  • Is Ron Wood prepared? #rockhall
  • Who has the better glasses, bobby or dmc? Tough call. #rockhall
  • Spooner-- great musician. Not so great speech. #rockhall Bobby Womack next !

  • #rockhall crowd is here to see metallica and run dmc. Huge applause when Jann mentions them.
  • #rockhall crowd is younger than you would imagine for something like this.

  • Scalperd asking $175 for#rockhall tix.

  • So close, yet so far. #rockhall
  • @KrackerGill Hey - in cleveland, can you get us in?
  • Pre-induction dinner at the rock hall. Apparently rock n roll formal attire = black jeans + concert shirt + black sports coat. #rockhall

  • Will the #rockhall induction ceremony be different since the general public is attending this year? Longer sets perhaps?
  • Rolling Stone reporting Run-DMC will not perform tomorrow at the #rockhall ceremony. Video tribute instead.
  • How about "Train Kept a Rollin" for a jam song? #rockhall
  • What songs can possibly be played at the "jam" at the end of the ceremony?Creeping Death? My Adidas? Tough mix of artists. #rockhall
  • All 5 performer inductees this year were 1st time nominees. The voters clearly like fresh choices. #rockhall
  • On the rainy road to Cleveland...
  • Only ~15% of all inductees are women or have a woman in the group. Is the #RockHall a boys club, or just reflective of the rock demographic?
  • How about a woman to induct Wanda? There has only been 1 woman presenter since 2005, and none scheduled this year. #rockhall
  • Great ceremony coverage from the Plain-Dealer: http://www.cleveland.com/rockhall/ Our coverage here: http://futurerocklegends.com #rockhall
  • These guys have presented the most (5x): Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, Keith Richards, Neil Young

  • Dave Mustaine discussing James and Lars a year ago: http://bit.ly/mustaine || He probably just gets sick of answering the same old questions
  • New #Metallica Guitar Hero ad: http://tinyurl.com/d4ofx6 Can't quite decide if it's awful or great.
