Title: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: Chiprocks1 on December 08, 2011, 07:50:41 pm
2012 Inductees In The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame (http://www.vh1.com/music/tuner/2011-12-07/guns-n-roses-red-hot-chili-peppers-and-beastie-boys-lead-the-list-of-inductees-in-the-rock-n-roll-hall-of-fame/)


Well, with Guns 'N Roses leading the way into the 2012 Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame class, it's now countdown time for who will and will not show up to accept the honor of enshrinement. For GNR fans like myself, this is a very intriguing bit drama that's about to unfold. Axl Rose has reconnected with both Duff Mckagen and Izzy Stradlin, but is still on the outs with Slash.

My guess is that the original lineup including Steven Adler along with replacement drummer Matt Sorum will be there. And I'm pretty sure that Axl will try to push the new version of GNR as the band that he wants accepting along with him. If that is the case, those new guys absolutely better not get up on stage and accept the award as if they had a hand in creating the monster masterpiece that is Appetite For Destruction. Hey, stranger things have happened.

But then again, Axl could pull off the biggest surprise ever by reuniting with the original guys for the customary HOF performance and THIS is why everyone will be following from here on out as it leads up to induction day.

The Hall Of Shame is irrelevant to me. I could care less about that so-called institution. This is all about GNR getting back together for one performance and if this is the only way to make it happen, then so be it.

Would you appreciate it even if you knew it was an empty performance?

They may get up and play, but behind each breath, say **** you and the Harley that you rode on.

I think about the Van Halen episode years ago. Yea, it was great to see them up there, but it was all fake.

If they performed together, I don't think it would be fake in anyway. Axl , Slash and the rest of the gang wouldn't do it for ratings or for the board or even for the fans. They would only do it if they had mended fences which then opens up the possibility of them getting back together on a larger scale. See what is happening here? Just the simple fact of them getting into the HOF has got me talking like this. (http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i266/Chiprocks1/Smilies/0%20All%20Smilies/new_tongue.gif)

As for Van Halen, they never performed. I get that you're referring to Sammy and Mike. Ironically enough it was Velvet Revolver with Slash that had to fill in because David Lee Roth was b*tching and moaning about what songs they were going to play.

Kiss on Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: ‘We’ll Just Buy It and Fire Everybody’

Quote



Ted Nugent once said he wanted to buy Muzak for $10 million in order to shut it down, since it represented everything “uncool” about music. Now, Kiss bassist Gene Simmons has similar feelings towards the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The band has been eligible for induction into the music institution since 1999, but they’ve yet to be voted in. You can bet that Simmons’ feathers are ruffled by their continued exclusion from the HOF.

At Tuesday’s (March 20) press conference in Los Angeles announcing the epic co-headlining tour that Kiss will embark upon with Motley Crue, Simmons addressed the fact that they’ve been dissed by the Hall for 13 years.

“It’s become a joke,” he told Rolling Stone. “We’ve been thinking about it and the answer is simply, ‘We’ll just buy it and fire everybody.’”

Purchase, re-staff and rename it the Kiss Hall of Fame? Sounds like a Kourse of action.

Despite the joke, Simmons changed his tone immediately, saying, “In all seriousness for the fans, for something to be called Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is such an insult to Madonna, Blondie and Tone Loc. Who the f— knows what other disco act is in there? It’s an insult to them because they don’t get to be in the ‘Dance Hall of Fame,’ because that’s what they do. They’re legitimate dance, disco artists. They don’t belong in rock and roll.”

While the Demon has a point there, we don’t think Madonna is feeling bad about her election to the Hall, since it is, after all, an honor. And Tone Loc is not a member of the Hall of Fame, actually.

His bandmate Paul Stanley (who was probably actually the one wearing feathers during the conversation) concurred, saying, “The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has reached a point where they’re really scrounging and scratching to find someone left that they consider viable.” He continued, “With all due respect, when you get to Patti Smith you’re about two steps away from Pete Seeger.”

We think that Gene, Paul and Kiss have a legitimate gripe. But it does sound a bit like sour grapes. They won’t be the Susan Lucci of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame forever. We are confident they will eventually get in and it’ll have been worth the wait, boys.

I won't hop on Eddy Trunks band wagon and spit hate at the RARHOF.....it's like any award...they are all rigged and only address a certain clique.

if anything Trunk should create the Rock Legends Shrine....and be done with it.

he's a jack ass though...so don't expect him to do anything but complain.

Sharon Osbourne would actually get the thing done and made...and I wouldn't be surprised if her, or someone like Gene Simmons (and Paul of course) some day create a REAL alternative.
and you'll say you read it here first.

As much as she annoys me, she probably would get it done and I would applaud her for it. First inductee of course would be Ozzy and I wouldn't object to that.

As for the upcoming HOF ceremony, I hope Slash get's up there and addresses the peeps in attendance and calls them out much in the way James Hetfield did. A lot of good that did, huh?

Guns N' Roses to Reunite at Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Induction?

I could care less. Never been a fan of G n' R. Besides, there are plenty of fish in the sea that could take his, uh, their place.

Axl Rose NOT Attending Guns N Roses Hall Of Fame Induction: Asks To Be Retracted

In what is actually quite the shocking move, Guns N Roses singer Axl Rose has released an open letter stating that not only will he NOT attend the GnR induction into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, but he is also asking that the nomination be retracted! It’s a surprisingly well-thought out letter, although it suffers from a horrible case of run-on sentences, and Axl definitely gets his point across.


“To: The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Guns N’ Roses Fans and Whom It May Concern,

When the nominations for the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame were first announced I had mixed emotions but, in an effort to be positive, wanting to make the most of things for the fans and with their enthusiasm, I was honored, excited and hoped that somehow this would be a good thing. Of course I realized as things stood, if Guns N’ Roses were to be inducted it’d be somewhat of a complicated or awkward situation.

Since then we’ve listened to fans, talked with members of the board of the Hall Of Fame, communicated with and read various public comments and jabs from former members of Guns N’ Roses, had discussions with the president of the Hall Of Fame, read various press (some legit, some contrived) and read other artists’ comments weighing in publicly on Guns and the Hall with their thoughts.

Under the circumstances I feel we’ve been polite, courteous, and open to an amicable solution in our efforts to work something out. Taking into consideration the history of Guns N’ Roses, those who plan to attend along with those the Hall for reasons of their own, have chosen to include in “our” induction (that for the record are decisions I don’t agree with, support or feel the Hall has any right to make), and how (albeit no easy task) those involved with the Hall have handled things… no offense meant to anyone but the Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony doesn’t appear to be somewhere I’m actually wanted or respected.

For the record, I would not begrudge anyone from Guns their accomplishments or recognition for such. Neither I or anyone in my camp has made any requests or demands of the Hall Of Fame. It’s their show not mine.

That said, I won’t be attending The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction 2012 Ceremony and I respectfully decline my induction as a member of Guns N’ Roses to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

I strongly request that I not be inducted in absentia and please know that no one is authorized nor may anyone be permitted to accept any induction for me or speak on my behalf. Neither former members, label representatives nor the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame should imply whether directly, indirectly or by omission that I am included in any purported induction of “Guns N’ Roses”.

