Was just watching the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame and this year Metallica, Run DMC and Jeff Beck were Inducted.

Flea (red Hot Chili Peppers) Inducted Metallica with a great speech. The BEST bit? Jason Newsted took the Stage with Metallica again and BOYYYYYY have i missed his Backing Vocals.

Amazing to finally see a band who has had a big impact on everyone enter the HOF

 

Plenty of bands in there thats had a bigger impact tbh!

Good stuff though!

 

True but most of them aren't still together. Van halen got inducted but they weren't even together let alone them performing at their own HOF.

 

Not many still doing sell out tours tho or knocking out no1 albums

Hugely influential and fully deserving

 

Isnt what he said though, there are loads more bands in there thats had a bigger impact on the music industry!

Like i said, still good that metallica have got in there !

 

There are bands in there that are mostly before Metallica who have big influences. However, i just looked through the list of aritist on the HOF Website, WHAT THE FUCK IS MADONNA DOING IN THERE???? She ain't Rock. She's TRASH!!!

 

Nice!

Agree about Jason's backing vocals. Certainly far stronger than Kirk's, lol!

 

Kirk sounds like he's taking a shit when doing backing vocals LOL

 

I suppose you could go both ways really, Metallica are slightly heavier than 'rock n roll' lol!

 

THE first commercially successful speed metal band.......pretty darn influential

 

True but Metal came from rock n roll. Madonna is just unbelievably bollocks lol

 

lol i dont mind her early stuff, i dont mind a bit of pop, 80s stuff etc!

 

Well deserved place!

When are Slayer going in?

 

Alice in Chains would be a good entry!!

 

Metallica are mint i love them.

 

Hell Yeah!!!

 

Saw them at the O2 in march, awesome. I'd have gone to every night they played if I could.

 

They were great, but i can't help but feel that every show is exactly the same apart from the little changes to the set list.

I'm waiting to catch Black Label Society again. Zakk Wylde FTW!!!
