Slayer, Alice In Chains Feel Lemmy Is The True Golden God

The first annual Revolver Golden God Awards are set to air May 2nd on MTV2 and it was the first and only award show to honor the ear splitting genre of Heavy Metal music. With Europe having numerous awards shows that celebrate Heavy Metal, it seems The Revolver Golden God Awards were long overdue. With Ozzy getting the first annual Golden God Lifetime Achievement Award, it's easy to see and recognize the major influence on music he has had along with his band Black Sabbath. So who else does some of Heavy Metals biggest names feel should be considered for future Golden God Awards?

Video clip :

Artisan News caught up with Tom Araya of Slayer to get his thoughts on Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead being a true Golden God.

 Tom Araya On Lemmy Kilmister

"Lemmy. He's it! He's been around forever, you know what I mean? That says a lot about him."

We also caught up with Alice In Chains to find out who they fell in a Golden God.

 Alice In Chains On Lemmy Kilmister

"Well I have blonde hair, so I could qualify. Lemmy! Lemmy! Is it wrong to nominate yourself? I'll go with Lemmy. Yeah, totally. Lemmy's good. Oh, Lemmy he's like everyone's great uncle. He kicked the door in for all us young upstarts. That's right. He epitomizes the Rock N Roll extreme attitude you know. He really symbolizes it all and he's still going strong. That's all you can ask for in this game."

Just a few of the other bands given awards first Annual Revolver Golden God Awards were Isis, Metallica, Megadeth, Slipknot, Protest The Hero, Suicide Silence and Dethklok. Both Slayer and Alice In Chains are in the studio in the process of completing new albums which are due to be released this year.

Hell yeah Lemmy! He's like the absolute stereotype seedy rockstar, he's done everything!

[b4t3man]

Lemmy is the personification of rock and roll

[Freek666]

Slipknot, Protest The Hero and Suicide Silence? What the hell have they contributed?

And yeah, all respect to Lemmy. He deserves to have his lizard squeezed.

[shadow__666]

Lemmy is a God among men. I know he's straight, but if I was to marry any man on Earth, I'd marry him and have me teach him his ways.

[Gasa]

hell yeah! lemmy is a true god!

[ingames]

Lemmy isn't rock and roll; rock and roll IS Lemmy.

i'm pretty sure suicide silence has the highest-charting album by a death metal band. and for some reason, a lot of people love slipknot. haha

Read it more carefully next time. It says they won other awards, not lifetime achievement awards.

Lemmy totally sucks. Motorhead had one "good" song and even that is not so great. Why anyone would want to be with that ugly drunken piece of %$&& is beyond me. There are so many great metal gods. Compared to Metallica and Maiden, this band is 4th rate.

Guess what smart-ass, without Motorhead there wouldn't be a Metallica or Maiden.

[dial-a-death]

Motorhead had more than one good song. You're obviously talking about Ace of Spades, but have never heard Bomber, Overkill, Sing the Blues and about 1000 others. Motorhead are ****ing awesome!

I concede that point (not the smart-ass part) but that still does not make them a great band, but obviously I'm in the minority.

[NightEmbers]

this is why i love this day and age, we got a metal section at FYE and now we got our own awards show.... IDC if metal isnt the biggest thing out there right now, i like it underground so theres more for us, its just perfect

Lemmy is awesome, though, and Motorhead were a revolutionary band.

[DroogieSteve]

lol. suicide silence is not death metal. they're deathcore, which sucks by the way. slipknot is loved by posers.

Suicide Silence aren't GOOD Death metal but it's hard to argue that they "Deathcore" isn't just a subcategory.

Slipknot are one of the few lucky bands to be loved by posers and real metal fans alike, Gun's & Roses and Queen often fall into this category also. If you don't believe they're true metal then you yourself are posing as some estranged true metalhead.

[beelaal85]

M0t0rhead is the only NWOBHM band that I'm into...

[blommen]

tom aroya... THE most terrifying laughter in metal. he sounds like friggin' dracula!!!!

