Now it's really official: GNR have been chosen for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

The way I'm reading it is that the initial inducted line-up gets voted, then it is up to THAT line-up to choose who else gets in. So, it would be up to the AFD line-up + Matt & Dizzy to decided if any other members should be inducted alongside them. The same thing with Metallica. It was probably James, Kirk, Lars, Cliff, and Jason and then they decided that they wanted Rob inducted too.

I think it's confirmed, but if I'm reading this right there is perhaps the chance for additions based on who the band feels is worthy. So, who are the group to decide this? The current band, or the guys the hall selected? Well, it's pretty obvious who should get that right.

EDIT: What Paul Stanley said.

I guess Gilby, Teddy, and Tracey and Roberta (lol) still have a chance! So do the new guys. Can't see the old (aside from Axl) okaying that though. Hopefully Axl doesn't push the matter, understanding that this induction is meant for the old band.

I'm happy with who's in right now and think that no one else should be added.

Makes sense. So in that case it will be 5 vs 2 for inducting anyone nu. So that won't happen.

I think its just Axl, Steven, Izzy, Slash and Duff. At least from what I've been reading.

Josh is not getting inducted for RHCP. Rightfully so, he hasn't fucking earned it. They should strip Rob of his induction. He can probably quit the business and do piss and shit porn and still be in the rock and roll hall of fame. They will induct Jack Irons and Slovak. Fuck Dave Navarro.

No. Matt and Dizzy have been confirmed to be in too.

Source?

It was confirmed a few days ago on twitter. I know it was posted a few times in this thread.

Fuck twitter. I want a real source.

Anyway I will say Matt and Dizzy deserve it because Use Your Illusion I and II sold relatively well compared to the shit that was huge at the time.

They cited the source from where they got the info in the tweet.

From the current lineup, Rose and Reed are the only members headed into the Rock Hall. Inducted alongside them will be ex-bandmates Slash, Izzy Stradlin, Duff McKagan, Steven Adler and Matt Sorum -- i.e., musicians from the group’s heyday in the late ’80s and early ’90s.

Hahahaha...official rules....

These people are like the MPAA...they're a closed club that do whatever the fuck they want behind their own doors. You might hear some bullshit the way the MPAA supposedly "allows one use of the word fuck in a PG-13 movie," but then you'll realize that there's a shitload of exceptions to it and that it's not a real rule.

Good comparison. The rules always seem to get bent in favor of one thing or another. I don't think we'll know anything solid until much closer to the date.

Is there any contact info for the RRHOF that maybe we can email and get the official rules for inducted bands with numerous lineup changes?

If anyone has Sirius/XM, Eddie Trunk's interviewing the RRHOF CEO next Monday, and will ask that question.

From what I've read, it's going to be up to Axl. They leave it up to the band or someone on their behalf that handles the estate, which are usually family members. Mustaine being left out of Metallica's induction was decided by Lars and James, not by the Rock Hall. A lot of people thought it was fucked up, Mustaine just said he'd rather be inducted if and when Megadeth is in, and knew this was typical of Lars and James to diminish his role in the band history. And then Lars invites him to the induction dinner! He was happier that he reconnected with them than anything to do with that. They've made their peace, but there will always be some tension and rivalry between them.

that Izzy finally gets recognized for his more than substantial contributions.

Nighttrain

Patience

Don't Cry

YCBM

Brownstone

thats really the end of the argument right there. When they needed a new album and hit he gave us patience. when the band was ready to release the UYI albums we got YCBM.

I won't even get started on Dont cry.

YCBM was an Appetite outtake last I checked....

So was November Rain,and Bad obsession was written before Brownstone.

Axl has to show up. How can he not? Why give all the other guys the glory? He deserves it just as much as the others and it reflects bad on him if he doesn't. I mean he's the leader of the band, owns the name and has been touring with the name for 10 years. It would be so boring and predictable if Axl got someone to read out a statement or record a video message. I hope he doesn't run and hide on the night. It would create shock and excitement if he did show up, take the stage to accept the award and maybe frighten Slash a little haha! Axl needs to show of that unpredictability he used to have.

Was anyone able to get tickets? I went on to get them right at 10 for the member presale yesterday, brought up tickets and then lost them due to a system error, couldn't pull any more up yesterday or today... :(

I called right at 10am est and had the online site up and all I got was a busy signal and "no tickets available" online immediately. Damn.
