Joe Bonamassa Slams Rock Hall of Fame: Here's Why

Great guitarist ❤❤❤

For Jethro Tull to not be in the R&R HOF is a joke and a travesty

Just getting ready to listen to the interview/statement. However, I know I've heard Joe state before that Johnny Winter's a big reason he as well as other big Rock/Blues guitarist's have stated they took up guitar. Yet Johnny's NOT in the RnR HoF, but NWA etc are.

Rockers & bluesmen should exclusively organize their own hall of fame organization or club not by a foundation which is absolutely ignorant of how to play any musical instrument. American musicians should unite to request the US Securities & Exchange Commission to abolish an arrogant, idiot & stupid rock hall of fame who doesn't know anything about music. Mr Bonamasa who knows what he is talking about should be the first President of the Rock Hall of Fame to be organized.

This would be so simple, change the name to the music hall of fame, that is what it is, it is not a rock and roll hall of fame and never has been.

Rock and Roll HOF is a friggin joke. I’d never go there.

1950s rock had a lot of light songs that were considered rock of their time. Blueberry Hill performed by Fats Domino is considered a rock song. Funk is short for funk rock so any funk artist is a rock artist. That would include Stevie Wonder. Award shows and halls of fame have a lot to be desired. I like what I like.
