mike is right. dave was a member during the most critical years of the band when alot of us became fans and was a GREAT drummer. he deserved to be inducted.
I don't think this will get closed. it's not gossip, it's not bashing. it's fine. I for one was happy to hear Mike's take on it. it was refreshing.
Agreed.

Why would this get closed? Absolutely no reason to hide the past and facts. Everyone needs to stop playing moderator and either contribute or carry on.
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.
Since it has already been explained why threads are closed I’m not sure if someones trying to be funny or what. Either way lets get this thread back on topic. Thank you.
It sounds like Mike shares and is expressing the majority opinion: That Dave deserved to go in and should have gone in. For the most part that wasn't really in doubt. At least I never read or heard a credible case that he shouldn't have gone in. All the drama revolved around why he wasn't going in, why he wasn't coming to the ceremony, who was to blame, etc. Very little of it had to do with whether or not he deserved to go in.
He and Jack. Two albums and tours each. Jack was there and played on the jam at the end-seemed like he didn't give a toss about it as he was already in with the Chilis. Mike's always seemed like the most approachable. Seems like he'd have been the Kirk Hammett like mediator back in the day when things were crazy. A lot of groups need someone like that.
Stars are suns to other people.
