Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

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.

I am usually that asshat in the crowd. Unless I shout out "chopsticks" instead.

Ok, now you've gone TOO FAR!




...and anyway, Winger will get in before Iron Maiden.

Oh, so now the gloves come off.   :lol:

The stooges deserve it, but only because Iggy Pop is really old.

The rest of them, I don't care... except Metallica, which should be immediately disqualified on the grounds that they've been around for 27 years and have sucked for 20 of those years.

Incidentally, what the fuck is up with Little Anthony and The Imperials?  They guys that sang "Shimmy Shimmy Ko Ko Bop"?  Srsly?

Metallica's credibility as a good metal band died with Cliff Burton.  But I suppose, it is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  I'd even concede that if I had heard the Black album, without any prior knowledge of what Metallica had been, I'd say it was a pretty good Hard Rock album.  I would offer no such excuses, however for Load, Re-Load, and St. Snare Drum.

Also, nice going: Ron Ashton is dead.

So, just like the Clash and the Ramones, they won't know the recognition they earned.

Nickelback will be inducted before Sonic Youth is. 

Even though I've already explained that these polls are stupid & arbitrary....this still makes me feel sad.

Never made it as a wise man
I couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing
Tired of living like a blind man
I'm sick of sight without a sense of feeling
And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am
This is how you remind me
Of what I really am

It's not like you to say sorry
I was waiting on a different story
This time I'm mistaken
for handing you a heart worth breaking
and I've been wrong, i've been down,
been to the bottom of every bottle
these five words in my head
scream "are we having fun yet?"

yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no

Woah, that was like, really deep or something.

I want to use Chad Kroeger as a bat, and beat everyone else in Nickleback to a pulp with him.

Then I'd go hunt down their fans one by one. And also that fucko that decided to use "We all just wanna be rockstars" to sell crappy couches before Christmas.

The Hollies
LL Cool J
