Foo Fighters Grammys 2012: Group Wins Best Rock Song, Hard Rock/Metal Performance and Long-Form Music Video

The Foo Fighters are cleaning up at the Grammys. In the pre-telecast ceremony, Dave Grohl and company walked away with four statues: Best Rock Album for 'Wasting Light,' Best Rock Song for 'Walk,' Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance for 'White Limo' and Best Long Form Music Video for 'Back and Forth.'

The Foos are no strangers to the awards show. Each of the band's seven albums has been nominated for Best Rock Album and three others have won: 2001's 'There Is Nothing Left to Lose,' 2004's 'One by One' and 2008's 'Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.'

The band is set to perform tonight as part of a special EDM celebration that will take place outside of the Staples Center. We're not exactly sure what's going to happen, but we assume that the Foos will do something with Deadmau5, who remixed their track 'Rope.' Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and David Guetta will also perform.

The band is also up for Album of the Year and Best Rock Performance.

"Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I just pissed myself. Seriously the funniest thing I have heard in ages. Good thing the Grammys have nothing to do with the real music scene.

Such a good laugh, thanks.
