Green Day Induct Guns 'N' Roses into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame

So this has been the second time in the space of a couple of years that Green Day have attended the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame now. This time it was for Guns 'N' Roses.

The boys took to the stage for their performance of Letterbomb (it has been said on the Green Day Community forum that they sound checked with a brand new song) and they completely rocked the house.

It was then their time to introduce the band. Billie Joe performed a 12 minute speech which talked about them individually - even sticking up for the absent Axl Rose, earning a massive boo from the crowd. He also spoke with passion about the albums such as Appetite For Destruction and Use Your Illusion pt 1 and 2.

After the induction, Billie Joe took to the stage with 'the Roses' to perform backing vocals for their song Mr Brownstone, and then joined GNR, Red Hot Chili Peppers and others for the finale.

On a personal note, I cannot wait until Green Day are eligible to be inducted. They deserve it - they have been around for 23 years, won countless awards, sold out arenas all over the world and they even have a musical dedicated to one of their most influential albums which Billie has had a starring role in.

I wait with baited breath for their time to come...
