jann wenner is talking? the creator of a magazine which destroyed every show or record that queen released every year? rolling stone hates them, with people like dave marsh who called fascism

[MonkeyBoyBud]

@jmINXS : Yep, the very same!

[MrGOverton]

the Narrator of the clip is Axl Rose

[MonkeyBoyBud]

@MrGOverton : Actually, it's Jann Wenner (founder of Rolling Stone). He's also the one who introduces the band (and the video montage).

I know he wants to be retired but I just can't believe John wasn't there.

Wow....Taylor Hawkins was kinda high

[harrygorrod23]

@MrLaynon he wasn't there because when they were inducted he had retired and wanted to stay out of the public eye If the makes sense he just wanted a quiet life hope that answers your question

@jmINXS

Jann Wenner is a complete hack. He only elects artists that he personally likes, regardless of whether they deserve it or not. He only elected Lynyrd Skynyrd a few years ago which was long overdue. The R&R Hall of Fame system is broken and Jann needs to stop putting his personal influence into it.

[MrLaynon]

WHERE THE F*** IS JOHN DEACON???

[BALGABDZEU6]

this video describes what QUEEN were, was and will be, really this video makes me cry, I have never seen this video before, its just amazing

[neilzep]

Nice to see freddie's mom there...

[RoLLWithITOasis1]

I love this. Especially when Brian says that Freddie and John send their love - as if Freddie is still alive. And he is. He's alive in the hearts of anyone whose ever listened to Queen.

She is a lovely woman full of the warmth and humanity that Freddie had. Check out some of the documentary DVDs of Queen to see exactly what I mean; infact Freddie's entire family are such nice people.

Awww Freddie's Mom. Tears. RIP Freddie. Long live Queen!

Go Queen! They deserve all the recognition they get.
