2015 Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards

Jimmy Page took home a trophy during last nights Classic Rock Roll of Honour Awards. Alice Cooper loves the awards show because he gets to meet up with friends he hasn't seen in a long time. Jimmy Page was in attendance to accept, for the second year in a row, the award for Reissue of the Year for the remainder of the Zeppelin catalog that he oversaw. Walking the red carpet he said, "This is a real thrill... When I put it together, I was really hoping it would warm people's hearts if you like and the reaction to it by the fans has been phenomenal." Alice Cooper was on hand to accept the award for Classic Album for his Welcome to My Nightmare. He says attending awards shows like this is a good excuse to catch up with his fellow musicians. "A lot of times all of us are all touring at the same time, so you never bump into the same people that you've known for 30 years." Nils Lofgren, who moonlights as a guitarist in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, was presented with the Outstanding Contribution award, and, seeing as how he is on tour in England, he made the trip into London to accept it. He says, "To have people still want to hear me sing after 47 years on the road and be here for this award, I'm honored." Brian May gratefully accepted Living Legend award on behalf of Queen, and he says this award, from Classic Rock, "completes the display on the mantle piece. I'm very pleased."
