Let me just say that when G&R first came out into the limelight ('88/'89) I hated them -(because they weren't metal). Then, in the 1990s I realized Axl was a prima donna bitch whose stage antics were dragging the band's touring presence down like a boat anchor. Then in the 2000s, I forgot about him alltogether. Then in the later 2000s, I thought he was just a weird **** paying all that money on plastic surgery to make him look like a deranged version of the Dutch Boy on paint cans.

That said, I'd give him credit for this as something totally rock and roll...










...except that the Sex Pistols already did it in 2006, and they did it a hell of a lot better than "Sha nah nah nah nah Swiss Miss" over here.

lol. That is all

Axl's a faggot. Who cares what he does. The current G N R is a total joke. I'd rather listen to 1,000 hippos fart in a bathtub than listen to Chinese Democracy.

**** that douchebag. But a "**** you" to Izzy Stradlin as well as hes also not attending according to Slash. What a couple of pricks. Cant be bothered to stand and be recognized with their fellow bandmates. I'm not one to demand anything from them as they dont really owe me anything. But to show up and say thank you to the fans for supporting them over the years would have been nice. The biggest "**** you" to the fans in the history of rock n roll. At least Slash, Duff, and Steven have enough respect for their fans to accept the award and give their thanks. Hope Myles and Gilby Clarke come to the HOF and play a few songs in place of "GNR" since those assholes cant be bother to give up 20 minutes on stage or even just say a few words at the podium. Will never buy an album or piece of merchandise associated with either of them ever again. Unless my original GNR stuff goes out of wack. But thats just to support the other 3.

In closing, **** YOU AXL and **** YOU IZZY you pricks!

diesect20022000

in fairness ego gets in the way of everyone. I kinda feel bad for Axl a lot of times but i feel bad for the rest of them too.....it's just music. make it, love it. live it. breath it.

still treat your bandmates like people. that WHOLE BAND is what made G'N'R not any ONE OF THEM seperately.



the thing V-man said was HILARIOUS though!

Are we treating the RRHOF as a serious and legitimate institution that reflects the wishes of music fans all over the world? I though it was a bunch of self-important, ultrahip critics and industry types who have no perception of reality. Madonna got in there before Rush, Kiss, and Deep Purple for ****'s sake!

I hate the bullshit politics of any organization or group like the RRHOF. It should be about the fans. That said, GNR was awesome and deserve to be there, and if they can't get along to even show up at the same place to get an 'award' that very few people even have a chance at... **** Them!

There are a lot of Slash haters here (I'm not one of them), but you have to agree, he isn't even close to the same kind of douche bag that is Axl.

I can't wait to hear the whole album with Myles.

HeHasTheJazzHands

Who needs Axl? They're doing damn fine on their own.

As shown above, Slash's stuff is awesome.

Contrary to popular belief, Adler's stuff is awesome.


Hell, even Duff's stuff sounds pretty damn good.


I even like Izzy's stuff, too.


And what does Axl give us?


And I'm using the best song from C.D. Thats the ONLY decent song on there, IMO.

diesect20022000

godayum those rhythms in Chinese are BORING and flat!

way to overproduce some good guitarists!


yeah that was......very radio friendly and commercial

Years ago I had heard about GNR, then saw them. All I could think of is "Why is that guy dancing like Davy Jones...and how could he think that screeching voice would sound good". I didn't think they would go anywhere...and I was obviously wrong. You never know what will become popular.

I wanted to like GnR but Axl always ruined it for me...I can't stand his whiney ass voice! Sorry, I change the station immediatley if I hear a GnR song!

Ride4Life

It's obvious that they were as popular as any band could get but so is Katy Perry.

Musically if they got rid of Axl before they hit it big they could have sounded 10 times better. What a douche.

Some other famous non-attendees to the HoF, Sex Pistols is probably my favourite:

Diana Ross, 1988
The original lineup of the Supremes has been feuding ever since 1967, when the group changed its name to Diana Ross & the Supremes. Ross, Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong last performed together in March of 1983 at the Motown 25th anniversary concert. In 1986, Mary Wilson published her memoir, Dreamgirls: My Life As A Supreme, which painted a very negative portrait of Ross. The Supremes were inducted two years later into the Hall of Fame, and Ross was a no-show. She claimed it was because she had given birth to her son Ross three months earlier, but many speculated that the feud between Ross and the other members played a role.