This decision is personal. This letter is to help clarify things from my and my camp’s perspective. Neither is meant to offend, attack or condemn. Though unfortunately I’m sure there will be those who take offense (God knows how long I’ll have to contend with the fallout), I certainly don’t intend to disappoint anyone, especially the fans, with this decision. Since the announcement of the nomination we’ve actively sought out a solution to what, with all things considered, appears to be a no win, at least for me, “damned if I do, damned if I don’t” scenario all the way around.

In regard to a reunion of any kind of either the Appetite or Illusion lineups, I’ve publicly made myself more than clear. Nothing’s changed.
The only reason, at this point, under the circumstances, in my opinion whether under the guise of “for the fans” or whatever justification of the moment, for anyone to continue to ask, suggest or demand a reunion are misguided attempts to distract from our efforts with our current lineup of myself, Dizzy Reed, Tommy Stinson, Frank Ferrer, Richard Fortus, Chris Pitman, Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal and DJ Ashba.

Izzy came out with us a few times back in ’06 and I invited him to join us at our LA Forum show last year. Steven was at our show at the Hard Rock, later in ’06 in Las Vegas, where I invited him to our after-party and was rewarded with his subsequent interviews filled with reunion lies. Lesson learned. Duff joined us in 2010 and again in ’11 along with his band, Loaded, opening in Seattle and Vancouver. For me, with the exception of Izzy or Duff joining us on stage if they were so inclined somewhere in the future for a song or two, that’s enough.

There’s a seemingly endless amount of revisionism and fantasies out there for the sake of self-promotion and business opportunities masking the actual realities. Until every single one of those generating from or originating with the earlier lineups has been brought out in the light, there isn’t room to consider a conversation let alone a reunion.

Maybe if it were you it’d be different. Maybe you’d do it for this reason or that. Peace, whatever. I love our band now. We’re there for each other when the going get’s rough. We love our fans and work to give them every ounce of energy and heart we can.

So let sleeping dogs lie or lying dogs sleep or whatever. Time to move on. People get divorced. Life doesn’t owe you your own personal happy ending especially at another’s, or in this case several others’, expense.

But hey if ya gotta then maybe we can get the “no show, grandstanding, publicity stunt, disrespectful, he doesn’t care about the fans” crap out of the way as quickly as we can and let’s move on. No one’s taking the ball and going home. Don’t get it twisted. For more than a decade and a half we’ve endured the double standards, the greed of this industry and the ever present seemingly limitless supply of wannabes and unscrupulous, irresponsible media types. Not to imply anything in this particular circumstance, but from my perspective in regard to both the Hall and a reunion, the ball’s never been in our court.

In closing, regardless of this decision and as hard to believe or as ironic as it may seem, I’d like to sincerely thank the board for their nomination and their votes for Guns’ induction. More importantly I’d like to thank the fans for being there over the years, making any success we’ve had possible and for enjoying and supporting Guns N’ Roses music.

I wish the Hall a great show, congratulations to all the other artists being inducted and to our fans we look forward to seeing you on tour!!
Sincerely,
Axl Rose
P.S. RIP Armand, Long Live ABC III”

F u c k !!

I get that Axl wants to protect his current lineup, but lets be real here. He thinks his current band is successful. It's not. GNR tours extensively in Brazil, who have rabid fans not just for GNR, but a lot of other bands as well. And I think that this is misguiding Axl into believing that the fans are okay with the 2012 roster as oppose to the classic Appetite For Destruction Lineup. He thinks he is being magnanimous with his current band when in fact he is very delusional about it all and it is HE that is rewriting history, not the other way around.

Having said that, I wouldn't be surprise at all for Axl to show up "unannounced" to accept his award and do a song or two with whoever else shows up and that his response to why the sudden "change of heart" when he says that "he got the blessing from his current band and that he couldn't move on until he did this....." Or something like that.

*Sigh*

Post by: boyinblack80 on April 12, 2012, 11:47:03 am
he's so stubborn.    I just think he's very much at the mercy of impulse and I mean he's probably stewed on this for months now....so it's not a rash decision I think in the end....but he for whatever reason has a HUGE aversion to either the guys in the band. what that band or that part of his past means to him....and he's not going back.

clearly there's a LOT going on in the guys head....with Chinese Democracy taking so long...I mean he carries the weight of the world on his shoulders sometimes...he's very wealthy and playing huge shows...he's probably close to 50 and just doesn't give a **** about Slash....so he's like.

NOPE.

sucks but in a very abstract way I do understand as an artist why he refuses to go backwards.

He really doesn't need to regardless of the "success" of some past thing he's done.  He can still play for 100,000 Brazilians in 2012....so what does he care...it's not like he's relegated to play to 200 people at some ****ty club across the US night after night/

so the legacy of what he's does remains intact...regardless of if he's in the Rock and Roll "hall of fame" or not.

in fact....Have you, or do you know anyone who's ever been to the RARHF?  I was in the city and didn't even go...(years back)

I think the reality is...having a leather jacket or bandanna at a Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas probably gets just as much nostalgia and exposure.

He's a TRUE Rock and Roll rebel....you tell him to go right, he'll go left./

The first record wasn't called Appetite for Destruction for nothing.

and lets see...Slash's solo album was called.....oh yeah Slash.

he digs deep.

Chinese Democracy meaning...One.

I mean look you can't change a tiger's stripes kid.

you have to respect Axl is the real deal....past all his contemporaries...he's stayed true to himself.

I can already hear Eddie Trunk's opinion on Axl refusing to show up.

Eddie: Finally, somebody got it right and told the Hall of Shame to go  f u c k  themselves! It's not an institution worth belonging too anyway. How can you take any organization seriously when UFO (points to Tee Shirt) isn't even a member?!

Post by: boyinblack80 on April 12, 2012, 01:02:55 pm
who cares about the Rock and Roll hall of fame...and I don't mean that in an Eddie Trunk kind of way...but Axl being pushed any direction to reunite with G N R on anything but his own terms is totally out of character for him.

someone be it a record label or something like an institution "honoring" your past accomplishments is clearly not what W. Axl Rose got into Rock and Roll for.

He got in to Rock and Roll to tell organized society F*U*C*K YOU.

and he's stuck with that mindset...and if you burn him or tell him different...you immediately fall into the **** off category in his mind...and he rarely back pedals..

and so he did say another big **** You...to not only the people in G n R and their old label...but to any outside pressure to go back to a relationship he clearly has no interest in re-visiting.

if he wasn't this guy today...he probably never would have been the man we all admired 25 years back/

Rock Hall of Fame nominees include Rush, Public Enemy, Joan Jett, more

(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/46/Rush-in-concert.jpg)

Quote
The nominations for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's Class of 2013 are in. This year's hopefuls are Albert King, Chic, Deep Purple, Donna Summer, Heart, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Kraftwerk, the Marvelettes, the Meters, N.W.A., Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Procul Harum, Public Enemy, Randy Newman and Rush. The top vote-getters will be inducted on April 18 at the Nokia Theater L.A. live in Los Angeles.

For the first time, the public gets to vote alongside the artists, historians and music industry insiders of the Rock Hall voting body. From now until Dec. 5, fans can vote on RollingStone.com for the nominees they'd like to see inducted. The top five acts will comprise a "fan's ballot" that will count as one of the more than 600 ballots that determine the Class of 2013. The results will be announced in mid-December.

"The definition of 'rock & roll' means different things to different people, but as broad as the classifications may be, they all share a common love of the music," commented Joel Peresman, president and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. "This year we again proudly put forth a fantastic array of groups and artists that span the entire genre that is 'rock & roll.'"

