Yes Anybody who defends the RNR Hall of whatever it is now is obviously a Shill who works for them and not a true RocknRoll fan.l

Kiss blasted the hall too

R$R hof is a complete farce!

So did Alex Lifeson. In his special way.

How didn't Steve Miiler Band, Kiss, Rush, Heart, Cheap Trick, Yes, etc...... Get in before Beastie Boys, Madonna, etc..........

Somebody needed to put these big mouth 👄 press conference ushers or whatever the hell they are into their place and I’m glad someone did ! Go Steve 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

You said it pal. MORE respect for him than ever before.

Music is about making yourself feel good. And the rest is history. If your playing music to please others or win recognition then it becomes work and soulless. The hall of fame is in your fans. Exactly where it should be. To Steve Miller and Cheap Trick. I will honor you at my 65th BD and tickets are 1st come 1st serve. Unlimited.

He didn't need their BS confirmation. He has record sales and sells out venues all over the globe. These Jackasses are irrelevant to rock n roll. We all know it's BS.

@@bingbangbong2552 hit the nail on the head. Already a winner if even 1 fan

@@benstolz6503 Some people call him Maurice.

agreed! haha

Right The RHoF should bring out everyone and everybody the band wants to be there. Cause this production doesn't cost millions of dollars anyway. But I always love the richest people in the world complaining about spending money.

He's a dick . Look how he treated The Black Keys.

This aged well. Thank god they finally got rid of Wenner-- now all they have to do is burn the museum to the ground!

@@Adatoode What in the holy f’n hell did Miller’s statements have to do with any of garbled crap you spewed? Maybe the answer can be found in your stupid profile name.

@@Adatoode Take your political rhetoric somewhere else. That’s not what this was about.

@@Adatoode Narrow, prejudiced and projecting a load of confused baggage - your comment I see an artist who is rightly lauded and respected but let down by the charlatans. A familiar and depressing story.

@Clegg Juicer 👍!!

Steve is NOT the smartest musician by a long shot but he is a down to earth stand up guy and in the end that's probably more important. Greed is what gets people into trouble and the lack of it has served him well

Saw him in concert right before the pandemic. Humble as ever!

Sorry Frank was the smartest most business savvy rock musician ever! Don't get me wrong Steve Miller is awesome!

I heard he can be a real douchebag too and this confirms it. Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys: "Of course there are problems in the music industry. Of course. But we were there, unpaid, on our own free will, to come celebrate his achievements and spread the joy of rock & roll. And for Pat and I, the most unpleasant part was being around him.” www.google.ca/amp/s/www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/black-keys-we-regret-inducting-steve-miller-after-rock-hall-insults-234363/amp/

Mr Miller is a very savvy business man. THE WHOLE WORLD, requires a good house-clearing, of greed and heartless greedy bastards. TEACH THE WORLD TO SING to a new dimension, more than just the FIFTH DIMENSION, as they are not in this bs hall either....i betcha.

❤

If he didn't like it why did he even go? It is not about your family or girlfriend etc.

@@latetotheparty3070 if i was being "honored" wouldn't you want some family to be there? Price of those "tickets" for a table are ridiculous lmao

can't imagine they send him home without supper.

Perfect. :-)

He's a GANGSTER! JUST LIKE HE SAID IN ONE OF HIS SONGS

@@MARKIEBANUNCE The Gangster of Love.

Yeah but then he pretty much wrapped it up. Coulda ended stronger.

Tell me’ Steve Dave! Someone was gonna say it sooner or later.

242johnnyryall Piss on the walls of the hall of shame

Was that on the hawk

It wasn't very classy of them to attempt to keep Bun E. from performing at the ceremony. He deserved that opportunity every bit as much as the other 3.

The last time I ran into Rick, here in Rockford, Illinois, I went up to him and he gave me a whole Handful of Picks! He also took a couple minutes to visit with me; a fabulous, lifetime memory for me! 8-)

Alrighty now

Bret Moore I agree we don’t need a Hal of fame. Hall of fame for me is singing along to the songs on the radio. Listening to my records, cd’s. Steve Miller is right no hall of fame is needed.

@KesselRunHero Dude he isn’t mad for himself he was mad for everyone else and at how they treat artists. I’m sure he knows how good he has it and he is trying to use that to make a positive change.

"$10,000 per additional ticket - that's just the way it is."

Katie Moe I loved how he said that!

Katie Moe fuck yeah!

Dam Skippy moe NY favorite song from him is " living in the U SA"

Yup, I agree. Steve Miller served them up a dish of "Eat shit and swallow whole!" That's telling them the proverbial "The King Has No Clothes"!

Puts on one hell of a show too

We need more people in the world like Steve👍

Awesome!

He makes his living of other peoples taxes...

Oh, yea.

He ain't gonna let those fools escape justice...

He's gonna take the money and run.

I guarantee that you have people in the rrhof who are in both parties and they don't have any other agenda than to make money.

@@kennybeans6115 Really? like the democrats are all about the money? Take a look at the republican party and their history since Gingrich started running the show.... and shame on you for bringing politics into this.

Then why did he show up. Sounds like he wants free stuff. Dude could have not showed up and set an actual example

That was awesome go Steve 🎸🎶🇺🇸❤️👍

Its a joke!! You can learn a lot!

It’s been such a sham for awhile

Paul Stanley has a video on what a joke it is... and hes inducted twice.

You should have known that, when it was built in Ohio, instead of the HOME of Rock and Roll, DETROIT! Bob Seger knew that, YEARS AGO--The list of people that have "made it" in the music business FROM Detroit is a HELL of a lot longer than ANY such "list" of successful rock musicians to come out of Cleveland. Facts...

Look how long it took them to induct Steve Miller and Rush for that matter

Well said lad, well said !!

