Metallica will be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. They've been up for nominations a few times, but this time it stuck. Also, in the class of '09 will be guitar legend Jeff Beck, Run-DMC, Bobby Womack, and Little Anthony & The Imperials. James Hatfield's response to the honour "I think it is pretty different as in, it happens once. You know, some of the other shows and things where you're getting awards, you can continue to get those. But this, this happens once, and this is a celebration of not only us, but all the people who have helped with the vision to get there."
The induction ceremony will take place in Cleveland on April 4th at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum itself and is open to the public for the first time ever. For ticket info check out ticketmaster or Metallica's website www.metclub.com
If you haven't seen the documentary "Some Kind Of Monster" it's a compelling and brutally honest look at Metallica and the issues of being in a successfull group and all that comes with that. It came out a few years ago. Here's the movie trailer.
