@@muhtasimshahriyar8351 Listen, I also hold that their modern work doesn’t hold a candle to the Portnoy era, but you can take your negativity and dump it somewhere else. Dream Theater has always been made up of some of the most technically impressive musicians in the history of our world, and it’s about damn time they’re recognized for it. They were nominated for and won “Best Metal Performance,” not “Least Boring Song.” Even if you didn’t like it, it’s impressive as all hell.

I think Gojira came out with the better album last year. When you first heard the singles, it was like "WOW". They nailed it. Dream Theater also made a good album, but they are probably more palatable in the Grammys universe. Not saying they are sellouts - they spent the first 10 years fighting record companies and eventually got enough momentum to tell the record companies to stop telling them what music to make. Dream Theater were a prog metal band that started just as the of the Grunge movement took off. The arena rock formula with a big "look at me" guitar solos was dying off. They succeeded because they were good.

Cream rises to the top. DT have produced an incredible body of work and have always had a unique sound. They battled the press and the record companies and remained loyal to their musical principles. The reason the audience is so quiet is because DT is above their paygrade and requires musical intelligence unlike the usual sonic pulp they understand that consists of 3 chords and 17 songwriters. I have followed DT since the very early days and it is satisfying watching them form into a legend. Well deserved and a long time coming.

THE BEST GUITAR PLAYER OF ALL TIME. had the honor to be part of your show last night in Edmonton. the performance was just amazing. It was my first time to watch you guys and it's been a dream since 2004 when I was in high school in my original country Morocco. last night the DREAM came TRUE. THANK YOU DREAM THEATER

It was a great year for metal, hard to argue with the quality of music from Gojira and Mastodon especially this go round but DT has been deserving of this nod for YEARS and The Alien is the band in absolute top form. I'm so happy for the band, a true set of world leading musicians that deserve to be known as such on a mainstream level. Very well spoken, too, John, you make a great spokesperson for the band!

It is about time they got a Grammy!! The Alien is a pretty awesome song, and you have to be a world class musician to play it whether it’s the guitar, bass, keyboard, or drums. Finally a band that has practiced a lot, and I really mean A LOT, wins a Grammy!! Them not getting recognized for their music would be the equivalent of Beethoven’s music being ignored in the classical world. So happy for my favorite band!! I love you guys!! 👍😁😎.

The "Normal" world of music today just absolutely blows - JP you are too kind to grace them with your presence.