Not really.

MY God, yeah, I alreaday thought he was a real jerk until i watched it myself, the dude has all my respect

@Flacid House Yes, really.

@@flacidhouse350 Ummm...yea.

@@robspear03 Super witty.

Yay, it's Miller time!!

That's why that piss ant needed to sit down and learn something.

+James Crane Gail Zappa and Johnny Rotten also spoke out against this whole idea that they ought to pay a lot of money for seats when someone's supposedly being "honored." Scam. And the Hall had Lou Reed, who as it happens Frank hated, induct Frank against Gail's wishes. It's like, "Who are you, Gail Zappa? We've got your husband's name to leech off of however we feel like it, and you'll take it and like it."

Lol I see what you did there nice

That was a cheap trick

Hilarious! 😂

Whoo hooo hooo

in Houston we say take the money Enron..lol

👍❤👏👏👏

He definetly is , he has all my respect. WHat brought me here was an interview with the Black Keys, the duo who introduced Steve Miller that night, they were putting that speech down and really going low slandering Steve Miller, the whole shit remains like an enigma to me as why their reaction was so stupid

As a 30 year Musician veteran I understand exactly what Steve is saying. I wouldn't have done it like that but that is some BS thought. Glad he spoke out. Should've did it a little different though

Steve was one of the guys who started pretty much the revolution of sticking his nose up at the record companies and saying I own all of my own material, he sort of blackballed himself from quite a few of them but stuck by his guns from the beginning and always owned all of his own material copyrights everything.He’s always been a bad ass

Epictetus of Hierapolis I used to have a small music shop in Ketchum, Idaho. Kim, Steve's wife, would come in and order many of The Steve Miller Box Sets for Christmas gifts. They wanted to support me. Steve sometimes came in wanting me to put great jazz albums in his hands because he wanted to listen jazz. Truly down to earth lovely people. Cool as I've ever met, alright.

He can afford to buy all the $10k each tickets he wants but just cuz you got money doesn’t mean you like gettin scammed.

Michael Rauch They lost all credibility when they inducted Madonna before Rush

Absolutely. It is a total crock now.

They never had credibility. Some people started handing out garbage and it means something?

I agree that the RRHF is a joke and is the opposite of what rock n roll is about for most people. But I think hip-hop, country and some other genres CAN be rock - in the sense that it carries the attitude of rock. Rock (I think) can refer to the sound of course, but rock can also refer to the feeling or impression it makes on the audience or general public. That's why I honestly believe rock n roll will never die. The sound most certainly will fade away but the tradition of pushing boundaries with loud abrasive angst and angered filled music will continue to piss off the older generations. In the long run it be a positive influence on the youth by giving them a way of venting. Just my 2 cents, hell my opinion isn't even worth that much! But young people need to feel like they are making something new even though it's all a big circle. Things rise and fall, then a few generations later they return. No point in fighting it. Even in the height of classical music you had composers who was rock stars of their day. I'm all for any music that makes people happy.

@@the_original_Bilb_Ono Best opinion I've read on this yet....

Maurice was the nickname for the studio sound engineer

But some people call him the space cowboy....

It’s 'cause he speaks of the pompatus of love

Bango Skank I still don’t know what that word means...

+bucky468 He said it to the HOF employee that told him to wrap it up.

The great Steve Miller, one of the great guitarists, who became known not for his guitar, but for a string of radio friendly hits in the 1970's.

Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore, who didn't attend, said: "I'm not really interested in receiving... self-congratulatory patting on the back by the elitists in the business. It's meaningless.... I have absolutely, uh, less than interest [in] the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame...." Neil Young, 1997: "The VH1 Hall of Fame presentation has nothing to do with the spirit of Rock and Roll. It has everything to do with making money." Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols on the RRHOF inducting him and expecting him to show up: "like going to the DMV or something."

Totally agree. Joan Jett?

I don't applaud celebrities much, but Miller and others have said what needed to be said, let's hope the RRHF is listening, doubtful but we can still hope.

Half of the people in the Hall of Fame do not play Rock and Roll!

Tom Page Because she is a lesbian. It grovels to the liberals.

@homer randall Headshot brother! Nailed it.

its only a pop culture thing. stevie wonder is rnb, joni mitchell is a singer songwriter, the sex pistols are punk, miles davis jazz, hall and oates pop, jethro tull is great but never became as popular as led zepplin, sex pistols johnny cash or the beastie boys like it or not.

Michael Tarnpoll ...!!! WHAT? Jethro Tull is not in? Ok, so RUSH finally got in and JT is one of their main influences so... If you want to know who the great bands and musicians are just listen to their peers... not a bunch of worthless critics and hangers-one. Unbelievably.

@@Doer231 Yeah.. Janet Jackson made fucking great rock and roll.. she could do guitar solos, like nobody's business. . what a dumb ass you are..

@@XHuntinatorX I agree with you, that is what is wrong with the RRHOF, its a joke, its more of a popularity contest, Bob Marley isn't the only reggae artist yet he made it in, there are many greater artists that influenced him.

Totally agree with you Robert!

I second that. 👍🏻

Word!

And have only one induction... "THE RAMONES." Honorable mentions will be allowed, but only one band can actually become full fledged members.

Me neither, and I have been a fan of Rock music since the late 50s, I've never liked steve Miller's music, it sounded too commercial for my taste, but I have to say that I respect him now.

@@victormorgado5318 Jet Airliner was a song written and recorded by Paul Pena. Steve Miller did his popular version. Check out Paul Pena doing that song on Conan.

And the arrogance of artists helped make it that way. They think they're something special when only their records are. Rock and roll Hall of fame can go to tell.

Paul Stanley has been ripping new assholes for the ignorant swine at the HOF for the last decade.
