Congratulations, Dream Theater!

It's about friggin time!!!!1!

It has come to my attention via Dream Theater's Facebook page, that they have been nominated for a Grammy award for their latest amazing release, A Dramatic Turn of Events. More specifically for the masterpiece "On the Backs of Angels". (Video Source)

Apparently I'm a little late with this news, but for some reason, DT didn't announce this on their Facebook page until now. If they did, I missed it. There's an article at their website about this nomination dated Dec. 13, 2011! Ugh!

Anyway, also nominated for the Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance category along with Dream Theater are Megadeth, Foo Fighters, Mastodon, and Sum 41.

Foo Fighters have already won SIX Grammy's. This I didn't know until right now. They write some seriously great music, but wow. All the more reason to give the nod to DT this time around. I like Dave Mustaine and Megadeth, but haven't they produced about 73 albums, now?

Here are a few articles:

• Grammy Dot Com's News: Precious Metal

• Ultimate Guitar Dot Com, Via Blabbermouth

• Grammy Dot Com's Interview with DT

One final thought: This really, really sucks for Mike Portnoy! I love the guy and all his work, but this has to seem like an unnecessary kick to the face while he's already down. Geeez! They should seriously invite him, too, to the ceremony..

Absolutely

And then.. since you lose them before you finish them, eventually you'll buy another one, and then lo & behold, the old ones will start to turn up. I think I have 3 going because of this phenomenon.
