Who's enjoying this the most? Impossible to say. They're all loving it. But so are we -- these guys are letting it rip. It's yet another impossible-to-forget GRAMMY moment. One among many tonight for the history books.
-
It’s an all-around ferocious song. Not sure about Lindsey Buckingham, but has Dave Grohl ever met a ferocious song he didn’t like?
-
-
This is another vocal assault (do you have helmets on, out there?) by Josh Homme. Fierce!
-
Let’s turn our attentions to Queens of the Stone Age now, though. They’re taking the reins with “My God is the Sun,” up for Best Rock Performance tonight.

It's another guitar shootout to close the 56th Annual GRAMMY Awards. In 2012 the 54th GRAMMY Awards came to an electrifying end when Paul McCartney was joined by Dave Grohl, Joe Walsh, Bruce Springsteen, and Rusty Anderson for a performance of the Beatles medley "Golden Slumbers"/"Carry That Weight"/"The End"

Way to surprise millions of grateful GRAMMY viewers, Dave Grohl and Lindsey Buckingham.
-
And with Dave Grohl and Lindsey Buckingham helping out, the attack level has been kicked up to fierce.
-
This is the kind of sonic assault NIN dishes out handily. And expertly.
-
Congratulations pour in for Album Of The Year winners Daft Punk
-
I am just a copy of a copy of a copy

Lookout, it’s final performance time. Here’s NIN ripping into “Copy of A,” off the new album “Hesitation Marks.” It’s trance-y and dark and kind of familiar — Trent Reznor revisiting his old days, but with a 2014 twist.
-
The winner for Record Of The Year is "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers!
-
Ryan Lewis’ sister Laura was among tonight’s brides. Talk about tying the knot in style …
-
Good that there’s a commercial break, because I think we all need a minute to recover after all those nuptials. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Madonna get my vote for coolest wedding singers ever.
-
Here’s a belated shout-out to Trombone Shorty, too, doing brass players everywhere proud. The guy can blow.

It’s not just a GRAMMY moment to remember, actually. It’s even bigger than that. It’s TV moment to remember, something we’ll likely be talking about years from now.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Madonna, Mary Lambert and Queen Latifah onstage

A lot of joy on this stage-turned-altar right now. This, everybody, is a GRAMMY moment to remember.

Madonna’s here to sing her blessings -- hearts are opening.