You know, allowing the Public to vote is going to cripple the institution even more. Why? Because Justin Beiber is gonna get in before KISS. The RARHOF really doesn't have a choice but to let the public vote because they have failed time and again. This new thing is basically to call people out, "you're so smart, lets see what you can do with the power". It all boils down to who THEY put on the ballot. So, the perceived "power shift" is still in their hands and they STILL fail in my eyes because, you guessed it, KISS is nowhere to be found on the ballot.

FAIL!

Having said that, I'd vote for Joan Jett, Rush, Heart and Deep Purple. I reeeeeeeeeally don't see how NWA can get nominated over a billion other far superior bands and singers. I never thought NWA was even that influential. They courted controversy and had a couple of good songs. But HOF worthy? Not even close.

.....also, the idea that Flavor Flav (Public Enemy) potentially can get in before KISS and some of the most influential bands in the history of Rock is disgusting. He's NOT even a f*cking singer....or rapper. He's just the 'Hype Man' for the band. Gawd, this is so unfair. Why the **** do I care? Because KISS should have done KISS Of Love long before his stupid ass show.

Nirvana, Linda Ronstadt, LL Cool J among Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees

Quote
Alternative rock band Nirvana, singers Linda Ronstadt and Cat Stevens, and pop duo Hall and Oates led nominees for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 2014 class, the foundation that runs the music museum said on Wednesday.

It will be the first year of eligibility for Nirvana, which helped usher in the grunge rock era of the early and mid-1990s characterized by its fusion of heavy metal with punk rock.

Other nominees include U.S. rock groups Kiss, alternative pioneers the Replacements and early rock guitarist Link Wray, along with British rock bands Yes, Deep Purple and the Zombies, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation said in a statement.

Stevens, a Briton, now performs under the name Yusuf Islam.

British singer-songwriter Peter Gabriel, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2009 as a member of the rock group Genesis, also earned a nod for his solo work.

American rapper LL Cool J and gangster rap pioneers N.W.A., which helped launch the solo careers of rapper-producer Dr. Dre and rappers Ice Cube and Easy-E, were the only hip-hop artists to garner nominations.

U.S. disco band Chic, funk band the Meters and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band also received nominations for the second consecutive year.

Candidates for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum — based in Cleveland, Ohio — must have released their debut album or single at least 25 years before 2012 to be eligible.

For the second year, the Hall of Fame will allow fans to vote on which artists and groups will be inducted at rockhall.com/vote and other websites.

Fans have until Dec. 10 to pick their favorites.

Inductees will be announced shortly after the voting closes and will also be chosen by some 600 members of the foundation, which includes past inductees.

Last year's inductees included late disco queen Donna Summer, hip-hop group Public Enemy, singer-songwriter Randy Newman and rock group Heart.

Nirvana - Do You Love Me (KISS Cover)

KISS is always a bridesmaid, but never.....


Well, you get the idea. Them being nominated or considered is a joke. I really don't understand their logic as to who deserved to be enshrined or not. Didn't they pretty much influence every band in the 80's and onward when it comes to stage theatrics? Of course they did. They even influenced bands that you wouldn't expect just by looking at the surface. Case in point (play video above).

Ronstadt should have been in already. Cat Stevens? Give me a break. He sucks. Hall & Oates based on their former glory can be argued they should be in. But what have they done lately? Nada. At least KISS is still grinding it out and packing arenas the world over. F*ck the Hall of Lame.

Okay, I've gotten so use to dismissing the Hall Of Fame that my mind immediately said that "oh, another year KISS didn't get in, f*ck the Hall!". So, digging a little further and then re-reading Mac's post again, I see that they did get in. Kinda. Rolling Stone Magazine's article says that the voting isn't over and that there is still the fan vote. So, really not sure if KISS is officially in yet as I'm getting conflicting reports. Sigh.

Really we shouldn't care either way. I know you don't. I don't. I believe Kiss doesn't care?

Like when Rush got inducted. Part of me said... cool.. finally. But in the whole context of things. It doesn't matter. Just keep playing boys.

The integrity of the Hall is a joke and has been for a long time. As you said, it's cool when a fave band gets in, but beyond that...really it doesn't change anything one bit. Will I watch their induction (if it's confirmed), of course. Really curious to see if they invite EVERYONE that is still alive. So, will we see Gene, Paul, Eric, Tommy, Peter, Ace, Bruce and Vinnie? The first four that I mentioned is a given. Peter and Ace will obviously be there, but will they wear makeup of the current line up is doing the same? That would be very strange to see two "Peter Criss' and two "Ace Frehley's" on stage. As cool as they are in makeup, I reeeeeeeeeally hope they don't accept their induction wearing makeup, just for the reason I just mentioned.

If they do wear it, it's going to automatically exclude both Peter and Ace and even Bruce would be marginalized as he never wore makeup. For the sake of simplicity....no makeup for anyone. But knowing Gene and Paul, the absolutely will be wearing it. So, what about Vinnie? Would he be invited given that he revitalized the band and gave them a lifeline in the 80's? I dunno. He's an enigma and highly unpredictable. He absolutely would try to hijack the ceremony for himself and make it all about Vinnie. So, I would say him being there is very unlikely. But then again....anything is possible.

Ya know, if Eric Carr and Mark St. John were still alive (RIP guys), the list would be even longer. One thing I don't wanna see or hear is Tommy "accepting" any kind of award. I swear, if he so much as tries to take credit for what Ace brought to the table and tries to make it appear like he (Tommy) was THE guy, I will punch him in the face the first chance I get. The only thing I will accept from him is a 'Thank You'. Everyone else has a legitimate reason for something longer in their speech.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: boyinblack80 on October 22, 2013, 05:27:02 pm
Tommy isn't delusional enough to say anything more that he's a huge fan of the band and the fans and the legacy that Ace laid down and it's an honor to be part of the family...Gene and Paul could practically write it for him...but I don't see Tommy as a dumb guy at all.

I would prefer to see the band in NO make up....I think even back to the Tupac appearance...those outfits on old men ONLY works on stage now...take that element out of the picture it's just silly....plus this is finally the chance for the band to be taken "seriously" in their peers eyes...ie The Stones, The Who, Zeppelin etc.  I don't see the make up coming along that night.

I think whatever Peter says will be awkward and full of jealousy....it will come off as playing nice...but lets face it....he's got a good reason to be pissed even though him in the band...they aren't doing anything...he'd rather have seen it ended and just been a merch machine lining his pockets...but Gene and Paul had other plans and that was TO BE A BAND AND PLAY LIVE MUSIC.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: Chiprocks1 on October 22, 2013, 05:37:03 pm
I don't want any makeup for the very reason you said. But you know Gene and Paul, nothing is ever done the "easy way" with those guys. They for sure could decide that for them to not show up wearing makeup would be a "cop out" and trying to act like the Hall means something. They have always been "f*ck you" to critics and institutions like the Hall of Fame. So, 40 years of saying that and suddenly they aren't going to go in on their "OWN" terms, without the makeup, would make Gene's words seem weak. Just my perception of how he has always talked down to critics over the years and the Hall of Fame is a room full of critics. With that said, I prefer no makeup so that everyone, especially Bruce, Peter and Ace are on even playing field.

