The only thing I know of, at all, is their playing a Bourree by Bach in a jazz style. This was rather entertaining to watch because the flautist, who was playing the melody, a) tended to open his eyes *really* wide, a rather dramatic effect with his flowing brown hair and b) was frequently standing on one foot. That was, um, quite a while ago now (as in I think it's on a videotape we have from 1970).

It really sucked that they won the first heavy metal grammy, but they aren't even a heavy metal band. :lol:

That really turned a lot of heavy metal fans away from the grammies. I like him though. I love the idea of a flute in a rock band.

im not against flute or flute players but when my friend recomended it i was listing to iron maiden and led zeppelin so it was alot of contrast to be listing to a flute

Yes, because it was the first year for that award and it's still infamous for being idiotic.
