Watch METALLICA's ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME Induction Right Now!
- Apr. 4, 2009
|
|
|
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opens its doors to METALLICA today (Saturday, April 4), making them only the second pure heavy metal act, after BLACK SABBATH, to be inducted.
Watch the entire ceremony using the player below.
(Update: The Rock And Roll Hall of Fame broadcast is now over.)
METALLICA was named to the Hall on their first chance at eligibility, and drummer Lars Ulrich told The Pulse of Radio he's perfectly happy to go in now. "Sometimes, especially with younger people, one has a tendency to quickly, you know, when accolades come your way, to kind of go the cool way and say, 'Well, that doesn't mean that much, you know. Try me again in 10 years, darling,' you know, that type of stuff," he said. "But I'm 45. I'd much rather be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame while I'm still conscious enough to experience it and enjoy it and certainly more interested than being, you know, 65 years from now or whenever when, you know, it would be a different thing. So I'm proud, I'm psyched."
One of the most anticipated moments of Saturday's event will be when former bassist Jason Newsted performs with METALLICA for the first time in nearly a decade. Newsted himself is looking forward to that and also to seeing literally hundreds of people from METALLICA's history who are coming to Cleveland for the ceremony. "You know, the whole thing is about nostalgia anyway, right?" Newsted said. "The Hall of Fame is, that's really what it's based on. So that part is gonna be very, very intact for us. We have a lot of roots going very deep that will be in the room with us on the moment, and that gives us strength that's really indescribable."
Both Newsted and current bassist Robert Trujillo will perform at the ceremony. Both are being inducted, along with late bassist Cliff Burton.
The band will be inducted by RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS bassist Flea.
METALLICA was nominated 25 years after the release of the band's 1983 debut album, "Kill 'Em All". An act must be recording for a quarter century in order to be eligible.
Other acts getting inducted on Saturday (April 4) include RUN-DMC, JEFF BECK, LITTLE ANTHONY & THE IMPERIALS and BOBBY WOMACK.

That's a factual statement only.
If there was any justice, Purple, Priest, Maiden and Motorhead would have preceded Metallica into the Hall.
Not taking anything away from Metallica...simply saying that those bands deserve to be in the band BEFORE Metallica.
Metallica are only getting in there because money (aka album sales) talks.

Who is is the dope that wrote this story?
"An act must be recording for a quarter century in order to be eligible."
No, an act doesn't have to be "recording for a quarter century..."
It just has to be 25 yrs since their first recording. Jimi Hendrix recorded for
3 years.... Learn how to write in an accurate way.

Deserved. Go back over their history people, they helped to create an entire genre of music. The first 4 albums are true classics and influenced millions of people / musicians all over the world. They may not be as good as they were in some peoples opinion, but they deserve it for what they DID anyway, and what they still do today. Fucking legendary band. Show some respect you ignorant assholes.

at 45, getting inducted must be a blast. all the post parties and that stuff, the jam sessions and the adoration. Getting in at 70?? eh, go for the dinner , get inducted, go home and go to bed. Lucky bastard Lars is. that said, the RRHOF is a joke.

It's not just about an award, it's what it represents, man. If you remember who Mustaine is, then that is what matters. This induction is not only about Metallica but about everything else that grew parallel of it. Including Deth, but also all those monsters of rock and roll, from Deep Purple to Motorhead, Cooper, etc.

Okay-Seems like VH-1 gave up on Hall of Fame coverage. We've all been robbed here. Why didn't they cover the whole 2009 event on FUSE TV? I don't care what others think. The whole visual history of Rock is in storage places like Iron Mountain Stroage and owned by Dick Clark and others like him. So when I'm 99 do I have beg my great grand kids to wheel me out of shady pines rest home to get my rare Rock footage at Wal-Mart?

Metallica hasn't even been a damned pertinent band for anyone who's not a trendy asshole for almost 2 decades. Fuck 'em, and fuck everyone who likes their shit after the Black album.
Death Fagnetic blows as well, btw.

I can't believe that some of you even give a shit weather or no t Metallica got inducted into a bullshit tourist trap. Fan or no fan, that place is a pathetic joke.
Really people, most true fans of rock music know this, and couldn't care if their favorite band made it in or not. It's a part time promotional tool and full time road side ripoff attraction. It deserves no merit or praise from any of you. It was created for pop culture sheep.
