The Metal Hall of Fame is a non profit, volunteer organization dedicated to forever enshrining the iconic musicians and music industry executives responsible for making Hard Rock and
Heavy Metal music what it is today. Their contribution to the genre is invaluable, and they continue to inspire fans throughout the world, from generation to generation. The Annual Metal Hall of Fame Celebrity Gala has included many historical Hard Rock and
Heavy Metal moments. For example, our idea to join with Sharon and

Metallica Induct Megaforce Records Founders Jon and Marsha Zazula. Inducting
Judas Priest at Wacken Open Air. Inducting Triumph, and members of Kiss and Iron Maiden, among others for the 5th Year Anniversary Bash. Having the Don Airey surprise Induction for