FYI, I would LOVE to see Gene walk up to the mic, look at the crowd and then say "F*ck you Hall of Fame"!! and then spit blood all over the critics in the front row.  ;D

Now bring on Vinnie and the Dogs!!!
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: boyinblack80 on October 22, 2013, 05:41:31 pm
ah so you think it will just be Eric and Tommy then (in make up)....there's NO ****ing way that Peter and Ace will also be wearing make up....but I don't see Tommy and Eric being left at home for Ace and Peter either.....I really just don't think that will happen....would be weird if they (Tommy and Eric) came in plain clothes and Ace and Peter came in make up.

this is not as easy to break down if you think about it./

the later I guess might be the most possible option.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: boyinblack80 on October 22, 2013, 05:47:22 pm
I think the big question is will Bruce be there? I don't think that he will but I wish that he would be. That said I don't think that there's a snowball's chance in hell that Vinnie Vincent will be there the percent chance of that happening is 0. So my question to you is what do you think is the percent chance of Bruce being on stage. And would you say that Tommy and Eric will definitely be there?
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: Chiprocks1 on October 22, 2013, 05:47:42 pm
Yeah, that's what I was saying in my original post. There are just too many "what ifs" and no matter how you slice it, it's going to be awkward for different reasons. If the current line up shows up with makeup, I'm gonna feel bad for Bruce more than anyone. Even over Peter and Ace, because Bruce never got a character. It's just going to be this HUGE divide if it plays out that way. That's why I don't want any makeup for anyone....but if that's the case, Gene will look foolish because he is now trying to "fit in" to what the Hall of Fame "standards" are, if you know what I mean. It's a no win situation. This could turn out to be a disaster on par with Van Halen and Guns N Roses when no one shows up. Well, Vinnie will show up no doubt.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: Chiprocks1 on October 22, 2013, 05:51:52 pm
I think the big question is will Bruce be there?

Bruce will absolutely be there 100%!!! He is still pretty tight with Gene, Paul and Eric. If Bruce isn't there, then Eric shouldn't be there even if he is in the band. Bruce was and is the 3rd longest tenured member of KISS in consecutive years. Longer than Ace, Peter and Eric. Suck on that Tommy! If Bruce didn't show up, I would be disappointed and probably p*ssed off big time.

FYI, I'm joking about Vinnie showing up because I know he won't be invited. But that's not to say he wouldn't try to crash the party wearing his Ankh Warrior makeup. No lie! He so would!!

will be interesting to see what ends up happening I'm excited and I will definitely tune in which I've never watched a rock in Roll Hall of Fame induction show especially live. I hope Bruce is there I think that would be really cool but I don't see all 7 guys walking out at once I just don't I think that Gene and Paul......f*** who comes out first that's the question?  do gene and Paul take the stage first and then they roll out the other members. I don't see any way in hell all 7 of them will walk out together. I also can't see a scenario where 6 of them come out at once and then Bruce's brought out a few minutes later. This may not be as cut and dry as you think

Post by: Chiprocks1 on October 22, 2013, 06:09:29 pm
This may not be as cut and dry as you think

You ain't kidding. But to break it down, it's the original band that is being inducted here so it should be Gene, Paul, Peter and Ace that should step on the stage first, followed by Bruce, then Eric and last would be Tommy. That's how I want it done. Vinnie, he may try to bum rush the stage at some point. If Eric and Tommy walk hand in hand with Gene and Paul first, it's going to rub a lot of people the wrong way.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: Chiprocks1 on October 22, 2013, 06:12:09 pm
The easiest and most democratic way to bring them onstage would just be to lower all 7 of them in prison lineup style (shoulder to shoulder that is) from the rafters, just like they do when opening a KISS show. Seriously. It would take out all this bullsh*t of who goes first and whatnot...........
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: boyinblack80 on October 22, 2013, 06:25:57 pm
well to be totally honest the real way that it might play out is this. Gene and Paul walk out together again I am imagine this will be without makeup. Then they bring out Peter and Ace. The full original lineup has a few moments everyone gets to talk then they bring out Tommy Eric and Bruce I honestly think that that is how it may go down. I think that Gene and Paul have done their time they spent 40 years in the band and it really is their special moment. Ace and Peter are extremely important to this equation but they have not been there for 40 years. I think Gene and Paul will bring them out give them their moments and then we'll move on to the other three members that were important part of it. I honestly think that that is a very fair way to do it. If I was in the band and I was Gene or Paul that's how I would do it. I don't think they feel like they owe Peter or Ace a thing.   At this time they aren't friends, they hardly talk. I do remember Gene or Ace said that they had had lunch together and it was nice/this is maybe a year or two back but I think overall Gene and Ace are cordial to each other.  I don't think Paul has a relationship with either Ace or Peter

Whatever happens, there is something fun about not knowing how this is going to play. The unpredictability is making this "non-event" more exciting and giving KISS fans something to chew on till the day arrives. Like I said in the email earlier, the original four will play together. I actually see it happening much the same way it did during MTV's Unplugged Session and then they bring out everyone for the finale. I wanna Rock and Roll All Nite, and Party everyday!!!!..............

this is that old story though.....I don't think Gene can really control them as far as being there...and if the other "version" of the band plays that will be pretty funny

imagine this...Ace and Peter will be in street clothes accepting their awards and Gene and Paul will have to come up in costume...they (Gene and Paul) will look like total jack asses.

this should be good either way

I hope Vinnie shows up and has a pink guitar and plays some crazy solo!

It's official. Let the games begin and watch Gene and Paul belittle everything that Peter and Ace brought to the group.I should be happy, but I just know that this is going to get ugly, which of course will leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth. If Gene and Paul reach out to everyone involved with KISS, past and present, then and only then will I celebrate this as if I were 10 years old again.

I really hope Bruce is involved...he REALLY deserves to be there....Vinnie did in fact never sign the contract...so I don't really feel like he earned the right to be there although I do consider him a member of the band.

I know Bob won't be there either

but yeah I mean Vinnie himself screwed that up (shocker) but never officially joining the band.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: Chiprocks1 on December 17, 2013, 02:14:21 pm
I actually think Vinnie does deserve to be there for no other reason in that he injected new life into KISS when they were at an all time low both musically as well as relevancy. Do I expect him to be invited or even show up? Hell no. Bruce will absolutely be there. Outside of Gene and Paul, he is the longest tenured member of KISS. Like I said in my previous post, I fear it's going to get ugly when Gene and Paul start excluding people and if somehow Bruce was lumped into the Peter / Ace camp....fans will let it be known how f*cked up it has gotten. Even thought Mark had the shortest run with the band, I hope he gets some mention during the speech. Eric Carr will no doubt get a lot of love that night.

Now I can celebrate. Now I can get on board the HOF train. I am somewhat shocked that Gene came out and basically extended an open invitation to Ace and Peter given all the bad blood and past comments that neither would be welcomed on stage. But the biggest surprise of course is Gene acknowledging Vinnie. I like that he also gave a shout out to Mark and of course Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick would get mentioned as well. Nice. So, if Gene stays true to his statement, let the partying begin..............

I soooooooo want to see everyone that is still alive a part of this. Can you just picture all the members of KISS (past and present) on the same stage at once? Wow.

This is how I see it playing out. Gene, Paul, Peter and Ace will wear the makeup and accept the award on stage and do most of the talking. Bruce, Eric and Tommy will be on stage in background without makeup and will each get to say a few words. Vinnie will crash the show wearing his makeup, stumble around, slur his words, kill a few dogs and make his way up to the stage and play a 20 minute guitar solo. The only problem is that he is so f*cked up he doesn't realize that he is playing 'air guitar' and he keeps yelling to the roadie to turn up the volume.

