This historical event was launched on the same day as the REVOLVER Golden Gods Award Show, which took place next door at Club Nokia at L.A. This is the first major museum exhibition to explore Heavy Metal in America, and the genre’s impact across the globe. Visitors will enjoy a wide-array of items, including:
\m/ Handwritten lyrics and sketches from Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister;
\m/ Several wardrobe pieces, from acts like Black Sabbath and Gwar;
\m/ Stage props from bands such as Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Slayer and more;
\m/ An interactive “scream booth,” designed to introduce Metal vocal technique;
\m/ Several famous guitars including Chuck Schuldiner’s (DEATH) B.C. Rich Stealth;
\m/ Concert posters, tour books and fan memorabilia
We were there to witness this amazing moment for OUR music. During our visit to the first-ever museum devoted to Hard Rock and Heavy Metal, we had our camera's rolling in order to show you a virtual tour of the museum. We also had the chance to chat with Phil Soussan (ex-OZZY OSBOURNE, RONNIE JAMES DIO, BILLY IDOL, VINCE NEIL BAND & More), Jose Mangin (Sirius XM, Headbangers Ball, Latination) and Dean Schachtel (DIO's right hand man). Grab a cold one and get ready to witness Heavy Music history!
