You metalheads would've had a hard on just a few minutes ago.
As I was sitting in my office, I kept hearing shouts and people yelling. Thinking it was time that I made a complaint about the acoustics in my office, I looked out the window and saw about 100+ people standing in the patio area of the Rainbow Bar & Grill across the street. It turns out that Revolver Magazine was announcing their 2010 Golden Gods Awards. My coworker, the aging metal mistress Bonnie, and I stood at my window as Rob Halford, Dave Mustaine, Andrew WK, Zakk Wylde and some other people I don't even know (see blurb below) got their photos taken in front of a few motor bikes. Passersby have been honking their horns everytime you see one of these --

America’s first-ever hard-rock and heavy-metal music awards show is back! The second annual REVOLVER GOLDEN GODS AWARDS presented by Epiphone will take place Thursday, April 8, returning to Club Nokia in Downtown Los Angeles. The show will later be televised on VH1 Classic on Saturday, May 22 (air time TBA). Tickets go on sale this Friday, February 19 via Ticketmaster.
This year, hosting duties for the Golden Gods will be shared between musician, activist, and entrepreneur Andrew W.K. and professional wrestler, actor, author, and metal fan Chris Jericho. The nominees of nine different categories—plus the recipients of this year’s prestigious Golden God Award and the Revolver Golden Gods Lifetime Achievement Award—were revealed today at a press conference held at the Rainbow Bar & Grill on the world-famous Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. Both hosts were on hand, along with Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead), Dave Mustaine (Megadeth), Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne), Vinnie Paul (HELLYEAH, Pantera), Chuck Billy (Testament), Kat Von D (TV's L.A. Ink) and NFL Dallas Cowboys Marc Columbo, Cory Proctor, and Leonard Davis to announce the nominees.
Yeah, I wasn't that excited about it either.
