Guns and Roses have the movie Dead Pool, and MTV to thank for the start of their success. I first saw them in the movie and it was the best part of the film for me. I loved these guys when they first came around. I would watch MTV all night waiting for their videos, I believe they made some great contributions to music and do deserve to be in the R&R hall of fame.
Anyone see the documentary on the New York Dolls? It was pretty interesting and ultimately very moving. There was alot I didn't know about the music scene in those days. I didn't really know anything about them before I saw it.
The Rock N Roll hall of fame has confused me for as long as I heard about it. To me it is bizarre that musical artists that really have nothing to do with Rock N Roll are in it and major artists that had everything to do with Rock are not there. Seems like it needs a name change. As for GnR being voted in, I'm just fine with that even though I didn't like ANYTHING they did after Appetite for Destruction. I remember that album being viewed by many as an instant classic when it came out. My favorite song on it, "Mr. Brownstone" never even made their greatest hits.
