Certainly, my favorite artists of all time. Period. And to this day, I stand by these words, that as a group, they have only gotten better with each album. I have practically grown up to them. I was 3 when Tool graced my senses, on MTV and am now, almost 33. If anyone has deserved such an award, it's these fine spirits; legends to the music world!! Congratulations!!!

Hey coop they let them talk this time and someone recorded it. Times are a changing. Heard nine inch nails at Trader Joe’s the other day.

Love Feels Best won’t be long before cannibal corpse is played at chuckie cheese.

[@benson6158]

Trader Joe's music no longer surprises me. The one near our house is always playing good music

People don't even watch the grammy thing, the most passionate fans are the metal fans, they are missing on huge audience by ignoring them during the main event.

[@dropkickpherby6994]

It may also be because the metal community (self included) tend to get up in arms towards anyone too "mainstream" succeeding and getting that $20 million day one album makes you a "sell out" and "not as good" regardless of sound. We are passionate, but our nature is cannibalistic. It's unfortunate really.

[@Ammut6]

Metal has a huge audience. You just dont see it in the media. There's plenty of people around you who enjoy some good metal

[@jasonalmonte1239]

@Zach Martinez no, its because that's not what's popular anymore. When it comes down to it, businesses and entertainers will always try and please the majority.

[@justinhughes4119]

Its nice they've been recognized and everything but tool transcends primitive awards

[@johngrisham3784]

Yes chosen one.

[@Marco-er4ql]

Honestly I don’t know if the fans are joking or not anymore

[@johngrisham3784]

@@Marco-er4ql nope totally serious

[@satevo462]

Right. I was like "tool won a Grammy"? Meh. Who cares.

[@laurenrivera8809]

I remember one of my bestest friends of all time and still To this day won concert tickets from 107.7 The End here in Seattle back when we were kids. I’ll never forget seeing them. Truly amazing

[@chrisdriver7776]

This should have won "best rock performance" as well.

[@gadbammit4736]

But that wouldn't have upset Adam Jones.

[@kdrguru]

Greatest drummer earth has ever seen.

[@neerajthapa2982]

Well done , you guys deserves more than that .

[@metalheadblues]

Danny seems like the most normal member of the band.
