Thats not what Axl said

GNR of yesterday will be there. If Axl doesn't want to do it, Im sure they will grab Chester or somebody to do a couple songs with them.

I think for one night, everything should be put aside for a couple songs.

They are no longer in GNR so they have no right to represent the band there with someone else other then Axl. If he does not want to play with them, he should play with the band he has at the time of the event.

Those guys won't be in the hall of fame. The Hall of Fame will recognize the original lineup I am sure and maybe Dizzy/Matt Sorum. If he doesn't want to do it, they will do like Van Halen when they refused,t hey will get some bullshit whatever to perform and that would suck.

Axl should just agree to stand on stage with the old gnr. Then say thank you to everyone. But, before walking off, he should turn to Slash and punch him right in his fucking face and kick his ass like he said that he would..

[Izzy]

Poor Steven, its very sad that he still is an addicted after all these years

...and heroin of all things

Its incredible he is still alive

Its also very sad he believes in a reunion - the guy needs to move on

Axl's been kicking his ass since '96.

Is it so that just because gn'r is eligible to get inducted they will get recognized right away?

I mean, if Axl wait with the induction seremony a few years, which i think he could and should, the new band will have done more than enough so they could go and do the thing with honor and pride. NOT taking anything from the old guys wich would of course also be recognised.

How does bands usually handle this usually done in similar situations?

Didn't Van Halen's induction sturn out pretty bad? All I remember fram that show was a fuckin' horrible disaster of cover Ain't talkin bout love.  Poor Van Hale, what a joke that was.

I hope to god gn'r doesn't fall in the same trap so to speak. It's cool to know that they're eligible and all and even cooler that they don't really want the "award", but no matter what: This is not the time in my opinion.

Bands have no say about the Hall of Fame.

Members inducted are ones that are said to contribute to the band's success the most.

For example, Gary Cherone didn't get inducted in the Hall of Fame with Van Halen cause he wasn't considered an integral part of their success.
same with the new members of GNR, maybe by 2012 things will change, but as of right now, it would be the original band with maybe Dizzy/Sorum but I'm not even sure cause they don't really have any significant writing credits.

A similar situation happened with Blondie a few years ago, details can be found here:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/03/13/entertainment/main1397573.shtml

"Blondie's induction was unusually ugly. The band reformed in 1999 behind leaders Deborah Harry and Chris Stein but left out members Frank Infante, Nigel Harrison and Gary Valentine. Infante and Harrison sued unsuccessfully to rejoin.

They all stood onstage uncomfortably Monday before Infante pleaded with Harry to let the outcasts perform one more time with Blondie.

"Debbie, are we allowed?" Infante said.

She curtly refused, and Infante groaned loudly before leaving the stage. The now red-haired Harry seemed alternately crestfallen and angry as she performed the band's hits "Heart of Glass," "Rapture" and "Call Me."

"They wrote themselves out of the band history, as far as I'm concerned," Stein said later backstage. "They should have a little bit of honor. This is supposed to be rock 'n' roll. This is supposed to be friendly. This is like going through the trenches together."

Dizzy does

The Hall of Fame is a sham anyway.

[GNR4L]

It doesn't seem that Axl would go to the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame when it happens.  I would really like to see, the new guy's be there but I don't the other so called fanbase would.  Adler's wants his job back... well I it won't happen there's a reason he got fired, if they let him back in hypothetically he would continue with this drug habits.  Adler buddy quit living in the past and take care of yourself.

[ecwfan]

It reminds me of the Credence Clearwater Revival/John Fogerty deal. CCR's original members wanted to play but Fogerty refused and said the only way he'd play is with his new band behind him. One of the members of CCR said it best and claimed it was disgraceful and that he'd never forgive Fogerty for ruining the moment. I believe it was suggest John perform a song or 2 with them ....then his new band and he shot it down.

Ultimately of course the Old Guns are what made the band successful, but who know's in a couple years how Chinese Democracy will do ?  It could be that both bands be their respectively and play with both.  I just don't see Axl going anyway, doesn't seem like his type of thing.

Look what happened after he went in '94.  Homeboy didn't show his face in public for years after that!
