Although artists are eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 25 years after the release of their first album, iconic hard rock and metal bands like Iron Maiden and Motörhead have not yet been recognized by the institution, which led to Guns N’ Roses in the first year of your eligibility.
Ozzy Osbourne reaction
In statements to BillboardOsbourne, 75, commented on her second induction: “It feels great. “I am more than honored.” Reflecting on his solo career, he added: “With every new musical adventure there is always a certain surprise when you see that the fans accept it, because nobody wants to make a record and have it be a failure. I feel like I was invited to a party in 1980, and it hasn’t stopped since. Not bad for a guy who was fired from his last band.
