Their songwriting, their hooks — they’re simply simple. Their musicianship — all the time simple. And sure, it is prison that they don’t seem to be within the Corridor Of Fame; it is completely ridiculous. They need to be heralded, not just for their physique of labor however simply how wonderful of a band they’ve continued to be for many years.”

From taking part in the Moscow Music Peace Pageant in 1989 to taking part in in Vegas with them now in 2022, they’re all the time nice as a result of they’re devoted to their craft.

However these days, there’s a few rock bands which have at the least been offered and had been talked about, like MOTÖRHEAD, for instance; JUDAS PRIEST for the second time. I did not observe it that a lot lately, as a result of they all the time ignored us. I’ve the sensation now that possibly within the close to future it’d occur. I personally have the sensation it’s really effectively deserved, but when it would not occur, it would not occur. However let’s have a look at.”
4 years in the past, SCORPIONS singer Klaus Meine mentioned that the band “would really feel very honored” to at some point get inducted into the Rock Corridor. “To be inducted into the Rock And Roll Corridor Of Fame undoubtedly can be one thing,” he mentioned. “And I believe our followers world wide can be happy with that as effectively. It is one thing very particular in spite of everything. And I do know my buddy Jon Bon Jovi was… BON JOVI, they had been inducted lately, so I believe there may be a change in politics, like after they begin placing in now heavy metallic or traditional rock bands; they have not carried out this for, I believe, endlessly.
