But what I really want to know is,
Are you gonna go my way?

He won the Grammy Award for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance four years in a row from 1999 to 2002, breaking the record for most wins in that category as well as setting the record for most consecutive wins in one category by a male, and has been nominated for and even won a number of others.
