    Van Halen is my favorite all time band. I love STP. That was a fuckin disgrace. I watched Slash's horrendous intro and about one line by Scott and had to shut it off. Absolute disgrace. They should have had Sam sing and had Mikey playing the bass.

    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. Go home slash and scott......you guys kinda blow

    Their speech for VH sounded like it was googled or something.....it was obvious they don't really give a shit about the band. Pretty sad VH basically has no peers that care about them.

    it took them near 40 years to induct the ronettes.

    why didnt they simply wait for ed to get his act together, then have them all there , proper , to accept and play together. ? :confused:


    big boos on the van halen front, R&RHOF .

    No more of a disgrace than the fact that those buttfucks couldn't put aside their differences for 10 minutes to play a couple of songs at their own induction ceremony.

    Fuck VanHalen. Unless you're dead or seriously imparied, you should have to man up and play at least one of the songs
    that put your ass in the hall.

    Yeah the whole Van Halen thing was a train wreck. So I get that Eddie Van Halen is in rehab or at the fat farm(have you seen him lately, he's huge) or whatever. But David Lee Roth and Alex Van Halen should be ashamed for not at least showing up. Then watching Velvet Revolver butcher a couple of songs was horrible. Scott Weiland sounded like shit and since when did he start channeling Mick Jagger? And oh yeah can somebody give the guy a cheeseburger and tell him the heroin addict, emaciated concentration camp survivor look is not cool. That was a perfect illustration of just how complicated Eddie Van Halen's guitar work really is, they couldn't find anyone that could play his songs. Even Slash couldn't pull it off. That was a total disaster, but what do you expect from a bunch of arrogant, childish retards that haven't mattered since about 1983. That was disgusting.

    My thoughts exactly...........who was Weiland trying to sing like? Roth?? Sing in your own voice, Scott.

    I was glad to see both Sammy and Michael take the high road during their acceptance speeches.

    I think he was trying to sing like a sick cow and dance like a retarded chicken.
