R.E.M. Induction Speech Part 2 

Ed speaks always from the heart.

So moving speech❤ Thank you Eddie Vedder ❤❤❤

Him mentioning Cobain, brought a tear to my eye aswell as the audience =,)

very moving speech from vedder... great

LOVE LOVE LOVE that he mentions Kurt Cobain (R.I.P.) and Thom Yorke all GODS

eddie is my musical god. But i now realise hes funny too!!! wow he rules

check out Zach de la Rocha behind Patti Smith at 6:25

R.E.M. is great! Will put out a new album in a while =)

I wish I was there

Great speech because it's honest and from the heart and not scripted bullshit.

5:26 Peter checks out scenery, just after michael jokingly ushers him to speak

de la Rocha? at 6.24

Happy 59th Birthday Ed. 12/23/23.

quite the contrary, when I hear Ed's voice I'm awake!

Peter Buck is so drunk. Look at him drinking that wine. He keeps drifting off looking into space and grabbing on to Bill Berry. What a sloppy drunk.

What would shock the hell out of me? Billy Berry shaves his brows bald and rejoins REM! That would be fucking awesome

I'm going to guess the reason he's so slow is that maybe public speaking makes him nervous and he smoked some of the good herb before coming out. Or, that he is a thoughtful individual. I'm leaning toward both as I've been a fan for over 10 yrs and have seen him live several times.

The rock and roll hall of fame is so incredibly silly and meaningless but I did really enjoy Eddie's speech. He seems like a very cool guy.

Zack de la Rocha seems to be "claptonised" a lil' (behind Patti Smith)

Not bad for a band the critics said would never make a gold record and split up in like two years. Peter doesnt believe in mainstream opinions, that's why he looks a bit bored. He laughed at the critics too.

@kiopelus Yeah...kinda hard not to break down a bit when he said that.

the amazing part is that after a couple of years they became critic favourites. strange, huh?

@animal90sFreak5 there are personal opinions, for me It isnt a roll and roll hall of shame either, because a lot of bands that I loved were awarded like they deserved, but a lot of people were inducted many times and It's not fair, for instance jeff beck had entered as a yardbirds member, why he entered as a solo member again and so quickly? at the same time, deep purple the pioneer band in the heavy didn't do it. I want to make it clear that I agree with madonna's induction

yep its zach!!!ratm should be inducted soon!

@EmitFlestiKY that's true all of them are friends, It's probabley that pearl jam and nirvana will enter the rock and roll hall of fame in the first year of elegibility, nirvana would enter in 2014, wouldn't they?

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh Ed!

Peter Buck looks like he doesn't give a fuck (2) He also looks drunk. ahah. He's cool.

Yes, not a good speech. But I think he loved this band, so that might explain some of it.

peter's drunk

Tesco hall of fame steal from it and spew true

Vedder is awful. Quite rude really to Bill Berry. He should have taken notes from Springsteen's brilliant induction speech for U2.

Never liked rem much. Ed Vedder fucking rules though!

REM is good band but this guy just makes you want to Zzzzzzzzz
