I'd totally buy an audiobook read by Troy Sanders.

[@fabioriato]

I want Troy to narrate my life

[@adamdam]

Just listen to Leviathan

[@LoudwireMusic]

#HandshakeFromHell returns!

[@thijspubanz549]

Loudwire everybody got the same problem, but you just won first price

[@rowshow1115]

Loudwire yeah that really was awkward

[@Max_Pez]

Emperor of Sand is without a doubt one of my favorite albums of all time. It will never get old

[@einbertalstein9611]

Totally agree!

[@dmitrikhutko7729]

Album that got me into Mastodon, became an instant fan 🤟

[@rhaibi12]

These guys are in a league of their own. I know some people don't like their musical change but I love it. Emperor of Sand and Cold Dark Place were both phenomenal.

[@nobodyinterestingyou]

Agreed I think It's huge a statement to their creativity.Hate It or love It,When you listened to Mastodo,n you don't exactly know what you're getting and I love that from them.

[@hackzein4138]

they are my favorite band and their transformation has been beautiful to watch

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

Troy is a class act.

[@chrisbose]

I love the awkward handshake bit continuing from the couple years earlier interview with Troy and Bill! yay! consistent hilarity!

[@hyst6081]

100% deserved! Mastodon is one of the best modern metal bands!

[@isaacpunch9295]

What an awesome guy Troy is. Mastodon is such a great band, congrats to them👏🏼🤘🏼

[@luliby2309]

Oh my god...the Grammys got it right for once!

[@SirSquash]

Love all things mastodon. They write story albums with deep motifs that are unmatched by other modern artists.

[@captainspaulding2693]

SirSquash tooooooooooooool. Tool, Tool? Hey look! TOOL.

[@daveuffels4621]

you sound like you watch rick and morty

[@jscottvillanueva1172]

I liked all of the nominees for the metal category, but Sultans Curse was my favorite!

[@Vyngraven]

These guys are like 2 peas in a pod. You guys could easily pass off as brothers. Congrats to Mastodon.

[@Theflowergeekcrafts]

Troy is a precious human. Love him. 💚

[@gudalpesanz]

Troy Sanders is so beautiful, so cool and hilarious as hell. "Cancer yeah!"

[@airey773]

that handshake made my day. hahaha

[@gravemike44]

They should've also gotten the best rock album award

A shout out to Graham. The questions are so interesting. 10/10

[@Musmack199]

One of the most down to earth artists you'll hear or see nowadays. Can't express how joyous I feel listening to these guys' auditive art and meaningful lyrics that can get you through a rough day and put a smile in your face and make you feel like there's still more to get out of life and not give up! Thank you Mastodons!

[@frankunodostres473]

so happy they won! would've liked to see nothing more win the other one but you can't have everything i guess... mastodon deserved it 100%. saw them 2 months ago and they were awesome!

[@skijumpnose]

Congrats to him and Mastodon,Emperor Of Sand is probably their second best album after Leviathan

[@medina1camilo]

third, after leviathan and Crack the Skye

[@FlaffPaff]

They've made atleast 4 better albums than Emperor of Sand.

[@hyst6081]

skijumpnose 1. Crack The Skye 2. Leviathan 3. Emperor of Sand 4. Blood Mountain 5. Once More ‘Round The Sun 6. Remission 7. The Hunter :)

[@FlaffPaff]

Blood Mountain worse than Emperor of Sand? What have you been smoking? Also Remission is far from their second worst record.

[@victorruiz9044]

Crack the Skye, Blood Mountain.. After that whatever you want

[@IchigoXKurosaki1992]

Troy is so down to earth... I want him as a father

[@alx303alx]

18 years...insane how time flies by. Blood & Thunder was the first tune I heard by Mastodon when the video came out. I was hooked right then & never stoped listening to Mastodon since then. Their evolution is just so great to be part of as a fan.

[@JoshFryer]

Dude, I love Troy. Such a down to earth dude.

[@matheusm7572]

Lost a loved one to cancer just 3 months before Emperor of Sand was released and since then that album felt like therapy to me. Glad they got this grammy. Long Live Mastodon!

[@knightwingbk]

I love the handshake gag. Love it

[@lemmyjoker3678]

Great interview and strike anywhere sweater

[@ghoulbeansz]

"The fashion police were givin' me flack"

[@legomypancakes]

So proud

[@MrJosedaluz]

Congrats your guys work hard and keep it honest, true to yourselves, and that is important.

[@MJDhaou]

I love this man

[@MrBlackskye]

Congrats on the award and for nailing the last handshake.

[@mamallama7708]

Mastadon! Yes...

[@mratomsfitzgerald8523]

Going to see these fella’s open up for Primus in May.. A little stoked..

[@thrashtildeth247]

The handshake went full circle!

[@vengeance_falls_9610]

I love Mastodon!!!

[@noogie3784]

Congrats!

[@terminator_clone9490]

mastadon deserve it and it's really admiring.

[@bharath0804]

So happy fr mastodon.......urs truly slayer fan

[@cosmicsea89]

Fav member

[@ghostvalley6786]

Good for them! Well deserved.

[@andrewmilam4531]

Great albums!

[@bruffyb3796]

Congrats Mastodon, should have won that Grammy many years ago.

[@NyeGuy-yv2dv]

This kid is the best interviewer out there. Warm and empathetic. I dig it.

[@Robert048]

Kid? It gets so hard to differentiate between what is a kid and isn't, anymore, simply by looks. I'd assume he's probably not a kid, being as he's their main interviewer, and quite knowledgeable. Not to say that a kid can't be either, and sorry to generalize. Care to explain? I'm genuinely curious. It's been something that's been egging on me since my 20's, as I too look quite young for my age.

