the edited version doesn't even do the catastrophe justice... i caught the VH portion again last night, the edited version, where they have the induction speech intermixed with the live "performances" and it was almost enough to distract from the piss poor VR participation...

Well, the edited version wasn't so bad. It didn't have that uncomfortable feel to it that the LIVE version did.

ditto.....I caught the edited version last night, and for those who didn't see the live show, this version is actually tolerable.

VR should be ashamed. Eddie Vedder did such a great job inducting REM. VH deserved much better, no matter how much they have poisoned their own legacy. They were still, hands down, the best rock band in the world from 1978 to 1996, and few bands consistently produce quality and fly so high for so long. VR could have done a lot better, too. I have heard Scott and Slash speak, and both are quite articulate, Slash surprisingly so. Given that, the tossed-off nature of their remarks was disappointing and shameful.

Yeah, the edit was way easier to stomach. Even WCTBL wasn't as shitty as
I remember it (shudder). And Yeah, VR showed an incredible lack of
imagination and deserved to be cut.

They touched the sound up through remixing and editing, but it sounded a helluva lot better.

It did VH way more justice than VR. OR the rest of VH for that matter.

how still unfunny and insincere is dave kushner's delivery of the tequila/props-to-sammy joke?

How is it that no one (Mike, Sam who were there) or (Dave, Al who were not) has reacted to the slip shod presentation speech by the members of VR not to mention that God awful butchering of ATBL and Runaround? I get why Edward hasn't weighed in but I would have expected to hear from especially Mike and Sam who at least had the decency to be there and represent VH.

Someone posted earlier with regard to Vedder's presentation of REM and I have to agree that VH definitely got slighted. I actually used to like VR based on their first release but I can promise that I'll never spend a dime on them from here on out. And what really pisses me off is that their pitiful performance (if you can call it a performance) seemed to have less to do with the inability to play material outside of their style and talents than a complete lack of preparation and interest.

Not that I would've wanted to see this either but, there are a number of tribute bands that could've done better. It really makes me wonder who at the RRHOF Edward and the boys pissed off for such a ridiculous display to have taken place. Oh well, that's my rant.

Congrats just the same on VH getting in and best wishes to Edward in rehab.

My hunch is these guys want to put this one behind them. What could they really say without drawing serious attention and drama to it?
Someday they will, I'm sure.
