Guns N' Roses, Beastie Boys, Red Hot Chili Peppers inducted into Rock Hall

(CBS/AP) Guns N' Roses got together for one more gig at the induction ceremony for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Saturday night without the band's frontman Axl Rose.

The group played its classic hits, including "Sweet Child O'Mine" and "Paradise City" before 6,000 screaming fans.

Rose declined to attend the induction, saying he didn't want to be part of the ceremony because it "doesn't appear to be somewhere I'm actually wanted or respected." Mentions of the Rose's name reportedly drew boos from the crowd, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Guns N' Roses were one of headliners of this year's eclectic group of inductees, which included the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Beastie Boys, folk icon Donovan, late singer-songrwiter Laura Nyro and British bands the Small Faces and Faces.

Only two of the three Beasties attended the ceremony. Michael "Mike D" Diamond and  Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz read a speech by Adam "MCA" Yauch, who has been fighting cancer.

The Beasties are just the third hip-hop act to enter the hall, joining Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five and Run DMC.

Kid Rock joined the Roots in a medley of Beastie hits, including "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn" and "Sabotage."

The event lasted well into the early morning with an All-Star jam featuring some of rock's biggest names closing the 5 1/2 hour ceremony with a stirring rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground."

You will be able to see the ceremony on HBO on May 5.
