Run DMC and Metallica Take the Stage Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Metallica and Run DMC are two super groups that will come together whit old band mates and take the stage to accept the honor of being inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
While past ceremonies have depicted tension between old band members, as per the behind the scenes grudges between members of Blondie and Van Halen, Metallica and Run DMC are two groups that plan on treating the event as a joyful milestone, rather than a mix of bad blood.
Metallica have told press that they are not interested in any drama and plan to invite former bassist Jason Newsted to perform with them alongside current bassist Robert Trujillo. Frontman James Hetfield has promised that instead of tension, the group will make the night a celebration of their long career, mtvnews.com reports.
Run DMC will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Eminem, who makes few public appearances these days. Although Run DMC have drifted apart and are rarely seen in the same room together, this induction will be a celebration honoring not only the groups accomplishments, but also a tribute to DJ Jason “Jam Master Jay” Mizell whom was killed in an unsolved 2002 ambush.
