    I agree OP. Dave A should get inducted but the band has no influence over the decision. However, as a fan, it's hard to argue dave A's worthiness over dave K. Matt is a no brainer.

    Havent seen this topic yet. Good thing a thread was started.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Tired of hearing about it and reading Dave's shitty posts on his Facebook page.
    It's time he got over it ...

    Maybe the right thing to do is play one song with Krusen, Dave A, and Matt Cameron at the ceremony even though Dave A is not going in.

    Christ people. Give it up, already. He's been out of the band with little to no mention from the band for almost twenty years. Why on earth would he be inducted for like 3 years and two albums?
    He hit the drums and cymbals hard. That's it. He didn't reinvent the fucking wheel.

    Because he was a part of the band and made two records with them + SOLAT, Breath and the Evenflow single?

    At the end of the day... it's the band decision to invite him as a guest. And I'm fine with what they decide is best. We have no idea of the real back story. People accept conjecture as fact and assume a lot. The truth is we don't know what really happened. So we should leave it up to the 5 guys in the band to decide. They have the only opinion that counts.

    100% spot on - all this nonsense about 'do the right thing' is only the opinion of people who think they know what the 'right thing' is.

    No one here knows what went on behind the scenes, so if the guys in the band want to have him there as a guest, great. If not, great.

    Enough of this 'do the right thing'.

    Dave A played on Vs and Vitaligy, was fired 22 years ago and contributed to a book that trashed Eddie. He was had some legal issues. He played in about 20% of the bands live shows, was he better than Matt, not even close. I'm sure the band will mention him during acceptance speech but move on. It's not the end of the world.

    Where's the dead horse GIF?

    Also if Dave was so great and talented as his defenders claim, why didnt he land a decent gig after being fired? Some people around here act like he was the second coming of John Bonham.

    IBTL..... again.

    David A. was the best drummer they had (IMO), no offense to Matt or any of the others, but it's not happening. Maybe if he didn't act like a child since being fired he would have been asked to join them on stage. I'd be surprised, but happy, if they did.

    I find that hard to believe. Eddie is a powerful person.

    The posts are kind of annoying. They hurt him more than they help.

    There is already a thread or two on this, no need to create more. And for God's sake find something to do other than worry about Dave fucking A. Good god, people!

    It's up to the Hall, not Eddie or anyone else that has anything to do with the band.

    The RnR HOF voting committee chooses who gets in & who doesn't. This isn't new this year, and is usually a hot topic of debate every year (see Kiss, Blondie, Nirvana etc etc etc) - so no, Eddie had nothing to do with it.


    (if he did though, he probably would have included Jack Irons considering what he did for this band)
