HomeEntertainment Music Bon Jovi up for hall of fame induction

[FORD]

KISS, Chicago, Boston, Doobies, RUSH.....

I could go on....

Rush should be in without question. The only reason I can think of why they aren't is that their manager is a fucking asshole (that would be one Raymond Danniels of Toronto Canada)

As for the others you mentioned, they all have something in common keeping them out - the fact that too goddamn many people have been in the band to say who should or should not get in. If it were up to me, it would be the original 4 members of KISS, and maybe Eric Carr because the dead guys always get in. (Yeah, Mark St. John is dead too, but he only played on one fucking record, and it sucked).

Chicago? Only the original lineup, because after Terry Kath died, it didn't matter.

Boston? Tom Scholz seems to think he's the entire band, and he would probably try to keep the other surviving original members out. Brad Delp, of course, would be mandatory.

Doobies? I wouldn't include Mushmouth McDonald, but they would probably do it, just like they let fucking Hagar in as a member of "Van Halen".

as an inducted member, DLR gets to vote for new inductees. that would be an interesting ballot to see.

i'd rather see Chic get in over Donna Summer.

Hail, hail Alice Cooper. I have a bad feeling Bon Jovi is going to go in first try just because of record sales.

sales supposedly don't count. they'll mention it in the blurb about the inductee, but far as i know sales are not to be considered as a measure of their worthiness of induction. it's supposedly about influence, and "the perpetuation of rock and roll." Bon Jovi found a way to get chicks to buy CD's and concert tickets...but is that enough?

Raymond Danniels of Toronto Canada

Fuck Off Ray Danniels !!!

Geezus that was a horrible cover

...It's shit like this that makes me wish the Earth would just fly into the fucking Sun!

LMFAO!

I knew you guys would feel the same. I tried to warn you not to listen to it. But it's like a fucking car accident on the side of the freeway. Even the Bon Jovi fans in the comments were disgusted by it.



For the record, I kind dug Bon Jovi up until Slippery When Wet. I thought the songs "Runaway" and "In & Out of Love" of theirs were pretty cool for the early 80's. But they have been total crap since they got big and catered too much to their female fans...and Jon began his acting career.

[Bob_R]

In a new book released by their former tour manager here's a pic of who Jon was fucking in the 80's.

Yes, that's the beautiful Diane Lane (in the 80's of course)

It shouldn't be enough and i agree record sales shouldn't count. I've just got this bad feeling and this ugly vision in my head of them cheesing it up during the induction ceremony. Personally, i think the New Jersey album should disqualify them from not only the HOF but from breathing.

[Mr Badguy]

Alice Cooper should have been second in after Elvis.

Not just for the music and longevity but for what they/he did for concert presentation.

RaRHOF is a load of shit anyway.

[twonabomber]

Alice Cooper should have been second in after Elvis.

wouldn't have been possible...mainly because of when EP's and AC's first records were released. gotta wait 25 years.

should Cooper gotten on the ballot his first year of eligibility? sure, and so should a lot of other bands, but Jann Wenner and Suzan Evans are fucking the whole thing up.

Ignorant post.

Let me tell you a story young man. Me and my third wife were on a cruise. that is correct my first time on a ship since that fateful day and I got to give the New Jersey album a few spins. and it is quite a good record. remember now I am used to vinyl.

by your way of thinking David Lee Roth should be shot at sunrise for all the shit music he released after his bonehead decision to leave VH in 1985. which by the way was a few days before my 73rd birthday.

Ignorant post.

Then why did you continue to type if you knew what your post would contain?

At least you warned us from the git.

[Terry]

Bon Jovi in the RnRHoF?

Actually, for that "institution" such an induction makes complete sense, and that's not a sarcastic remark.

Just think, next year Posion can be inducted.

Hey, why not? The following year can can see Winger, Warrant and Trixter in as well.

The RRHOF is a joke. Nuff said...

People who keep hoping that real bands get into the "Rock n' Roll" Hall of Fame are just like the people that keep walking into McDonald's in the hopes they get a good hamburger.

Or like people who keep heading into a boulder instead of going around it.

Eventually, you gotta stop doing it. But there's always someone who keeps going...

Cheers! :bottle:

Agreed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What bugs me most about JBJ is he tries to show this pretty boy attitude.
"Hey look, I married my HS sweet heart"
"We support rock against Drugs"
The list goes on..................
How many chicks did this guy nail in every city?? He's likely up there with Vince Neil.
