  • U2 was inducted to the Rock'n'Roll hall of fame in 2005. The band was introduced by Bruce Springsteen in a very funny way.
    The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation was created on April 20, 1983, by Atlantic Records founder and chairman Ahmet Ertegun. On May 5, 1986, the Hall of Fame Foundation chose Cleveland as the permanent home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.

    This, IMO, was the best induction speech ever. Absolutely freaking hilarious. Home of the Bono Burger! It was entirely appropriate as Bono elected Bruce into the Hall of Fame. U2 looked up to him as a role model musician......that there was a way to do it without getting messed up on drugs, that you could still be a person of faith, etc. Bono's response to Bruce's speech is priceless - sadly, it wasn't by the uploader. That is what you call an Irish induction speech!

    is this the best RRHOF induction speech of ALL time, thinking here YES! hands down.. perfect digs into and prop's for the artist being inducted but The Boss hasn't the time to scroll through U2's platinum record sales... humanitarian efforts around the world.. raising awareness to unjustice toward native people everywhere... Chime in please.. U2 cannot be challenged in their world presence and popularity... they really did earn this recognition...the rock n roll way.. if wrong on this assessment kindly let me know...I'll hang up and listen...to U2... thx.

    Best Induction speech that the RRHOF ever had, and surely not deserved considering the atrociously biased selection process by Jan Wiener that has left great bands out of. The Selection Board should be ashamed of themselves for inducting someone like Madonna before Iggy Pop.

    • @markvaught9510
      @markvaught9510 4 года назад +2

      Madonna has absolutely NO BUSINESS BEING IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME. PERIOD. PEOPLE (I WILL NOT CALL HER AN 'ARTIST', "CON ARTIST"? FOR SURE!!! MUSICALLY AN ARTIST? HELL TO THE NO!!!
      There's at least a dozen or more motherfuckers that have no business whatsoever being inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame at all. Ridiculous. It takes away any credibility that the hall had to begin with.
      But this is a great fucking example of how to do it.
