Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2010: No More Mr. Nice Guy.

[Bruno]

Do they really want them to play Freebird, or are they just trolling?

Edit: You know, if Chevy ever came out with a truck and called it the Chevy Freebird, it would be the best selling truck evar.

[LMNO]

Back in the 90s, I was in a band that learned a 30-second ska-punk version of Freebird, which we would launch into any time some asshat shouted it out.

Good times.

Also, I hope everyone who voted for Aerosomith in 01 is voting for Run DMC.  For better or for worse, they resurrected their sorry-ass career in the 80s. 

And as for Metallica, yeah they suck ass now, but Puppets and Lightning still rule.  I wonder if they will invite Newstead to play. 

Concerning Aerosmith: the Run D.M.C. resurrection doesn't count, because ever since that video, Aerosmith has been a shell of what it was in the 70's. Also, they don't do drugs. No junk, no soul.

As for Metallica, I'm all for inducting the first 3.5 albums into the Hall of Fame, so long as none of the band members are invited to the party. Except Cliff Burton -- maybe Run D.M.C. could look into resurrecting him.

[LMNO]

One would think they'd be more interested in ressurecting Jam Master Jay.

You can't resurrect a Homie, because if one of them came back to life, think about all the alcohol that would then be counted as 'wasted' after being spilled on the ground in his memory.

Or the general gang riots on who would rush to kill said homie the 2nd time around.

Not necessarily, Eminem could bust a cap. 

[Iason Ouabache]

you know, if you put together an all-star "died in a helicopter/plane crash" band, it would rock pretty hard.

Ok, no John Denver though. He can stay dead.

That's why I said "for better or for worse"  The best thing they did post-Run DMC was when they covered one of their own songs, "Sweet Emotions"  Although, I have to say, the blues album they did wasn't that bad. 

[tyrannosaurus vex]

Honkin' on Bobo was good because they only wrote 1 song on that album, which is the one song that sucks. I still contend that Aerosmith's problem is they keep letting other people write their songs. All the good ones are Tyler/Perry and nobody else.

[AFK]

As long as we don't get some sort of undead "Freebird" jam.

Lol, do you know how many fucking concerts I've worked and had to deal with the drunks on the barrier of the floor going, "PLAY FREEBIRD!" And it's like...a fucking Linkin Park show?   

Though I'd have to admit if LP ever for some strange reason attempted Freebird, I'd have to give them a golf clap.

When I was in High School we had this Flamenco guitar dude come in and play at an assembly.  First things first, he must've been the only Flamenco guitar playing dude in all of Northern Maine.  Anyway, at some point he foolishly asked for requests, so a bunch of us started yelling out silly suggestions like Freebird, Stairway to Heaven, Run to the Hills, etc.  We did this again when the Christian Rock band played later in the year.  No, they did not know how to play "Raining Blood" by Slayer.

Well also that they can't just play rock and roll.  They've gotta work in all of the movie-sountrack pap and schmaltz into their music.  I mean, the only way I could tell the songs apart back in the early 90's was to remember what it was Alicia Silverstone was doing in the video. 

[tyrannosaurus vex]

True. They keep trying to reinvent themselves to stay current, which is lame because everybody just wants to hear Walk This Way, Sweet Emotion, and Back in the Saddle on repeat. If they want to quit losing their career every 5 years and having to make more comebacks than Meat Loaf, they should just hit the fucking coke and write more spaced-out rock tunes.
