News - Inspiration award winner

Kerrang! editor Paul Brannigan took to the stage to present the final award of the night.

In 1983 Kill 'Em All revolutionised music, and some 25 years later, the winners of the Kerrang! Inspiration award are still setting the standard which all heavy metal bands aspire to.

Be upstanding, and give a round of applause boys and girls for the 2008 Kerrang! Inspiration award winners, Metallica!

Now lets go party!

Cj // 25.08.08

Didn't you just know Metallica would have won this XD

However, I think they're way above this as are Maiden.
Metallica came from Maiden.
So why didn't Maiden win this award?

moth // 25.08.08

maiden ave won it before havent they

LindseyBFMVfan18 // 26.08.08

Metallica are fucking brilliant! even if you don't like them you can't deny that millions of bands are influenced by them. so anyone saying that they shouldn't of won are actually quite stupid and obviously don't know much about music!

gothess // 26.08.08

yes this band deserved this so much and yes they have influenced most of the brilliant metal bands around. there is only one song i dont like by them and that is enter sandman its just too commercial and everyone accotiates them with that song. sorry if ive pissed any metallica fans off its just the way i feel. i love there other shit that kicks ass. cant wait to hear the new shit

Chuckdeezul // 26.08.08

Metallica died with Cliff. This band SUX! Violins, tubas, and cellos!? WTF!

Master Of Puppets // 27.08.08

Hey, dickehead above me, iron maiden may suck the dick, but metallica are the ones doing the beast up the fucking arse!
What kind of gaylord is called aaron anyway? lol.

Olivia // 27.08.08

Every single winner of this years awards has disappointed me greatly.

Ryan // 28.08.08

Yer man uv gotta love Metallica. Seen them twice now and they were awesome both times. (Wembley 07 and Reading 08.) My uncle got me into them but you have to love and really respect them. Eagerly anticipating the new album cos i have no idea if it will rock or flop!

Louise // 28.08.08

metallica are probably the biggest influence in anyones music lives, but their best music did die with cliff, they still deserved to win, although guns n roses are my fave..........
