Has Neil been playing the long game this whole time? He's finally paying Ed back for making Neil fill in when he had the 'flu' back in '95.

What is the order of inductions? Guessing Pearl Jam will be last.

If Pearl Jam isn't last the place will be half empty at the end so yah I'm guessing they are last.

I feel like Neil just kinda forgot about this and didn't have a speech ready, so he called in sick

I know there is a heavy level of disappointment in the band here lately, but do people actually care they are getting inducted?
It really means nothing to me personally. Who fucking cares who inducts them? Just not important in my PJ fandom world.
I do hope they play their songs only, and pick ones you can nail.

I absolutely care, and I want the person who inducts them to give a good speech that really captures why they are an important part of music history, how they've been influential, and why they matter so much to so many.

I get that. I just don't know how much I respect the RRHOF.
I never thought Neil was a good choice to induct them. I feel like everyone just wanted to see him jam with them.

I absolutely do not care. But I still want those same things, Stip.

Look, if I can manage to get into the ceremony, I'm gonna do it. I want to be there. I want to see history and see the performance live. Absolutely, I want those things. I want the induction speech to be entertaining and profound and well received, sure. But... none of it really matters to me. If I can't get it, if I can't see the ceremony, if Letterman blows the speech, none of it will matter or affect me. I'll still love Pearl Jam. The will still be important to me and millions of others. There place in rock history will be secure. The Hall of Fame is meaningless and kinda stupid. But I still want it to be fun and influential and all of the things you said above because I know it matters to some people. Maybe it even matters to the band.

I definitely don't care to the degree I may have about ten years ago, but I think that has more to do with how my views on the Hall of Fame have shifted rather than the views of the band.

I've always said they'll stay together to get to this point.

Certainly it's a goal of eds and always had been.


I hope letterman plays that Grammy 'acceptance' speech. That be funny.

oh man im psyched about this..just to see all the guys there exited about it, Krusen, Irons, Dave A....the video by Kevin Shuss was really touching.
Every time something like this happens i get to remember a lot of thing of my personal life that are attached to the band.

Its going to be really special.