At that exact moment, both Peter and Ace walk back up to the podium and grab the mic, they turn around and address Gene and Paul and in unison say "....and you think WE have issues?".

Hahahahaha.

Rumor has it that Paul Stanley sent an open invitation to all past members, but singled out Vinnie specifically that he was invited. It's one thing for Gene to congratulate everyone, which was cool of course, but it's another thing when the Top Dog (that would be Paul) invites you to show up. The more I think about it and the closer it gets, I get the feeling that Gene and Paul both realize that this moment is a once in a lifetime event and there will never be another opportunity to have all living members of KISS in one location. I'm getting more and more pumped for this. Please don't turn out to be an EPIC FAIL that was both the Van Halen and Guns N Roses debacle of years past, both of which turned out to be embarrassing to everyone associated with it.

well if the source is Vinnie....than you know....who really has any idea...if they can quote one outside source beside their own cult...I'd be more likely to imagine something might be true.

Vinnie does seem to perpetuate his own fantasies...and I am sure he will turn down the offer...if said fantasy is in fact what I imagine it might be...with this story.

I honestly doubt they are going to have him.....the only "hope" I'd say for him would be if there was any indication on KISS end post Revenge they have any love or admiration for the guy/

either way it's fun to imagine the scenarios...so I am glad you posted it.....we'll see...I'd love to see one blurb directly from Paul off the VV forums that is somewhat legit with him saying something about it.

I really don't know if VV would show up....if he's 5'5 and weighs 250 pounds now...there is NO way he'll go...I think he's too vain now.

Not sure. As I remember it, the show is taped and then it would air a month or so later on VH1. For obvious reasons, this is unacceptable this year! However, it just hit me that I remember a couple of years ago (maybe the GNR one) that was shown live on HBO. Or maybe it was Van Halen.

damn HBO and Showtime cornering the market on every damn thing and I can't afford either.

Ya know, as the date gets closer and close, I have been thinking the past week or so more about what THE night should be, but thinking about the bands past, I get a rude wake up call and end up thinking what the night will be. I just have a really bad feeling that with Gene and Paul calling the shots that we are going to have a fiasco on our hands (ala Guns N Roses, Van Halen). I want to believe the four of them can put their petty bullsh*t aside just for one f*cking night. But even that is going to pose problems and blow up in their faces.

I say just have Bruce Kulick come out dressed in whatever costume he wants and play a medley, acoustic style. Just him, a stool and a guitar.  If he decides to just play Grand Funk Railroad songs instead, fine by me. ;D Back on a serious not, I remember getting worked up about both GNR and VH and that the 'fans' were going to benefit most from a 1 night reunion. Look how that turned out for us.

Sigh.

if you really look at the night/

Kiss fans are seeing it from one perspective....I am not sure they are the "stars" of the show...I have never seen one of those HOF things go down...but there's a good chance they won't play and Nirvana will with Paul McCartney or something.


the big finale might be some crappy Nirvana song.

KISS fans think it's KISS' show....did Van Halen play?

I don't believe they did.

did Zeppelin play?

Like Scott Wieland sing a KISS song again in Kiss make up etc.

We've already dealt with this sort of sh*t before with VH1 Rock Honors and hated it, even with an 'All Star' band playing KISS tunes with Ace on guitar. If the Original 4 can't play on stage...together, in make up, then what is the point of them being there? In my gut, I just feel that Gene will "allow" Ace and Peter to say a few words and then Gene will RAM down KISS Version 4.0 down our throats for the sole purpose of 'Selling' the band as THE definitive version.

Just read that the HBO airing is indeed a month after the show itself as I originally thought it to be. So, seeing KISS induction "Live" is going to prove problematic as I don't know of any other entity that will have any sort of live feed. So, my guess is that the closet anyone is gonna get to seeing this on this particular night is sh*tty cell cam video via YouTube. Ugh. By the time we see the official release of the show, we will have dissected the sh*t out of it and know EVERYTHING that did and didn't happen. Ack!!

Cool intereview. I'd like to check out his Signature Guitar for myself, but since only 25 are being made, that's never gonna happen as I'm sure they are already completely Sold Out.

Paul Stanley slams the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame (http://www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/kiss-slam-the-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame/)


Ya know what, now that Paul has spoken up and call out the hall for what it is, I'm actually proud of the dude. With all the talk about who is or isn't going to perform, I lost sight of the fact that I didn't care much for the Hall's rep for a long ass time. I love that Paul pretty much lays it out there as to why and how KISS got inducted. If it his words about the Hall were prompted by his request to have all members inducted and being turned down, then I think it's great he stood up for ex members of KISS. It's not a veiled attempt to get Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer inducted for obvious reasons, but if Paul is going to use other inductees as an example thene he will publicly have to say that Bruce Kulick, Eric Carr, Vinnie Vincent, Mark St. John should also be included as well.  He really does make a clear point about how the system is flawed and I'm glad that he pointed out Robert Trujillo's "induction" with Metallica as being a joke. Think about it.....he just joins the band a few years earlier and suddenly he is a member of the Hall? I'm STILL scratching my head on that one. So, cheers to Paul.  :)

Now with that said, if Paul is only trying to get Singer and Thayer inducted and no one else, then this is a HUGE EPIC FAIL that would scream hypocrisy on his part.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: boyinblack80 on February 14, 2014, 05:30:47 pm
really?

I found it basically a sideways move/

he's got no respect but they are going to go.

it's sort of a lie...he does care, he will do basically what they say, they will show up.

what did he stand up for? (not asking you but saying in a way to Paul)

the big stand would be **** you...I don't care...we don't want to go in, KISS our ass.

since he didn't do that and basically KISS is going in their ****...it's like the Hall f@cked them in the ass...and they went back to the "hen" house and compained.

the Hall won, not them.(as it stands now)

Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: Chiprocks1 on February 14, 2014, 05:34:35 pm
If Paul is pushing for EVERYONE, then I applaud him, even if there is an obvious agenda on Paul and Gene's part because the bitter pill of Eric and Tommy playing will "go down easier". But if he is just pushing for those two to be inducted and no one else, then it's a fail. Honestly, with all the 'will they or won't they' talk I'm seeing on a lot of sites, I'm kind of burned out on it and wouldn't have a problem with no one showing up....except Sammy and Michael of course.  ;D
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: boyinblack80 on February 14, 2014, 05:42:53 pm
the fact is they want the induction though and that's somethings the hall has over their head big time. Trust me, Paul can puff  up his chest as much as he wants, but the main people who run the Hall of Fame have him by the balls and have Gene  by the balls.

they want to get in and be part of that club, the hall could care less how much they want to complain and talk about it.   its money in their pocket getting KISS in there and getting people to walk through those doors for the next 5 to 10 years looking at a small section of KISS memorabilia.  KISS won't see a penny of the profit either.  It's not merchandise they'll sell its just head count through the doors and turnstiles. 

right now the hall has control.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame

KISS has the money too at this point...I think as stupid as it sounds...they want to be in their with all those bands...not having that wouldn't feel right

and I don't blame them

it wasn't the goal when they were working....but at the end of the game you want to be remembered and in that special group.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: Chiprocks1 on February 14, 2014, 06:10:50 pm
Well he may want to "get in", but he is spot on about the credibility of the hall and how it runs the operation. There are far too many "bands" to even mention that don't belong in the Hall as it is. Do I think it's a p*ssing contest right now between the Paul / Gene and the Hall? Of course. As a fan, do I want to see them in with the other big name bands like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin? Absolutely. Is the HOF itself a joke? You betcha. Whatever happens, from now until the night it all goes down, it will be fun to follow this real life soap opera. I just know that at the end of the same night, I, along with millions of other KISS Army members are going to be seriously disappointed one way or another in how it unfolds.

