The Golden Gods is quickly becoming the coolest show around, considering it's the only awards show that actually honors metal music (screw the Grammys). This past week, so many bands came together to celebrate this music we love, and to honor metal and the memory of the mighty Jeff Hanneman from Slayer. So many musicians performed, and were fantastic, including the guys in Stone Sour, who delivered this crushing performance of Sabbath's "Children of the Grave".

Echols is one of the West Memphis Three, a trio of young men who were convicted of murder without solid evidence to back it up. After much support from artists such as Manson and new discoveries such as upgraded DNA testing, which did not place any of the West Memphis Three at the scene of the crime, the three were released last year.

Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx Wins Best Bassist at 2012 Revolver Golden Gods

It was fitting that three members of Slipknot hit the stage to present an honor that’s new to the Revolver Golden Gods this year, and an equally fitting name for it — the Paul Gray Best Bassist Award. Gray was, after all, Slipknot’s bassist until his tragic death in May 2010 from a drug overdose, and a very skilled one at that. Bass players are often the unsung hero of the band, but nobody ever overlooked Gray — during his life or after his passing.
