Tommy Shaw believes Styx deserves to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and he hopes he and his bandmates are alive if they finally get the call. During a conversation Cleveland.com, Shaw was asked why Styx has yet to be inducted into the Hall despite being eligible since 1998. “I hope we all live long enough to find the answer to that question,” the rocker responded. “But that’s not for me to decide.” READ MORE: Tommy Shaw: Styx Is ‘Powerless’ Regarding Rock Hall Consideration A look at the Hall’s track record shows that Shaw’s concerns are valid.

Former Foreigner bassist Rick Wills has expressed confusion regarding the band’s long wait to get into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Foreigner will finally be inducted later this year, but they’ve been eligible for the Hall since 2003. During a conversation with Sirius XM’s Eddie Trunk, Wills admitted it was frustrating seeing his band constantly get overlooked. “We’ve waited basically 21 years for this to happen,” the rocker noted. “So when it did happen, it was a surprise in a sense. But it was also a relief that we finally could join our peers in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because I thi...

Guitarist Rickey Medlocke remains exasperated that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame chose to exclude him from Lynyrd Skynyrd’s induction in 2006. “I got slapped down by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” Medlocke declared during an appearance on the Jay Jay French Connection podcast. “I didn’t even get inducted with the band, you know, because according to [the Rock Hall] my tenure with the band wasn’t that important. And I’m thinking to myself, really?” Medlocke’s initial run with Lynyrd Skynyrd ran from 1971 to ‘72, during which he played drums and sang. He then returned to his former band, Blackf...

ET caught up with the legendary singer as she walked the red carpet for the premiere of Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion, a new documentary on the famous fashion designer. Asked about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Cher was forthright. “I’m going to have some words to say.

Dee Snider didn’t mince words on Saturday when he implored the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to induct artists while they’re still alive to appreciate the honor. “Dear RNR Hall of Fame: There are bands who YOU KNOW are going to eventually be inducted because of their huge influence,” the Twisted Sister frontman wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. “How about NOT waiting until the entire band is DEAD?” Snider cited a band that is finally going to get inducted in 2024 after being previously nominated six times. “The MC5 are being inducted next month,” he wrote. “The last living member died yesterda...

Former Van Halen bassist Michael Anthony sees the band’s 2007 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a missed opportunity. During an appearance on The Hook Rocks podcast, Anthony lamented Van Halen’s inability to get along. “Even when the band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” the bassist recalled. “Sammy [Hagar] and I were the only two from the band that showed up, and we weren’t even in the band at the time.” Eddie Van Halen (understandably) missed the ceremony because he was in rehab, while David Lee Roth and Alex Van Halen chose not to attend. Anthony described it as...

Vince Neil doesn’t expect Motley Crue to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame any time soon. Despite being eligible since 2007, the hugely popular band has never even received a nomination. That hasn’t stopped the Crue’s fans from championing their cause – or the musicians themselves from pondering the possibility. “I think it’d be pretty cool to be inducted,” Neil admitted during an interview with WMMR Philadelphia, “but we’ll probably be dead when they induct us.” Drummer Tommy Lee, who was also part of the interview, revealed conflicted feelings towards the Hall, alluding to many o...

As Ozzy Osbourne basks in the glow of being selected for a second induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, he’s throwing his support behind another long-overlooked act. “Motorhead have to be [inducted],” the Prince of Darkness insisted to Rolling Stone. “They should definitely be in.” Osbourne then proceeded to heap praise on Motorhead’s departed frontman. “In my opinion, Lemmy Kilmister was the ultimate metal guy. He lived blues, meth, and malt brews. And he was a dear friend of mine. I really miss not having Lemmy around anymore,” Osbourne explained. “What I liked about Lemmy is he didn’...

Dionne Warwick has expressed her surprise after being named part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 2024 class. “I was here at home when I was receiving all kinds of calls, congratulating me,” the singer revealed to Rolling Stone. “And I had no idea as to what they were congratulating me for. They’re saying, ‘Oh, you’ve been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.’ I said, ‘I have?’” Though Warwick has certainly enjoyed a remarkable career – including more that 30 Top 40 hit singles – she never considered herself a candidate for the Hall. “I’ve never considered myself a rock and roller,” Wa...

If not for a missed royalty check, Rick Wills might not have heard about tryouts for Foreigner. He collected a whopping $35,000 stipend for co-writing Peter Frampton‘s “Do You Feel Like We Do,” secured the job with Foreigner and left years later as their longest-serving bassist. Both Foreigner and Frampton are now going into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. “I was hoping they would get in, too,” Frampton told Billboard. “I figured they would, but you never know, so I’m thrilled.” With Frampton, Wills appeared on 1972’s Wind of Change, 1973’s Frampton’s Camel and 1974’s Somethin’s Happening. He al...
