Rock legends Metallica, Slipknot and Rage Against The Machine have been honoured for their contribution to heavy music at the Kerrang! Awards.
US thrash metal legends Metallica won the Inspiration award from the magazine which the band collected to a raucous standing ovation.
Presenting the award in London, Kerrang! editor Paul Brannigan, said: "Every artist you have seen tonight has been influenced by this band and their classic albums."
Lars Ulrich, Metallica's drummer, said: "There are so many people in this room that inspire us and keep us alive, so I just want to thank everyone for keeping Metallica alive."
Newly reformed rap-rock band Rage Against The Machine won the Hall of Fame award, which has previously been awarded to Judas Priest and AC/DC, while Slipknot collected the Kerrang! Icon award.
