Rock and Roll Hall of Fame live thread

Recommended Posts

Green Day's induction speeches were fantastic. From the heart and very sincere. I loved it. I teared up when each of them got a little emotional. I mean, Tre ... emotional, just not what we're used to seeing. The Ford shoutout was perfect. These guys have meant so much to me, in a way that only you guys can appreciate, and to see them get recognized by the Hall of Fame is very fucking special. We recognize them as being great songwriters, able to write and perform music that connects with millions of people. For me it was a connection that opened me up to an entirely new way of looking at life and myself, and feeling just a little less alone and weird. To a teenager in bumfuck New Mexico, that's very powerful. Their music has been with me for all my adult life. I'm glad they got recognized the first year they were eligible and at a point when they're still looking to the future as a band and musicians.

I don't think they cut really any of green day's speech, but I did notice they cut some of fall out boy and I think little bits of the performance.

Really enjoying pretty much all of these performances. Thought what the first member of the blackhearts said about miley's speech was totally innappropriate and uneccessary but other than that it's been really great.

Oh it was really surprising to see john just balling his eyes out. That's a special thing. Almost teared up a bit.

Seeing John made me tear up. I was actually shaking too.

The full speeches were better, because these were edited. However! Seeing them cut to family and friends (the Armstrongs, Brittney, Larry, John Kiffmeyer) was very lovely to see. Really added to the emotion to see their friends and family with tears in their eyes.

He doesn't fuck pigeons, per se. I hear he just gently fondles them.

That. Was. AWESOME!

My cheeks actually hurt from smiling the whole time. :D Their speeches were absolutely perfect. Tre mentioning John Kiffmeyer was super cool of him. Also, the love between Billie & Adrienne is so fucking precious I teared up when he mentioned her (and the kids).

As for their performances, they sounded fantastic! When I Come Around is one of my favorites, so I'm really glad they played it. The whole thing was just epic! Thank god for DVR. Im sure I'll be watching this 50 billion more times this week.

10 highlights from the 2015 induction ceremony

Paul McCartney Shouting “Oi!” During “American Idiot”

Green Day’s three songs were all pretty great (“When I Come Around” remains one of the five best songs written in the entirety of the ’90s), but there was a particularly charming moment during “American Idiot” when Armstrong encouraged the crowd to shout “Oi!,” a classic punk rock exclamation. They cut to the crowd, and while not a whole lot of people were actually participating, Paul McCartney was not only doing it, but he was also encouraging other people to do it, proving Paul McCartney should be invited to every party.

I was going to order HBO so I could DVR it and use my DVD recorder to burn it, but then I saw HBO is gonna be free June 19-22 so I figured I'd wait until then and watch/tape it from On Demand. Since, yknow, I already knew what happened :lol:

Edit: Video already taken down, HBO doesn't fuck around!

Wow, how long has it been since Billie actually sang the first verse of American Idiot?

It was weird to hear him sing "calling out to Idiot America" live, too!

The only part of their speech that I could tell they cut down was when Mike thanked Michael Mayer and the American Idiot show, which made me sad. I was hoping they would pan to Michael like they did for Larry and others.
