DREAM THEATER's James LaBrie Says He'd "Be Numb" If They Won A Grammy
February 11, 2012, 12 years ago
DREAM THEATER singer James LaBrie spoke with The Canadian Press about the band's Grammy nomination for the song 'On The Backs Of Angels', pulled for their latest album, 2011's A Dramatic Turn Of Events.
LaBrie feels the biggest threat to take the prize is the venerable thrash metal outfit MEGADETH.
"We're very grateful even to be in that category — but yeah, if we won? I think I'd be numb," he said."But I think at the same time too, there'd be a big part of me going: 'Yeah, right on!' This says a lot for our music and the kind of band we are. And I think it'd be a fantastic feeling and an admission to the fact that all kinds of music are being noticed and being honoured."
