Black Sabbath – Finally Inducted Into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, After 8 Nominations
Heavy metal godfathers, BLACK SABBATH will finally be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (after being nominated eight times) during the institution’s 21st annual ceremony on March 13th in New York City. Other bands being inducted during the ceremony include the SEX PISTOLS and LYNYRD SKYNYRD.
In 1999, SABBATH frontman OZZY OSBOURNE sent the Hall a letter which sums up the Hall’s importance:
“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. Let’s face it, BLACK SABBATH has never been media darlings. We’re a people’s band and that suits us just fine.”

good news!
*thinks again* skynyrd and sabbath are being inducted NOW??
thats BS
That only leaves a couple decades before Hawthorne Heights are inducted. :tongue:
Congrats to Sabbath and Skynyrd for getting inducted finally…a lot of bullshit kept them out, it's nice to see them being recognized. :smile:
About fucking time.
Good news, but after it taking this fucking long, Sabbath should tell the RNRHOF to "Fuck Off".
who gives a shit.
Yeah, about fuckin time is right.
That's awesome, I love Black Sabbath! And that letter that Ozzy wrote those people has a lot of meaning.
it's about fuckin time the fathers of heavy metal were shown some respect. i wonder who will be inducting them? i'm guessing rob zombie
zombie's probally gonna wait for alice cooper, who should have been inducted before sabbath.

Ozzy didn't write that letter, Sharon did… all Ozzy did was blindly smear ink somewhere near the bottom of it and call it a signature
:laughing:
Sharon wouldn't let him say that. RNRHOF is added attanetion and possible expansion of the fanbase.
Much deserved induction!
Now i can go to the RRHOF before this i considered it void because the greatest band ever(ORIGINAL Black Sabbath) wasnt in it.
Alice Cooper didnt really do much for music. His impact was mainly on the stage show. He was GWAR before their was GWAR.
What's cool about GWAR is that once the members get all old and unable to perform, they're gonna have people replace them, and GWAR's gonna go on forever.
Thats already happening and god damn its beautiful
I know it's been said, but it's about fucking time. And that letter does not at all sound like something sharon would say, it definitly sounds like Ozzy though.
sabbath AND skynyrd??? that's fucking awesome. it's about time they got it right. now it's time to kick elvis out.
