I watched the entire “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” on TV last night and I was very surprised. The show was one of the best ” Rock Hall of Fame” shows in a very long time. The “Hall of Fame” has been crap the last couple of years, but this year was surprisingly good. I enjoyed all the inductees this year and the speeches and performances were great.
Wanda Jackson was incredible.
Eminem gave an amazing speech on Run-DMC, his speech about the legendary rap group was very heart warming.
The Jimmy Page speech was very brief and short, he didn’t talk long on stage at all, but Jeff Beck’s speech was good though. Jeff was honest that even he admits that he’s not big enough to be in the Hall of Fame, and admits that he doesn’t deserve to be inducted. Jeff Beck’s live performance was fucking amazing and mind blowing though.
Flea gave a hilarious and great speech about Metallica. Metallica’s acceptance speech was amazing too. Cliff Burton’s father was on stage and Cliff’s mother was out in the audience watching the band get inducted. You had to feel sorry for Cliff’s mother ’cause she was crying the whole time wishing her son was alive and on stage to experience the amazing moment. It was great to see Jason Newsted again. I loved seeing Jason and Rob jamming together. I was surprised they picked “Master of Puppets”, then of course they played, “Enter Sandman” after. Metallica an incredible performance at the Hall of Fame, now I really can’t wait to see them live in Albany in Nov.
Music fans out there really need to stop hating and bashing the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame” so much. The reason the “Hall of Fame” is here in Cleveland is to honor these legendary musicians of the music they gave us here in the music industry. They deserve the celebration and the honor. If you disrespect legendary musicians and bands, then you have no idea what music is all about what so ever, and you have no right to be a music fan in the first place.
The Hall of Fame is a really special thing. If you hate the “Hall of Fame” so much, that’s just a clear sign that you wish you were a “Hall of Famer” musician and that you will never be there. Every musician that got inducted last night gave advice to other musicians that if you want to be a “Hall of Famer”, you have to believe in your music and stay focus on your dreams, ’cause yes, dreams coming true can be possible.
You have to love and care for your music no matter what happens to you in your life. Your family and friends may think you’re crazy, and delusional that you want to be famous for your music, but if you don’t listen to what anybody else thinks and do what makes you happy, you could be a famous musician down the road.
That’s how all these musicians and bands made the Hall of Fame. They believed in themselves and their music. They came a long road to get here. I loved last night’s “Hall of Fame” show, it was great all the way through.
A few videos from last night. The Metallica performances. Enjoy.

Right! Who hates the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? I don’t. They just don’t have any social relevance or cultural significance and very little entertainment value, outside of being yet another annual stroke fest where celebrities do a circle jerk while fanboys hope to catch a bit of the spray. Seriously, Madonna was inducted last year but Cheap Trick and Kiss have not been? And who let a turd like Eminem in the door, much less give him a platform to speak? I won’t hate them though, because caring either way about this event is a notch below caring about the Grammys.

Joe Perry was up there but no Steven Tyler? It woulda been great to see Tyler and the singer from Metallica trade off on vocals, do a call and response thing. Nice to see Carlos Santana up there too for the all star jam.

Right! I’m going to give away my 8,000 or so CDs and albums to people who care about music more than I do now. Who needs them? I’m putting them up on Craigslist, 1st come 1st served, all for free.
For the record I don’t hate Madonna, though, she just isn’t anywhere in the same neighborhood as rock and roll. If people want to kiss her ass and give her an award like she was important they should make a Pop Hall of Fame, like in Las Vegas. I’m one of those old fashioned people who believes that words should actually mean something rather than convey a convenient purpose. In her case the purpose was generating controversy and publicity for an institution that no one gives a damn about. And why should they give a damn, as long as the Hall of Fame people pull boners like that one?
