Guns N' Roses May Get Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Nod

[Turtles! They swim FAST]

Green Day and Guns N' Roses could become eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame if organisers decide to change its rules.

Currently Hall of Fame rules state that nominees can only be put forward if it's 25 years after the release of their debut album.

Now, according to Showbiz411, co-founder and publisher of Rolling Stone magazine and Hall of Fame chief Jann Wenner is considering reducing this to 20 years due to the lack of suitable artists who fit the criteria to choose from.

The 63-year-old is also keen bring bigger and fresher names into as the list of acts become smaller.

This could be great news for an array of bands - including Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins and the previously mentioned Green Day and Guns N' Roses.

However, it may cause upset to those names who are yet to be inducted.

KISS, Deep Purple, Yes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Judas Priest and King Crimson are amongst those who are yet to receive a nomination or have failed to make the final cut.

Of course GnR should get it but Axl has no interest in that, so he said.

Red Hot Chilies ruined their career with their last album, so they don't deserve it.

Green Day makes a mockery of what their music once was so I'd say screw them...

Nirvana is over rated. Period.

Smashing Pumpkins deserve it as well. I fuckin love them. K I'm off topic bye.

Seriously though if Nirvana gets any more recognition for their shit than they already have, I may explode.

there's loads of bands from the 70's they can give it to before gn'r become eligible. the true nature of any rule change becomes apparent when green day are thrown into the mix. kiss or judas priest, for example, wouldnt draw in the kids or advertisers and are being ignored, which kinda sucks.

still, id be stoked for guns to get into the rnr hall of fame. paul huge and chris pittman deserve it for everything they've contributed to the band over the years. if they have any spare trophies i guess they could send them to slash and the guys too.

anyway, cue "now there has to be a reunion" posts.

Why all this hate about Green Day ? I've never understood...

I'm with you on that, Nirvana has been the most overrated band for so long. If ol Cobain had not killed himself the hype would not be so big regarding Nirvana...

listen to there albums.  Its quite easy to understand.

Yeah I've listened, and it's not bad.

A couple of radio friendly songs are boring but I guess that's because I've heard them a thousand time on the radio, I'm disgusted now.

But their albums are ok, I don't know what you people want to hear... It's typical Green Day sound.
Is it because they're more successful than Gn'R ?

Then tell me what's wrong with Green Day... Or are you too retarded to use a few words ?

I just dont care for em, simple stupid pop punk. 


Why dont you go ahead and elaborate on how they more successfull then GnR?

[L_Haynes]

I didn't mind Green Day, wouldn't say Hall of Fame band, but then when albums like American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown hit the light of day i was just like...yuck

[polar]

i like how they need to make it easier to get in just because they don't have material for a show.  how about inducting nobody in if there is nobody they deem worthy.  why just lower their own standards

No, you look just too intelligent for me...

They shouldn't be in the HoF because you just don't care. That's really too intelligent for me, really
You're just... Too strong
