Join us as we break down the highs and lows of the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, focusing on the contrasting tributes given to Warren Zevon and Outkast.Warren Zevon's segment was highly emotional and provided some memorable moments, despite criticisms that he deserved more than one song. The late singer-songwriter was inducted by his "longtime friend" David Letterman, who shared jokes about Zevon's childhood study with Igor Stravinsky and the names of his parents. Letterman also recounted the deeply personal story of Zevon giving him his gray guitar during his final Late Show appearance. The sources indicate that The Killers did an "amazing job" and "crushed" their tribute performance, which featured Zevon’s guitar, playing hits like "Lawyers, Guns and Money". While many enjoyed Zevon's induction, Letterman’s speech itself was criticized by some as "rambling and it went way too long," suggesting it "just needed an editing pass".The tribute to rap duo Outkast, inducted by Donald Glover, delivered a mixed bag of results. The performance medley included Big Boi, Janelle Monáe, Doja Cat, JID, and Tyler, the Creator, but was generally described as "a bit underwhelming", a "mess", and even "sucked so bad" by some viewers. Critics highlighted several "very notable weak points", including Doja Cat's obvious "flub" during "Ms. Jackson", which may have resulted from forgetting a line or technical issues. Janelle Monáe's performance of "Hey Ya" was also panned, with her vocals seeming "off" and one viewer calling her a "cringe lord who can’t sing". Although André 3000 was present for the acceptance speech, he chose not to perform. The only consistently praised moment was Tyler, the Creator's "stellar" and "awesome" rendition of "B.O.B." (Bombs Over Baghdad). Overall, the Outkast segment was deemed frustratingly disorganized, leading one attendee to snarkily suggest they "would have cut the outcast performance by one more Warren Zevon song"