Gene and Paul are really in a no win situation. They don't want to play with Peter and Ace, even if they say it's all cool between them in the press. If they do play with them...Gene and Paul lose. The fans win. If they play with Eric and Tommy, Gene and Paul lose as the fans will be p*ssed off and rightly so. If they do a all for one jam with current and former members of KISS, the fans win, but Gene and Paul lose because that isn't what they want to do. At this moment in time, as you pointed out, the Hall wins no matter what happens because 'whatever happens' will happen after the peeps have already shelled out big bucks for their tickets and won't care who plays and who doesn't.

You know, now that I think about it. The only thing that can save KISS in this situation is....you guessed it....Vinnie Vincent.  ;D Imagine that....he actually shows up and becomes the mediator between everyone and save the night, the band and his career! Haha. Won't happen.....but it's a cool story if it did.

"Is the HOF itself a joke? You betcha."

then why does anyone care?

is it just something to talk about?

that part I don't get....it's a joke because non-rock bands are in the Hall of Fame?

or the order they went in?

 if it's nothing or means nothing....why would any band be a part of it/.

it is a big deal...or KISS wouldn't have even picked up the phone.

"Is the HOF itself a joke? You betcha."


To me it is a joke. Not speaking for anyone else other than myself. The system they have in place doesn't work. To other people it may be the best thing that's ever been put together. Gene and Paul have always been about the globalization of KISS. So of course they would pick up the phone and want in on something that is going to get a nationwide viewing audience when it airs, regardless of how they may or may not feel about the Hall itself.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: boyinblack80 on February 14, 2014, 06:33:20 pm
all these things are silly.

I mean in my field they have 2 different main awards things...and then 2 other lifetime achievement versions with different names...but it's all screwed up and honestly working you just don't care.

I don't even look at the ballots anymore...but the year we were nominated for 4 awards...it gets your attention and you want it...maybe as an F U for people who never believed.

it's never the goal I think for most artists to get into the "hall" but it's there and at the end of a long career like KISS has had, you want to be in there with your Jimi Hendrix's and your Jefferson Airplanes etc.

now quick question.

was Sammy inducted with VH?

I am guessing not...which really is a shame because as iconic and as much as I adore the original line up.....he did sell MILLIONS of records for VH and had some HUGE hits.

it should have been a dual entry done right...maybe back to back years or something....where they'd know...1999 the original band would go...and in 2000 the second version.

Sammy is a rock icon and deserves it.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: Chiprocks1 on February 14, 2014, 06:44:32 pm
Both Sammy and Roth went in with Van Halen. So, what is the criteria for who gets in? That's the problem with the Hall. Both absolutely deserved to be in the Hall if you are putting Van Halen in there. But when it comes to cherry picking who gets in, that's where the problems come up and I point to Trujillo again. Nothing against the man or his playing, but do you really think he belongs in the Hall based on his track record with Metallica at that time? Hell no.

When it comes to KISS, as you are well aware of already, all the Ex-members did a lot to keep the band going forward. Either you put them all in.....or you don't put anyone in especially if they are going to let someone like Trujillo skate on in without putting in the man-hours it takes to get into something like the Hall.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: boyinblack80 on February 14, 2014, 07:39:13 pm
I do think Tommy and Eric should go Eric Carr, Bruce......it's tough but all things considered only Mark St John might get omitted...he was on a decent record but Vincent did more with the band

how long was Vinnie in?  2 years ?
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: Chiprocks1 on February 14, 2014, 07:53:41 pm
Vinnie was in the band for Creatures and Lick It Up and started writing songs for Animalize when he got the boot. And of course he came back for Revenge as well as a writer only. So I would say 3 1/2 years of time put into the band. That's not a definitive number because I don't know how long the writing process was on Revenge.

Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: Chiprocks1 on February 21, 2014, 05:58:11 pm
Thanks for the link. Will definitely tune in for that. I kind of suspected that this whole will they, or won't they show up would blow up in our faces. Not sure why Ace wouldn't want to get up on stage and accept the award in spite of Paul trying to dictate everything. I'm sure he has told Ace he doesn't want to play with him on stage and that's fine. But if the RARHOF means anything to Ace, I certainly wouldn't let Paul dictate whether or not I show up. If Ace doesn't care about the award, then doing a no-show makes perfect sense.

But here's the thing that I kind of think is at play here. Maybe this is the intent of Paul and Gene to make it so that Ace and Peter are no-shows. Sure, it's going out on a limb and calling their bluff and hoping they do indeed skip the show and if that all plays into what Paul wants, and neither do show, I will bet you a boatload of money that Paul and Gene would "suddenly" be up to jamming at the end.....with Eric and Tommy. Conspiracy theorist have NOTHING on me!!

With all that out of the way, you are aware that Ace is going on Eddie's show to plug his new line of Space Ace Perfume? No lie, they just started carrying it at Nordstroms last week. "Smell like a Rock Star! But to play like one, you need to take lessons".

Do they even f*cking comprehend that KISS fans like us have been waiting and dreaming and hoping for a fantastic send off for years and when the call finally comes in that they are being inducted, it was a life long dream starting to take shape. And now THIS garbage rears its ugly head. What makes this really suck donkey balls is that THIS could have been totally been avoiding if Gene and Paul would just take one for the fans. But nooooooooooooooooo. It's all about money with them. Seriously, how much money do they really need? F*CK YOU GENE! F*CK YOU PAUL! I will still buy Paul's book when I run out of toilet paper.

For Gene, who claims to be a "marketing genius", he is so dumb and blind at the potential of a RARHOF Reunion to use as a selling point for a future Kisslogy Set (Volume 4). That alone would make the set a must-have. Now.....anything they put out....not gonna bother to even look at it, let alone fork over my money.

exactly./

I am still shocked....I can't beleive they couldn't find a way to play 2 songs with Ace and Peter and then play the last 2 songs with all the guys...

just stupid.

it's the hall of fame for the first 8 years of the band./...do they not get that.

no one is talking about Bruce Kulick...or  Tommy as legends...they are both fine players but the band is like Zeppelin in as that the 4 members were SO iconic none could ever be exchanged.

KISS Won’t Perform at All at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony (http://loudwire.com/kiss-wont-perform-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-induction-ceremony/)


Quote
To All Our Fans In Regards To The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
Out of respect, Ace and Peter’s recent statements demand a quick response to you, our fans.
Our intention was to celebrate the entire history of KISS and give credit to all members including present long time present members Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer, and additionally Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr all who have made this band what it is, regardless of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame’s point of view.
Although KISS has moved forward far longer without them, Ace and Peter are at the very foundation of what we have built and this would all be impossible had they not been a part of it in the beginning.
It is over 13 years since the original lineup has played together in make-up and we believe the memory of those times would not be enhanced. Contrary to claims made through the media we have never refused to play with Ace and Peter.
We have spent 40 years dedicated to building KISS without quitting or wavering as the band has moved forward with huge tours and platinum albums through different important lineups for forty years, to this day.
KISS has always been a band unlike any other. That is why we started KISS. That is why we continue KISS. Being unlike other bands also means making choices and decisions unlike other bands.
This is understandably an emotional situation where there is no way to please everyone.
To bring this to a quick end, we have decided not to play in any line-up and we will focus our attention on celebrating our induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
We are excited and are looking forward to seeing you all on the KISS 40th Anniversary worldwide tour.