[CliffIsAngry]

and looks like dracula too!

Lemmy would qualify for a golden god indeed.

[Vedicardi]

Get Slipknot the **** out of there

[<Paper Cuts>]

You guys need to do your rock and metal research, because all of your statements of Motorhead being a "revolutionary band" and Lemmy being a God...very interesting...
If you asked anyone today who created music, they sure as hell aren't saying Motorhead.

[Gollum3000]

Metallica? Slipknot? What the hell kind of bands are they nominating?

Old Metallica is alright, but the new Metallica sucks...

Bands like Death, Emperor, and Iron Maiden should be nominated instead of Slipknot...

Ask any REAL (I say "real" because i don't see most Hot Topic "metal" bands as real metal, same goes for some of their fans) metal fan about Motorhead, and they'll recognize that Lemmy and Motorhead have had a major positive influence on metal music.

That's all you have to say about Lemmy and Motorhead right there, sums them up perfectly. They weren't revolutionary, they just rocked. Alot of people dug it and they had a small, but important, influence of Metal.

[HyperBoy2519]

Hahah I got the Airheads reference!

I always felt that all those Chuck Norris jokes should have been about Lemmy to be honest.

[DisarmGoliath]

This article is pretty horrendously written. For a start, the first sentence makes it sounds like the first awards ceremony ever to honour heavy metal... and then the very next sentence points out that Europe has plenty. I imagine the writer meant the first heavy metal ceremony in the USA, but one can only assume. I probably wouldn't have bothered to point it out, but it's not evben the first 'Golden God' awards... there is an annual Golden Gods hosted by Metal Hammer's UK outlet, and it's on a par with the Kerrang! Awards if not more so in terms of popularity.

I find it stupid how people feel (take Metallica for example) that since the band sucks now (and that's their own opinion) they don't deserve glory. Well guess what, people are still heavily influenced by them whether it be the old or new stuff and records are forever. There best work will never be forgotten and since they at one time achieved greatness, they will forever be attached to that and be deserving of it. It's just annoying to me.

Win. Just because a band may not be as good as their prime doesn't mean they don't deserve credit for the great contributions to their music genre. After all, why call it "their prime" if they're supposed to stay the same or keep improving? Every band has its peaks in its career.

Dethlkloks album was the highest charting.

Actually, Metallica was very heavily influenced by Motorhead, and a NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) band called Diamond Head. Hetfield basically put two 'Heads together. lol

Motorhead had no influence on maiden. Maiden formed in 1975 being influenced by Deep Purple, Wishbone Ash, UFO, Genesis, Rush, Black Sabbath, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Jethro tull.

and Lemmy is god.

Yup, Motorhead formed the same year as Maiden, so I highly doubt they had any influence on Maiden.. I mean, i'm no history teacher, but I'm pretty sure about that one... But I don't even consider Motorhead heavy metal. That's just good ol Rock n Roll man..

[Silas S Thompso]

it's metal, but their first album wasn't. It was more 60's 70's influenced. But then lemmy's voice ruffed up and Overkill led them into metal. It's rock n' roll yeah, but it is also metal. It's a fusion of both.

[ryan21947]

lemmy is the heavy metal equivalent of chuck norris. plain and simple.

and i REALLY wish people would stfu about slipknot. their live shows are f-ing amazing.

Metalocalypse is the series, Dethklok is the band, they released an album and I think it peaked at about 21, far higher than any other Death Metal album in the United States.

OK, firstly you've got the origins of grunge wrong - it comes from a hybrid of 60s garage rock, hardcore punk and. yes, early metal.

And Alice in Chains aren't even really grunge - have you heard any of their first two records? Those were pretty fuckin' metal. It as only their third album that became more grunge.

all hail Lemmys' beard :down:

[Cafas]

Honestly, although I think Ozzy's solo stuff is vastly overrated, the first 6 Sabbath albums are ones I'd take with me on a desert island. But that's because of Tony Iommi. Ozzy was the singer, and most well known, sure. But Geezer wrote the lyrics. Iommi created the music, and although he wasn't really alone in helping to invent the genre, he truly christened metal. Ozzy just came up with vocal melodies, and his voice is distinctive, but not great.

