	I had to say it, just because it makes me laugh when I see other people on here do it, haha. Badass, more AIC please. :D

	How will this go considering the post yesterday, (I think) in regards to Sharons problem with Queens Of The Stone Age frontman????

	COMMENT \| ^^^^ posted by : Belexes 4/17/2007 9:41:49 PM

	That's a valid point. Someone will need to strip search Sharon for eggs. Not me!

	Cool i will watch.

	COMMENT \| Sharon will have no say over QOTSA posted by : Zoo Keeper 666 4/17/2007 9:50:42 PM

	Queens of the Stone Age will honor ZZ Top since they are friends with Billy Gibbons, and he is on the upcoming and last album. My guess is that Alice in Chains will honor Ozzy. Gretchen Wilson and Keane will honor Heart. Nickelback will honor Genesis.

	COMMENT \| . posted by : Blackenistheyend 4/17/2007 10:04:18 PM

	Alice in Chains will honor Heart. Jerry Cantrell is a big fan of theirs and one of their singers guest starred on AIC's "Brother" from the Sap album. Queens of the Stone Age will honor ZZ Top.

	COMMENT \| Yes I can see Alice in Chains honoring Heart posted by : Zoo Keeper 666 4/17/2007 10:07:04 PM

	Since because of SAP and Mike Inez toured in Heart as well. So let me change i......how about AIC with Gretchen Wilson on vocals honoring Heart. Nickelback honoring Ozzy. Keane honoring Genesis?

	COMMENT \| i'll be watching for OZZY posted by : ~GNRReunioneventually~ 4/17/2007 11:14:09 PM

	but does any one know if VH1 will have a Metal month? i hope they do...... \m/ __________________________________________________________

	COMMENT \| Criss Angel is the FUCKIN SHIT! posted by : mtlhd0378 4/17/2007 11:17:29 PM

	I don't know if you call what he does special effects, magic, or other, but that show Mind Freak keeps me on the edge of my seat. Kickass intro music too. Oh yea, Vh1 Rock Honors is gonna be the shit! Definitly watching.

	COMMENT \| AIC Rule! posted by : sparticle 4/18/2007 6:21:18 AM

	Im sure AiC will tribute Ozzy, and probably jam with Hear too.... Jerry Cantrell is the Iommi of the 90s... Both are masters of heavy crunchy riffs!

	COMMENT \| Genesis... posted by : Belexes 4/18/2007 7:20:04 AM

	will be there and I think are also playing at the event. I doubt there will be a tribute to them. They'll tribute themselves.

	COMMENT \| posted by : steve_oz_49 4/18/2007 8:46:11 AM

	Alice In Chains could easily cover both Heart and Ozzy. Ann sang on SAP. Alice In Chains played with them on their tour. Jerry and Ann's voices together are amazing. I'd like to know what Ozzy songs Alice In Chains would cover. Can wait for the show.

	COMMENT \| Duh posted by : Killingbox92 4/18/2007 2:25:03 PM

	This is simple what does AIC not have? Layne Stanly... Gretchen Wilson Plus AIC = Heart Nickelback = Ozzy Keane = Genesis QOTSA = ZZ Top

	whoever thought it was a good idea to invite nickelback should be banned from making future decisions.
