Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame

Yes, it's now official, Guns N' Roses will be inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 2012. It was their first year of eligibility (25 years after the publishing of their first album), that is to be noticed: not a lot of bands have this honor.

The inducted members are Slash, Axl Rose, Izzy Stradlin', Duff McKagan, Steven Adler, Matt Sorum and Gilby Clarke; that's to say the Appetite For Destruction lineup cumulated with the Use Your Illusion one (except for Dizzy Reed). 

« Thanks for all the R&RHF mentions, Its quite an honor to be inducted », says Slash on Twitter. Axl even made his tweet counter soar –yes, he posted a tweet– saying: « I'd like to thank the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame and our fans. This is your victory ». And Duff said, « Thanks to all of you for the overwhelming number of 'congratulations' that I have received today. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Life is good! Killer! »... Duffily said. Yeah, the guys seem quite happy...

But what then? What will happen at this fn' induction ceremony? First, will they all be there? In an interview, Steven says that he doesn't foresee it. A few lines lower, he points at Axl's attitude towards Slash and defends his "brother": « He holds no grudges towards [Axl] ».
'What'll happen to us baby, guess we'll have to wait and see...'
 Cheers, Lea
