This year, the following bands are being inducted into the Hall of Fame: Black Sabbath, the Sex Pistols, Blondie, Miles Davis, and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Recently, Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi had complained in an interview that Sabbath deserved to be in the Hall of Fame:
Ozzy Osbourne, on the other hand, said some years ago that he didn't want to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame because it was a farce. In fact, he tried to get them taken off the 1999 nomination list. In Ozzy's own words:
By the way, the ceremony will take place on March 13.
Recently, Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi had complained in an interview that Sabbath deserved to be in the Hall of Fame:
"I'm pissed off about that," he said. "I think that's... you know, I don't normally go round blowing our own trumpet saying we are this and we are that. I'm not that kind of person but I really think we deserve... you know, to be in that. Because without us that kind of music wouldn't have existed. 'Cause a lot of bands that have sparked off from us wouldn't be around and there probably wouldn't be this kind of music."
Ozzy Osbourne, on the other hand, said some years ago that he didn't want to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame because it was a farce. In fact, he tried to get them taken off the 1999 nomination list. In Ozzy's own words:
"Just take our name off the list. Save the ink. Forget about us. The nomination is meaningless, because it's not voted on by the fans. It's voted on by the supposed elite for the industry and the media, who've never bought an album or concert ticket in their lives, so their vote is irrelevant to me." He added, "Let's face it, BLACK SABBATH has never been media darlings. We're a people's band and that suits us just fine."
By the way, the ceremony will take place on March 13.
