Deftones in the rock n roll hall of fame?

[wither-I]

what do you guy's think?
eventually will they make it?
i mean suppose eros hits real well with fans and music professors...

in my personal opinion i think they have done many great things in and for the modern music world and how music is understood in general.... but that's all i can say on the matter for now.... they've withstood a lot and have most certainly "paid
their dues" as musicians.....
- icons, maybe?

discuss

bless.

they deserve it

[bloody_liver]

I think they will deserve it if they can blow up with this new record. And there's no reason they shouldn't. It's the longest they've ever consistently worked on one record - they started in November. I mean, if they do the same old thing, I'll still be happy - but, if they can dare i say 're-invent' themselves, and make both the critics and the nay-sayers to reco'nize, then the induction should be coming up.

[Hidalgo]

i dont give a crap, a lot of what they think is hall of fame worthy i think is crap. doesnt make any difference to me

[mr.sinister]

Yeah. If Madonna can make it into the Rock N Roll hall of fame and get a 15 minute induction speech by Justing Timberlake, Deftones deserve it without a doubt.

[pissedandpierced]

I don't think they will make it as they are not 'commercial' enough.

[buddyboy101]

I don't think they will make it as they are not 'commercial' enough.

yeah you're right - platinum records, sold-out tours, and grammys just aren't "commercial".   

[def_linus]

yeah this record means alot and alot of bands tht formed around there time excpet for korn and incubus still are around. and back in 06 i never seen there videos when snw was posted

[rainnyx4]

Unless this next album and the following albums until their demise can successfully break into the mainstream and get critical acclaim like White Pony did, they've got no chance.  They're my favorite band but I just don't see them getting in without these conditions.

[Fireal1222]

its sad because u know damn well that korn will be in it


and we all know what korn is. a vegetable.. not a good band

Criteria for the Hall of Fame:
"Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record. Criteria considered includes the influence and significance of the artist's contribution to the development and perpetuation of producers, disc jockeys, record company executives, journalists and other industry professionals. The Foundation's nominating committee, composed of rock and roll historians, selects 5-7 nominees each year in the artist or performing category. Ballots are sent to an international voting body of about 1,000 rock experts. Those performers who receive the highest number and more than 50% of votes are inducted."

So Deftones won't even be considered for another 12 years.

yeah but it'd be cool anyways, they deserve it

if they don't get in it's b/c they've pissed off too many people along the way.

I know that, with regards to the HOF, even though they may have sold shit loads of records, sold out tours etc but Deftones are still not as mainstream as Korn, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Cher, U2 etc and look at some of the artists already inducted: Buddy Holly, Van Halen, Sex Pistols, U2, Pink Floyd, these artists are legendary even if you don't like them and they have achieved so much more than Deftones so they won't make it into the HOF for quite a few years. Are you just completely deluded? as much as I love the music of Deftones, I'm not holding out on this for years.

[ghettovaquero]

you guys are idiots im sorry. but the deftones wont make it in the HOF first off what have they done?? look i know we are all big fans and shit but besides white pony which was their biggest hit, what have they done like seriously to make other people think they are legendary?? i doubt the masses know about their other records. Because any non deftones fan whenever asked  about them the first thing that comes to mind, hey that band that made change? what happened to them?? and im left to explain, "they are still making great music!" come on seriously, a band like the cure, metallica, and anyother mainstream bullshit deserves to be there. i dont think any Nu metal bands will make the HOF besides KORN because EVERYBODY and their grandmother have listened or heard of korn, while deftones are still unknown by ALOT of people, i get asked everyday who are the Deftones, by friends and strangers alike, and i love that because it gives them that underground feel. I love deftones as much as the next guy but its very hard to see them make anything groundbreaking from now on, White pony was there peak and its over, as much as i love them they will never make another record like that. I loved ST i love SNW but we all know they are not Amazing records, we try to make them sound as great as possible by building them up but those records are clearly not in the realm of white pony, atf, or even adrenaline. Chinos song writing has become repetitive his voice isnt the same (even though i still like it) they dont have that motivation to make anything groundbreaking anymore. they just arent that type of band

[Jacob]

first of all, I couldn't care less if they made it in or not.

second, there's really no reason why they'd be taken in. they're a great band and they've been a big part of the nu metal scene. but they're not legendary in the same way as say Led Zeppelin or The Beatles. they'd need to get off their asses and be a little more creative for that.

[13hourstoparadise]

Stop, the faux of being famious.
Confused? You'll know when you're right.

[janie13]

I wonder if they care as to whether they get inducted in the HOF.  They may, but I doubt it.

[Runs With The Spirit]

If they do get it, which they will is because they are a major label band. So I hope they return to their roots and reject the award and go to an indie label after this record and be real "raw" again. 6 strings back.

i think it's ripe

[Frankz0r]

This topic is sooo lame.

Why would anyone think they could make it?, I seriously DOUBT it at first.
