I'm not even a Metallica fan and I seriously must ask this question...

[LynneSin]

WHY THE FUCK WERE THEY NOT SELECTED TO BE IN THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME

[NewJeffCT]

1. Madonna was way more qualifed?

just kidding. I feel old that their first album came out 25 years ago.

no idea.

[LostinVA]

2. Because Madonna kicks their ass

[LynneSin]

3. Metallica had way more influence and changed the face of heavy metal

they defined a new genre of heavy metal with their thrash style music

[LostinVA]

8. Metallica is a bunch of talentless hacks

Madonna is a revolutionary.

[LynneSin]

9. Look don't mind me, I have all of Madonna's collection and just one Metallica album

but even I'm not foolish enough to think that somehow Madonna had more influence than Metallica.

Plus Metallic has been great for the record industry with fighting illegal downloads.

[LostinVA]

10. That's what you think

:hide:

[Sock Puppet]

11. I disagree with your assertion that Metallica has had way more influence.

Madonna, for better or worse, changed how an artist markets themselves. The impact of her career will be felt far longer than any influence Metallica has had on metal.

[Westegg]

21. Yep. And marketing is really the subtext of the "Hall of Fame."

...which is both tragic and bullshit and has NOTHING to do with rock 'n' roll. But there it is.

[Dr. Strange]

4. According to judges, the number one reason:

they're Metallica.

Some questions just answer themselves.

[quip]

5. Well, if the lads like them, well....

And BTW, why the ever loving FUCK isn't Spinal Tap in there?????

That shithouse is dead to me until their shadows darken that hall! :grr:

[Dr. Strange]

7. Technically, they're in.

But they're lost in the basement, trying to find the stage.

[quip]

15. BAAAAAAH!!!!ELEVENS!!

Ahhh, the memories of the Xanadu Star Theater....

"Hello Cleveland! Hello Cleveland!!!"

[Dr. Strange]

19. A jog?

We don't have time for that!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Guava Jelly]

6. Because of their shitty cover of Turn the Page?

:shrug:

[SouthoftheBorderPaul]

12. Aerosmith was inducted

despite their cover of "Come Together."

[Guava Jelly]

18. good point

..

[Westegg]

20. Ohhhhhh yeah. DAMN good point!

[Parche]

13. Because They Were Flaming A$$holes?

:shrug:

:hi:

I like Metallica

:hi:

[graywarrior]

14. Since when in Madonna rock n roll?

I thought she was disco?

[LeftyMom]

16. Load. nt

[Initech]

17. Because everyone hates Lars Ulrich?

:shrug:

[Westegg]

22. Because the Hall of Fame is bullshit?...

...Because you might as well ask why Led Zeppelin never got a Grammy?
