That was a compliment. Well, yeah, you can't blame him for not knowing that the front man of DT (if they have one) isn't 'The Dream Theater guy'.

The point is that he names them to all of his fans, and to all of MTV, that's cool.

i think that's an MTV typo. "because they actually had a metal performance."

Dave is a cool dude, i think he's basically saying he doesnt deserve it, but DT really does

I don't care that he didn't seem to know or care who DT were, or whether or not it was a compliment (seemed to be). Having Grohl mention DT is a good thing. This is what a lot of the excitement for DT and us as fans was with the Grammys - the mainstream exposure, not just about winning.

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

I'm guessing it's a typo, and that he actually said 'the Dream Theater guys'.
Anyway, very cool for Dave to give DT a shout out like that. The man is a class act.

"The Dream Theater guy"? Which?
The guy who twitted "I hope DT wins tonight!"

I also think it shows how respected DT is in the professional circles as musicians. It sounds like he was almost surprised they beat DT for the award. Very cool.

I'll back up Dave Grohl.  He genuinely is a nice guy and I am pretty sure the "Dream Theater guy" thing is just a typo.  As others have said, within the musical community (especially the rock circles) DT would be very well respected.

David Grohl is one of the coolest guys in the business. And this completely reinforces it. If anyone, anyone, has an issue with Grohl, they need to promptly be admitted to the nearest looney-bin.

Could have meant "Dream Theater guys" and then it would sound alright. It has to be a typo.

My respect for Dave Grohl has shot up a lot, not that I didn't like him in the first place. Even before his comment, I wasn't mad that Foo Fighters won.

Had it been a band like Nickelbag or Strained, it'd be a different story.

so I just listened to the song that Foo Fighters won with...
seriously? haven't really minded what they've put out in the past but that's just -.- , not completely sure I agree with the winner but what am I going to do about it ;)

Regardless, still cool of him to make that comment.

I like how the interviewer (for the FFs) was a sarcastic jackass.  "You beat DREAM THEATER HAHAHAHAHAHA" like they had no reason to be there.  :P  But its cool for Grohl to give a shout out to DT.

I can't see the video because of my region  :censored

Anyway, I've always thought Grohl is a nice guy, and reading his statements I think I was right (although he said "the DT guy" :lol

And he actually started to say "he" in reference to DT and immediately realized his mistake and changed it to "they."
