scrapmetal - 12/10/2005 9:34:46 AM WHile he is one of the better guitarists on the metal scene at the moment,a place on the rockwalk with living legends?Im raising an eyebrow and wondering what it takes (financially or otherwise) to pull the strings for this publicity.I think we all could name at least 20 other artist who are slightly more deserving.
RoscoPColtrain - 12/9/2005 3:50:07 PM Yeah, way to go you fucking wing nut.
HTN - 12/9/2005 8:30:43 AM How much $$$$ does it cost to have your name inducted on that Hollywood rock wall? Just imagine this no-name/below average guitarist sharing the wall with Randy Rhoads and some other classic rock "A" list acts.......what a way to devaluate the seriousness and value of such award for those who have earn it before.
Wolfrider7 - 12/8/2005 11:29:17 PM What???? We should then induct John Oats of Hall & Oats, if this guy gets in. Who's he? Stupid, not a household-name.

trevor12 - 12/8/2005 2:41:52 PM Agreed with Leather Lung 100%, there are some new bands that really know how to play the guitar and Shadows Fall is at the top of the list. Calling someone "clown shoes"....man what a great line! I have to use that one!
