…along with the rest of Velvet Revolver

Last night was the big induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for the boys of Van Halen. Eddie was hanging out in rehab and [Alex] his brother decided to make a stand and skip the event as well. Velvet Revolver was given the honor of ushering them in with a performance of the classic “Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love”; however, it seems they weren’t up to the task.

Slash was focused on making sure his leather pants were tight, his top hat was tipped, and his smoke was lit– when really he should’ve been making sure he knew the opening lick to the song. It was quite embarrassing for all (especially for me as I’ve always found Slash’s ability to play most impressive). Scott Weiland’s vocals were all over the place as were his pathetic dance moves.
