Sum 41 is a little weird, but the rest are awesome nominations!

Really? Wow that's great news! And odd.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #3 on:** November 30, 2011, 09:27:15 PM »

Holy shit.

The Grammy's may select their winners stupidly at times, but being nominated is a HUGE feather in the cap for DT. I mean gigantic. Seriously. So proud of the guys.

I must also admit that I'd love to be a fly on the wall to see a former member's reaction to this news. Heh.

That aside though, just such tremendous news. Congratulations guys! Gonna be tough going up against Mastodon, Megadeth, Foo Fighters and...Sum 41 (lol), but still a nomination is a big, big deal. So cool.

I saw them post it on facebook and literally my reaction was just O_O.

This is awesome!

ARE YOU SHITTING ME? That is fantastic news! Not to be pessimistic, but I can't see any way they'd win for this kind of thing, but being nominated is a huge deal and hopefully will give them a bit of exposure. Congratulations DT!

Sigz · « **Reply #9 on:** November 30, 2011, 09:40:04 PM »

That's cool. I mean, the Grammys are completely meaningless from any musical standpoint, but commercially it's a pretty big deal I suppose. Cool beans.

Jamesman42 · « **Reply #10 on:** November 30, 2011, 09:41:27 PM »

You suppose? Dude, it's a pretty big deal considering what genre they come from.

DarkLord_Lalinc · « **Reply #11 on:** November 30, 2011, 09:47:39 PM »

This will gain DT some new listeners, for sure. Great.

Should've gone to Adrenaline Mob.

You win the thread, Blob.

Brilliant!

Do I really have to be the first to point out the undoubtedly intentional structural similarities between On the Backs of Angels and Sum 41's "Blood in My Eyes"?

True

This is awesome news. No matter the outcome, being nominated can only help DT. This has been a great year in DT land.

RedKlouD72 · « **Reply #22 on:** November 30, 2011, 10:19:42 PM »

oh Dear...

I lost respect for the grammy awards long ago. Sometimes they nominate good shit in genre specific categories,,, but what they consider to be the overall bests are ridiculous.

I have this strange feeling that DT's gonna win.

orcus116 · « **Reply #23 on:** November 30, 2011, 10:26:54 PM »

This is cool news, though I can't help but laugh at the overly excited people because if this was merely a hypothetical thread the typical reaction would be some variation of "lolgrammys".

I noticed this *immediately* upon my first listen and if it is a nugget then I guess its cool, but if they are desperately trying to rewrite Sum 41s past, then maybe not so much. I guess only David Prater knows....

InertSolo · « **Reply #25 on:** November 30, 2011, 10:36:08 PM »

I dunno guys, if Jeff Beck can win a grammy six times, I think DT have somewhat of a shot of actually winning this thing. Man it would be oh so sweet if they did

No way, we would never be immature like that.

Nick · « **Reply #27 on:** November 30, 2011, 11:00:38 PM »

To me the Grammys mean absolutely nothing, but I understand the commercial implications of this and hope DT end up winning, and I'm sure to them it means something so congrats to the band.

cramx3 · « **Reply #28 on:** November 30, 2011, 11:08:01 PM »

Congrats to the guys, very awesome for them!

It seems the Grammys are finally getting it right... last year Iron Maiden wins a grammy, now hopefully DT. MY two favorite bands

MykeHavoc · « **Reply #29 on:** November 30, 2011, 11:09:56 PM »

It IS the best song nominated. Congrats to the boys. Long time coming!

N4Player · « **Reply #30 on:** November 30, 2011, 11:22:39 PM »

Just saw John Petrucci's tweet on Twitter about this. So thrilled for the boys, it's about time. Hope they win but even they don't, it is great they are getting noticed. Definitely the best band to never win a Grammy. Just goes to show how pathetic these awards are. Nevertheless, we will all be rooting for them.

InfraredDream · « **Reply #31 on:** November 30, 2011, 11:23:32 PM »

This is just so awesome! Just read it in their FB. So happy!

SnakeEyes · « **Reply #32 on:** November 30, 2011, 11:49:18 PM »

This is fantastic. For DT to even be uttered in the same BREATH as the Foo Fighters in the biggest mainstream music awards show is amazing.

ReaPsTA · « **Reply #33 on:** November 30, 2011, 11:49:56 PM »

This is great news for the band.
