livin2do wrote:The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame seems to pull from two pools of people when determining who should induct their new honorees. First, they tend to look at people who are enshrined themselves already, peers who can speak to their experiences with the band. Second, they also will look at newer, emerging artists who are popular now, who can talk to the influence the band may have had on them. There have been impressive, heartfelt tributes seen at times, and a backfire or two along the way. I loved seeing how psyched Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins were to induct Rush. The most obvious misfire I can think of was the Black Keys inducting Steve Miller.
So, who should induct Journey? The best person I can come up with is Sammy Hagar. His connections with the band have been numerous, and he continues to work with Neal from time to time also. Anyone have any better ideas?

It would NOT be a pleasant night and most fans don't like him anyway, so it would be awkward and maybe very embarrassing. I foresee a lot of boos and the members of Journey scolding the crowd. Like I said awkward and embarrassing for all involved.

I doubt that Clapton is jealous of anyone. He has had his own very successful career. Neal is one of a thousand great guitarists over the last 50 years of Clapton's career. Many of them are known, many we have never heard of, Clapton has played with all of the best known players ever. Neal, not quite as much.

Most fans have never heard of Herbie, or any other bands' manager -except maybe Brian Epstein.

Hagar is a great idea. But I wonder if he'll do it because Journey is not "cool", unlike his Cabo Wabo personality.
Even though back in the 70's and 80's they sounded very similar musically.
Randy would be a great choice as well, but really only is Perry showed - which I am sure he wont decide until the day or day before.
