Dream Theater Nominated for a Grammy in "Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Performance"

Recently, Dream Theater posted on their facebook page and website that they will be nominated for a grammy in "Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Performance" for their song "On the Backs of Angels" off thier new album "A Dramatic Turn of Events." After a year of twists and turns including losing their drummer Mike Portnoy who was a major founding member, Dream Theater has met nothing but success. Their recent US tour had many sold out shows and in my opinion was the best concert I have attended in my life. Dream Theater still has the soul and with the new drummmer Mike Mangini, could possibly acheieve greater levels. Congrats on your nomination Dream Theater and hopefully you will take home a win.

Quote from Dream Theater's Facebook: "2011 has been quite an amazing year for us. We watched 'A DRAMATIC TURN OF EVENTS'—our eleventh studio album—enter the Top Ten in 14 countries around the world including the U.S. And now we land our first-ever Grammy nomination [for the song "On The Backs of Angels" in the Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance category]. It’s the icing on the cake--we’re honored and thrilled, no doubt about it. It... took us a while to receive this Grammy attention--and we’ve done it on our own terms musically, so it feels particularly sweet. What keeps you going as a musician is the love and support from the fans--they are always there for us on this crazy adventure. So we give them a big shout-out as we celebrate our Grammy nomination. See you all on the road…and let's all keep dreaming big.”
