			<description><![CDATA[Still, it's like Slah said last year (I can't believe I'm quoting Slash to make a point). "I don't give a f*ck but if the fans want it, I'm there" that's paraphrased...<br />
Point is, if hundreds of thousands of DP fans want him there, he should at least consider it...<br>POSTED: 10/12/2012 11:03am]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't blame him at all, I wouldn't blame any of the bands in the same position.  Think about it they have been eligible for 20 years, in that 20 years they probably watched copious non rock acts get admitted in their first year or two of eligibility.  I personally wouldn't give two shits myself, RRHOF is so diluted and fake now it just doesn't carry the same meaning as it did before.  I mean no rock act wants to be compared to the likes of The Beastie Boys or NWA...even if those acts had monumental and ground breaking music.  I don't know if it exists but you would never see Joe Bonamassa getting admitted into the Hip Hop Hall of Fame...<br>POSTED: 10/12/2012 12:59pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ritchie Blackmore is definitely one of my favorite guitarists.  He deserves the recognition.  If he doesn't want to go, that's up to him.  Isn't Rush also declining to go?  Hardly anyone deserves to be inducted more than either Rush or Deep Purple, but if they've been snubbed for this long, they have the right to not want to be involved with them.<br>POSTED: 10/12/2012 01:49pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Now let me get this straight: When Axl Rose decided not to show up, everyone called him an *******/ douchebag/ buzzkill (bare with). But when Richie Blackmore says he won't show up, everyone is like "aw, nvm it's a stupid joke of a show, he's right to not show up". I'm not saying that Axl Rose isn't a douchebag, nor that Richie isn't a genius guitarist, but come on. This is pure hypocrisy.<br>POSTED: 10/12/2012 03:47pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree with him if we the fans want Purple then put them in and remove everyone that isn't even rock. I'm sorry but Michael Jackson shouldn't even be in there just because he played a few songs with EVH and Slash doesn't make him rock his nickname even gives it away for crying out loud the "King of POP". Also, I side with Blackmore with on the paying the bills part if he can pay the bills and release new music that's all that matters because its prove that even though with illegal downloading at an all time high and with him not playing with Deep Purple or releasing new Rainbow material the fans are still BUYING the albums <br>POSTED: 10/12/2012 06:53pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree with almost everything you said here, and I think there are many acts in the R&amp;RHOF that are completely out of place there, but I think Michael Jackson certainly has earned his spot.<br />
<br />
He might not have played <i>hard </i> rock, but a good majority of his pop music is a form of rock music. For instance, I would say that the style present in <i>Billie Jean </i>, etc., is immediately comparable to the style like that of Queen's <i>Another One Bites the Dust </i>.<br />
<br />
Also, are you completely forgetting the fact that the Jackson 5 were <b>HUGE </b>? If they weren't rock &amp; roll, what were they?<br>POSTED: 10/12/2012 07:18pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well, if the Jackson 5 weren't playing Motown rock &amp; roll, then that means that most rock &amp; roll from the first 20 years or so of rock &amp; roll also doesn't count as rock &amp; roll, because it is just as much blues, country, folk, or pop as it is rock. <br />
<br />
Therefore, Freddie King, Albert King, the Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Buddy Holly, Dion, Hank Williams, etc., etc. should <b>not </b> be in the R&amp;RHOF, by your line of thinking. Also, that would mean that bands like Led Zeppelin should only be partially inducted because, although they're inarguably rock and roll, they are just as much blues and folk, and there are numerous full songs in those styles on their albums, as well as being featured in every single song. I would argue that they are below 95% of your image of pure rock &amp; roll. <br>POSTED: 10/13/2012 04:58pm]]></description>

Those are the two line-ups that made the most impact.

			<description><![CDATA[It is a <i>complete </i> joke. The article shows that in itself by providing the fact that Deep Purple hasn't even been inducted into the ROCK AND ROLL Hall Of Fame. The simplest, most memorable early rock riff; the basic for any guitarist to learn when he/she picks up a guitar -- came from these guys (you all know which song I'm talking about and if not, then blasphemy, sinners). How could they not be in a Hall Of Fame dedicated to the best rock bands?<br />
<br />
If I were to make a pie chart about what types of bands get picked to be inducted in to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, it would be split into 4 sections:<br />
<br />
17% Would be "Bands that are not-so-deserving of their place in the Hall of Fame, yet are still there, among the other legendary bands that influenced the inductee but somehow still slipped through the cracks of the R&amp;RHoF"<br />
<br />
22% Would be "Bands that were picked to be be inducted but were 'too cool' to accept the award because they know the R&amp;RHoF is a circus act"<br />
<br />
58% Would be "Bands that aren't even classified as 'rock'"<br />
<br />
And 3% would be "Legendary rock acts that meet the criteria to be inducted (i.e. THEY ARE A <i><b>ROCK </b> </i> BAND) and are deserving of their place there"<br>POSTED: 10/14/2012 08:19am]]></description>

<br />
@WardLucas: I don't know you can even claim to appreciate music when you make a statement like "why is this guy good when he made such an easy but TOTALLY INFAMOUS riff??"<br />
<br />
You're actually contradicting yourself because that's what makes him phenomenal. You try making a riff that popular with 4 power chords.<br />
<br />
By the way, it's nice to meet you, Derp.<br>POSTED: 10/14/2012 08:25am]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Probably because the Hip Hop Hall of Fame would be devoted entirely to hip hop, whereas the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has been to open to all forms of music since day one. By your logic, only actual rock and roll, like Chuck Berry, is deserving of being in the hall of fame.<br />
<br />
Nevermind the fact The Beastie Boys were a legitimate punk band, and still put harder rocking tracks on their albums than half the 'rock' in the Rock Hall of Fame.<br>POSTED: 10/14/2012 04:14pm]]></description>

I think what we should really appreciate is that Rush has finally been recognized and is a nominee. <br>POSTED: 10/14/2012 11:06pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[although blackmore may have the right to do as he pleases he still owes the fans something for allowing him to live the rock and roll dream. w/o the fans hed b wiping pubic hairs off toilets and mopping up vomit and piss so the least he could do is pull it together for one goddamn nite and show his appreciation. <br>POSTED: 10/14/2012 11:42pm]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's amusing to see how people can be so two-faced about these things. Axl Rose was called a selfish bastard (to put it mildly) for declining the invitation, even though he issued a polite statement on his exact reasons. But when Ritchie Blackmore does the same thing, he gets heaps of praise? Interesting to see the double standads. <br>POSTED: 10/15/2012 05:24am]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[See, Axl Rose just refused to play live with the band that made him famous because he's a selfish prick. Blackmore just doesn't see it as important to make an appearance so long as he's making the music that he loves. Can't compare that to Axl's blatant fame-whoring.<br>POSTED: 10/15/2012 07:06am]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Agree with this. He's who he is because of the fans, regardless of what people want to say. He should show respect to the fans.

			<description><![CDATA[I would say sure, why not? A lot of guitar players were influenced by rap music. In one particular interview with Guitar World, Tom Morello cites rap music as one of his biggest influences. In the interview he even jokes that he was originally the "DJ" of RATM because he was playing guitar like he heard it in rap songs.<br>POSTED: 10/15/2012 10:49am]]></description>
