Title: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: snakepiter on November 03, 2006, 10:19:34 PM Why Guns N Roses have not been inducted into the rock and roll hall fame...
it's been 20 years since Live like @ suicide EP??? Snakepiter Title: Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: fif on November 03, 2006, 10:21:34 PM I believe the qualifications for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are 25 years.
Title: Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: CheapJon on November 03, 2006, 10:21:57 PM it has to be 25 years and LLAS doesn't count it's AFD, gn'r can't get nominated before 2012 i think
Title: Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: HamsterDemocracy on November 03, 2006, 10:22:20 PM It is of my most humble opinion that the said band has not yet been guaranteed admission; give it time, give it faith; in due process they shall be faced with this excellent fate. I love them quite dearly, you see; unfortunate, then, that not all agree.
Title: Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: sonny_1313 on November 04, 2006, 10:02:29 AM They are not eligible until 2012. They will get in based on the strength of AFD alone. It is widely considered one of the greatest rock albums of all time, and if the Sex Pistols can get in with one album than so can GNR. The bigger question has always been which incarnation of the band will play at the ceremony. I believe it would have to be the original lineup or nothing because I do not see Slash and Duff sitting quietly in the audience while the new band tears through "Welcome to the Jungle."

They will always hold that record.
No music now, or later will be able to surpass it. There's just not the interest in music anymore, and the generations have changed. For us, the newest album or concert in town was the big deal. Today's kids, it's the newest video game, or internet download.

The RIAA has certified their album 17 times platinum, whereas they've certified AFD 15 times platinum. But, Wikipedia claims that AFD has actually sold 20+ million and hasn't been re-certified yet.

I thought def leppard held the record with 20million albums sold or i think it was either hysteria or pyromania...

It's worldwide sales that count. The US ain't the world. We're atleast talking 40+ million. Is there some kind of story behind Boston selling that much? Their an ok band, but I don't see anything that justifies a frenzy like 17 million copies.

'Pyromania' was Def Leppard's third album, 'Hysteria' was its' fourth. I do believe Boston still holds the record, but 'Appetite' is close to surpassing it. Title: Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: King Axl on November 04, 2006, 11:21:54 AM For what it's worth, I don't think GN'R will get serious consideration for the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame unless there is a reunion of the original members down the road. Given the current state of things, I don't think it will ever happen.

If They get in based on AFD, then SLASH and DUFF are the ones being honored with axl you idiot, I think the new guys in the band would realize that. After all, it is axls. slashs and duffs music. It is dumb opinions liek this that divide fans. Why cant you just admit that the old band is why this is all happening. I cant wait for CD to come out, I hope it rocks, but to act like slahs and duff had nothing to do with gnr is just plain STUPID!

Given the current state of things, I don't think it will ever happen. What is black today can be white tomorrow... The state of things may change in the future.I'm quite hopeful about a reunion. :) Title: Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: 1badapple on November 04, 2006, 12:32:14 PM i think they'll get inducted at some point down the road. I wonder if Axl would even show up.
Title: Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: dave-gnfnr2k on November 04, 2006, 12:51:34 PM Jagged little pill passed AFD by RIAA. Axl really needs re get AFD recertified becaus AFD is around 18m now
Title: Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: Thorazine Shuffle on November 04, 2006, 02:38:13 PM AFD is the biggest selling "debut" of all time. Alanis Morressette released an album before Jagged Little Pill.
Title: Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: The Dog on November 04, 2006, 03:04:49 PM Who cares about the RandR HOF. What a stupid idea. A rock museum is a neat idea, but getting nominated and voted in and what not.....sooooo retarded. Doesn't mean shit to me if GNR gets in or not. The only good thing would be it would mean the highest chance for a reunion gig. Otherwise its not like the Baseball or football HOF where its really an honor to get voted in and the competition is fierce.
Title: Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: snakepiter on November 04, 2006, 03:54:08 PM axl did show for bruce springsteen and even sang with him...why wouldn't he show up in his honor??
Title: Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: Slashead on November 04, 2006, 04:03:17 PM Axl, Slash & co have still 6 years to decide whether they'll show up or not.
Title: Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: acompleteunknown on November 05, 2006, 02:59:59 AM If GNR gets in, it'll be the original line-up minus Steven...with Matt on drums. They'll get it together for one night.
I'm sure we'll be seeing a Van Halen reunion this march. Title: Re: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame + Guns N' Roses Post by: Megaguns on November 05, 2006, 06:39:01 AM If the new band got inducted i would be pissed off, It just wouldnt be right for the new guys to be there. It would have to be the original 5, Maybe by then they can all put their differences aside for just one night.
