Well, congrats. However, winning a Grammy is not exactly a reason to become extra interested

Well they were nominated 4-5 times before this if i recall correctly. Kudos for getting the award this year.

Jethro Tull, best metal performance, 1991. Grammy award winner Jeff Hanneman excluded from the roundup of important artists who had passed, 2013. Never forget.

Jethro Tull won the Grammy for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance. Maybe people should start getting over that one.

I just think it's funny that they were nominated for CTS years ago and didn't win but Emperor Of Sand wins. Just shows how utter shit the Grammy's are.

How ironic that the same guys who got kicked out of the grammys due to bad behavior a couple years ago now are the winners

Written by Karlabos on 30.01.2018 at 01:41 Haven't paid close attention to this year, don't care, but did see a pic the band posted on their Facebook feed... with no Brent Hinds. he was the prime troublemaker.

For some reason I didn't listen to the new album. Is it good?

Written by Maco on 30.01.2018 at 05:54 Same here. Once More Round the Sun wasn't worth the time that I dedicated towards it. So that took out any hope I had for their latest effort.

Written by Maco on 30.01.2018 at 05:54 I'd say it's fairly good. I prefer Once More Round The Sun though. I'd probably tie it with The Hunter as their worst album, so if you didn't hate any of their previous albums it's worth checking out.
