Joke N' Roll Hall of Fame Announce 2012 Class

I don't like the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame. I never have because it is more about TV ratings for the ceremony itself and getting publicity to sell tickets to the museum. Sure maybe acts deserve to be in a legitimate rock n' roll hall of fame, but when they sit alongside ABBA...it's officially a joke.

With that aside here are the 2012 inductees. Guns N' Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, The Small Faces/Faces, Donovan and Laura Nyro. Freddie King. I believe each act has their own merit for being in some hall of fame. I will guess that the lineup inducted on Guns N' Roses would be Slash, Duff, Axl, Adler, and Izzy. I wouldn't care if Matt Sorum was also inducted, but what about Gilby Clarke, Dizzy Reed, DJ Ashba, Bumblefoot, Buckethead, Bidetface, and so on. Do they also get a shot at the hall of fame because they were on Chinese Democracy? It is a "Guns N' Roses release" after all.

I guess we will find out soon enough, but one thing I am sure WON'T HAPPEN...a full reunion. Axl already issued his thoughts on the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame in the hour long interview he did with That Metal Show and his thoughts are the similar to mine. I doubt he will even show up or issue a statement about it. Axl said this: "I don't know what it means in terms of me with the old band and the old lineup. If we were to be invited, I don't know what they would ask of me. It's up in the air."

Adler, of course, wants Dizzy Reed and Matt Sorum inducted:

It would mean so much to me if he did. Izzy too. I know that Duff and Slash will show up. They're basically normal human beings. Izzy is a gypsy. He's happy doing his own thing and he lives life to the fullest. Izzy is one of my heroes. I look up to him more than anybody. Steven Tyler and Izzy are the two coolest people that I've ever met or ever wanted to be influenced by. But Axl… it would mean so much to me. I personally just want to finish what I started with those jack-offs. We started off something, let's end the career playing together, at least once. I'd love to do a whole tour of the world. I personally, and I know that Slash and Duff feel the same way, we owe it to the fans to do a tour around the world. We haven't performed for over twenty years and they've stuck by us and believe in us. I get tweets every day from people around the world saying how much they love the original band. When it comes to after I left, I do believe that Matt Sorum and Dizzy Reed both have every right to be inducted, too. Dizzy did play on "Use Your Illusion", and he's been with Axl longer than anybody. He deserves it. Matt Sorum also played on "Use Your Illusion". I think that the seven of us deserve it. I was just texting Matt Sorum in Australia. I'm going to play with him at The Roxy next week with CAMP FREDDY. He invited me to come down and play. He's a great guy.

I think the only advice I do have is stay tuned and I'll post the video on here when I get it. It will surely be explosive.
