Exclamation Blondie trainwreck at the RRHOF Ceremony

Blondie, the most commercially successful band to emerge from a fertile New York rock scene that also produced hall members Talking Heads and the Ramones, is back together after 15 dormant years.

But the group no longer includes former members Frank Infante and Nigel Harrison, who unsuccessfully sued to rejoin, and member Gary Valentine, also involved in another band dispute.

Those three members came onstage with the three members of Blondie who still perform - Deborah Harry, Chris Stein and Clem Burke - but were barely acknowledged by their former chums.

Infante begged to perform with the band.

"Debbie, are we allowed?" he pleaded before Blondie performed their hits "Heart of Glass," "Rapture" and "Call Me."

"Can't you see my band is up there?" Harry replied. The three rejected members walked offstage, but not before Infante groaned into the microphone.

Whoa! Well, you shouldn't try to sue Debbie et al, I guess is the lesson.

I believe there was some sort of lawsuit they filed against the rest of the band awhile back and it pretty much pissed Debbie off.

Gary Valentine got kicked out after the 1st album in 77. Chris and Debbie didnt get along with him, Gary was upstaging Debbie and the band too much.

Nigel and Frank did not get along with the band either. They didn't play on the 1st 2 Blondie albums, were added to the group in 78. They recorded the Hunter with them in 82, but Frank didn't tour with them in 82 only Nigel. When Blondie reformed in 98, Frank and Nigel sued, and lost. They aren't original band members, so boo hoo deal with it.

Last night Frank wanted to play with the band and Debbie said no. What did he expect her to say: "Sure Frank, we havent played live since 1980, come on up without rehearsing with us, im sure this will sound great on live tv".
