METALLICA Is 'Honored' To Be Considered For ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME Induction

September 23, 2008

METALLICA is among nine nominees announced on Monday vying for five spots in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

According to Reuters, artists become eligible for the Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first single or album and are represented in an exhibition at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.

More than 500 music industry professionals will choose five of the nominees for the 24th annual induction on April 4 in Cleveland. The inductees will be announced in January.

Commented METALLICA: "We're honored to be among the nine nominees being considered for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame . . . has it really been 25 years since our first record came out? Yeah, that's the criteria to be nominated and we're keeping company this year with JEFF BECK, CHIC, WANDA JACKSON, LITTLE ANTHONY AND THE IMPERIALS, RUN D.M.C., THE STOOGES, WAR and BOBBY WOMACK. Of course we don't know yet if we're really in... The official inductees for this year are not announced until January 2009."
