It had been two years since I last went to the Revolver Golden Gods Awards. This time around, I would be there as the rock blogger for the GRAMMYs, since the awards show coincided with the opening of the GRAMMY Museum’s new exhibit Golden Gods: The History of Heavy Metal. See below for links to the pieces I wrote about the show for GRAMMY.com., and the interviews I did with the curators of the exhibit and on the black carpet with many of my favorite musicians.
