    This totally makes my point I made about Slash a few days ago but, I won't get into that.

    The "retarded chicken" dancing goes back to the STP days, at least the last two tours. The "sick cow" sound??? Hell, if I know.......maybe they were all pissed at David Lee Roth for not showing?

    well, I didn't see this performance, but I will say this in their defence. Eddie Van Halen and David Lee Roth were both supposed to be there, but pulled out within the last week or two I believe, so this was kinda thrown together. Then again, it sounds like this was really, REALLY bad and someone with Slash's talent shouldn't be fucking up that badly.
    Hello, I love you. Won't you tell me your name?

    Slash is no eddie van halen.........

    pretty pathetic he couldn't get a song right that hundreds of bar bands can on any given friday night. And I believe they were attempting "runaround" at the end of their preformance but kept saying "around around around" ......and the riff sounded nothing like the original.

    He speaks the truth.. it was cringe-worthy..!

    But again, didn't Slash butcher a hendrix tribute in the recent past??

    Talk about a band that is all lather and no substance..

    How Can it be considered a Hall of Fame if Van Halen is in it?

    I'm sure it won't take long to make it to YouTube......although they just got sued today for copywright infringement by Viacom so maybe not.

    That's a prime example of why Axl ditched Slash and Duff. Velvet Revolvers speach inducting Van Halen was even worse than their performance. Axl will soon be back to bury that asshat Weiland.

    If you listen to Van Halens early albums you will know why they got in. VH Saved the world from disco, kicked ass, and fucked your girlfriend. Thats rock and roll :)


    VR's speech was under 3 minutes, it was awful, like they were reading a press bio. They should have had someone who knows what they are talking about do it, shame on the rrhof for that. ATBL was ok( minus wienerlands crap singing), run around was a disgrace no other way to put it.

    Didn't Slash ditch Axl? Weiland was bad, but I still think VR is a good band.

    Yeah Slash quit GNR in '96, alot of people think Axl kicked everyone out but its not true. Contraband is a bad album IMO and from what I've seen of VR live they are best when doing GNR and STP covers, nothing from them, except Slither, has been any good, such a dissapointing band.

    Less dissapointing than GN'R has been for the last ten years IMO. I saw VR live and it was a decent rock and roll show.
