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.
SLIPKNOT lead singer Corey Taylor dedicated the award to the band's drummer Joey Jordison, who was absent due to a broken ankle.
Taylor said: "I'm speechless; I don't know what to say. I wish there was more of us here. I just showed up for the booze."
