Metallica Rock Hall Induction Won't Be Like Blondie 'Train Wreck' - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Metallica star James Hetfield insists he'll invite anyone who has ever played on one of the group's albums to join them at the Rock & Hall of Fame induction ceremony if the rockers get the nod in 2009.

The front-man has already agreed to end his feud with former band mate Jason Newsted if the eligible heavy rock act get inducted next year - because he doesn't want the magical moment to become a farce, like it has in the past.

Hetfield admits he cringed when Blondie were inducted in 2006 and feuding band mates bickered onstage.

He tells Rolling Stone magazine, "There's no reason for it to be weird. We don't want to be part of the soap opera of the Hall of Fame. Everybody wants to see a train wreck, like with Blondie onstage arguing over crap. That really cheapens the moment."

That was awful. I lost a lot of respect for Deborah Harry over the way she handled herself that night. I know there has been some major drama in the past between her and Frank Infante/Nigel Harrison, but no matter how she wants to look at it, they were part of the definitive (1978-1982) version of Blondie, the lineup that was getting inducted. They wanted to perform a one-off with Deb, Clem, Jimmy and Chris but Deb said no because of the replacement members she's hired since. It was really catty of her and I lost some respect. Although not enough that I still went to see them in concert a few months ago, LOL.
