JP doesn't look as intimidating as usual and JM is in all black (no surprise there). MM looks pretty awesome as well.

hadn't seen that ...
hahahahahahahahahhaa

Interviewer: "Is there anyone you would like to see performing tonight?"
Turns to JP: *shakes head*
Turns to the rest of the band: *awkward silence*
JLB comes in and rescues the day with "err....Coldplay!"
*MM visibly laughing in the background*


ahahaha such a funny video - looked quite awkward throughout but still, regardless, hopefully they're having a good time despite not picking it up.

Totally bummed :'(  Was really hoping for the 'upset'! At least they lost to the Foo Fighters. Had they given it to any of those other bands and not DT I'd be ticked!

It was funny to see JP out of his element and actually seem a little awkward in that interview. Just normal folks enjoying the moment.

It's the grammys whom else does the obvious. You've got the one who is definite not winner, 3 I could see it, then the winner who is the most popular one.

But I am glad they went, I would also have went to actually witness it, backstage non the less.

What a great video. Definitely a fish out of water.

Would have been nice to see DT win, but it is not the least bit surprising that Foo Fighters won, so I'm fine with that. Here's to next album getting another nomination!

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

This indeed.  I think it's awesome they were able to fly in to the Grammy's, as nominees, during a tour in another continent, for their first appearance at the Grammy's.  Definitely cool.

It's not that I don't like the Foo Fighters or that I think they don't deserve their success or anything, but we all know that they won on the sole fact that they are the Foo Fighters. Not because their song was the best or whatever. They only won because they are the Foo Fighters. In my opinion, Dream Theater was robbed... I was expecting the Foo Fighters to win, but DT still got robbed.

It was a lonely, frosty cold vigil outside Staples Center this evening.  I stood at the front of the police baricade with my DT sign unfurled in all its glory. Below a hand drawn DT logo, the sign read:

"The Faithful Live Awake.  Congratulations on your 2011 Grammy Nomination!"

The crowd gathered behind me. I was in perfect position to witness all the Grammy guests as they funneled from the ceremony to the afterparty at Nokia next door.  Thousands of gowns and tuxedos.  A three and 1/2 hour vigil, but alas, no sightings of the Cap, Bear, Wiz, Ninja or Genie.

Oddly enough, a Japanese TV crew apporached me to ask me on air what I thought of the Whitney Houston death.   I declined to comment.

I am very proud of the guys. But i have to disagree with them  ;). It's actually not an honor for them to be there, it's an honor for the Grammys to have them there, taking into account that they were in the middle of a tour in a different continent and that they are by far the best musicians at the ceremony.

It's been a lot of years delivering wonderful music to their fans, not falling into trying to get commercial success just by the sake of money. I hope they get another nomination with their next album, not that I care if they get the nomination or even the award but they surely deserve more media exposure. There are still a lot of potential fans that don't even know they exist.

That interviewer had no idea who they were and she probably looked at Myung and thought "Ooh, Asian guy.  He might not speak English."

Was a pretty awkward interview and most of it wasn't the DT boys fault.  JR looks pretty comfortable in front of the cameras, although looking like a pimp like he did would make anyone comfortable.

Exactly...even better, because they all (except for Myung, the ninja) turned out to be such eloquent interviewees... very good job by the guys.

"We got it!" Grohl said. "I feel so bad for the Dream Theater guy, because they actually had a metal performance, we didn't, but it's awesome. That's kind of the coolest song we've ever written," he said of the edgy "White Limo."
