The inductees this year in a ceremony that stretched over five hours also included: Mary J. Blige, A Tribe Called Quest, Ozzy Osbourne, Dave Matthews Band and posthumous recognition for Jimmy Buffett, MC5, Alexis Korner, John Mayall, Norman Whitfield and Big Mama Thornton.

Ozzy made it in. So did Foreigner. Cher is okay, she had one good song with Meatloaf.

But why Mary J. Blige? Am I missing something?

I had to scroll all the way to the bottom to find the piece on Ozzy and he is more worthy than anyone else mentioned or anyone else on that stage that night :(

A tribute band to the Prince of Darkness — including Jelly Roll, Billy Idol, Maynard James Keenan, Wolfgang Van Halen, Steve Stevens, Robert Trujillo and Chad Smith — played “Crazy Train,” “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and “No More Tears.”

But who was the guy with "V" guitar?

Jelly Roll….with his out of key version of Mama :doh:What a kick in the shorts :thumbsdown:I thought these guys are supposed to be pros

Maybe but he was more entertaining than Bill Idol, and I love Bill Idol. Billy didn't sound good either. :dunno:
 
They should change the name from Rock and Roll hall of fame to the Pop hall of fame or something. But honestly don’t really care much about it either way. It’s only a a cool little novelty thing when a rock/metal band gets in so it feels like an acknowledgement of the genre.

Trainwreck. And the guy with the V, Andrew Watt...seriously? You got Zakk, Wolfie, Steve Stevens and you let this guy fuckin' play? The RNRHOF is just a joke.

Btw/ I did enjoy the Frampton induction, genuine nice guy. Then of course you Sammy and Demi Lovato murdering some Foreigner songs. Cringe.

Never heard of him. I had to look him up. I see he wrote some songs for Ozzy's most recent album? Didn't see any Ozzy songs that were actual hits. Pretty perplexing. I see Andrew Watt wrote a ton of songs for Post Malone, Justin Bieber, etc etc.

I'm sure he is very talented and he is more successful than I am. :dunno:

But when Zakk did that solo the camera was on Andrew? As if he was playing the solo. And Andrew had his back to audience on a lot of that which really had me going :dunno:

No recognition for Jake from Ozzy? Hell, even in Vegas, he got a 15 gun salute (and that was from a complete stranger). 😜

Sick of that shit from the Osburts, why not be cool and give Jake some props.

Sharon must be evil.

Very true. On a related note I was googling shit about my rig ( Spector Mike Starr NS4 and ‘89 SVT II non pro/810) and I ran across an interview with Mike Inez. He was talking about his time with Ozzy and how great Bob’s bass lines are.

did he also mention that while he (mike) wrote the bass riff for No More Tears it was Bob who recorded it on the album? (and all the other bass on the album as well)

He may be a great producer but I'm still confused why he was up there and also why he was getting so much spot light? I'm also sure he is a much better guitarist than I am.

I'm sorry, aside from Wolf and ZW...that's just plain awful.

Yeah, I didn't post it because I thought it was awesome. No apologies necessary. :lol:

Yeah, I couldn't stand to see Watt onstage and really have never liked him but then I guess he's one of Sharon's newer pets so he's going to be front and center.

Glenn Hughes was in that California Breed band with him for a short while and doesn't seem to be able to stand him, either

I've never heard you play and I can assure you, he's not.

I think Jack Black said something to the affect of Ozzy being loyal to all those that helped...I almost spit my drink out thinking of Bob, Lee and Jake lol.

Sad freakin' fact, if Randy hadn't died they would have ripped him off as well. Plus sorry, just can't get over the fact of Ozzy hitting Randy.

As much as those two albums changed the way I played and felt about guitar, as much as I still listen to them and get those same feelings I had years ago, even appreciate RR more - I've come to greatly dislike Ozzy. I literally listen to those albums as if they were a band and Ozzy was just the front man.

He can blame Sharon all he wants, he was there and it was just as much on him as it was her. He could have always said, pay these people for their work, he didn't.
