On Sunday, the dumb ass Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame announced their 2025 inductees, and nominee Billy Idol was not on the list.
Yesterday, when he was on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the host asked him about it. “A lot of people, you don’t get in on your first time,” he said. “So, it is not the end of the world. I have a great album out. I’ve got a documentary coming out this year.” Outkast, The White Stripes, and Soundgarden can’t say that.
I have to admit that Idol is taking the pass over better than I am. That is why he has been rocking for almost 50 years and influencing the next generation of Rockers!
He cringed as he slowly put on his one pair of frozen leather pants that the label gave him for the Rebel Yell tour, so they could have multiple pairs.
The Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame announced their 2025 Inductees: Phish, Billy Idol, Mariah Carey, Oasis, Sheryl Crow, and Missy Elliott.
I am sorry they were nominated, but who did the idiots in Cleveland (what musician of worth came out of that city) choose to induct? They went with Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Cyndi Lauper, Joe Cocker, Outkast, Soundgarden, and White Stripes.
I am sorry, but WTF? The people who were not inducted did more for music than the people who are getting honored. Well, minus Cyndi Lauper, her cover of Girls Just Want to Have Fun is an anthem for women. But the rest? I love Joe Cocker’s voice, but he is dead, so he can’t celebrate.
Seriously, that is why the museum is in Cleveland and not a major city. I can say that because I am from The Bronx, the birthplace of Hip Hop! We know music.
Back to the dummies in Cleveland. They didn’t listen to their fans. The fan poll showed that they wanted Phish and Billy Idol, who came 1st and 3rd respectively, and not The White Stripes and Outkast, who came in 11th and 12th respectively.
At least we all agree that Maná did not deserve to be included in the nominations.
There is a reason why many artists hate the RNRHOF, and that includes musicians who are in it.
Ever since 1982, Billy Idol has been singing White Wedding the same way.
However, Q104.3 asked the Rocker to dramatically read the upbeat Punk tune.
How did he do? He scared me, but in a really bitchin’ way. So much so that I want him to release an entire album with just him reading his hits like that! Imagine him doing that with Rebel Yell, Cradle of Love, Mony Mony, or Dancing with Myself!
It will be his best album since his Christmas CD, Happy Holidays, in 2006!
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame announced this year’s nominees, and Billy Idol is on the list. Who else is on it with him? Bad Company, The Black Crowes, Mariah Carey, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Joy Division/New Order, Cyndi Lauper, Maná, Oasis, Outkast, Phish, Soundgarden, and The White Stripes are also nominated.
Believe it or not, Mariah has been nominated before but didn’t get in. So, who are this year’s first-time nominees? Bad Company, The Black Crowes, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Billy Idol, Maná, Outkast, and Phish.
“These remarkable Nominees have each created their own musical style and attitude, impacting generations of music lovers and contributing to the ever-evolving sounds and continued growth of rock & roll”, said John Sykes, Chairman of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Foundation.
And my cousin and I have been talking about who our picks are. He is a Phishhead, and as you can tell, I want Idol. I am also rooting for the late Joe Cocker because his voice does things to me down there! Who on that list do you want to get in?
This year’s honorees will be announced at the end of April, and the Induction Ceremony will take place in Los Angeles in the Fall,
Ten days ago, Billy Idol announced his tour in a video where Matt Rife was turning his life into a living hell.
That was then. Now, the Rocker is doing the same back to the comedian.
Actually, what Idol is doing to Rife is a lot worse because he has been secretly living in Rife’s place so that he could surprise him when he least expected it.
However, it is justified because Rife copied Idol’s look to promote his comedy gigs without his permission.
Therefore, I think Idol was right to spit on the poster!
I hope that all of this promotion they have been doing for each other makes them a lot of mony, mony because it making me laugh with a rebel yell.
