Axl declines induction into Rock Hall of Fame

[Red_Label]

Axl is a fat, Botoxed up pussy. He gives F.U.P.A's a bad name! One a douche, always a douche. He would taint the induction. Good riddens.

Taint the RnR Hall of Fame? That place is as valid as the nobel peace prize. What a joke.

I'm starting to think that the maggots who vote for the Nobel prize, the RRHoF, and who write for Rolling Stone are all the same maggots.

I can't say anything bad about Axl, Armand was a good friend of mine and that was very cool of him to put that at the end of his statement.

at least he is honest and does what he feels, perhaps he does not care about any of it. Beyond some of his other notable events, at least he is not a drone of the industry like some others that are controlled like puppets.

It angers me that Guns have been inducted but RUSH have not. I mean...really?

Totally agree, man.

Rush not in the HOF makes its membership less meaningful. Lifeson was not my favorite guitar player (rhythms=awesome, leads=not so much), but the band definitely influenced a LOT of musicians over their 5 decades of making music.

AFD is one of my favorite albums. GNR Lies was pretty cool too (dug the acoustic stuff). I think they lost it in the 90's though.

Does GNR deserve to be in the HOF? I could go either way.

Does Rush deserve to be in the HOF? Hell yes.

Rush's lack of induction is more than any other the reason I HATE the RRHOF. I guess I don't have words to describe my true disdain for the RRHOF and Rolling Stone "our idiotic club is better than yours" morons. They aren't even fit to be crabs in Charlie Manson's pubes...

Question that needs to be asked. RHCP? Really?

Axl Rocks!!!!

If he "just doesn't care", they why the lengthy (puss) letter?? He gives a shit... He's a fucking drama queen!

because you need to respond based on invitation and now it is in writing and cant be distorted by rumor types

ABBA, Madonna, and Run DMC are in the R&R Hall of Fame.

RRHOF started off as a good idea, has since fell off the credibility meter.

plus its now basically a written contract so if the RRHF fucks up and mentions Axl or has someone accept it on his behalf Axl will have no problem winning the lawsuit against them.

 

[Mailman1971]

Soooooooo.........what is the Bigger Joke? RRHOF or Axl and his 'band'...

Fuck axl.....such a drama queen. And I LOVED GUNS N ROSES back in the 80's.
To me AFD is still one of my top 3 EVER CD's.

But Axl Needs to just stop being a Bitch.

Just like the Nobel Prize,.......................

Rush would be a better fit in the safe music hall of fame, guns belongs in the rock n roll hof, apples and oranges for the two bands. Key words being rock n roll in this case.

That would clearly explain how/why Madonna, Run DMC and who knows who else has had more of a contribution to R&R than Rush.

I guess the bottom line is Rock and Roll is an extremely tough phrase to define.

I have been around Duff several times & was in a band that opened for Slash back in the mid 90's. In my little experience around these people it is difficult to take any of this serious. My first impression 20+years ago of drama queen has not changed. Part of it might be he does not want to perform that stuff live there. Have you ever heard him live ??? Maybe he is better live now than long ago ....

Really!?!!? "And now it is written!""".....blah, blah, blah. We get that part. The point was/is, if he didn't care, then why not just respond with a simple...."I'm a dumb fuck and I respectfully decline." instead, he went on with a short novel....because HE DOES CARE and likes stirring up shit. The more you say, the more you open yourself up to distorted rumors. He's a botoxed up fupa drama queen!!

"Two days after Axl Rose stated that he was declining his induction with Guns N' Roses into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Izzy Stradlin, has quit the band in 1991, has finally broken his silence on the matter.
In an official statement posted today, Stradlin wrote, "I have waited up to this point to see what would become of the GN'R induction into Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. I would like to say THANK YOU and GRACIAS to Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame for the acknowledgement of our works over the years as a band. BIG THANKS to all my bandmates who helped get us to where we are today.
"And, of course, THANK YOU to all of the people on this planet (including, but not limited to, the entire universe and beyond, etc., etc., etc.) who have supported Guns N' Roses from day one. Adios, Amigos!"
Stradlin's message was posted on Duff McKagan's blog on Seattle Weekly.com. "Izzy asked me to do him a favor and sort of get this out for him," McKagan wrote. "Izzy don't Tweet, etc."
It is still unclear whether Stradlin plans on attending the Rock Hall induction ceremony, which takes place Saturday, 14 April, in Cleveland, Ohio."

"Izzy don't Tweet, etc." ~ classic ....

i expect nothing less from these buffoons. ALL of them.

and im a pretty big GnR fan....past, present future. grew up with them, still listen to them, dont love the new stuff, but it is what it is.

like i said, buffoons, ALL of them....just like DLR is a parody of himself, axl is at the front of the buffoonery.

This was such a bad idea to begin with. Who ever believed that Axl would get over one of the biggest grudges in RnR history, join his former members and give legitimity to the old line up over his current one? The way I see it he was forced into being a dick one more time. I think the letter was well written and I don't see any exagerated drama in it.
For the record, I enjoy GnR without being a fan, and I never worshiped Slash, so I like to think I'm not too biased about this. I also think Chinese Democracy has some great songwriting and very good musicianship.

I agree but I think what most people have a problem with is the grudge itself. C'mon Man! Get over it.
