasting Light'. Thankfully, Dave Grohl was proudly wearing a SLAYER t-shirt.
Here is what he had to say about tonight's accomplishments.
"Holy Guacamole!! Foo's just won Grammys for Best Rock Album for Wasting Light, Best Rock Song for Walk & Best Hard Rock performance for White Limo. !!! Freaking out !! thanks to all YOU guys !!!"
"Singing into a microphone, sitting playing an instrument and learning your craft is what's most important", said Grohl during his acceptance speech.
