    It should be Jerry Cantrell, not Chris.

    Layne Staley would have been a perfect choice to induct Heart in the Hall of Fame…but he is dead.

    But glad Chris will be there and I applaud Heart & Rush.
    I’s about time.

    I hoped he would induct Rush. Why should it have been Jerry Cantrell?

    Cornell is close with Heart just like Cantrell is. Makes sense

    Cornell is from Seattle…Cantrell isn’t plan and simple! Oh and he’s known them longer too.

    Yeah, Jerry Cantrell and Chris Cornell together inducting Heart would be cool.

    I’ll bet the Wilson sisters will be delighted to be inducted by Chris. The dude is getting around.

    This is awesome, Cornell and the AIC crew always had a ton of respect for Heart, and vice versa

    I bet Cornell is thrilled to induct Heart into the Hall of Fame. The mutual respect between these talented artists is evident. I would love to hear Chris and Ann do a duet! Two very strong voices!

    I guess no one has heard Cornell and Heart’s collaboration for the Stone’s “Wild Horses” cover? He, Ann, and Nancy have a lot of history together.

    They should do Wild horses again.

    Yeah I know, RIGHT?!!!.

    I mean — seeing as how Jerry was born and raised in fucking Tacoma and all — and he’s known the Wilson sisters since IDK possibly 1990? Oh – and let’s not forget that in numerous interviews Jerry listed Heart as one of his biggest musical influences right along with The Beatles, Elton John, and Jimi Hendrix. Besides — since Ann sang back up vocals on SAP, and Jerry shared the stage with Heart upon THEIR invitation at the 2nd annual VH1 Rock Honors… Yeah I see your point. Jer would be a TERRIBLE choice.

    I agree with you both SuperSG & ScottM.

    @ Spoonman — I want pictures if you get to go you lucky LA resident.
