Rock and roll hall of fame

Remember what Chuck Ainlay said about DS when he remixed Alchemy?

No.

He couldn't believe that it was released sounded so bad...

He said the band was incredible. Can’t remember the exact words though.

Howard Stern will induct Bon Jovi and Ann Willson The Moody Blues.
No word so far for who will induct DS.

From Rolling Stone today!

The Dire Straits situation is shrouded in mystery. Group leader Mark Knopfler has yet to comment publicly on the Hall of Fame, though there are strong indications that he does not plan on attending. The Hall of Fame has yet to comment on how they will honor the band in his absence.

At least they're aware that there's no reason awarding somebody beside MK in this case.

[Eddie Fox]

Well, Brandon Flowers will be there, it's highly likely his band will perform R&J or some other song - maybe with a little help from a proper guitarist since the dude from The Killers is pretty weak.

Guy said there won´t be any performance, nor by themselves, neither by any other band of Dire Straits songs.

When did he say that? Last time I checked he clarified that by saying DS wouldn’t perform but other bands were not forbidden to cover DS songs.

Maybe was my interpretation. Just had in the head.

Guy said there would be no performance, just a video presentation.

Yes, but he was talking about DS. Usually when a band doesn’t perform other artists team up and play a couple of their tunes.

No Mark Pick and David.

Lol 25% of DS will attend then. If John would refuse to go, he would make the whole ceremony from epic level to legendary level.

We already knew that the ones going were John, Guy and Alan...

[schmonka]

Is it me or is the fact that MK (and co - the founder members) don't seem to be attending a little sad?

Yes, we all know the brothers don't get on, yes we all know MK steadfastly looks forward with no looking back, yes we know about the Legends (or whoever they are now) - but come on - cant all these guys just forget about all this cr*p and attend the ceremony?  Even if the brothers just come along and shake hands (a performance would be nice - but that may be a stretch too far) - surely I think they could acknowledge the fans and support who bought album after album, attended tour after tour and helped get these guys to where they are now....pretty rich and (financially) living off past glories whether they would like to admit it or not! 

How difficult would it be to shake some hands, say some thanks and show some appreciation....this IS a bit of a special event - come on, how hard can it be.  The phrase "suck it up" springs to mind in this situation.
