Heavy Metal

April 17th will mark the very first Revolver Golden Gods Award show, similar to Metal Hammer’s UK edition that has happened for awhile now. This first year there will be a handful of bands performing. You’ll see Hatebreed, Killswitch Engage, Suicide Silence, All That Remains and to headline the event will be none other than Megadeth. I don’t think I could think of many other bands that deserve to headline this event. Finally an American award show dedicated to heavy metal…and we’ll all still bitch about who gets what award. Dave Mustaine commented:

“Finally a heavy metal award, of the people, by the people, and for the people! This evening’s line-up of talent is a heavy metal fan’s wet dream! Only Revolver would have the credibility to make our dreams come true with the First Annual Golden Gods Awards. To see Ozzy get a lifetime achievement is long overdue. It is an honor to say, ‘YES! Megadeth will headline!’… I doubt Jethro Tull will be getting an award.”

Ozzy Osbourne, will be presented with a deserving lifetime achievement award. In addition, the event will be hosted by Brian Posehn and there will be guest metal icons presenting the awards. You may see Glenn Danzig, Lemmy, Chuck Billy, Vinnie Paul, Scott Ian and Maynard James Keenan. Tickets are still available through ticketmaster . The show will air on Mtv for an hour special in May.
