Congratulations Van Halen!
This topic is soley meant to be for giving props to the band for their HoF induction. The "Hall" might be a joke to many, but its still one of the highest honors bands/musicians have.
I want to congratulate Edward, Alex, Michael, Dave and Sammy on getting inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
You guys have brought much enjoyment to my ears for 25+ years and still counting.
There have many highs and lows, but throughout it all you are still my alltime favorite rock and roll band.
I hope that all of those attending tonight's ceremony can put aside any differences for just a few hours and act cordial to one another.
I hope that if he does attend that Dave can just reach out and shake Sammy's hand and congratulate him and likewise for Sam. Without either one of them they might not be there to begin with.
Sammy kept the Van Halen train rolling after Dave "quit" the band in 1985 and he deserves to be there as much as Dave.
Nowadays it seems that Sammy is content on being a solo artist and wants the classic/original Van Halen lineup back together again.
Mike was/is as instrumental to the sound of VH as either lead singer was and was one half of one of the top 5 rythym sections in rock history with Alex.
We all know what Eddie has done and meant to us as fans in his amazing career, and now more than ever we should support him in his finally realizing the demons he has and the turmoil they have cost the band. Heres hoping that all will be well when he is once again well. Good luck Eddie.
CHEERS TO VAN HALEN, AND CHEERS TO ALL THE VAN HALEN FANS FOR REALLY MAKING THIS DAY POSSIBLE TOO!'Old Van Halen, when I was in it-classic Van Halen-makes you wanna drink, dance and screw, right? And the new Van Halen encourages you to drink milk, drive a Nissan and have a relationship.' - David Lee Roth.

Congrats boys
There wont be too many differences at the table tonight though...mainly because Sam and Mike will be the only ones attending.
It's been long overdue...My man, when you are fantasizing, don't go for attainable, you can get attainable at the local Applebee's. - Dave's Dreidel

It would be a huge PR move if they all showed up and stood on stage together. Even if all they did was lean into the mic and so thank you. I guess it's understandable if Ed doesn't make it though.
Congrats boys, you made some of the best music in the history of rock!!!!

This morning, I thought "This day is all about the music and what the boys have accomplished - so fuck all this soap opera shit!"
I don't care who's going to be at the induction or not, I don't care who badmouthed whom in the past - tonight's all about the boys. So congrats to Ed, Dave, Sam, Mike & Al and all the best to every single one of you!
