OK, we know that you know that the Best Metal Performance Grammy was won by Tenacious D. At this point, we’re not that surprised. And while Mastodon join Anthrax, Megadeth and Shadows Fall as bands that have been nominated more than once and never won, at least they had some fun with it. The red carpet was livestreamed on Grammy.com, and Mastodon’s Brent Hinds and Brann Dailor had a lot of fun with the hosts. When you’re dressed as an LA Dodger (as Hinds was) or in a garish suit with balloons on it (as Dailor was), of course you’re going to get asked weird questions. Was Mastodon going to win? Given that CBS didn’t even spell their name right on the clip, the answer was probably not.