Paul McCartney, 1988
Relations between the surviving Beatles were also strained in 1988. Four years earlier, Yoko Ono, George Harrison and Ringo Starr started a royalty dispute with Paul McCartney, who opted to not attend the 1988 ceremony. In perhaps the most notorious speech in Hall of Fame history, Mike Love addressed McCartney's absence that night when the Beach Boys were inducted. "It's sad that there are other people who aren't here tonight," he said. "People like Paul McCartney who couldn't be here because he's in a lawsuit with Ringo and Yoko. That's why he sent in a telegram to some high-priced attorney in the room."

Van Morrison, 1993
The induction ceremony in 1993 boasted reunions of the Doors and Cream, as well as a surprising appearance by the extremely reclusive Sly Stone. The three surviving members of Creedence Clearwater Revival showed up, but John Fogerty caused major drama when he refused to perform with them. Van Morrison didn't show, so the Counting Crows performed "Caravan" in his absence. This was months before they released their debut LP, August and Everything After, so the induction ceremony was where many critics and fans first learned of them.

Jerry Garcia, 1994
The Grateful Dead frontman didn't show up at his induction, reportedly because he was opposed to the whole idea of a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The rest of the Dead disagreed, and they brought a cardboard cut-out of the singer onstage.

Levon Helm, 1994
The 1994 ceremony was full of no-shows. Levon Helm didn't attend the Band's induction due to lingering bitterness towards Robbie Robertson. Rick Danko, Garth Hudson and Robbie Robertson did show up, though, and they performed "The Weight" together. It's the only time Robertson has performed with his former bandmates since The Last Waltz.

Eric Burdon, 1994
Animals frontman Eric Burdon didn't come to his own induction in 1994 because he had a gig booked in Dusseldorf, Germany. He made up for it in 2010, when he performed "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" at the ceremony to honor songwriting team Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil.

Rod Stewart, 1994
Two days before the 1994 Hall of Fame inductions, a massive earthquake hit Los Angeles. "Two of my children, Renee and Liam, they were just one and three, they were just terrified," Steward told Rolling Stone in December. "Absolutely terrified. I just couldn't leave them, so I missed it. But I'll be there this time!"

David Bowie, 1996
David Bowie was in Helsinki, Finland, touring in support of Outside when he entered the Hall of Fame in 1996. Madonna accepted on his behalf, and Marianne Faithful performed "Rebel Rebel."

Roger Waters, 1996
Roger Waters and Pink Floyd weren't getting along very well in 1996. Two years earlier, the group went on a enormous stadium tour sans Waters and grossed hundreds of millions of dollars. They invited Waters to join them for a performance of Dark Side of the Moon in England towards the end of the tour, but he declined. Waters was still fuming over the fact that the band carried on without him, while his 1987 Radio K.A.O.S. tour played to half-full arenas. They patched things up a few years later – in part because Gilmour had quietly disbanded Floyd by that point – but in 1996, Waters had no interest in sitting in the same ballroom as the rest of Pink Floyd.

Grace Slick, 1996
The Jefferson Airplane frontwoman has a firm belief that "all rock-and-rollers over the age of 50 look stupid and should retire." She briefly toured with a reunited Jefferson Airplane in 1989, but ever since has basically stayed away from the stage. The rest of the Airplane did show up for their induction and played a great set.

Neil Young, 1997
Reports vary about why exactly Neil Young didn't show up and reunite with Buffalo Springfield at their 1997 induction, but the most likely explanation is that he was fuming over the fact that his bandmates had to shell out big bucks to get their friends and family into the ceremony. Thirteen years later, Young did agree to a Buffalo Springfield reunion, but by that point original members Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin had died.

