The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is good for two things-as an exhibit to experience in person with the amazing collection of rock memorabilia, and as a concert organizer putting together some amazing acts to perform and jam together that may never have otherwise shared a stage. I could care less who gets nominated or doesn't, but I am grateful for that amazing collection of rock history all in one place and look forward each year to seeing who will jam together in the concert they put on celebrating the new admissions to the hall. The nomination and voting process is just hype/marketing to raise awareness and raise funds so they can do the important stuff they do-archive rock history and create a platform for some amazing performances. -M Yes, this is basically the part I like. The actual list of who's making it is a long-standing joke, but they've put together some really cool lineups for the performances. So yeah, the RRHoF roster? Joke, but it's a good excuse for some cool concerts.

I kind of liken the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to the Hard Rock Cafe-nobody goes to the Hard Rock because of the menu or the food. They go to see the cool stuff it has to offer and buy food as the price of admission. No one really cares about the menu of the HoF (i.e. the acts they nominate or select to go in), that's the price you pay to get some cool concerts and a place full of cool musical memorabilia. If you are arguing and criticizing the food or menu at a Hard Rock, you're kind of missing the point. But folks are free to get upset over whatever they want to.

I'd say the relevance of the RRHoF is extremely limited. Like all music award ceremonies and the like, its just the industry glitterati patting themselves on the back, while sat at $25,000 tables, in a shameless attempt to shift more records/streams by a handful of particular chosen acts. It means nothing in the real world whether a band/artist is in or out, outside of the slight novelty of, "oh hey, my favourite band got in this year!" It certainly doesn't actually count as a seal of approval or mark of quality for an artist or band, as far as I've ever been able to discern. But the WWE Hall of Fame is credible, right? You mean the one that includes every WWWF Champion, except Ivan Koloff? Or includes Sharmel but not Missy Hyatt? Yeah, its about as credible as the RRHoF. Or Sandra Bullock being awarded an Oscar. It always boils down to its only as credible as it includes people you like.

"STAND BACK!" I sometimes wonder what was worse, Vince "singing" or The WrestleRock Rumble." You be the judge..... Gee, Hogan was so good he could play without plugging in his guitar! No wonder Metallica wanted him. Pretty bad when Sheik Adnan al-Kaissie is better than both Gagnes! Scott Hall's reaction to it, years later....

Is Supercat alright? He hasn't been around in a while. I'm here, sorry! Got tied up in a music project these last few weeks and been totally buried. I'm finally coming up for air now and was just logging back in today and saw this, thank you so much for asking! My fingers ARE tired from too many heavy metal solos lol! I'm getting too old for this business (and was supposed to be "retired").

Well, the short version is, while I don't play in bands anymore, I sometimes agree to help out friends with their recording projects. The skill they usually want from me is my lead guitar playing ability, though sometimes I help them think through their composition ideas and lay down some scratch tracks they can refer to later. Also suggestions on guitar tone and some "tricks of the trade" you can't always just go Google. This project was for an old friend of mine, and it was that kind of stuff. Kind of Opeth'ish type music if anyone knows that band. It's just a time-consuming process and it's fun sometimes stepping back into it in small doses, but not enough to become a "working musician" again. I do enjoy practicing just for fun though so it does keep my skills up.

Cei-U! Will never, ever eat there again!
