Happy for the band who deserved this years ago! Happy for all of us who have stuck with the band all these years and as we all know there was a time when this happening looked really far away.
This is a reminder of what it feels like when one of your favorite sports teams wins a championship - a feeling I haven’t had since I was 10 years old and was too young to really appreciate.
The band nor us never needed this as vindication to the influence they’ve had on the industry or on the world, but it definitely is nice that they are now finally getting the proper recognition they deserve for it.

I wish the induction was in Cleveland (closer for me then NYC) and also that "true" fans would be able to get into the induction.... Good luck to all the ones who will be fighting to get tickets !

Yeah...Was thinking the same thing. I'd go if it were in Cleveland as it's an easy, quick drive for me. But not bothering with NYC. I wonder why they do this thing in NYC instead of in Cleveland? Would think it would make more sense to do it at the Quickens Loan Arena. Maybe just easier for travel purposes or something since NYC is a pretty big hub. We're heading to Cleveland this summer though so maybe I'll finally make a stop at the HOF. I've always said I wouldn't step foot in there until Leppard was inducted  I wish the induction was in Cleveland (closer for me then NYC) and also that "true" fans would be able to get into the induction.... Good luck to all the ones who will be fighting to get tickets ! |

So excited (and relieved that the suspense is finally over). What a lineup of inductees this year!

Finally! And Roxy Music made it too. Man it would be awesome to see Joe join them for "Street Life"...

Listening to the Rock Hall official on SiriusXM. Learned something.... The HOF decides who inducts each artist, not the artist. The band isn't going to like that, unless the person the HOF chooses is the same person the band would choose.

Lol..you figured only 3-4 acts were inducted..two lep mentions..no JJ or Nick's..the latter part is all the talk.
Congrats to the band, well deserved and so proud of them!

Good luck to all the ones who will be fighting to get tickets ! Actually I did have the chance to attend an Induction in 2012 (Guns and Roses) and it was done at the Cleveland Public Auditorium not even at a big arena. It was better because it was for a small amount of people and everyone could see good no matter where you were sitting. Maybe they changed it so more people can attend. With that said, I liked it more in Cleveland as the hotel was way cheaper than what will be at NYC ! LOL

Still waiting on that polite refusal......
But seriously, huge accomplishment for the band and well deserved. Doesn't sound like we'll be seeing Pete perform with the band if he shows up, which is unfortunate. But I can't wait to see the band finally get their due and perform. Guess I'll have to get HBO for awhile next year.

Surprised nobody has brought it up yet....if Pete does accept and he shows up, does it play and if so, which songs does he play on and what songs do they perform? I would imagine they would play ROA, Sugar, maybe Let It Go if Pete decides to play and Love Bites/Hysteria? I can't see them doing anything past 1987, but Bon Jovi managed to play a brand new song last year, with Richie, so who knows.

Richard Marx posted a story on Instagram about the release of Hysteria in honor of DL’s induction to the HOF. Good story.

^^^^^^^^^
Great story to read from Richard Marx. Yes Richard, we all "should've known better" eh? Good things to those who wait. And boy did we have to wait!! But it's been more than worth it the last 30+ years. And now the cherry on the sundae today!!
Everyone get hyped!! Def Leppard is finally getting their due from this misguided and wayward organization of "pundits" and critics, and artists I suppose. I really like this class (it's like the 80's is being honored for its greatness with The Cure and JJ in addition to Def Leppard), but could do without Stevie getting in a second time when it took this long for the Lepps to get the nod. Where's Joan Jett or Pat Benatar?? Seriously. Although NONE of them should have ever gotten in before Deaf Leopard.

In the past, HBO has aired the ceremony but it’s taped. Last year, the ceremony was on April 14 and was aired on HBO on May 5. Also, for the first time last year, Rock Hall did a live stream of the Red Carpet. I’m hoping for a live stream of the ceremony!

Don't remember if it was said on channel 106 or 310. I think 310. |
