Metallica and Run-DMC were inducted Saturday to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Other inductees were Jeff Beck, Bobby Womack, and Little Anthony and the Imperials.
Bassist Jason Newsted, who left in 2001, joined Metallica in a performance onstage. Ray Burton, father to Cliff Burton, their original bassist, accepted the award along with the band. Cliff died in 1986 after a bus accident in their tour in Sweden.
Connie Mizell accepted the award for her son Jason (Jam Master Jay), who was shot to death in 2002.
Beck had been inducted in 1992 with the Yardbirds.
The ceremony was held in Cleveland, after 12 years in New York. It was also the first time it was open to the public.
