Snubbed
For some reason Hall haters like Eddie Trunk and others seem to think Axl Rose snubbed the Rock Hall. Partly because they wouldn't allow anyone who ever showed up on stage with Axl under the guise of Guns N' Roses to be inducted. No. He snubbed Slash. And "the fans", and of course anyone else who got this whiny, immature Rock God rich.
In 1994 Axl showed up to induct Elton John and played with Springsteen. Now 18 years later he hates the Hall? Not buying it. Maybe he has a thing for Wenner, but this decision is about his colossal ego.
One could say the Hall blew it by letting Metallica and the Chili Peppers have marginal band members inducted. But I doubt Axl thought so deeply along those lines.
He's blown it. The Trunk's of the world might relish this, but maybe if he wasn't kissing Axl's butt so much (did you see That Metal Show interview with Rose?), he would see that Rose has blown an opportunity to give something back to those who have stuck with him.
