    For all the people taking shots, they were cracking jokes to calm themselves down, as they're MASSIVE fans, and the rest of the speech showed heaps of respect. Freddie probably would've laughed his arse off at Taylor Hawkins' ironic Hot Space quip.

    For anyone who thinks that Grohl and Hawkings didn’t care that much about Queen, kep the fact that they were both sarcastic when they said “And of course, Hot Space”, i think it was meant for a giggle. And the reason why it looked like they didn’t want to induct Queen is because, Hawkings is a big fan of Queen, and he could have been crying by just inducting his favorite band to the R&R Hall Of Fame

    Can you believe this is the same band that came up with Crazy Little Thing Called Love? Backchat? Another Bites the Dust? Bring back that Leeroy Brown? Holy F$&$& no other band in history has been able to do that and none will be able to either. They are greatest band of all time! Period!

    For those of you alive in the 70s, we know how Queen shaped the way for may artists today, as did The Beatles & The Doors. For those who did not have the privilege, Focus upon the video and let the comments that you may not agree with go by the wayside.

    In August 2000 he collapsed and nearly died after taking an overdose of drugs, which ironically turned out to be prescription painkillers (Vicodin?). He was 29 at the time. He seems to have a tremendous will power. That he's still with FF for almost 20 years, is more than what some people can achieve under ordinary circumstances. After doing a few hundred shows (in about 16 mths) with A.Morisette - he wanted to be a member of a Rock Band - & Dave Grohl was already pretty wealthy after Nirvana "died" - so these were extraordinary times for all these young people involved (see Back & Forth Rockumentary) - Imo, FF have, & are, writing Rock music/songs with strong melodies - They are in a league of their own.

      It was the time where Hawkins takes a lot of heroin, he made an OD few month after this, during the One By One recording.

    I watch/listen to this with heartfelt angst. I guess because I'm used to audiences falling apart with adulation when the subject is QUEEN. Sadly, it doesn't happen here but perhaps it's because, their absence makes us seriously-loving Queen fans overcome mournful thoughts - (yelling and screaming adoration is hard to simultaneously effect). Tears here as I write this in 2024. Happily, these two lead in a wonderful recap of the work and fabulous music Queen gave us - still enjoy. I can't envision Freddie Mercury resting but I pray with gratitude that God gave him to us and Freddie and his contributions to our good experiences thru entertainment continue for many centuries.EDIT-4-12-24 ...revisiting and the afore-referenced 'quiet' now positively moves me. Today, it's clearly a caring, reflective quiet, still mourning, never forgotten - loved, Queen.
