GreenD2010Jann Wenner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Chief and Co-founder of Rolling Stone Magazine, is considering lowering the inductee eligibility requirements to 20 years due to the lack of artists able to fit the current criteria according to Showbiz411.

This is great news as Green Day could very well be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with Guns N' Roses. Both bands may become eligible earlier than anticipated if organizers decide to bend the rules a bit. The current rules are that the nominees can only be considered 25 years after the release of their debut record.

This means big news for acts like Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Public Enemy and Kid Rock. The downside is it wont sit well with those still waiting to be inducted into the Hall such as: Kiss, Deep Purple, Yes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Judas Priest and King Crimson, who haven't even received a nomination.

Hall of Fame aside, our beloved Tre Cool came in at number nine on The Ten Funniest Dudes in Rock according to Chartattack.com. The drummer is described as "a really weird dude" and was even compared to Andy Kaufman as which comedian he'd be most like. Not bad!

Grabbing the number one spot was Josh Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age, paired up with George Carlin as who he represents the best. Labeled as "the guy everyone wants to hang out with", Homme comes across as "a natural" when it comes to comedy.

Last but not least, Mike Dirnt's restaurant, "Rudy's Can't Fail Cafe", will be featured on Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-In's and Dives" 10pm EST today January 25th on Food Network. It's all part of Fieri's "Triple D Tailgatin' special" where he'll hit up three local food joints following a Raiders home game. In case you Nimrods miss it, the show will also air January 26th at 1am and February 5th at 9pm.
