[After hearing that the band's songs were nominated for three Grammy Awards, for Best Pop Performance by a Group with Vocals, Best Rock Album for "The Reason," and the hit single "The Reason" nominated for the Song of the Year Grammy, Robb said:] It hasn't sunk in yet.

"Last night was a weird one. After Leno [that is, after appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (1992), we went to this bar to see a comedy 1980s hair metal band from L.A. called "Metal School".

He actually pointed me out. But I was laughing. I got up on stage and we did 'Ain't Talking 'Bout Love' from Van Halen" [The Toronto Sun, June 18, 2004].