[@LeoMessiGoat1986]

One hell of a frontman!

[@voag1344]

gotta love mastodon!!

[@sidwho123]

Big fan of that guitar in the background

[@MarkArandjus]

This is like the fourth video with their handshake gag :D

[@seanthebaptist6757]

*CONGRATS MASTODON*

[@MrBandini27]

Strike Anywhere Hoodie. Can't go wrong with that!

[@rollingrock5143]

FOCUS

[@cheapgreaser]

Troy so laid back

[@DHROMAR]

Grats on the handshake Graham!

[@stepitupandgo67]

Troy rules

[@cristianbellino8828]

i´m here for the handshake thingy

[@fargieindra86]

Hey! I have that Meshuggah latex mask too! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@frankunodostres473]

do they live nearby? ^^ i mean how do you get interviews with them so fast and so often?

[@EricJh21690]

frank unodostres Award ceremony was in NY where I believe loudwire is located, so they must have scheduled a quick interview for the day after or something.. And I'm guessing they just try to get at least 1 or 2 of the guys (usually not Brent lol) in whenever they are in the area while touring if possible haha.

[@stepitupandgo67]

FUCK YEAH

[@Rob-bp8fx]

gandalf has spoken!

[@harleyquinn6692]

🤘🏻

[@cryptobrahmin]

Troy has a tough tightrope. Smart sensitive metal grammy wife band

[@evanobrien8662]

this guy is a really good interviewer. im so tired of cringy interviewers.

[@scrublordmcshitt2296]

0:10 holy shit did that statue just laugh?!?

[@kartikpillai4789]

Really happy for Mastodon for their win, but also sad how the Grammys didn't even telecast the rock awards...

[@didierivan2855]

Best album the hunter imo.

[@jbasti227]

And the awkward shake lives on!

[@PabloAfroSamurai]

DOES TROY LIVE THERE OR WHAT?

[@eighteen-naked-cowboys]

this interviewer is actually getting a little better gg

[@erencansenocak5898]

koçum troy

[@milesbass8979]

At 0:17, dat handshake tho

[@independentjames1]

I’m a Mastodon fan. Saying that I think all rock and metal bands should back each other and turn their backs on tha Grammys and NOT show up there.

[@jakeybball]

Huge Mastodon fan here. But how were neither Pallbearer or Elder on the list for best song? Thorns by Pallbearer or Sanctuary by Elder shoulda been on the list

[@Solids2k]

I'm sure the members of Code Orange would have expressed a similar appreciation and humility had they ended up winning the Grammy. Sike.

[@MultiMiasma]

fuck the grammys but this band deserves all the prices in the world

[@doughboysxe]

The Damned en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Damned_(band)

[@1jiveturkey1]

Where is the hot tub?

[@deathmetaldouglas69]

Where's Brent?

[@GyroLamb]

Why is he going grey so early?

[@Michael_Michaels]

I didn't know Ryan Gosling had a band and grow long hair!

[@pag3309]

Well deserved grammy.....usually That's not always the case

[@Kruegerisgod]

That beard though

[@MrShadowofthewind]

I love the guys, i respect their abilities, i dig the bands style, but apart from a few songs i just can't get into their music, it doesn't grab me unfortunetely.

[@ampswithfans]

I feel for Bill because my father just had brain surgery to try to remove the cancer. He's not the same...

[@Rastasskate2]

Grammy's suck when it comes to hip hop and metal. Treated Megadeth like shit last year.

[@shordyland]

That’s because megadeth sucks

[@seang4384]

Hashbrownsthriftshirts... I mean #Thriftshirts!

[@HASHHASSIN]

slept on left side?

[@jacobledbetter7052]

He's pretty much a metal Ryan Reynolds lol

[@justinrkibbe]

Mastodon has paid their dues for sure but I don’t get this at all. Guess I’m the only one who thinks this was a strange choice.

[@SnowTheJamMan]

You mean it's FUCKING nuts... right

[@OttoNomicus]

So now I know that somebody in Mastodon is named Troy Sanders. Don't know what he does in the band but I know he's Troy and he apparently fell asleep for 20 years. Gotta watch those Xannies, Troy. Next video with a Mastodon guy, make sure that when he introduces himself he states his role in the band, like Troy Sanders, human stage mop for Mastodon. They have a small elephant as a mascot, pees a lot.

[@bastardseaman188]

Billythecookie a cookie? jk..thats cool

[@billythecookie9069]

Bastard Seaman but ofcourse

[@richardherzog5405]

Grammys are worse than the RRHF. The awards wasn't even live .

[@clownlivesmatter7925]

How does their worst album win a Grammy

[@richardherzog5405]

Grammys rating was down 50% and they are irrelevant

[@nada-ui3fe]

avenged sevenfold the stage very more win

[@raymartinez5389]

Stoopid how hollywood gives one good band an award and the rest of the awards are dedicated to trash music. At least they got something and more ppl will know bout em

[@Slaughterhauzen]

I keep having this terrible feeling that Brent is going to quit the band at some point, but thankfully it hasn't happened

[@rubyredz5663]

Been a fan since laviathen but their new album sucks

[@TheArtArq]

the bad thing about the Grammy they give it to awful "artist" as well to great musicians.

[@GamerSkinny]

Grammys should only matter to artists who can't write their own music

[@FlyingV555]

Grammys sucked. Too much virtue signaling.
