HOF - NLE

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: When the MLUKFC Legends of music HOF was started, the idea was kicked around a little that we could/should have a NLE category.

I think it would be nice if we could get this category up and running, and post the inductees on Meat's birthday.

I think that if current/recent band members ran against band members from longer ago, we wouldn't have much of a race (more recent band members have a much higher advantage), so how about we induct 5 ex members of the NLE who have not worked with Meat for at least 5 years, and 2 band members who are still with the band, or have worked with Meat within the last 5 years?
That's a total of 7 inductions this year to get the ball rolling.
After that there will be fewer inductions per year. 3 at most (2 classic and 1 recent).

I've left it a bit late in the day to go through the same nomination process we had for the other categories (my bad :oops: ) so rather count nominations, then post them, then have the members vote on the finalists, we'll just have one round of blind voting (and hope for the best :pray: ).

To clarify, a member of the NLE is someone who has performed with Meat LIVE rather than anybody who has played on studio recordings.

To vote, please copy and paste the next message on this thread into a PM, fill in the blanks of who you want to vote for, and send it to me.

Closing date for votes in Thursday 26th September.
I'll do my best to post the results in the new category the next day :up:

:twisted: To even things out a little i've changed the amount of inductees from recent years from 1 to 2.
Otherwise I've a feeling that particular vote will be a foregone conclusion :wink:

[chairboys]

You sod, we have to put our thinking caps on.

:twisted: :devil:

[LucyK!]

Scary to think that Mark and Kasim fall into the first category!

[LucyK!]

...or do they? They officially left in 2010 but did they perform with Meat in 2009? Their last UK was 2008, were there US shows in '09? Too tired to check-

[Wario]

forgive me for being a party pooper but... is there a point? Last time it was a confusing cluster :shrug:

[wolfy35]

No idea who you could mean there at all Mouse.

I suspect you are talking about Bob

:twisted: I think they'd be under recent band members.

forgive me for being a party pooper but... is there a point? Last time it was a confusing cluster :shrug:

That moment Wario tells you one of your threads is pointless :yikes:

If you want to vote, vote. If you don't think there's ant point, don't. :shrug:

[Wario]

If you want to vote, vote. If you don't think there's ant point, don't. :shrug:

touche. Just remembered last time there was a lot of confusion lol...

There was no confusion, just saturation.
Indeed, I propose a discussion thread on each possible candidate.
Let the HOF flood the site.

Only if someone will lock each thread, edit half the content out and then repost each one. :lol:

So just like every other post :D

I assume Patti should be the first inductee. She has my vote.

Only if she gets enough votes. ;)

Do you really think there is any doubt that Patti will get in?

Truth be told I think there will be uproar if she does not & for me she should have got in automatically as soon as it was found out she was no longer in the NLE in thanks and recognition of her 20+ years of amazing service.


Won't be happy if Kaz gets in though. Personally I never really liked him & I think Bob deserves the second place more than he does because a concert is not the same without Bob

[JennaG]

Do you really think there is any doubt that Patti will get in?

I don't think there is any doubt since I think there are plenty of people here that I believe will be voting for her but personally I do not think anyone should get in automatically without being voted in other than Meat and Jim.

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: Thanks to the folks who've sent in their votes already :up:

There's still a couple of days to go if you want to join in.
Deadline is midnight (BST) on Thursday because I want to count the results up and post the results Friday afternoon.

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: I've nearly got all the results counted, but I haven't got time to finish them right now as i'm off to work.

I'll try and get the results up after tonight's gig :up:

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: Had a bit more time than expected to work on this tonight, seeing I mixed my dates up :facepalm:

Anyway, our inductees this year are..................

Classic band members



Damon La Scott & Paul Jacobs



Pat Thrall



Karla DeVito

Patti Russo


Thanks to everyone who voted, and congratulations to this years inductees :metal:


I'll be putting the Neverland Express section together as soon as possible.

I am having problems finding good pics of Damon and Paul though, so if anyone has any good pics we could use for the HOF, it'd be greatly appreciated if you could PM me them :up:

BTW, would anyone be interested in seeing the full results?

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted:

Acceptance speech from Miss Patricia Russo...........

Speech? I'm usually the quiet and shy type, as you all must already know..........What to say, what to say.... I'm at a loss for for words. Would it be inappropriate for me to "nick" Freddie Mercury's lyrics to" We Are The Champion"s for my "acceptance speech" ????? Thank you, Neil. "I thank you all.....!" I graciously accept this on behalf of myself and the band!!!!!!! Lotsa Love Always!!!!!!

:mrgreen:

[Smithie]

That is great! Well deserved! I would be interested in the full results, Neil.

[Evil One]

People voted for Damon La Scot? :nuts:

[glamourgirl]

People voted for Damon La Scot? :nuts:

Damon LaScot and Pat Thrall are probably the only classic guitarists that young fans have seen in concert. (Not to undermine his win in any way because he did play well on the VBO/Storytellers tours.)

[chairboys]

[loaferman61]

No surprise to me, but obviously the fans love Patti. A lot. :D

[The Flying Mouse]

Visit the HOF and click on the crown to view the page (or you can just go the R&R heroes thread because it's still at the top lol).

[chairboys]

the doll only mustered a single vote?

[wolfy35]

Come on why didn't people vote for Bob the bat?

[glamourgirl]

Thanks for posting the results, Neil. I am not surprised by the winners; they are all worthy. I am kind of surprised that Randy and Aspen didn't get any votes.
