In a recent interview with Axl Rosenberg of MetalSucks, Lamb Of God drummer Chris Adler discusses his band's recent Grammy nomination, touring with Metallica, not letting all the success go to his head, and how the band keeps things fresh and vital. An excerpt follows:

Are you even planning to attend the ceremony, or do you watch it from home, or do you just not watch at all? Last time we did, all of us attended except for Randy [Blythe, vocalist]. He had his own little personal boycott of it in the same vein that we're talking about � thinking that it's kind of a joke. This time, I think three of us are attending. Mark [Morton, guitarist] and Randy are staying at home. Randy, out of some personal protest, is not attending. I did attend the first time, and I am attending this time. It's not that I'm going and thinking that we're going to win. In fact, I'm fairly certain that we're not. I think that there are several bands on the list that definitely deserve to win. For me, the after-parties and the show itself are just crazy. It's so out of my world. I'm just this kid from Virginia that grew up listening to metal. Last time I went to the Grammys, I ended up at a party with "Weird Al" Yankovic and Smokey Robinson. Paris Hilton was there, Dave Grohl was there, and I'm looking around like, "How the f*** did I get in here?" [laughs]

Do they seat you with the other metal nominees so at least you're close to the Slayer dudes and the Megadeth dudes and some of the guys you know? Yeah. Well, the last time they did. We all kind of sat together and jeered each other on. At this point, we all know each other fairly well. It's a pretty cool little community there.
