For Immediate Release:

THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME
ANNOUNCES ITS INDUCTEES FOR 2007

New York -- The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation today announces its inductees for 2007. The inductees are:

- Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five (Kid Creole, Cowboy, Grandmaster Flash, Melle Mel, Mr. Ness, Raheim)
- R.E.M. (Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills, Michael Stipe)
- The Ronettes (Estelle Bennett, Ronnie Spector, Nedra Talley)
- Patti Smith
- Van Halen (Michael Anthony, Sammy Hagar, Alex Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen, David Lee Roth)

The five inductees will be honored at a ceremony on March 12, 2007 at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. Presenters and performers at the induction will be announced in February, 2007. “We couldn’t be more proud to honor this unique, diverse group of rockers, rappers, singers and poets. This is what rock and roll is all about,” said Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation President and C.E.O., Joel Peresman.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on March 12, 2007 will also honor Ahmet Ertegun, legendary founder of Atlantic Records. Ertegun, who was a crucial figure in the careers of artists ranging from Ray Charles to Aretha Franklin to the Rolling Stones to Led Zeppelin, was instrumental in founding and was the Chairman of the Foundation. The Rock Hall Museum in Cleveland’s main exhibit hall is the Ahmet Ertegun Exhibition Hall.

The 2007 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, R.E.M., The Ronettes, Patti Smith and Van Halen were chosen by the 600 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. Artists are eligible for inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after their first recording is released.

In addition to being honored at the ceremony on March 12, 2007, each artist who is inducted is commemorated within the I.M. Pei-designed museum in Cleveland, Ohio. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame displays the signature of each inductee inscribed in glass. In addition, there is an exhibit of artifacts from this year’s inductees, and a multi-media film presentation with highlights from each artist’s career. The exhibit on this year’s inductees will open in March, 2007 and will run for one year.

So it'll be Sam and Dave on stage to accept?
Boy should this be one hell of a show....someone get those contracts signed ASAP.

Note to spED:

Nowhere on this list is the name WOLFGANG.

Got it?

Good.

**LoungeMachine** · 01-08-2007, 10:28 AM

Nor is there a Wolfie listed....

**LoungeMachine** · 01-08-2007, 10:28 AM

Nor a porn publicist......

**Vinnie Velvet** · 01-08-2007, 10:33 AM

Sucks that Hagar got in.

Fucking sucks.

He should be fucking thankful to Dave for basically giving him the lead singer spot back in '85.

But no----fuckhead will open his big mouth and out will come shit as usual.

**LoungeMachine** · 01-08-2007, 10:34 AM

Sam is needed to cock block for Bassplayer.

Otherwise, there could be blood.

The REAL story will be who will be PERFORMING. [and what]

Lounge is right.

I'm telling ya guys if this goes badly we can kiss the reunion tour "buh, bye".

God forbid that there will be a Van Hagar/Van HALEN combo playing a short set.

Van HALEN should only get to play -- no one wants to see Ched shake his bloated self up there.

**LoungeMachine** · 01-08-2007, 10:37 AM

This isn't about your fucking hip, Ell.

No one wants to see Son Of spED either.....

CVH only to the stage please.......

Wolfie may be present in the audience -- I doubt he would perform since they are honoring Van HALEN (and yes, fucking unfortunately Van Hagar).

I hope fucking hope not, but I reckon that's probably what will happen...

**LoungeMachine** · 01-08-2007, 10:43 AM

Unfortunately, if deadward wants him up there, up there he'll be.....

I can just see that fucking control freak wanting his kid up there instead of Bassplayer.

Good one!

2 points for Kip.

**steve** · 01-08-2007, 10:44 AM

I'm torn...

If Hagar actually steps aside, shuts his mouth, and let's the original lineup play...will this ONE moment of class render him respectable in any way, given his VH career of lies, of jealousy, lyrical felonies, and overall lame-ness?

Keeping in mind this is not likely to happen, what shall we do if it does?

But if ya think about it, CVH or Van Hagar don't even have to perform. They just have to do their acceptance speech.

When Sabbath was inducted last year, they didn't perform. Metallica performed some Sabbath cuts if I recall.

**Ellyllions** · 01-08-2007, 10:46 AM

I'll just be happy he did it.

Forgiveness isn't administered immediately.

**Ellyllions** · 01-08-2007, 10:47 AM

Scratch that....I can't forgive Sammy for "Love Comes Walking In", "Dreams", et. al.

**Vinnie Velvet** · 01-08-2007, 10:49 AM

I would prefer that the band (even with Dave) do NOT perform.

Mostly because I think it'll be a fucking circus to see Van Hagar pull off a few tunes and then CVH do another few.

It would look stupid. And it would result in a bunch of problems down to who gets to play first and who closes.

**bantonelli** · 01-08-2007, 10:50 AM

OKAY, well there we have it..........no surprises here.

CONGRATULATIONS TO CLASSIC VAN HALEN.........my hats off to DAVID LEE ROTH.....throughout the history of CVH and Dave's talent and marketing skills, he put them on the Rock n' Roll Map to forever.

Dave IS Van Halen.

That's what I mean.

Think how stupid it would look if it we saw Van Hagar play "Why Can't This Be Love", then "Right Now", followed by CVH playing "Unchained", then "Jump".

**LoungeMachine** · 01-08-2007, 10:51 AM

Technically, Van HAGAR isn't even eligible to be inducted until 2011.

VH v4.0 with Wolfie wont be eligible until 2031.

Dodged a bullet there.

Yes, congrats to VAN HALEN (Dave, Ed, Al and Mike).

Fuck Sammy up his tequila ridden ass!!

**PlexiBrown** · 01-08-2007, 10:53 AM

They should all just not even show up. They should just send a midget to accept.

Actually, why not exploit the opportunity to show just how much better CVH was.......

**RossHalfin** · 01-08-2007, 10:55 AM

I have just heard that David has stepped down from the reunion tour as he was led to believe that it would be just him on stage with Ed, Al & Mike.

This is terrible news, I hope they can patch things up.

Peace

Maybe Dave will send ANIMAL to accept the award on his behalf. Who's gonna mess with him?

I actually hope this is true, although, considering the source ?:confused:

If it were true that Dave is stepping down from the so-called Reunion Tour, I'm laughing like hell...........Dave doesn't take any crap coming from the Dutch Masters.....they may as well do another Porn soundtrack, cuz no one will attend a Concert Tour without Dave being involved.

I'll be saving my $$$ for a DAVE ONLY Tour (for the DLR BAND Re-release)

HA! That'd be great.

And they should invite Ronald McDonald to accept the induction on behalf of Spammy.

This could get ugly FAST. With huge egos in this mix things could go soup sandwich in a heart beat.

Here's to hope that things go well enough not to disrupt the 2007 tour with DLR.
