Come on! Even though it's an award show, Noone wants to see journey closing this out. Don't they have a singer from American idol or something?
I also won't apologize for wanting to see PJ get top billing or the closing slot.
I'm not disagreeing, but you guys do realize that the core of Journey were the original members of Santana, right? You can dis them, but know the history. Its not happening, but I wouldn't mind Carlos coming out as a special guest with his buddies and blowing everyone the fuck away.
That being said, I don't see how the only completely living, currently relevant inductee isn't the closer. I think it's that simple. PJ is closing. They've already said they're doing a special tribute to Chris Squire (bassist/creator of Yes), and that's not closing the show. Tupac is dead, Joan Baez would put everyone to sleep, journey doesn't get along with their lead singer, and hasn't been relevant in 20 years and I can't even remember who else is going in. PJ is closing. I guess the only question is do they really close with a cover song that while it has become theirs and is a great collective jam song, does still belong to their inductor and not them. If I'm not a PJ fan, I'd be scratching my head at that choice.
Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.
It's usually by popularity. I have no doubt Pearl Jam will be closing it out. They're the obvious choice. 3 original songs and RITFW collective jam with Uncle Neil and everyone else.

Please have Neil learn Alive instead of doing RITFW. Please please please don't end with that cover.

Since Beyonce played GCF before Pearl Jam I have a hard time believing Journey, Perry in-tow or not, will play after them at the HoF. Confession: Journey were one of my favorites back in middle school....looking forward to seeing them for the first time.

I'll "fess-up" too... I was a Journey fan in the late 70's! Even saw them in concert 3 times, once before Steve Perry joined the band!! #ManAmIOld

I agree, I wouldn't mind if they retired it for good honestly.

The only truth I know is you.
