[clickie]

theres been a couple shows where i booked because they went on too long...
metallica around 1992 was one...and then the chilis at lolla when they had that giant spinning spiral on stage
it was hard to avoid looking at that thing and it gave me a headache...

Good for him. Anyone that snubs the RnRHoF gets a pass from me.

I am curious about the Lana Del Ray business. Is Axl really dating her?
It's an odd pairing.

Because?

Because The Hall of Fame is an elitist joke. When you have toolbags like Jann Wenner and David Marsh deciding by secret ballot who gets in and who doesn't plus the fact there's deals made between these jackholes and record companies to promote bands who are doing new albums and tours or reunions, anyone can see it's a shame from the ground up.

I absolutely agree about the HOF however....Axl is a jackass.


So let the guys who are showing up have fun and find someone else to sing GnR songs with them

Yeah, I agree Axl is a world class asshole but he can't stop the other guys from accepting the induction or even performing a few songs with someone else on vocals. And frankly, looking at a couple of his former bandmates like Steven Adler who's been desperately and pathetically sucking Axl's cock hoping for a reunion for years only to turn around within *hours* of Axl's note calling GnR's current band "scabs" doesn't exactly engender sympathy for the ex-banmates from me. At least guys like Izzy and Duff seem to have the common sense to avoid the BS.

I just think the idea and execution of the whole HoF idea for rock n' roll artists has been a pile of shit from day one and far overshadows the few bands like GnR's little interpersonal feuds that "spoil" these induction events.

[Romeo]

I think the selection & criteria for who is selected sucks hairy balls.
How can you have Madonna or Abba but not Rush.
Who's more RnR???


But Duff and Slash for the most part have stayed out of the Axl bullshit. Steven Adler will suck anyones cock to regain GnR recognition...Slash, Axl....whoever. I kind of feel sorry for him but he did himself in.

[Matz]

Rush is not in the hall?! But the Beastie boys either are or will be? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

[Romeo]

Nope. They are not!

To be fair it should be called the music HOF because of the different groups and people in there. All of that said the Beastie Boys music is more enjoyable to me than anything Rush has ever done. Not saying they suck or do not deserve to be in there but there are many others that feel that way as well.

[Romeo]

I think Rush & The Beasties should be in there over ABBA & Madonna. For sure.

[Juana]

Yeah but that isn't the only thing that goes for it. Sadly its just a popularity contest which well I guess is why there is a "pop" music in the first place

[Matz]

I didn't mean to imply that the Beastie Boys suck or anything by the way, I think they're great. I just think that a classic band like Rush, maybe the best prog rock band ever, should have been inducted 15 years ago or something. Certainly long before Madonna or Beastie Boys and the likes

Funny you say that, I was wondering why Green Day of all bands were inducting Guns, then I read yesterday they're releasing 3 albums between Sept. 2012 and January 2013. Nice high profile appearance to jump back into the public's eye with 3 albums coming out in 5 months.

But yeah, it's a joke who is in and who is not. I fucking hate Kiss, but I think if you have a rock and roll hall of fame those clowns deserve to be in it. Rush for sure.

If you look at who's in of those that have been eligible for several years or more, you can see where the bias lies, which is mostly against new wave, prog and hard rock. Although I strongly dislike some listed below and even question a few if they're worth a shit or not, almost all listed should be in when you balance this against who *already* is in, going by the HoF's own criteria:

Rush
Yes
The Cramps
The Damned
J Geils Band
Motorhead
KISS
E.L.P.
Thin Lizzy
Killing Joke
Sonic Youth
The Smiths
Depeche Mode
The Cure
Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Deep Purple
Chicago
Hall and Oates
Moody Blues
The Electric Light Orchestra
Cheap Trick
Bad Company
Peter Frampton
Heart
T-Rex
Public Enemy

Froosh said he'd feel awkward/uncomfortable and will not participate with the chilies either.

[lollapaloser]

Wow, the J Geils Band and T Rex are pretty glaring omissions. P.E.'s a good one too.

[thoreau]

Froosh said he'd feel awkward/uncomfortable and will not participate with the chilies either.

Yeah, I read that too. However, Jack Irons and Cliff Martinez will be participating, so three drummers should be interesting.

I heard a rumor Dave Navarro was in the Peppers for a brief period. Must've been bullshit, though, or you'd think we would've heard something.

[Matz]

would be interesting to know if they have invited him or not? If Martinez will be there Dave should definitely be there too
