Last night, the 54th Grammy Awards took place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Presented by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, the award show paid tribute to singer Whitney Houston (who passed away on Saturday afternoon). While this award show does not represent Heavy Music the way the Golden Gods Awards do, it is still the most important award show in the world when it comes to music. Representing Heavy Music this year were the Foo Fighters who took 2 Grammy's for "Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance" for their song "Walk" and "Best Rock Album" for 'Wasting Light'.
The Foos are no strangers to the Grammy's. Each of the band's seven albums has been nominated for Best Rock Album and three others have won: 2001's 'There Is Nothing Left to Lose,' 2004's 'One by One' and 2008's 'Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.'
Here is what Dave Grohl had to say about last night's accomplishments.
"Holy Guacamole!! Foo's just won Grammys for Best Rock Album for Wasting Light, Best Rock Song for Walk & Best Hard Rock performance for White Limo. !!! Freaking out !! thanks to all YOU guys !!!"
"Singing into a microphone, sitting playing an instrument and learning your craft is what's most important", said Grohl during his acceptance speech.
