It may be the best ceremony titles in entertainment. But if that’s not
enough to get you to tune in to VH1’s Revolver Golden Gods Awards, there are a few others — namely Mötley
Crüe, Alice Cooper and… Shatner?
Yes if metal isn’t your thing you might at least want to
tune in to catch Captain Kirk receive the Honorary Headbanger Award, which will
be presented by comedian Brian Posehn and Scott Ian of Anthrax. Shatner might
seem like a strange choice but his upcoming release Seeking Major Tom is a
concept album fueled by hard rock and metal cover tunes.
Mötley Crüe will receive the first ever Ronnie James Dio Lifetime
Achievement Award. Avenged Sevenfold will receive Album of the Year for Nightmare. And Cooper will receive the
Golden God Award from Rob Zombie. He’ll also take the stage with the original
members of the Alice Cooper Group to perform the rock classic “School’s Out.”
The whole event is hosted by Chris Jericho. The WWE superstar has gained
some mainstream recognition recently as a competitor on Dancing with the Stars.
He might not have taken home the Mirror Ball Trophy but he did make Carrie Ann
Inaba cry when he danced an emotional tribute to his mother to the Beatles’ “Let
It Be.” Jericho is also the frontman for the band Fozzy.
Get ready to bang your head when the Revolver Golden Globe
Awards airs on Saturday night at 10 p.m. EST/9 p.m. Central on VH1.
