I love how he says he wished it was Kurt Cobain giving the speech then him.

Eddie is the finest man ever!

@kiopelus Yeah...kinda hard not to break down a bit when he said that.

@animal90sFreak5 there are personal opinions, for me It isnt a roll and roll hall of shame either, because a lot of bands that I loved were awarded like they deserved, but a lot of people were inducted many times and It's not fair, for instance jeff beck had entered as a yardbirds member, why he entered as a solo member again and so quickly? at the same time, deep purple the pioneer band in the heavy didn't do it. I want to make it clear that I agree with madonna's induction

@EmitFlestiKY that's true all of them are friends, It's probabley that pearl jam and nirvana will enter the rock and roll hall of fame in the first year of elegibility, nirvana would enter in 2014, wouldn't they?

[Noeladishi]

I know I shouldnt be, but im so jealous of these incredibly talented human beings.

[Noeladishi]

@EmitFlestiKY oh my god. Im sure Vedder asked for permission from Berry to tell that joke. Get a grip will you. Berry is laughing. So why arent you?

[EmitFlestiKY]

Vedder is awful. Quite rude really to Bill Berry. He should have taken notes from Springsteen's brilliant induction speech for U2.

[shelleyinthecity]

Peter Buck is so drunk. Look at him drinking that wine. He keeps drifting off looking into space and grabbing on to Bill Berry. What a sloppy drunk.

[jbunnelle7]

Great speech because it's honest and from the heart and not scripted bullshit.

[mrfiggins]

Worst speech ever. Sorry, love Eddie and REM but this is rambling and dumb. See Edge and Tom Morello induct The Clash...short sweet and to the point.
