calirush Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 I don't know why but this song came to mind reading the link. I'm not aware of too many things,But I know what I know if you know what I mean.Philosophy is the talk on a cereal box.Religion is the smile on a dog.I'm not aware of too many things,But I know what I know if you know what I mean.Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep.What I am is what I am.Are you what you are - or what?I'm not aware of too many things,But I know what I know if you know what I mean.Philosophy is a walk on the slippery rocks.Religion is a light in the fog.I'm not aware of too many things,But I know what I know if you know what I mean.Choke me in the shallow water before I get too deep.What I am is what I am.Are you what you are - or what?Don't let me get too deep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's important to know what you do know. It's important to know what you think you know. It's much more important to know what you don't know.

lal90RushFan Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 "It's a methodical process." Then: "We get wrapped up in our own shorts about who should be in and who shouldn't be in." Tell me: Exactly how is leaning towards your favorites and disregarding those you don't like a "methodical process"? :sarcastic: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

softfilter Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Blah,blah, blah complicated methodical process.. BS,,, Influence & quality is really not that difficult to research.Guess what, I'm a rock critic also so guess I'm over qualified and "know to much"Professional rock critic silly, like they somehow know better then the general public. It's all just a matter of opinion and being open minded enough to at least appreciate and respect a band or artist, even if there not your personal favorite.

rushgoober Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 They may know too much, but obviously they don't know enough to let Yes, King Crimson, The Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, Kiss, Deep Purple, etc. in. That's all I really care about in terms of their knowledge base. :eyeroll: And don't get me started on Cat Stevens, Tangerine Dream, Can, Captain Beefheart, Brian Eno, Cocteau Twins, etc... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I kinda get what he's saying but it sounds so stupid and it shows that they actually believe that they're the all-knowing musical geniuses that they aren't.. Rush was snubbed for years because those idiots' ridiculous reasoning "you can't dance to it so its just noise".. But Rush only got bigger and now they have no choice.. Shows how much they really know ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that they have almost a "NO PROG" policy, I can understand why they wouldn't nominate KISS, but the others you mentioned are inexcusable, they induct Guns n Roses, and Metallica, but no King Crimson, Rush, Yes or ELP?

rushgoober Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 It's kind of funny, they release a statement that is supposed to be a blanket excuse of why certain people aren't in the RRHOF yet, but really it makes everyone think they're more full of shit then they already did. Time to fire their public relations people. ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to fire their public relations people. ;) The fact that they felt the need to release a statement attempting to explain the induction process is more revealing than what's in the statement itself. If acts were truly inducted based on "impact, influence, innovation and excellence" there wouldn't be any controversy about the Hall of Fame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm not the metal fan I was in my younger days, Maiden and Priest had a HUGE impact and influence. The only reason I'm not more vocal about them getting in is because there's still some MAJOR acts that pre-dated them that deserve to get in first. Regardless, they deserve to be in without question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I just thought of a couple of major names to point out the neglect of the genre as a whole. I am too not the "Headbanger" I used to be back in the day. Besides I had more hair to shake around in the pit then too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
