Who won the big awards?

Who won the big awards?

It's really late, I'm somewhere between drunk and hungover and the 6th annual Revolver Golden Gods Awards are in the books. I'll have a proper recap of my experience on this Sunday's Livecast, but I can tell you two big highlights: getting smoked up by Max Cavalera's sons and watching Guns N Roses from the side of the stage. I don't know how I got that lucky either. Oh, and Slayer premiered a new song – a pretty big deal if you ask me.
