It makes great sense to say they are definitely better respected for not having anything to do with the RRHOF.

Regards waning talent......... As soon as U2 arrived on the scene, with "the Edge", the supply of people who could really play guitar solos seriously waned, that's what happened,a whole generation of guitar players condemned to tinkle tinkle sh1te who couldn't play a solo to save their lives. They all just played a "D" shape at the 12th/15th fret through a load of sh1tty chorus effects and echo just like that prize twat "The Edge", who did more to damage guitar playing than any other living guitarist before or since. Should've taken "the edge" to the edge of a cliff and given him a shove!!

I think it has become a complete joke. Many of the artists who are there don’t belong there IMO. And there are artists I would like to see that I know will never get in -or like with DP, it takes several years of persuasion to even get them nominated. And when they finally get in, it’s too late. But really, what does it change? Nothing. A few years before DP were inducted Jann Wenner said: "It was easy enough in the beginning"..."but at this point, all the clear, obvious people have been inducted, and it comes down to personal taste." That sums it up well. It’s about personal taste and nothing more. Rainbow was an influence to many bands. But it’s a small niche and Rainbow is a pretty unknown band for the larger audience. And Wenner and his friends were never fans. That's why they will never get in..nondisclosed_email@example.com (niji)Mon, 15 Jan 2018 20:18:58 +0000 Re: Re:https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p514211,from=rss#post514211https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p514211,from=rss#post514211quote:fdr wrote: quote:Witchy Nightmare wrote: I still can't see that post-Dio Rainbow had any remarkable influence on the development of rock music.

I would however sub Glover for Daisley. Daisley was really only there a short period of time and am not sure how much he contributed to writing (It may've been that RB bought a credit from him). However, I think RG earns it alone on DTE and subsequent live performances...not to mention he helped write some cool songs (No Release, Spotlight Kid, Death Alley Drive, Stone Cold etc.) during JLT era (who also deserves to be there)...

Wikipedia tells it (I didn't find something about that on the HOF page itself): quote:The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (...) recognizes and archives the history of the best-known and most influential artists, producers, engineers, and other notable figures who have had some major influence on the development of rock and roll. So it's clear: It's about influence. Not about who's the longest-serving band or something like that. Considering this I'd say that only Dio era Rainbow qualify for being inducted. Later Rainbow didn't have recognizeable influence on the development of rock music, they were rather influenced themselves by others considering that two of their greatest hits were Russ Ballard covers. The question which members of Dio era Rainbow should be inducted I leave to those who know their history better than me. Of course Blackmore, Dio and Powell would have to be inducted, about the others someone else has to think. For a live performance - with only Dio era songs to be performed - I would suggest: bass - Daisley keyboards - Carey drums - Rondinelli vocals - Bonnet, Turner, White and Romero for one song each. If someone of them refuses to do a Dio song, just let the others sing. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Witchy Nightmare)Sat, 13 Jan 2018 20:27:49 +0000 Re: Rainbow should be in Rock and Roll Hall of Famehttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p514167,from=rss#post514167https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p514167,from=rss#post514167quote:Concrete god wrote: quote:leelyt wrote: quote:Concrete god wrote: quote:leelyt wrote: quote:BagShotBullets wrote: Surely this "Rock n Roll Hall of Fame" is just the biggest load of utter drivel ever.

Blackmore did exactly the right thing by sticking two fingers up to this cr@p an saying "no thanks" to attending. Why does anyone give a rats sh1t who is "inducted" to this pseudo "institution"? What it the "Rock n Roll Hall of Fame"? Answer, a fancy museum and exhibition in Cleveland, a tourist attraction with no significance whatsoever, it's totally meaningless in every way. It's only contribution to anything, is tourists income to the local economy. Inductees are chosen by a few individuals who are not musicians( big surprise!) and are chosen based on how likely they are to draw a crowd to the museum, in short how much cash$$$ can the tourist attraction get from YOU.............. bet that's a surprise. So Blackmore said "No Thanks" to being a museum exhibit and very sensible he was too. Agree 100%. I thought it was ridiculous how after years of slagging off the RRHOF that DP turned up to collect their award.nondisclosed_email@example.com (leelyt)Mon, 08 Jan 2018 17:54:27 +0000 Re: Rainbow should be in Rock and Roll Hall of Famehttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p514145,from=rss#post514145https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p514145,from=rss#post514145PS Rainbow shouldn't be in this fake "institution" and actually neither should anyone else unless they are getting paid to be there. It's just another way to get yet more $$$ out of music fans and has nothing to do with music and everything to do with just more business, somewhat predictably.nondisclosed_email@example.com (BagShotBullets)Mon, 08 Jan 2018 16:58:32 +0000 Re: Rainbow should be in Rock and Roll Hall of Famehttps://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p514144,from=rss#post514144https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p514144,from=rss#post514144Surely this "Rock n Roll Hall of Fame" is just the biggest load of utter drivel ever. Its totally a subjective thing, based on who's opinion exactly ? Nobody of any significance. A bunch of back-slapping nonsense that is beyond totally meaningless to everyone, including those inducted, those watching on and those not included. Just about EVERY major 60's/70's band should be there as they ALL contributed greatly to the development of the musical genre.

I'd forgotten about Jon. Doubt Richie's going to get an invite anytime soon having snubbed the Purple induction besides which i'm sure the criteria includes having a nailed on hit in the US which Rainbow never really had (irrespective of how good they were on record and live up to 1978)nondisclosed_email@example.com (Perfectly Strange)Mon, 08 Jan 2018 16:35:16 +0000 Re: Re:https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p514140,from=rss#post514140https://bdeeppurplefanforum.runboard.com/p514140,from=rss#post514140quote:Perfectly Strange wrote: Err..Jimmy Bain is dead.

That's no reason not to induct him. Jon Lord was inducted posthumous as well. Dio and Powell (mentioned by the thread opener) are dead as well. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Witchy Nightmare)Sun, 07 Jan 2018 21:26:39 +0000
