Michael Anthony tuned into the Grammy Awards last night (February 5), but he didn't know what to make of what he was watching.

The former Van Halen bassist shared photos to Instagram he took of his TV during the ceremony. The first two photos were of the devil-inspired performance from Sam Smith and Kim Petras. The other two were of Beyoncé accepting the Grammy for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album. Anthony's caption on the post read, "Trying to watch a little of the Grammys right now. Don’t know if I’m just a bit too old, or a little too buzzed from a couple cocktails… What happened to rock ‘n’ roll??? Congrats, Beyoncé."

Later in the evening, Anthony shared a screenshot of a headline from Ultimate Classic Rock about how Ozzy Osbourne won two Grammy Awards. The thrilled Rock & Roll Hall of Famer captioned the photo, "Thank God, congrats Ozzy!!!!"
