The surviving members signed a deal with the devil (Saul Zantz) essentially screwing Fogerty.
Can't blame Fogerty. He wrote every goddamn note ,and beat for that matter. Those fuckers would've NEVER seen a stage other than their local bar if it were'nt for John Fogerty.
Fuck them......
Yet they couldn't put their differences aside for one song.....
Originally posted by hideyoursheep It always does.
Anyone remember the circumstances surrounding the CCR non-performance?
Same shit as when Blondie accepted her HOF award and she didn't let a few of the original members (who were part of her honored entourage play on stage - as she told them on national TV she already has a band...
The TV producer is making sure he's in charge, despite the honoree's requests.

Yeah, I have to say I am pissed off that DAVE will not be in attendance to accept the award on behalf of CVH. It's his night to shine, certainly NOT SPAMs, yet that Fcuktard SPAM will be the one to collect the award with a big ass grin (as if to say, it may have been Dave who helped lay the foundation, but it was SPAM who brought VH to a brand new level and style of Rock that accelerated their popularity.)
Dammit, Dave, Get your ass up there and accept that award on behalf of YOUR Band and CVH Fans. You are the Frontbumper and YOU and ONLY YOU should represent yourself and the Van Halens on that Stage!!!

I don't care which side is the truth but if the HOF gave him a choice to perform with VR or the house band then he was right to tell them to fuck off. Why agree to sing a damn cover song with another band or "Jump" with again, another band. They're not being inducted because of either. If there were any song that should have been performed by Dave with or without VH it should have been an original off the first album because that is why they belong there and "RWTD" is the perfect choice for either situation. Who the fuck are they to give him that kind of ultimatum? Why should Dave bother when they've made accomodations for practically every other artist ever inducted based on their situation but now all of a sudden say, "NO"! It's not even about which (if either) version should perform as stated earlier in the week because Hagar shouldn't be there nor does he deserve the honor of attending yet they've gone out of their way to make sure he wasn't left out of this suppesed "honor" which is complete bullshit because he hasn't earned it.
If they are gonna induct Van fucking Hagar then Poison shouldn't be to far behind. We all know the VH selection is because of the first six albums which Sam Hagar was not a part of and even if his version had never played a single note the original band would STILL HAVE BEEN INDUCTED so the hof can fuck off.
Ahhhhh...this makes sense. They already had it out for Dave from the beginning, if these are all subsidiaries of CBS, Inc., and under the Les Moonves umbrella.
Despite what anyone says, I have read Dave's book, listened daily to his Radio gig and everything I have heard him say has always been truth. He's a no bullshit kinda guy. I respect the hell out of him and I believe that his reasons are valid for him being disheartened at the scope of these Ceremonies and the TV spot. Nevertheless, I want him on that Stage and would love him to grab all 3 min. 22 seconds + his appreciation speech runs over time, so that SPAM is silenced.

Originally posted by bantonelli It's all a big mystery to me, but I'll give ROTH the benefit of the doubt on this.
I think the Television Producer was probably not flexible in letting the artist(honoree) handle things or it could be that Dave wanted all the air time that the producer felt SPAMtard should share ?
It's another letdown for us. It rips my heart out that Dave doesn't go up and accept the award on behalf of CVH.
