Congratulations Black Sabbath!

Congratulations go out to the members of Black Sabbath. The band won the Grammy for best metal performance for the song "God Is Dead?" The award was handed out during the pre-telecast of the 56th annual Grammy awards in Los Angeles. In at least this instance, I feel like the Grammy voters got this one right.

We can't forget Led Zeppelin, either. They won the Grammy for best rock album for Celebration Day.

Hey, the Grammys finally get a metal category right! Shocking.

[Metalboy!]

It is well deserved and a Great Moment in Metal History!

p.s. Speaking of having a Metal Moment, or rather a "Senior Metal Moment" I wrong but when Black Sabbath were up on stage, did Ozzy forget Ringo's name. Now, I get Ozzy's fried and old and all but how could he forget the name of one of the two remaining members of The Beatles, a band who he says is his favorite! After all, he is one of the top collectors, if not THE top collector of Beatles Memorabilia in the World. How could this happen?! Geezer Butler, the band's bassist, in total hysterics over Ozzy's "brain freeze", stepped in to introduce Ringo just in the nick of time.

Good for Sabbath and good for metal. I'm glad they got this one right. But it still irks me that Imagine Dragons beat Zeppelin in one of the rock categories.

He did, Metalboy! And I think you answered your own question. Ozzy is, without a doubt, the George Burns of Metal, a classic case of nature overcoming nurture (or many occasional lacks thereof).
