​January's Metal Hall of Fame event, which took place in Anaheim, California on 15th January 2020, is set for an airing via Amazon Prime Movies, later this year.

Other inductees on the night included; Don Dokken, Stephen Pearcy, Graham Bonnet, promoter Jack Orbin, Prong, and Metal Church. The Gala was filmed live, and will be aired in early 2020 to over 100 Million subscribers.

The Celebrity Gala included an epic monster jam for the ages, which featured Geoff Tate, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Chris Poland, Bjorn Englen, and Pat Gesualdo, who performed an unbelievable version of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid." Cell phone videos of the epic jam went viral instantly.
