- 110th street. Hell yeah. #rockhall
- 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 !
- Tough to hear Spooner in the back. #rockhall
- Paul Shaffer to induct Spooner next. Musical accompaniment to speech very cool. #rockhall
- I'll say it again, but Paul Shaffer deserves induction one of these days. #rockhall
- Wanda rocking a pink guitar. Awesome. #rockhall
- Looking forward to Wanda's performance. Going to rock. #rockhall
- Roseanne Cash inducting Wanda. #rockhall

- Robot camera keeps obstructing our view. #rockhall
- Over/under for Lars speech? 10 minutes. Get your wagers in now. #rockhall
- Nice intro by Smokey. Can anyone explain why the Miracles aren't in the #rockhall ?
- Solid #rockhall performance by little Anthony to open the show.
- @Scott_Ian which table are you at? Will you guys get nuts for metallica? #rockhall
- We are underway. Guessing this won't truly be live on Fuse? #rockhall
- A lot of Cleveland pride in the house. #rockhall
- #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.
- No drinks allowed in the cheap seats. Only the $5000 tables get to drink. #rockhall
- @nickjones82 what's the scene in the press room? People sucking down beers in the concourse here. #rockhall

- Lots of mingling down in front of the stage. Kirk H especially social. #rockhall
- #rockhall Flea is here with aqua hair.
- #rockhall attire is still black tie for the diners, but gets less literal as you get closer to the stage.
- Scalperd asking $175 for#rockhall tix.
- #metallica #induction songs tonight? One? Hit the Lights? #rockhall
- If you want to know who might get inducted the next time the #rockhall ceremony comes CLE, go to www.futurerocklegends.com. It's what we do.
- Massive clusterf--k outside with the line to get in the #rockhall ceremony.
- Impossible to overestimate how much the #rockhall inductions mean to Cleveland. Going all out as hosts.
- At the Rock Hall with everyone else in Cleveland. #rockhall
- Why isn't Bob Rock being inducted again? He played bass on St. Anger, right? #rockhall #metallica
- At the Hard Rock for the DMC Brunch.
- @Scott_Ian were you at house of blues last night?
- 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
- A lot of crazy reports about surprise Metallica show tonight. Nothing solid yet. #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
- Still no announcement on Wanda Jackson's Hall of Fame presenter... Time is getting short. Maybe one of the regulars is available?

- 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.
- We'll be at DMC's Rock & Roll Brunch Saturday morning at the Hard Rock Cafe in Cleveland. Hope to see you there. http://bit.ly/hardrock
