Video footage of some of the red-carpet arrivals and interviews can be seen below.

Classic Rock editor-in-chief Scott Rowley said: "You would never know it from listening to the radio or watching TV — but while you were all getting excited about PSY and FUN and NICKI MINAJ, it's actually been a great year for new rock music.

"We've heard brilliant new albums from ZZ TOP, RUSH, AEROSMITH, KISS, SPRINGSTEEN, SLASH, LYNYRD SKYNYRD and VAN HALEN.

“Some great new artists are coming in to their own: RIVALS SONS, TRACER, HOWLIN' RAIN, GARY CLARK JR. — the list goes on.

"Classic Rock is proud to keep on supporting rock music, classic and brand new, and the Roll Of Honour has become a office party for the rock industry."