Not playing is the smartest thing Gene or Paul have been since the announcement they were inducted into the RARHOF. Plus, it saves the embarrassment for Eric and Tommy being asked to play in "their" respective Cat and Space Ace personae's. There is more in the above link. So, with any kind of performance off the table, does this mean that Ace and Peter will show up to accept their induction in person? I hope so.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: boyinblack80 on February 23, 2014, 10:45:23 am
I did feel like they would show up even though Ace at the moment seemed to be leaning against it.

I don't think either he or Peter would have stayed home.

I am such an empathetic bastard...now I am feeling bad for gene and Paul@!

hahaha

great find.

I had to hop off the KISS train yesterday...I was annoyed and there was way too much arguing and **** being posted everywhere to even follow it all.

Post by: Chiprocks1 on February 23, 2014, 10:51:29 am
With this all "sorted out" at the moment, I guaran-damn-tee you that at the 11th hour or a "spur of the moment", Gene, Paul, Peter and Ace will perform together....without makeup. It's all PLANNED!!!! And even if it wasn't planned, what is the HOF gonna do? Stop them from playing just because it's not in 'makeup'? Of course not. They will bend over and take it in the ass because it would be a 'one of the greatest moments ever for the HOF'. Suck it!

Now if KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park had all THIS drama, it would have been considered one of the greatest movies of all time, in rarefied company as Casablanca, Gone with the Wind and The Shawshank Redemption.  ;D

Leave it to Gene and Paul to turn the simple act of walking through the HOF doors into a monumental, Herculean feat of EPIC proportions, all in the name of 'marketing'. I think that Gene, Paul, Peter and Ace should just stand up at the podium, say their speeches, come together at the end and sing A Capella "Happy Trails". That would heal all wounds. Who cares if it's a cover song, it would be awesome none the less.

I'm actually laughing and giddy that the RARHOF is shooting itself in the foot with this years "Show". Not surprised that this has turned into a Train Wreck of EPIC proportions. The "good" seats go for $7,000 and the table seats START at $50,000 and move upward. F*ck that sh*t. The RARHOF can go suck their collective d*cks. Granted, this is all speculative, but it does make one think just how greedy they can be.

Post by: Chiprocks1 on March 02, 2014, 02:49:46 pm
Ya know what, I think this whole "will they or won't they play at the RARHOF" is just Gene and Paul trying to keep RARHOF from cashing in on the KISS brand and something they CAN'T control. I just have this gut feeling that once RARHOF is over and done with, their will be some sort of 40th Anniversary celebration involving Ace and Peter, which of course equates to Gene and Paul getting to keep all the money that would have gone to RARHOF in their own pockets. Yes, Ace and Peter will get paid a flat fee for appearances. But now the KISS Company will be able to profit off of whatever kind of 'Reunion' it is from Posters, DVDs, Albums, etc....So, if this is in fact what will play out, I too would do it this way if it meant retaining as much control and reaping the benefits.

As for Paul trying to leverage getting Bruce Kulick, Eric Carr, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer into the hall with the "promise" that the original four would play, even if he were successful in doing that, if KISS ended up playing 3 songs at RARHOF, it would be with the current lineup, "saving" Ace and Peter for a later date. That's my 2 cents. Like I said, it's a gut feeling I'm getting and my gut is never wrong. FYI, not talking about a full blown reunion tour either. Just a series of shows at MSG.
Title: Re: Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame
Post by: boyinblack80 on March 02, 2014, 03:10:22 pm
I'd agree...not sure how planned out it all is or was...but if they are going to get together for one event....might as well make as much cash as possible for this one off 40th anniversary show or whatever it might be....or their own terms

you figure they still have 9 months to set it up....gives Ace time to drop weight and get more hair help

KISS (Dress To Kill Outtake)

(http://i.imgur.com/HElhMLO.jpg)


I didn't even think of this till now, but I would love to see Ace, Peter, Paul and Gene wearing suits along with their makeup. Ya know, skip the costumes and "dress up" for the event. Won't happen. But that would have been a killer way to attend the ceremony and make it look like their were taking the Hall "seriously". Too bad Peter and Ace don't own their makeup anymore. If they did, I could definitely see them doing something EXACTLY like this and it would also give Ace a way around from being overweight. He could actually pull the look off in a suit. Spacesuit....not so much. If I were either Peter or Ace, I absolutely WOULD dress up in a suit with makeup and let Gene and Paul sue me. I wouldn't care. Bring it on motherf*ckers! Ack!

Is there any updates about who may or may not show up? For what seems like 2 weeks straight, all we got was mudslinging on both sides (Team Gene/Paul Vs. Team Ace/Peter). But it has been unusually quite the past few days. Maybe that's a good thing and they are in fact working something out? I haven't found anything online one way or another.

as solid **** comes out...we will for sure hear about it...so I mean as REAL info comes...we will hear.

I DO believe Ace is attending...that was confirmed by his girlfriend...so that I know for pretty sure...and I am also pretty sure Peter's wife/ manager confirmed he would be there also.

Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott Labels Rock Hall Voters ‘Faceless Tuxedo-Wearing Morons’

(http://www.biography.com/imported/images/Biography/Images/Profiles/E/Joe-Elliott-20854427-1-402.jpg)

Quote
Def Leppard‘s summer touring mates Kiss are going into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year. And it seems most of Joe Elliott’s band would like to join them. But not Joe, who says he has no use for the “board room of faceless tuxedo-wearing morons” who decide such things based on their own determination of what’s cool.

“That’s how I see it,” the Def Leppard frontman tells Hitfix. “I don’t care about people like that.”

Entry into the hall is determined via 600 votes cast by industry insiders and journalists, with fan balloting counting as one of those votes. In recent years, both Black Sabbath and Kiss have found their way in, but the list of hard rock and heavy metal acts who’ve been snubbed over the years reads like its own Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — from Deep Purple and Iron Maiden to Motorhead and Judas Priest.

That said, the other four members of Def Leppard say they would participate if the induction came: “And I go ‘Why? The Sex Pistols told them to shove it,’” Elliott adds. “They say, ‘We should, it’s going to be good for our …’ I couldn’t care less. I don’t see where we’re going to sell one ticket more, sell one more record.”

