Hall of Fame Induction 10th March 2003 - Reviews

| Reviews | Pictures | Pre-Induction Reports |
Fame at last for two likely lads made good Mar 11 2003

They started off their careers in the pubs and clubs of the North-East, but last night they were the toast of the music world.

Thirty years on from their humble beginnings in the region, Sting from Wallsend and Brian Johnson from Newcastle last night joined the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a ceremony at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, in New York.

The singers joined the likes of The Beatles, Elvis Presley and The Rolling Stones when their bands, The Police and AC/DC, were inducted into the Hall of Fame.

To celebrate the honour, Sting reunited with his former colleagues in The Police and played a short set.

Artists can become eligible for induction at the Hall of Fame - a museum in Cleveland, Ohio - 25 years after the release of their first record.

The citation for The Police said that they had created "some of the most influential music since the advent of punk", while AC/DC were praised for Brian Johnson's "screeching vocals" and "nurturing at least three generations of heavy metal boogie fans".

And then, all of a sudden, like a truck bomb in a brickyard, AC/DC happened. There they were, with guitarist Angus Young duck-walking across the stage, ripping out the chords to "Highway to Hell," while singer Brian Johnson launched his power-drill shriek up toward the (relatively) cheap seats. Having formed in 1973, AC/DC aren't technically punks, I guess. But any band that still features a guitar player in a short-pants schoolboy suit qualifies in my book.

There's a tiresome sense of decorum that's built into most award shows, and it tends to mute all things rude and unruly. AC/DC are apparently unaware of this. They may be unaware of anything apart from what Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, who inducted them, called "the majesty of the power chord." Tyler ran out to join the unstoppable Aussies for a wall-shuddering run-through of "You Shook Me All Night Long," and you could almost hear brains hemorrhaging around the room. We need to hear this sound more often.
