Metallica was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame last night. Besides putting pressure on the Hall to finally induct Deep Purple, Thin Lizzy, Rush, KISS, Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Motorhead and getting to play some of their classics in front of the star-studded crowd, Metallica then pulled some of the luminaries on stage with them for an all-star grand finale jam. Joining them were former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jeff Beck. Heady day for the guys!
