Run-D.M.C. hits the Hall, too


Joining Metallica in the next round of Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame inductions in April is Run-D.M.C., who become the second hip-hop act ever to enter the Hall, behind Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Run-D.M.C. is made up of Reverend Run, D.M.C., and the late Jam Master Jay. They had a bunch of hits in their start, but become total legends when they paired with Aerosmith to cover Walk This Way. Check out the video for it below...it's always been one of my favorites.

Metallica lands a spot in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame


Frontman James Hetfield and the fellas of Metallica (well, minus the ones that quit the band or died) are being inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility! A band has to be nominated 25 years after their first release (Metallica dropped Kill 'Em All in 1983) in order to be eligible. And they're still coming out with huge hits, releasing a SICK album in September called Death Magnetic. Drummer Lars Ulrich was obviously pumped band.

It's about unity. We are part of a bigger picture. I personally love rock 'n' roll history and how everything fits together. To be a part of that history and to inspire what's coming after us is a great, great honor.

I've always been a Metallica fan, and their latest album is...I can't explain how sick it is. If you love metal even a little bit, check it out. Congrats!!
