Velvet Revolver sabotaged David Lee Roth's moment
March 24, 2007 10:29 PM Filed in: 2007 Ceremony

Backstage at the 2007 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, Scott Weiland of Velvet Revolver attempted to explain the reason why David Lee Roth wasn't there:

"We were asked to perform. Kinda what happened was, [David Lee Roth] wanted to sing the song 'Jump.' We felt from an artistic standpoint, and I'm being totally honest with you, that it wasn't a song we felt comfortable with. We don't have keyboards. To bring a keyboard on stage wouldn't work for us. We said we'd do 'Janie's Cryin' ' or 'You Really Got Me,' and he was adamant that wasn't OK."

Weiland, how about you pick the songs you want to play when you get inducted into the Hall?

I Can't Drive 55 should be an essential song.

Sammy Hagar should absolutely be in HOF. He has frickin decades of amazing music. The HOF is a joke if not in there by next year. E

Sammy should've been inducted before Van Halen & is still kicking a##.
Puzzling the ignorance of people posting about other artists under Sammy's name just shows how jealous they are that he's so good.
They've probably never seen him play live.

Hell yes! Sammy's solo work kicks ass. Should definitely be in as a solo artist.

Sammy Hagar was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame with Van Halen. He really didn't do much outside of Van Halen except "I Can't Drive 55" and that was before he was in Van Halen.

Sammy Hagar was in Montrose!

Sammy Hagar is rightfully deserving of being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an solo artist at sometime down the line.

Who cares? Sammy, Ozzy and Robert Plant not in as solo artist proves the Hall is a joke.
