Golden Gods
Last night was one of the most coveted award ceremonies in the world of rock music, The Metal Hammer Golden Gods awards, and saw everyone who’s anyone turning out to check out the recipients of this year’s gongs.
Everyone from Kerry King, Ace Frehley and Max Cavalera to Kat Von D and Rita ‘Dimebag’ Haney showed up to watch rock legends get the recognition for all their hard work over the past year.
We saw Iron Maiden honoured with the prize for Best UK Band whilst Machine Head took home the gong for Best Live Act and Roadrunner Records were given the exciting prize of Best Metal Label, which of course, I have to agree with, as I love the girlies that work there!
