03.02.2002 : Grammy Note-from Mike
two days ago, we won an award which i was positive we weren't going to win. we are all very excited and proud of it, along with many other things. but it made me realize that we missed an opportunity to say a speech.
personally, i don't like speeches. but i think there is something i would've wanted to say. and, in my mind, our message board is one of the best places to say it:
thanks you all for supporting our band in so many amazing ways this past year. together, we've made many great things happen.
months ago, we told our record company not to spend ANY money promoting our songs or videos on mainstream stations. our idea was: if our fans want to hear a song somewhere, they'll call and request it. and you have. you have the album, you know the songs, you've come to the shows. and you enjoy the songs enough to visit our website. and you've made a huge impact on many people this year, especially us.
thank you so much for making your presence felt in the music community in the ways you have. we are whole-heartedly grateful.
the award is ours to share. enjoy your grammy for best hard rock performance.
