I just saw this thing on fuse tv about metallica being in the Rock hall of fame this year…
just for shits and giggles who are some people you think are lacking placement? Run DMC is going in this year too so obviously it doesn’t have to be a rock band.
I’d say they should put kraftwerk in there.
and weird al. I mean think about it, there was and never will be another mainstream artist that will have a carreer of just making fun of the hits on the radio and mtv. (probably cause both are dead anyway)
Sex Pistols WERE nominated last year, but Rotten refused and told them to go fuck themselves, heh. Ministry probably will be nominated sometime, but in order to be nominated for that, don’t you still need to be ACTIVE? But good point, if you can get nominated for grammys, you might as well get hall of fame, but I dunno. Still waiting on The Cure and Depeche Mode…
RATM
Dead Kennedys (Jello Biafra)
Primus
Even Danzig should be in there for all four of his projects (Misfits, Samhain, Danzig and the new crap he calls Danzig from Danzig 5 on)
I’m obviously just picking bands/artists I like!
For my non “favorites” just achievement alone…
I’m sure Nirvana will end up in there if they are not there already, but aside from that…
Heather Nova ought to be in there just for her album
“Oyster” alone! beautiful album from start to finish!
Concrete Blonde has some great songs and a nice legacy as well! I absolutely adore Johnette’s live acoustic version of “Everybody knows” from 120 minutes for which somebody has graciously/ finally uploaded on to the tube…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axnCMV-on9Q
… speaking of “everybody knows” does anyone know if leonard cohen is in the hall yet?
The prospect of Ministry being inducted in the future sees very real for me, but it would be bittersweet. We all know it would be the last incarnation who would probably show up to accept the award, and not the members that helped build the legacy over the years. [:/] After all Reiflin was never in the band remember, and other people were just bass players.
Saddest and happiest moment of the R’n’R Hall of Fame for me? The Ramones…but no mention of Joey that I can remember from the other members.
The saddest moment in Rock n Roll Hall of Fame was in '93 with Creedence: Tom Fogerty’s widow brought his ashes to the ceremony and his son came along with the other members in hope of a reunion on stage. But John refused and had them all barred from the ceremony. I can only think he will regret that very much when his his light is going out.
But then again I don’t know all what went on between them.
Odd. But that would probably require the remaining members to play, and Gilmore’s made it pretty clear that he’s done with the whole thing. Aside from that ONE performance, we’ll likely never see Gilmoreand Waters even in the same room.
Pink Floyd will not play together again and will certainly never tour again. Many reasons why this is the case and they’ve been detailed before but the main one now is that Rick Wright died last year. He was closest to Gilmour. It is up to David if anything was to happen and he has made clear that it will never happen again. And he’s right, there’s no reason to. Waters wants to play again because he lost Pink Floyd in 1984, Mason holds no real influence and was always the most expendable of the lot.
I didn’t know Pink Floyd were not in the hall of fame, that is obviously bizarre considering they are probably the greatest band ever.
p.s. It would be terrible to see Ministry inducted now because, as already mentioned, there would be no Paul (or Chris, Bill, Rey, etc.) to be a part of it. It would be an insult to them and to ‘Ministry’.
If selected to the hall of fame it isnt up to the band who gets in and who doesnt, usually founding members get in and non founders who had a great impact on the band. That doesnt mean they will all get up and play together though.
The Sex Pistols refused to go to the induction ceremony but they are inducted into the hall and their brattish refusal was read by someone from Rolling Drone magazine.
In the Ramones induction Tommy Ramone stated that it would have meant everything to Joey.

Thanks for clarifying that, it has been awhile since I’ve seen the footage, and it would make sense that Tommy would say it. It just boggles my mind that Johnny and Joey would not even speak to each other all those years despite being onstage and on the same bus all the time.
ok ssay ministry does get in. Now we get a ministry exhibit at the rock and roll museum, besides the cage and the mic stand what exactly is there gonna be to look at? a wig and a pair of flip up eyeglasses? a short story about a spider bite?

were ministry to get into the hall of shame, the chicago cop hat al sported would be good, and maybe some leather, although al’s probably lost most of the crap he wore.
a series of paul elledge photos might make the cut. at least we know that guy’s sober for real.
how about the chunks of plastic that william burroughs shot to bits during their video shoot. each band member got one.
wonder if al’s still got his.
