dalsh327 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I´m looking forward to the performance. As for the award, congrats... but this is not exactly a GrammyI think it's way better than both the Grammy Awards as well as R&R HOF because the decision is left up to real people to vote instead of a committee. Golden Gods Awards are quickly becoming a well respected establishment in the rock music community. If the name was John Lennon or Freddy Mercury Award I would feel more confortable with it. People vote? I think any actor out there rather win an Oscar than the People´s Choice Award bullshit. This I´m afraid is kinda the same thing but with musicians.Golden Gods is more geared towards metal acts; they ain't gonna call the lifetime achievement award the John Lennon or Freddie Mercury award. And Ronnie James Dio was like the Freddie Mercury of metal...Ronnie was singing professionally when they were filming Elvis from the waist up. He was in his 30s when he put "Holy Diver" out. I just think the down side to Ronnie as far as credibility goes were "Dungeons and Dragons" related. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jekylhyde Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I think is great news. I'm actually happy for Axl. Hopefully this gives him some confidence to release new music. If it doesn't, still cool. It must be nice to get this kind of award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Lifetime achievement? For putting out some good albums during a 4 year span then drive everyone in the band out and alternating between hibernating and touring for the next 23 years, releasing one album in that span?Good promo nonetheless, and I appreciate them recognizing Axl, but to me lifetime achievement should go to someone who has consistently been great over time. Not what I would say about Axl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moreblack Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Such a shame that some are so negative and biased that they feel the need to make disparaging comments regarding this announcement.It's nothing new, and for the most part harmless. But when you call into question Ronnie James Dio or the fact that the award is named after him... What did he ever do to you? There's nobody in the metal community that has a single bad thing to say about Dio. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuzeville Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Let's see if this actually happens. We might still get a convoluted statement informing us that Axl had no idea and that even though he's got nothing against Ronnie James Dio, Epiphone, Joan Jett, A Day To Remember and the word "revolver", and is actually honored--on behalf of the f'n fans--to have been considered, he'd rather not.

But they actually plan on performing, so I don't think that'll happen. This is being looked at as an actual "show" it seems. They'll probably close the ceremony.
