The new Enslaved album is really good!

This isn't good news. Hope it doesn't lead anywhere...

Status Quo cancel two more concerts in Germany following Rossi illness

"The band announced on Monday that a concert scheduled to take place in Berlin would not go ahead and, on Tuesday, they added that shows in Frankfurt and Baden Baden would have to be cancelled."

Anthrax have a new live DVD coming out on April 27th, 2018

"Recorded in February 2017 at the Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom, the two-hour 'Kings Among Scotland' incorporates the band’s entire live show along with interviews, behind-the-scenes footage and other B-roll shot on the band’s tour bus, backstage, in hotels and elsewhere. The DVD will also include a 'gear rundown' from each of the band members"

Can't help thinking this is wrong

Wrong why? Bon Jovi are and have been a bigger band than Priest since 1986. Jon has been very critical of the Hall of Fame in the past so it's quite surprising in that sense.

I don't know what criteria the nominations are based on but i would say the inductees are correct this year. Hopefully Priest and Depeche Mode will get in next year.

[Susan Foreman]

Judas Priest were much bigger than Bon Jovi between 1974 - 1984!

"An act becomes eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first commercial recording. Besides demonstrating unquestionable musical excellence and talent, inductees must have had a significant impact on the development, evolution and preservation of rock & roll"

I would suggest that Priest have been more influential than Jovi

Never mind Bon Jovi and Priest, Maiden should’ve been inducted years ago!
