IMO - not one of the better years for the HOF. I am not an REM fan, but they put on a nice segment. Eddie Vedder's induction speech was classy.
I don't get Patti Smith, but my Dad says she was the s**&. He introduced me to Led Zep, Floyd, the Stones, Who and CSN & Y etc..., so I'll give him that one.
Was Ronnie Spector drunk? Seriously.
For me Van Halen was the biggest let down. Eddie, Alex and Dave should have been there. Eddie picked an interesting time in his career to try and kick the bottle again. Dave was great as Vh's frontman, but has sucked in EVERYTHING he has done since. I felt that Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar were sincere when they thanked the VH brothers and Roth. Both seemed genuinely happy to be there, and both seemed uncomfortable being there by themselves.
I had high expectations for Velvet Revolver's cover of "Ain't Talkin about Love", and man what a let down that was. What exactly was Scott Weiland doing on stage, having convulsions? The music was OK, his singing was a bit out there. I like Velvet Revolver, I liked STP a lot, but I did not enjoy this performance at all.
Did anybody else watch? What were some high-lites, low-lites for you?
