Which version would go into the HOF?

[hartman]

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.

Take it easy man.

The inductions into the HOF aren't automatic, there are other factors. Maybe GNR will be inducted in 2012, but it's not certain; it might be some years later (or it might also not happen at all).
That's all.

based on record sales, I'd go with the AFD line up

No one on here said at any time that the inductions are automatic. I'm pretty sure thats common knowledge anyways.

The question has to do with which members would be inducted when GNR get inducted not if they'll be inducted at all. It's pretty obvious that they will be inducted for a fact.

I only hope that they wont ve tributed by some shit band or something, that would suck

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

Why are you trashing GN'R on a GN'R fan site?

Oh hell yeah.

I can't believe this question is even being asked ?!!

The majority of people today wouldn't even be able to tell you "who's in the current lineup" ?!?

Just like w/ anything else........

My vote goes to old school..........

ok but maybe in 2012 the new linup becomes just as big as the orignal. If democracy is a success and we already know that 2 more cd's are being planned after democracy. Anything can happen.

[JDA]

GN'R with Matt and Dizzy.  This will be the lineup when they go in unless Axl and the new boys have kick some ass in the next few years.  Meaning releasing new music not touring.  Which is possible but hasn't looked good.

I'm sure there are many legal permissions needed to use a band's name and likenesses for any purpose, so if GNR were inducted into the "Hall of Fame" as a group any time soon (not very likely) the organizers would be at the mercy of whoever owns the rights to the name, ie Axl.

I think you'll see Slash inducted on his own long before any incarnation of GNR.

[Naupis]

I'm sure there are many legal permissions needed to use a band's name and likenesses for any purpose, so if GNR were ever inducted into the "Hall of Fame" as a group any time soon (not very likely) the organizers would be at the mercy of whoever owns the rights to the name, ie Axl.

That is absolutely not how it works. The RnR HOF can induct GNR when the time comes whether Axl likes it or not, and no...he also won't have a say in what line-up is inducted.

If this is the case 2012 should be out of the question.. 2016 since thats 25 after UYIs were released...

Well, how does it work then?

[25]

It seems to me that, since inductees are "celebrated" by a permanent exhibit in the museum which includes a "jukebox" of their recorded material and a pseudo-documentary about their careers, and since the museum is a commercial enterprise subject to all applicable copyright laws, the HOF requires the co-operation of the rights owners to use any and all materials they choose to exhibit. Therefore, they're only going to induct acts whose rights are owned by people who are willing to play ball. 

[volcano62]

The current line up.

Axl
Robin
Ron
Richard
Chris
Dizzy
Frank
Tommy

Slash will probably get inducted on his own

what have ron, richard, chris, frank or tommy done to deserve making the HOF?.. with robins work with NIN i guess i could see him make it.. but not for his work with gnr.. i like the new line up .. but they aren't anymore deserving than any other up and coming band out there that haven't released an album..  after i hear CD i might think differently but until we that day comes.. i don't think there is ANY argument as to what version of GNR will belongs in the HOF

my thoughts exactly. though i am really impressed with the new line up, it will be the "afd / uyi" lineup that will more than likely be inducted. but who knows ? will just have to wait and see.

The Hall of Fame inducts WHO THEY WANT not who the performer wants.



Axl
Slash
Duff
Izzy
Steven

Maybe Matt and Dizzy

Guys like Gilby wont get in cause they were touring musicians and didnt contribute to what made GNR HOF worthy.


New Members have a shot if a few records come out and they become Huge.

If CD isnt massive, it would be just the original band.

Axl doesnt have to appear with the old band but they'd still be the version that would get in.


A Band is eligible 25 years after their first album is released. So GNR will be up 2012

They also set the rules on who will perform and what will the band perform. So the fans or Axl may not even get to decide. Just look at how the HOF handled Van Halen. Do you think  VR instead of DLR was a move VH wanted?

[25]

Axl doesnt have to appear with the old band but they'd still be the version that would get in.

And the HOF would have a fun time trying to put their exhibit together if any of those band members who still have a say in the use of their music refused to sign off on it. Don't Axl, Slash and Duff all still have a measure of control over that? If so, it would only take one of them saying no to put an end to the idea of GNR being inducted.

does axl even care about hof?  cd could really screw everything up with that if he does, maybe thats one reason we haven't heard it yet
