I don't understand that second RS article saying Simper isn't inducted. That makes no sense. I hope the guy made a mistake as the original article makes mention of Marks I-III with "3 sets of singers and bassists"
It's got to be a mistake in the article. Why would they omit one person from the three line-ups? If Simper had been omitted, the reviewer would surely have asked Paice about it.
I'm sure it was just an oversight. The question is, does Evans come out of hiding for this?
It's on Wikipedia without Nick too (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Rock_and_Roll_Hall_of_Fame_inductees). If this is really true, then it's a terrible slight against Nick and I would be all for Purple boycotting it on those grounds alone.

But by including Rod they have signified that Mark 1 was important in the DP story. Why miss out one of the other members?
Is there a precedent for this in RNRHOF?

Yes, I agree there is a problem about Nick Simper. I hope its a mistake that they will correct soon.

Re: Well here it is...hate on
I'm not sure Nick's omission is a mistake.
From the snippet about each band - after going thru the glory that is Mark II - here's what else it has:
quote: Original vocalist Rod Evans and the David Coverdale/Glenn Hughes line-ups also created masterpieces of their own.
No mention of Nick. Stupid move on the Hall's part.

I have no problem with inducting Mk1 - Mk3 lineups only.... But who the hell is able to explain to me that they inducted Rod Evans (who damaged DP´s name in 1980 seriously with his bogus Purple) and did NOT induct Nick Simper?! What´s the reason for this utter logical nonsence???? Badly done research or what?!
Sorry ptr, about Steve not being included.
This is a special band, all members including Satch should be inducted, but thats just me. Sorry dude.

Re: Well here it is...hate on
Let me remind you of.......
Robert Trujillo, the bassist of Metallica was inducted in 2009.
I hope that helps.

I really think that Steve deserves to be inducted much more than MkI lineup, but that wasnt point of my comment - it´s Rod Evans (with his 1980 bogus Purple fiasco) inducted and Nick Simper NOT inducted which suprises me - and of course in negative way...
