Which version would go into the HOF?

[MotherGooseLuvR]

If Dizzy gets in- Pitman gets in.

Did he play on UYI? Teddy Zig Zag gets in before Pitman.?

I'd honestly rather see Pitman inducted for Zaum anyways.  Not only did he play synths, but he rocked the guitar and sang lead vocals too. 

It'd be cool if GnR were inducted the same night as Zaum.  I'm sure Axl would invite Pitman on stage to jam, even if it was the old band playing.

I think Axl Rose has final say of all the who , what , when , where and why once that time comes. I know that EVH is/was calling all the shots about VH's induction ceremony. It's really in the end who still "controls" or "owns" the band.

Um, no he doesnt. And Eddie Van Halen didn't have a say in shit. Both Roth and Hagar are planning to be there, as well as Michael Anthony. If Eddie had any say he totally would have blocked Hagar and Anthony from being there.

Roth pulled out two days ago because the organizers wouldn't let him sing onstage with Velvet Revolver.

Anthony and Hagar will be the only inductees present on behalf of Van Halen.

Zaum??? You have to be known to get into the hall....

You're funny 

[GNRreunioneventually]

Both "versions", probably. Really, though, GNR is GNR, no matter who is in it.

agreed 

The original band should get in. Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Steven. They created AFD, which put GNR on top. So they should get inducted. I love the current band, I'd prefer to see them play, I saw them 3 times in 2006, but let's give credit where credit is due.

the same could be said for CHINESE DEMOCRACY when it comes out. When it does i'm sure they'll be back on top as they were when AFD came out .................hopefully.

Lusk then. They were nominated for a Grammy once. But was beaten by the Titanic (but hey who wasn't?)

Just because you were up for a grammy that no one has ever heard of, does not make you HOF material...

I know breaking news

[Jackamo!]

Then the Hall of Fame sucks.

[Loaded NightraiN]

Then the Hall of Fame sucks.

You're right!!!

Know what you should do?? Start one of those online peteions.. Stating that if Chris Pitman cant get into the HOF, then it offically sucks!! I bet you'd get half of the members inducted, to sign that bad boy in a heat beat!!

[MotherGooseLuvR]

Why are you trashing Chris Pitman on a GNR fan site?

[DunkinDave]

Pitman doesn't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.

I like him, but that's the truth.

Exactly

You don't  have to be a fan of the individual members to be a fan of GNR. Just look at the people who trashed Buckethead, or Brain for that matter. And he may still be a member.

i think its going to be a really long time before we gnr get inducted into the hall of fame. i think there will be a reunion before we that hapeening.

They're eligible in 2011 or 2012 - so assuming they make it in their first year on the ballot, that's only five years away.

Who knows if GNR will be inducted in 2012 ? Patti Smith released a masterpiece called Horses in 1975 but she's only being inducted tonight...

Regardless of when Patty Smith released what; GNR will be inducted in 2012 because they had and continue to have a bigger cultural impact than Patty Smith. So did REM, so did Van Halen, that's why they're all being inducted closer to their elegibility date then she is.

Saw this the other night on TV, http://www.stereogum.com/archives/002397.html thought this is going to be Guns n' Roses but a bigger news story.  Need not say anything more, but can't see Slash or Duff doin' a Frank Infante, but I think Steven would as would Matt.

[stvyrayvhn]

Until the current line up does anything, AFD will be the only members.

[DazRose85]

It depends how big Chinese Democracy will be, and given how popular members become. If in 5 years things remain as they are now, then the members inducted would be:

W. Axl Rose
Slash
Duff
Izzy Stradlin
Steven Adler
Matt Sorum
Dizzy Reed

These are the band members who are noted for being at the "height" of the band. Gilby Clarke would probably not be included as he made little recorded contribution.

[1987]

i think the new band is great.. but at this point no one can argue that they deserve to be in the HOF.  The rocket queen girl is more deserving at this point.. atleast she has contributed "voclas" to an album that has been released.  clearly the orginal band and maybe matt and dizzy deserve the honor.

You don't know if GNR will be inducted in 2012. Van Halen released their debut album in 1978, 29 years ago. If they decided to induct GNR 30 years after the release of AFD, then it would be in 2017.

By the way, it's Patti, not Patty, and if you check any book about the history of rock you'll see that there are more pages about her than about GNR...

I could care less how you spell her name. I'm not a fan of hers, but you obviously are.

Feel free to take your posts about her and how great she is to a board to discuss her with her fans. This isn't the place.
