    This is such amazing news for U2. I’m sure we’re all pleased with the nominations. They have some pretty cool company in the categories as well – Foo Fighters, Coldplay. It should be an interesting show. Hopefully we’ll get to see another great grammy performance from our guys.

    I don’t think they could top last years. It was the best Grammy performance I have ever seen.

    They sang SYCMIOYO last year, right? To each his own, but that bored me. Give me COBL or OOTS, please….
