Au programme, Jeff Beck à genoux devant Buddy Guy, le Jeff Beck Group au complet avec Billy Gibbons pour "Foxy Lady".
U2 pour "Because the Night" avec au chant Springsteen et Patti Smith.
Springsteen et le E-Street Band au grand complet avec John Fogerty pour "Fortunate Son".
Metallica et Ozzy pour "Paranoid".
U2 et Jagger sur "Gimme Shelter",
Springsteen et le E-Street Band avec Tom Morello pour "The Ghost of Tom Joad"
etc. etc.
Quelle chance d'habiter le Nôôôôôôôôrd et de choper les chaînes de nos belges amis.

C'est marrant, Marc Izaye me fait penser à notre Doc bruxellois ;_)

Y'a eu des bons trucs, d'autres plus discutables (Metallica ferait bien de s'en tenir à son propre répertoire, et parfois U2 aussi - quel massacre ce Gimme Shelter ramollo, c'est encore Fergie qui a dynamisé le tout, ce qui indique la gravité de la situation ). Par contre, Springsteen, tu mets cinq cents dans la machine et après faut le descendre pour qu'il s'arrête .
En fait, j'avais déjà vu beaucoup d'extraits sur Youtube (ceux concernant Jeff Beck notamment - dommage qu'ils aient sucré son Beck's bolero avec Jimmy Page!). Et franchement ... ça sentait un peu la naphtaline non?

aujourd'hui a lieu l'annonce des cinq élus pour 2012. si l'on en croit la rumeur, les intronisés seraient les beastie boys, les red hot chili peppers, guns n'roses, donovan et laura nyro

auraient été recalés joan jett, cure, heart, eric b.&rakim, entre autres

infos sur la cérémonie du 14 avril 2012 qui est ouverte au public. si vous habitez à cleveland ou êtes juste de passage ça peut être sympa:

“We are pleased to announce this year’s Hall of Fame inductees, who represent the broad spectrum of artists that define rock and roll,” said Joel Peresman, President and CEO of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation. “We are also thrilled this year to again be partnered with HBO, who presented the Hall of Fame’s 25th Anniversary Concerts.”

“Our previous collaboration with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was a landmark television event,” says Michael Lombardo, president, HBO Programming. “We are delighted to team up with the Hall of Fame again for what should be a memorable evening.”

Leading up to the April 14 ceremony, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will host more than a week of special events, including the grand opening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s new Library and Archives, tours of the newly-redesigned Museum interior space, the unveiling of a major new exhibition, the Rock My Soul gospel tribute, a free concert for Cleveland and a special series of education programs designed to teach students across the nation about the history and impact of rock and roll. Once open, the Library and Archives will be the world’s most comprehensive repository of written and audio-visual materials relating to the history of rock and roll.
