Pearl Jam's Jeff Ament Wears Shirt Calling Out All Great Bands Not Inducted Into Rock Hall

Pearl Jam was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Friday, April 7th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and bassist Jeff Ament used the opportunity to give a shout out to every great band omitted from the prestigious hall of fame during the induction ceremony. In his acceptance speech, Ament said, “It’s an honor to be part of a club that includes so many of our heroes—Neil, the Clash, Zeppelin, the Stooges, Cheap Trick—but the fact is that we were affected by bands that aren’t here.” 

Ament wore a t-shirt that displayed every amazing band either ignored or not yet inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, including Brian Eno, Slayer, Faith No More, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Fugazi, Dio, Soundgarden, Duran Duran and more. Also on the shirt was Chad Channing, Nirvana's original drummer who was infamously not included in the induction with the rest of the band. Check out a pic of Ament's shirt below. 

David Letterman honored the band during the ceremony and Pearl Jam performed an all-star Neil Young Cover and a set of their own music. Check out clips from their performance below.
