Lammycat Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 The R&R HoF board consists of Jann Wenner and a small handful of his cronies, iirc. It's a closed panel and I'd imagine there's not tons of analytical thought that goes into the decisions. Maybe I'm wrong on that but either way the decisions are apparently based on what this small group deems worthy. Grain of salt, and all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I'm way biased I admit. I don't trust anybody musically who does not like the Beatles and I don't trust any guitarist who does not like Jeff Beck. I think the Hall of Fame should take into account incredible musicians who may not be popular outside of certain circles. Jeff Beck did not really have the commercial appeal but it would be ridiculous to not put him in the hall. There is nobody that sounds like him and his influence is huge. Ask most people who James Jamerson is and you will probably get a blank stare, but clearly he belongs in the hall. Personally I think Guns and Roses is way over rated and did not do enough to get in. Does anybody even listen to them anymore? When is the last time you threw on a guns and roses CD? Maybe I'm way off base because I never liked them. I think Cheap Trick had more influence and a stronger body of work. Either way, Lammy is correct, it's kind of a joke with a small group of people deciding what gets in. It's always hard to be objective about music and art, that's why they should let VC folk pick. How can you not let the Replacements in? Anyways, Jeff Beck belongs in any rock and roll hall of fame regardless of criteria. And his double play statistics were good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Metallica have often cited Rush as one of their influences and even thanked the band in the liner notes to their 1986 album Master of Puppets. Now it's singer/guitarist James Hetfield's turn to give Rush some love. In a recent Reuters interview Hetfield had the following to say regarding the band's induction: ... Hetfield expressed some embarrassment at being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame before some acts who were an inspiration for Metallica. Metallica will be made a member of the illustrious club on April 4. "We've been nominated and we are still alive," he said. "It's ironic that a band that has been inspired by all of these other ones are getting in there before them. We are going to go up there and kick some ass and kick the door down for some heavy bands that have not been recognized, like Rush and Kiss." ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Central Scrutinizer Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 For me - that would be Yes, Rush, Kiss, and Moby Grape - among others.Cheap Trick? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Cheap Trick? Not a band I listen to, but yes, I think they should be in there. For one thing, there is the longevity issue, number two, they have their own sound and style going on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I don't think they are worthy either, but to accurately represent the 1980's unfortunately they have to be considered. How about: Tommy Bolin? --- NOJoe Walsh? --- MaybeRitchie Blackmore? --- only as a member of Deep PurpleRry Gallagher? --- I would say yes...however; he is, at best, a cult artistScorpions? --- Not before Deep Purple or Judas PriestDire Striats? --- A real problem...I say let em in Alejandro Escovedo? --- As much as I love Alex's music...I don't see him the the RnRHOFLos Lobos? --- See Above BTW Motorhead would be a great choice. --- For all the bands they inspired if nothing else By the way...is Roy Buchannan in?

Analogman Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 This is a good deal: Metallica Reuniting 'Black Album' Band For Hall Of Fame Showe Bassist Jason Newsted returns to Metallica this weekendMarch 31, 2009 08:12 AM ETGary Graff, Detroit Nobody's more surprised that Jason Newsted will be playing again with Metallica this weekend than...Jason Newsted. Newsted was the Metallica bassist from 1986, when he replaced the late Cliff Burton, until he left the group in 2001. He tells Billboard.com that he had modest expectations for his role in the group's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction on Saturday in Cleveland. "I just planned on going, looking good in my suit, hanging out with my family, going up and getting the award, making a nice speech...," he says. Then, last Thursday, he got a call from drummer Lars Ulrich that changed things. "He said, 'We want you to rock with us,' " Newsted recalls. Ulrich told him that Robert Trujillo, Metallica's current bassist "'is not gonna play at all. we want you to play.' And my first question was, 'How's Robert with that? How does he feel about that? I don't want to create any kind of negative anything. I want this all to be proper.' "(Ulrich) said, 'No, he's with it, man. He wants to be there as a fan, too, and wants to see the 'black' album (1991's 'Metallica') band'...It's all good. Everybody's agreed to it. Let's rock!' 'OK. Let's rock.' " Prior to the Ulrich's call, however, Newsted says he had no qualms with the current version of Metallica playing at the ceremony. "I felt strongly they should go as that band and represent Metallica," Newsted explains, "because they're strong right now, together. Those four guys in Metallica are out there knocking the shit down, standing tall, able, prowess, chops are in order...There aren't many times the Hall of Fame can induct a band that's fully capable like that." Newsted is shipping in the amplifier rig he used during his tenure in Metallica, as well as the Sadowski five-string bass that he notes "has played more songs for Metallica than any other bass instrument in the world." The group plans a sound check/rehearsal for Friday night, then will play "something old (and) something new" on Saturday -- though both songs will be from Newsted's tenure with the band. "One louder than the next -- that's all I know," he says with a laugh. Newsted has a full compliment of family members coming to the Hall of Fame ceremony, and he's also looking forward to "just an unbelievable family reunion" with past band, business and media associates who Metallica is flying in for the event. "It's just a major celebration for us," says Newsted, who produced and played on the upcoming Voivod album, "Infini," which is due out in June. "I'm freakin' over the moon, man. It's another...well, the biggest feather in the cap so far, I guess. The Grammys are feathers all around the cap, but this one will be a little bigger, I have a feeling."

Seriously, you can pooh-pooh the HOF all you want, but it is a very worthwhile tourist trap. I went a few years ago, while they had a whole floor devoted to Dylan's early days and influences. Great videos and films, including a 40-minute tribute to all the inductee -- most of the films are shown Woodstock-fashion with 3 screens. i had to be dragged out by my kids at the end of the day.
