django49 Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 So, with all the acts that have been inducted, how have they failed to recognize the Masked Marauders? Who has been paid off? 🙄   Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie G. Moseley Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 That album was a Kim Fowley con. YMMV And if the R&RHoF was egalitarian/democratic, Paul Revere & the Raiders and Grand Funk R.R. would have been inducted many years ago. I stopped paying attention to that yearly corpulent blob of self-indulgence/self-entitlement a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeboy Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Weren’t the Masked Marauders a pro wrestling tag team duo in the WWWF  ack in the 70s? Or was it the NWA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbonesullivan Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 They are a bunch of tools, which is why people like Tupac are in the R&R hall of fame. They want publicity and fans, so they hold off on inducting people so they can always have a nice marketable slate every year. Steve Miller had nothing good to say about how they treat the actual artists and bands they are inducting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

django49 Posted November 24, 2019 Author Share Posted November 24, 2019 It IS amazing how many people fell for the fake review in Rolling Stone and ended up actually rushing out to buy that record. This would be the 50th anniversary of "The Fakest Band of 1969". 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FGJ Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I view all entertainment awards shows the way I view those star directories. "Ooh, look, my boyfriend had a star named after me!" No, you dumb broad, he was just scammed into paying someone to write your name in a book that anyone could have had printed. I could self-publish a star directory and collect money from suckers to "name" a star after them, too, and my directory would be just as legitimate as anyone else's. In like fashion, I could go create my own R&R Hall of Fame and induct anyone I like. What makes their "hall of fame" inductees any more legitimate or worthy than mine? Because they broadcast it? Awards shows are all narcissistic exercises by elitists who believe they matter beyond the entertainment they provide. Watching a monkey run around with a tin cup is very entertaining, but if the monkey could speak, I wouldn't care to hear its opinion on life, politics, or who it believes it worthy of special recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for the big "Thanks, but no thanks" by a major and genuine rock and roll hall of fame artist or band. The Hall would admit the occurrence in an exhibit (a symbolic induction) and the artist/band would get some real mileage out of the one finger salute.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Haynie Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Alice Cooper said in an interview it would be cooler to be kicked out of the RnR HoF than it would be to get voted in. Now, he and his original band members cannot help themselves when it comes to bragging about being inducted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveL Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I have a ramones documentary,  one of the segments was that they had cameras filming their induction.  Cant remember which one but seem to remember them having to buy two tables at their own induction   Oh wait.  It’s a non profit so it’s a donation rather than a shakedown.     Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the ladder of life Mike Love isn’t qualified enough to shine Paul’s shoes.  3 hours ago, Steve Haynie said: Alice Cooper said in an interview it would be cooler to be kicked out of the RnR HoF than it would be to get voted in. Now, he and his original band members cannot help themselves when it comes to bragging about being inducted. I actually think that is just schtick. From what I’ve heard, Cooper doesn’t take himself too seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
