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".
