]]> Considering their legacy and influence in metal music, you would believe that British heavy metal legends Judas Priest are a no-brainer for induction in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Surprisingly, however, they still didn’t manage to get in despite being eligible since 1999.

In a recent interview with NME, Judas Priest’s frontman Rob Halford was asked about the band’s omission from the Rock and Roll HOF and decided to give a rather diplomatic answer.

“I’ve always admired it,” said Halford. “The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame isn’t any different from those other institutions they have in America, like the one for football, where you’ll always get some people complaining one player deserves to be there over another. Emotions always run high whenever these awards take place.”

Judas Priest were in consideration for induction several times so far, and even finished fifth in the fan vote in 2019. Despite this, however, the group didn’t make the final cut that included Doobie Brothers, Nine Inch Nails, T-Rex, Depeche Mode, Notorious B.I.G., and Whitney Houston.

While taking a moderate approach when discussing the issue, Halford said that he believes there should be more metal bands in the Hall Of Fame and that Judas Priest deserves to be one of them.

“I think if any metal band deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it’s Priest and beyond that, there needs to be more metal there because there’s not enough,” he added.

While the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame remains open to a lot of different genres, the metal bands have had a hard time getting in. This led to a number of widely popular and influential bands being routinely left out despite having years of eligibility. Besides Judas Priest, the list includes Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Bad Company, Slayer, and Megadeth.

]]> The inductees for 2019 class of inductees into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have been revealed. According to Rolling Stone magazine, indie rockers Radiohead, British alternative legends The Cure, and rock band Def Leppard will be among the music acts inducted next year.

“Now we can stop holding our breath,” – said Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott. “How wonderful to be in the same club as the Rolling Stones and the Beatles and the Who and Queen … It’s a nice badge of honor.”

They will also be joined by American pop icon Janet Jackson, singer/songwriter Stevie Nicks and two English rock bands, Roxy Music and the Zombies.

“Thank you Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” – said Jackson when she heard the news. “I am truly honored and I am happy to be in there with my brothers.”

“I have a lot to say about this, but I will save those words for later.” – said Nicks, who was previously inducted as a member of Fleetwood Mac in 1998.  “For now I will just say, I have been in a band since 1968. To be recognized for my solo work makes me take a deep breath and smile. It’s a glorious feeling.”

The ceremony of induction of 2019 class into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will be held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on March 29th, 2019.

Nominated acts that didn’t make the cut for 2019 include Todd Rundgren, Rage Against the Machine, Rufus & Chaka Khan, MC5, LL Cool J, John Prine, Kraftwerk, and Devo.

]]> Jon Bon Jovi finally got his wish fulfilled. His band Bon Jovi will be among the inductees into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2018. But that wasn’t the end of it. The 55-year-old rocker also had his mind set on a person who would induct the band into the hall of fame. It was American radio and television personality, Howard Stern.

Now, the pair announced on Stern’s SiriusXM satellite radio show that they have taken care of that as well. Stern said yes, and will be the one to mark this great milestone in Bon Jovi’s career.

“I had hoped this day was going to come and it does come and I had given it a lot of thought to who I wanted to induct us,” said Jon Bon Jovi. “I only had one choice and I told no one, not my wife, certainly not my band.”

Stern first tried to avoid the request and wasn’t happy about having to go to Cleveland for the ceremony, but ultimately accepted.

“I am so honored that you asked me,” Stern said to Bon Jovi. “I am thrilled to do it.”

Jon Bon Jovi also explained why Stern was the perfect person to induct his band into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“You’ve only ever been my first choice,” – said the singer. “Our careers have paralleled in a lot of ways. Whether ups or downs we’ve come through everything together and we do this at this point because we love the people we work with… nobody knows not only me but the members of the band as well as Howard.”

The induction ceremony will take place on April 14 with Dire Straits, The Moody Blues, The Cars, Nina Simone and Sister Rosetta Tharpe being among the inductees besides Bon Jovi as well.