Joni Mitchell, 1997
In 1965, a 21-year-old Joni Mitchell gave up a daughter for adoption. Shortly before her 1997 induction into the Hall of Fame, the mother and daughter had a highly emotional reunion and Mitchell skipped the Cleveland ceremony to focus on re-establishing a relationship with her child. Graham Nash accepted on her behalf.

John Deacon, 2001
The Queen bassist largely retired from music when Freddy Mercury died in 1991. He did join his bandmates at a Mercury tribute show in 1992 and again to perform with Elton John in 1997, but since then he's been completely off the radar. He refused to participate in Queen's tour with Paul Rodgers, and he didn't show up at the Hall of Fame induction in 2001.

The Sex Pistols, 2006
The punk band's open letter said it all: "Next to the SEX-PISTOLS rock and roll and that hall of fame is a piss stain. Your museum. Urine in wine. Were not coming. Were not your monkey and so what? Fame at $25,000 if we paid for a table, or $15000 to squeak up in the gallery, goes to a non-profit organisation [SIC] selling us a load of old famous. Congradulations [SIC]. If you voted for us, hope you noted your reasons. Your anonymous as judges, but your still music industry people. Were not coming. Your not paying attention. Outside the shit-stem is a real SEX PISTOL."

Eddie Van Halen, Alex Van Halen, David Lee Roth, 2007
Van Halen's 2007 induction into the Hall of Fame came at a very bad time for the group. Bassist Michael Anthony was just kicked out of the band, and they were plotting a reunion tour with David Lee Roth – but that couldn't start until Eddie Van Halen went to rehab. There was simply too much drama, and no member of the current Van Halen lineup showed up. Roth was in talks to come, but he wasn't happy that Velvet Revolver were going to perform. In the end, only Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony showed up.

Peter Gabriel, 2010
Genesis fans have been praying for a reunion of the classic Peter Gabriel lineup for the past 30 years. They didn't get it when the group was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2010. Gabriel was in rehearsals for an upcoming symphonic tour in England and didn't make the trip overseas. The rest of the band went and watched Phish perform "Watcher of the Skies" and "No Reply at All."

Bjorn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Fältskog, 2010
ABBA have reportedly turned down a billion-dollar offer for a reunion tour, so it was no surprise that they didn't all show up to their Hall of Fame induction. Agnetha Fältskog rarely leaves her native Stockholm, and Bjorn Ulvaeus has dealt with health issues in recent years. The Bee Gees inducted ABBA into the Hall of Fame, and Benny Anderson performed "The Winner Takes It All" with Faith Hill.

Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliott, 2010
The classic lineup of the Hollies hasn't toured in decades, but original members Tony Hicks and Bobby Elliott have carried on the band's name with new members. They had a gig in Europe at the same time as their 2010 HOF induction and opted not to cancel. Founding members Graham Nash and Allan Clarke played a few Hollies classics with Paul Shaffer and his band, and latter members Terry Sylvester burst onto the stage uninvited to join them on "Long Cool Woman."

Way cool post! Good job sir! I had the pleasure of speaking with Steve Jones of TSPs on the phone for about a good 20 minutes years ago when he was on a radio station called Indie 103.1 What a classy guy he is! He actually had me hold while he went and announced and put on another tune, then he came back and chatted with me for a few more minutes. The dude is totally down to earth and for real! He's on another station now. The show he had on Indie was totally bitchen.' He would have guest on his show do acoustic jams live on the air with him. They did an incredible session one day with some cats from the MC5! It was jamming!

I was always of the opinion that Axl Rose was a douche bag ever since I was first made aware of G'n'R back in the day Slash and the rest of the boys were an Ok band but hyped to hell and no way as great as people made out!
Just my opinion that's all
BTW anybody who isn't Scottish and wears a kilt is just wearing a skirt! and GAY as fook LOL

Matt Sorum, Steven Adler, Duff and Slash were the only ones there. At least we had them and not those other assholes.

aaah, feeling the love

With all respect to the GNR band members, but it was the Slash/Axl combination that was GNR. You could take out any member whit GNR still staying GNR, but you could not take out Slash and not Axl.

It's like the Rolling Stones, it's Mick and Keith. Take one out and it's not the Rolling Stones anymore.
