Classic Rock’s Roll Of Honour

Rock Never Die...bukanlah hanya sebuah jargon penuh basa-basi, tapi kalimat tersebut sudah terbukti dalam kehidupan kita. Musik Rock selalu hidup dan menghidupi. lagu-lagunya selalu dikenang sepanjang masa.
Musik-musik lama selalu membuat Rindu akan selera dan suasana masa lalu.
Musik yang di hasilkan oleh para legenda sangat kuat baik lirik maupun pencapaian irama musiknya.
dan itu semua selalu membuat kita bergetar akan suatu masa di mana kita pernah melewati hari-harinya.

Patut kita simak penghargaan pada musisi Rock yang melegenda atau dengan istilah Classic Rock yang diadakan di London, Inggris, semoga hal demikian juga bisa diadakan di Negara kita Indonesia Tercinta.

Punk pioneer Iggy Pop grabbed the ‘Living Legend’ gong at Classic Rock’s Roll Of Honour event in London this evening. Ronnie Wood, Ginger Baker, John Bonham and many more top stars were also there to collect prestigious awards. Come inside for a full list of winners…
The heavy hitters and major players of the rock music industry all gathered together tonight at the Park Lane Hotel in London to celebrate the winners of the Marshall Classic Rock Roll Of Honour Awards 2009.

Hosted by Thunder’s Danny Bowes, the awards were attended by the biggest names in rock royalty, including Iggy Pop, Ronnie Wood, Tony Iommi and Ginger Baker, all collecting much sought-after Classic Rock magazine awards.

Iggy Pop was named as ‘Living Legend’ (sponsored by Marshall), with Chrissie Hynde of Pretenders fame on hand to present him with his award. Iggy joins rock heroes Alice Cooper, Lemmy, Jimmy Page and Ozzy Osbourne, all of whom are previous ‘Living Legend’ winners.
Recognising his musical achievements with The Jeff Beck Group, The Faces and now The Rolling Stones, and honouring his ‘ageless presence on the scene’, Ronnie Wood was presented with the ‘Outstanding Contribution’ award (sponsored by Monitor Audio) by fellow guitar legend, The Who’s Pete Townshend.

The ‘Tommy Vance Inspiration Award’ (sponsored by Rhino) went to the late, great John Bonham – Led Zeppelin’s legendary drummer and the ‘embodiment of all that is rock’, who, along with Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, formed one of the world’s greatest rock groups of all time. Bonham’s mother and sister collected the award in his honour.
Former Cream drummer Ginger Baker was honoured as the Classic Rock magazine‘Innovator’ (sponsored by Eagle Rock) for his pioneering rhythm techniques and indelible influence. A jazz drummer ‘who embraced and enlivened rock’, Baker’s 40-year career is testament to his ability to fuse music styles and remain cutting-edge.

That’s not all. The crown jewels of the heavy rock and metal world were on the receiving end of Classic Rock honours too, as voted for by readers of Classic Rock magazine.
AC/DC won the reader-voted award for ‘Album Of The Year’ (sponsored by Universal Catalogue / Lost Tunes) for Black Ice.

Commemorating their spectacular achievements of touring around the world last year, the adventures of which created the film Flight 666, Iron Maiden were honoured with the prestigious ‘Band Of The Year’ award (sponsored by Guitar Hero) and were there on the night to personally accept – as was Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, who was given the award for ‘Best Reissue’ (sponsored by Live Nation) for the deluxe re-releases of Black Sabbath’s first three albums: Black Sabbath, Paranoid and Master Of Reality.

The ‘Best New Band’ award (sponsored by Mean Fiddler) went to Chickenfoot, and they beat off worthy competition from Roadrunner Records’ The Parlor Mob and Steadlür, Diagonal, Crippled Black Phoenix and New Device.

‘DVD / Film Of The Year’ (sponsored by Play.com) went to Canadian metallers Anvil for their rockumentary Anvil! The Story Of Anvil.

Live Nation VP of Promotions Andy Copping picked up ‘Event Of The Year’ (sponsored by Alchemy) for the Download Festival, which this year saw some outstanding performances by the likes of Def Leppard, ZZ Top, Whitesnake and Faith No More.
A further nine awards, as decided on by a Classic Rock magazine judging panel, were given out throughout the evening. You can check out the complete list of winners below!

Classic Rock’s Editor In Chief Scott Rowley said:

“It’s nice to end the decade on a high, with the fifth and most star-studded Classic Rock Roll Of Honour. Classic Rock is the UK’s fastest-growing music monthly – and the ONLY one whose sales went up in 2009. It’s going to be a very heavy 2010…”
