Well, the Beastie Boys are more rock n' roll than the Red Hot Chili Peppers will ever be so...

Yes because we all know rap is more rock than rock is rock. Totally agree.

Didn't uncle Axl teach us the other day through FB that Rock N' Roll is an attitude?

Their attitude, their musicianship ( besides their rapping skills, they are great funk and hardcore punk musicians ), the fact that they always stuck to their roots ( still sound like 80's hip hop ), their live shows...

Besides, I've never heard anything about them that is so pathetic as the RHCP refusing to play at a festival if MrBungle are on the same bill...

There is a "rock n roll" attitude but that has nothing to do with "rock n roll" as a genre of music. You can have a rock n roll attitude and be a rap star but that doesn't mean you're in a rock n roll band.

Anthony has had a beef with Patton for years ever since Patton did a bad Kiedis impersonation on the 'Epic' video. What's so pathetic about that? ppl here wouldn't blink twice if Axl refused to share a bill with Vince Neil or the Poison guys...

Jann Wenner and a few other RRHOF members said that popularity ties into who makes it in. Axl's been on the RS cover 4 times, so if it's up to Wenner who gets in and who doesn't...

I also read he wanted to shorten the process to 20 years, which would've meant Nirvana and all the 90s rock bands would've made it in over Rush and KISS. I'm pretty sure part of why Gene did Family Jewels was to get his name in the mainstream so he could get inducted for stuff like this. He pretty much said he doesn't care about it as much as he does about the fans, because KISS was usually bashed by the critics through their career.

Elton John and Elvis Costello talked about Laura Nyro's importance. Put it this way, it influenced "Tumbleweed Connection", which I think is one of Axl's favorite albums by Elton, and her songs have been covered by a bunch of people. I don't consider her really rock music, at least has some "rock" songs in her back catalog, but she predates Joni and a bunch of female singer-songwriters. They try to put one singer-songwriter in, even though someone like Leonard Cohen is more of a folk/jazz singer. Dude did a 3 hour show in his 70s, and had no problem singing songs from 40 years ago. It's also good to see Neil Young out there sounding the same. Tom Waits gets older and his gruff voice fits the songs even better now.

If Cure make it in, it opens the door to the post punk bands. The ones who are influential on those bands will prob. be overlooked though. I'm kind of surprised the critics aren't pushing for Alex Chilton to be in the Rock Hall, whether as Big Star or as a solo act. And you never see Todd Rundgren in the running, even as a producer, should be in there. Nothing about Gram Parsons even though he's part of the Stones family and pioneered country rock as did Mike Nesmith & Lee Hazlewood.

I doubt Kiedis has any real beef with Mike Patton over a song from 20 years ago. I'm sure it annoyed the band back then because fans thought it was a RHCP song.

Steely Dan joked about bands that tried to sound like them, and said they were going to do an album of covers over songs that people thought Steely Dan recorded. Rod Stewart of course sang "It's a Heartache".

moreblack, cmon surely you see that as crap. Simply one guy abusing his power as the more famous guy when he in reality hes known as the untalented guy in his band and could only wish for 1/5 x fuck all of Patton's talent.

It's a good thing you don't have a biased opinion.

But yes. I'm sure Anthony is sitting at home depressed, feeling like he will never be as good as Patton. Just wishing he could trade his career for Pattons.

Patton and FNM imitated GNR on Everythings Ruined video. big Jim is Slash, roddy is Duff, Patton is Axl.

Patton would definitely think hall of fame is joke. It's weird though cos his early influences were Elton John and ELO. He was actually quite the disco dancer in his day.

There was another band that did a similar thing.

It was a late 80's (early 90's??) metal band.

I can't for the life of me remember who it was.

Anyhoo..

In the video..they set the beginning of it up the same as the SCOM video.

The guitarist has a Slash wig and top hat on,and he plugs in his guitar...someone walks up and smacks the hat off his head (can't recall if a comment is made).

Then they break into their own song.

I've been searching youtube for a clue...so far can't find it.
