This is Bon Jovi's second nomination. The first was announced in Sep 2010 to choose those artists who were inducted in Spring 2011.
Btw.... unless something has changed recently, Cliff Bernstein is a member of the committee that chooses the nominees.

At 3:50 in this video from yesterday's Celebration Day you can see Def Leppard still leading with 110 votes.

Is there any question? These fellas deserve to be inductees. They've worked harder and longer than many bands..and they're still standing strong! 😊

fans want them in, but Def Leppard don't care about the Rock-n-Roll Hall.

The real question is will they “politely turn it down” as Joe has said they will do or is it just too big of an honor to pass up?

Def Leppard will be there without hesitation when they are inducted and all that talk about not caring/turning it down will be out the window.

Because it's nonsense not to include Viv. The RRHOF doesn't have the best history of good decisions though, especially when it comes to who is or isn't included as far as band members go.

Metallica chose who got inducted into the HOF. They basically chose whoever played on an album got in.
Bon Jovi have 2 non members getting inducted.

I honestly think they will politely refuse. They shouldn't because they really deserve to be inducted but I think if they were chosen they just may refuse as Joe has stated many times in the past.

I just don't see them refusing if they are finally given their due. Joe I believe as others said they would refuse because deep down they are annoyed or pissed for not being inducted years ago..so saying that is an f..you... I think they will ride this strong wave and accept should they finally get their deserved induction.

I'd hope they accept for the fans but I'd respect any choice they make. We want them in there.

I totally agree. I think there has been some resentment from the guys because deep down they really feel like they should be in. And we all KNOW they should already be in. When you feel like you are deserving of something and don't get it, it's human nature to then maybe fluff it off a bit and adopt a bit of a care-free attitude. I think they'd welcome it and step up with the class and professionalism that they've always exhibited over their career. I just don't see them refusing if they are finally given their due. Joe I believe as others said they would refuse because deep down they are annoyed or pissed for not being inducted years ago..so saying that is an f..you... I think they will ride this strong wave and accept should they finally get their deserved induction.

Listening to Eddie Trunk talking about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. Specifically about Mark Knopfler not attending this year. Learned a few things....
1. Inductees do not receive an artist fee 2. Inductees do not receive $$ for travel or other expenses 3. Inductees must pay all expenses associated with any guests they invite.

I thought I read it was 10k per seat/guest.... if you get inducted you will have to pay for sure.
And the voting is getting to close for comfort.
Plus why the heck is blink 182 on this ballet? Please! Ok, good band but hall worthy? Heck no
It's going to be a tight race..how long does this go on for?

As far as I know, this vote won't be used in any official way other than, perhaps, to inform the selection committee as to the level of interest surrounding a few specific artists.

I think in the past Joe has said if it were up to him he'd politely refuse as he doesn't give a rats a$$ but that the rest of the fellas did want to inducted. I think there would definitely be a major issue if Viv was excluded given how long he's been with the band and the number of albumns and tours. He's every bit a Leppard.

The real question is will they “politely turn it down” as Joe has said they will do or is it just too big of an honor to pass up? He put his foot in his mouth there and DL will be entered in RRHF one year and yes, it is too big of an honor to politely decline . It is an industry ego thing. Ego of band. Politics of RRHF and industry. He will have to backtrack that statement he made in bitterness ,lol,and just say so. I think number of years as a band, units sold during peak years, impact on the music scene, etc . so I can see DL in RRHF one day. RRHF, I always look forward to seeing BlackAmerican artists from RnR-RB-JazzRnR being inducted. This year, NinaSimone(deceased) was placed with honor. To balance, my op, a RnR modern group or groups, like BJovi, Dire Straits, but these BlckAmer pioneers of 40s, 50s,even 1960s need to be inducted.

Votes from visitors *this week*. The question is.... What is the ranking based on the entire 19039 votes? Not that it has any effect on what will actually happen.