And it’s not like a nod from the hall is going to change things for him on a personal level, either: “Is it going to pay my mortgage off? Is it going to put my kid through school? Am I going to sleep better at night?” he says. “I don’t give a flying rat’s ass about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”

Elliott and Def Leppard will tour together with Kiss this summer, with dates beginning about a month after after Kiss’ highly contested induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

KISS - Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Speech

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBFPcK_Jx60


Fan shot video of the Speech. Who would have ever thought that Gene would be the one to give the best and most heartfelt speech of the four? Not I. I'm glad that Gene took the time to acknowledge Eric Carr, Mark St. John and Vinnie Vincent, the later two I wasn't sure would leave his mouth. As for Ace, Peter and Paul, their speeches were exactly what I expected from each. I know that Ace would get lost somewhere along the way and just try to be funny and laugh it off. It was an okay speech, if you want to call it that. But I loved Ace getting in a dig at Paul about his sobriety. Ouch. Peter, I knew he would claim himself as the only Catman (and rightfully so). The look on Paul's face said it all. He tried to laugh it off, but he was clearly annoyed by it. As for Paul, I also knew that he would have some harsh words for the voting body of the Hall of Fame. All in all, I was happy it was civil in that moment. But I can guarantee you there will be some fallout in the days and weeks regarding Ace and Peter's choice words.

KISS remain civil at Rock Hall Induction

Yes, I'm obsessively posting as much KISS-related Hall of Fame stuff for the simple fact this is most likely the last time we will ever see the original four together on stage. Sigh.

what's interesting about this era is KISS is very DOWN on radio.....how crazy to think the internet was about to destroy the entire music business in terms of record sales..

KISS is hands down the most interesting band.

KISS Rock And Roll Hall of Fame Induction by Tom Morello

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC4S4qMWun4


Here's the other one. I think I like this one the best because it's at stage level and the guy filming it was smart enough to at least try and get some reaction shots from the two KISS tables. I can't tell you how many times I've watched Tom's speech since it went viral. But damn, hearing Tom's epic speech is electric and STILL gives me chills. This isn't coming from a fanboy perspective when I say this, but his speech will become something of mythical lore with KISS fans the older it gets. He has firmly put himself front and center of some of the best and greatest moments in KISSTORY. I can only imagine the feeling that was coursing through Gene, Paul, Peter and Ace's body hearing that from where they were sitting. When Tom finally hits the apex of his speech "......What would you say if you saw THAT? You’d say, "That band’s f*cking AWESOME and deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame!!" That’s what you’d say.

The speech itself was like a song and that particular moment is the ULTIMATE guitar solo. It's a crescendo that hits the spot and vindication of 40 years leading to that moment. Chills. You can find Tom's Speech in full, here (http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/read-kiss-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-acceptance-speech-20140410).

Eddie Trunk recaps the Kiss Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction 4.14.2014

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVPuz6lAiUo&index=9&list=PLp2e7UfInEgmB-5r4rtQOEsq-H-mNmQhk


I'm just NOW getting around to listening to this and it was fun to hear in spite of what I think of Eddie Trunk these days. My biggest gripe is that he always finds something to complain about and this is no exception here. It's actually why I love this radio segment. Eddie goes off on the Hall of Fame in nuclear mode that you think he is going to have a heart attack. It's nothing new, but it was fun to hear him go on and on about his perspective of the show having attended it personally. One thing I didn't like about the radio segment was that the majority of the callers couldn't put two words together in their "questions" to Eddie. Do they not screen these people before allowing them on air?

ROCK HALL CEO Accuses PAUL STANLEY Of Being 'Almost Borderline Racist' (http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/rock-hall-ceo-accuses-paul-stanley-of-being-almost-borderline-racist/)


What the f*ck! F*ck this douche nozzle Peresman. He's really reaching by calling Paul a 'Racist'. Sure, Paul did in fact say that Rappers don't belong, but lets keep it real, EVERYONE for the past 15 years has been saying it. Whenever a band like RUN DMC gets in over bands like Rush, KISS, Guns N Roses or any other band that took years to get in, the first thing people say is 'why is such and such in' and the finger always points are rap and hip hop artist. So, if you're gonna call Paul a racist, you might as well say the same about a million other people as well. Dipsh*t!

HBO is playing the hell out of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. 3+ hours is a lot of time to sit in one place. I usually don’t like award shows, but I thought I’d give this a chance.

It was all standard fare as far as I was concerned. I’m sure there was some underground bubbling going on, but that was not apparent in this presentation.

I was thoroughly impressed with Cat Stevens. His acceptance speech was nice and fun, but his performance was just awesome. I’m not a fan per se of Bruce Springsteen, but his portion was watchable. I knew very little of his band and it was cool to see him go through each member. His performance was good as expected.

Tribute to Linda Ronstadt was a sweet/sour event. With Ms. Ronstadt not present, the induction was more like a memorial. One of the greatest rock voices of all time, it would have been nice to hear her again, but with onset of Parkinson’s, she can no longer sing. The academy stepped up and brought in top notch talent to sing some of her biggest hits. Believe it or not, call me impressed. Carrie Underwood, Bonnie Raitt, Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks, sounded fantastic.

(http://wac.450f.edgecastcdn.net/80450F/theboot.com/files/2014/04/Linda-Ronstadt-Hall-of-Fame-Tribute.jpg)

Please don’t let this sound like I’m crapping on Kiss, but totally underwhelmed. They quietly walk on stage… stoned face, quiet and just gave each other pleasant accolades for the formation 40 years prior. I just figured they would be a little more animated or lively. Guess they didn’t want to be there? Tom Morello on the other hand was pure energy and pretty fantastic induction of the band.

Peter Gabriel was humble and laid back. I like a lot of his music. He is an odd performer. But his performance at the hall was classic Gabriel and he sounds so good.

Legendary Rock DJ Alan Freed’s Ashes Removed from Rock Hall as Beyonce Exhibit Moves In

Quote
The place of honor reserved for Alan Freed’s ashes at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is being taken away, and the legendary DJ’s surviving family members aren’t happy about it.
ABC News Radio reports that Freed’s son Lance claims Rock Hall CEO Greg Harris told him Freed’s remains need to be removed from the Hall because, as he allegedly put it, “people walk past the exhibit and your dad’s ashes and they scratch their heads and can’t figure out what this thing is, and we’d like you to come pick up the ashes.” The display, part of a larger exhibit paying tribute to Freed’s many cultural contributions during the rise of rock ‘n’ roll, had been in place since 2002.

“We didn’t have a choice,” Lance Freed told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “I’m more than disappointed. I don’t feel it’s appropriate, but I don’t own the place. After 12 years, we thought this was going to be his final resting place.”

In his defense, Harris explained to the paper that his decision was made because “the concept of human remains on display for the public is something that museums in general are getting away from,” and he vowed that in spite of Freed’s beliefs to the contrary, the exhibit honoring his father isn’t being moved or altered beyond the removal of the urn containing the ashes, which are set to be replaced with a pair of the senior Freed’s microphones. It’s also been noted that this change is taking place as the Rock Hall opens a new display centered around pop icon Beyonce‘s outfits, but Harris argued that it’s reflective of the music’s continual evolution: “Rock and roll isn’t just about yesterday. It continues to evolve, and we continue to embrace it and refine our operations.”

If the Hall would simply play the awesome American Hot Wax movie on a monitor right next to his ashes, it would cut down on all the head scratching. Just sayin'.

Joe Elliott Says Def Leppard Would ‘Politely Refuse’ Rock Hall Induction (http://ultimateclassicrock.com/def-leppard-rock-hall-induction/)


Hahaha. Paul Stanley said the same thing for years and then went willingly when his name was called. I would love to see Joe, or anyone for that matter actually say true to their word and tell the Hall to f*ck off when given the choice to do one or the other. My guess is that they will accept. Hell, the actually pretty much gives Joe an "out" by using the "if fans disagree with us" as a way to circumvent his refusal to accept. Come on Joe, stick to the Hall!!
