Metallica - To Be Inducted Into Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame announced its 2009 Inductees, one of them being Metallica. On April 4, 2009, the Induction Ceremony will take place in Cleveland for the first time since 1997. The 2009 Induction Ceremony will be broadcast live on Fuse TV.
According to a Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame press release, Metallica is the most successful heavy metal band of the past quarter centry. Metallica's line-up has primarily consisted of drummer Lars Ulrich, rhythm guitarist, vocalist James Hetfield, and lead guitarist Kirk Hammett, as well as current bass player Robert Trujillo. Longtime bassists for the band, the late Cliff Burton, and Jason Newsted, are also being inducted. Metallica's early releases included fast tempos, instrumentals, and aggressive musicianship that placed them as one of the "big four" of the thrash metal subgenre alongside Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax. The band earned a growing fan base in the underground music community and critical acclaim, with the 1986 release "Master of Puppets" described as one of the most influential and "heavy" thrash metal albums. The band achieved substantial commercial success with its self-titled 1991 album, which debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. With this release the band expanded its musical direction resulting in an album that appealed to a more mainstream audience.
The 2009 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame performer inductees were chosen by the 600 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. Artists are eligible for inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twenty-five years after their first recording is released.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honors the legendary performers, producers, songwriters, disc jockeys and others who have made rock and roll the force that it is in our culture. For over two decades, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation has been nominating and electing those figures, and honoring them at an annual ceremony that has become one of the most celebrated events of the year, and certainly one of the hottest tickets in rock.

It acually surprises me they havn't done this already. Like... many years ago when MOP was still "new" and not to much bullshit that came after.

Written by VPeter on 15.01.2009 at 16:01 Dude, you can dislike Metallica, but you can't even say they're a "disgrace". they've done more for metal music than any other band, ever. ever the listened to "Master of Puppets?" yeah, it's pretty much a metal masterpiece. sure, st.anger was a flop, but they came back with death magnetic, and they're still kicking ass live. calling metallica a "disgrace" just blatantly displays your ignorance.

Account deleted Written by Fat & Sassy! on 17.01.2009 at 22:39 Actually, i know  though i've never heard of this "run DMC" before.Anyway, what is a rap artist doing in a ROCK'n'roll hall of fame? IMO the whole thing is a big pile of crap. Oh, and Metallica being inducted before Maiden doesnt mean that they are better.. nor worse.. Whatever...

Written by Guest on 18.01.2009 at 00:59 I'm just confused that another band that originated BEFORE Metallica... that inspired them and many other bands to this day... don't get inducted before them... For the record, I think they both deserve a place in there.

Written by Guest on 18.01.2009 at 00:59 Run DMC are not Rap, they're Hip Hop. Also, they are a very important band in the world of Rock n Roll music, which includes more than just "Rock Bands". As For Maiden, sure they are reviewed as gods in the Heavy Metal, but their popularity amongst the general population is nothing compared to that of Metallica. In a follow up to this article: Metallica wants all their former members to be present for their induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Well, except for Dave Mustaine. And the dead guy, of course.

Written by Syk on 20.01.2009 at 13:47 That puzzled me as well, cause in the days of Run DMC Hip Hop was just a synonym for Rap.
