Swooping Down On Revolver’s Golden Gods Awards
posted by Jon on April 9th, 2009 in Uncategorized
If you would have told me when I was high school that many years later I’d be a VIP at the Golden Gods metal awards show I would have pinched myself. It’s a pretty awesome and yet awkward feeling when you are in the Men’s room and you look to your left and realize, “Holy shit, Kerry King from Slayer is next to me.” Obviously not a good time to shake his hand, but nonetheless, a cool metal moment.
Jonathan Davis from Korn, who presented Ozzy Osbourne with Lifetime Achievement award summed the night up best. He said something to the effect of “Finally, I don’t have to travel overseas to be at a metal awards show,” which was met with a huge round of applause!
The performances were really good, Killswitch Engage, Suicide Silence, All That Remains, Hatebreed and Megadeth all rocked the stage and Brian Posehn was his usual, funny self!
The house band” for the evening was Steel Panther’s own Satchel who would solo in between each introduction, etc. It was really fun.
A big round of applause to Revolver, 4Fini and all involved in the Golden Gods Award Show.
