Metallica may not be the first Heavy Metal band to reach epic proportions, but Metallica may have reached the biggest heights. The question is whether their induction will pave the way for other deserving Metal acts.

During the early 60s many music fans were divided musically into either the Beatles camp or the Rolling Stones camp and they despised the other fans. Nowadays, that seems a little silly, but it wasn’t that long ago that a couple of us at NIHOF remembered that the Metal community had fans divided into the Metallica and Megadeth camps as well.