Yeah I can dig what you are saying Silas. Most people would consider them heavy metal... It's jsut that, I forget when I heard this, but Lemmy himself said he never considered themselves a metal band, that they were just rock n roll.. Then something about rock n roll being sacred etc etc etc.. I'm sure it's on wiki or something, but I don't really feel like checking, due to the fact that Lemmy is awesome regardless of what he decides his bands genre is...

Black Sabbath is Ozzy's band? "His" band sure records a lot of albums without him.

I like Ozzy and all but he didn't write any of the music for Black Sabbath, except the harmonica bit on "The Wizard." If the band belongs to anyone, it would be Iommi and Geezer.

So you basicly whant to say that Alice In Chains are a punk-rock influenced band? Ever heard a song from them? Nirvana were a punk band, Pearl Jam have some influences from Ramones, but Alice In Chains? Their music was heavier influenced by Hendrix then any punk band. One more thing: There was never such thing like grunge. It's a press term. All those early 90s Seattle-based bands really had almost nothing in common.

[beardorocks]

They voted Lemmy not Motorhead(who i love).He played in Hawkwind,was a roadie for hendrix.Also most do not realize that he wrote/co wrote several songs for other artist such as Ozzy,Girlschool, Plasmatics ect.He is a living legend and deserves some recognition before he croaks.

Soundgarden and Alice in Chains had so many Sabbath inspired riffs you'd think they were a cover band. There is no grunge, it was just a period in the Alternative Rock movement, a movement which has roots dating back to the late '60's and includes proto-bands from far outside just "indie" music, whatever bands that would even include.

[pawnshopguitars]

Lemmy really is God, and thoroughly deserving of this award.

[isabiggles]

there are many bands that are WAY more deserving of an award. this show is gunna be a joke.

Lemmy's a badass. I would imagine that he begins every day by drinking a pint of minotaur tears, punching a nun in the face and dropkicking a puppy into a wood chipper. That's what I reckon anyway...

Here's how lemmy's day goes. He wakes up kicks the chick out the door and told her that his snake skin was rubbed and that's all she was good for, then instead of coffee starts up with the whiskey and beer and such. Then he goes out on the street where he gets some more chicks. Then some more drinks. Then he ****s the chicks. Then he drinks the drinks. Then he delivers awsome music.

Did anyone else watch this program last night? I tried to watch it, but couldn't bring myself to watch more than 10 minutes, mainly due to the fact that I don't think Brian Posiehn has any business being on TV. I mean come on, he was up on stage spewing out meaningless headbanger bullshit, something ANYONE could do... I just found the whole reward show a bit campy, as well as lame. It's like they tried waaay to hard to make it as metal as possible.. And in the end, instead of metal, they got shit, infused with metal. A great idea for a show I think, but it was shit. Also, I should just add the IMO right here, before someone freaks out on me..

D'oh! I meant have him teach me his ways.

Bottom line, Lemmy is awesome. I don't even like metal and I :heart: Lemmy.

Lemmy totally sucks. Motorhead had one "good" song and even that is not so great. Why anyone would want to be with that ugly drunken piece of %$&& is beyond me. There are so many great metal gods. Compared to Metallica and Maiden, this band is 4th rate.

Guess what smart-ass, without Motorhead there wouldn't be a Metallica or Maiden.

Wrong. Metallica had many more influences than motorhead. You obviously don't know anything about metallica.
Actually, Metallica was very heavily influenced by Motorhead, and a NWOBHM (New Wave Of British Heavy Metal) band called Diamond Head. Hetfield basically put two 'Heads together. lol

Inspired is different than saying they wouldn't be around if not for them. Motorheard came out in 75. metallica in 81 and hetfield was in various garage bands throughout the late seventies. hetfields favorite band in high school was aerosmith. He loves diamond head and he loves motorhead. My argument is that metallica would have been around regardless motorhead existed.
