The Go-Go's Rock Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony 2021

Gina Schock is best known for being the drummer and one of the songwriters of The Go-Go’s, arguably the most successful all-female group in the history of rock music, with hit songs including “Our Lips Are Sealed," “We Got The Beat,” and “Vacation.” She and the band faced overwhelming odds and sexism in an industry that hadn’t quite accepted that women can rock. Through force of will and hard work, The Go-Go’s overcame these obstacles and made their mark on music.
In 2021, Schock and The Go-Go’s took their place amongst other legends in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That same year, Schock published Made In Hollywood, documenting her account of the band and its history.
Check out my interview with the irrepressible Gina Schock either on my website abreathoffresh... or on your favourite podcast platform.
What you'll find is that she's not only a fabulous drummer, she's a bubbly, funny person who loves to share a story, a joke and a warm chat.

when I was 11 I had a crush on Belinda Carlisle - I’m now 53 (happily married) and still have a crush on Belinda Carlisle -

[@ChadBest-ug8uo]

I am 54, and still have a crush on Belinda.

[@jon-kl9mk]

Been listening to them for 43 years & they still sound great. Plus they all looked good back then & still looking good to this day! Rock on sisters 👍

[@davidchapman2213]

Wow! I found myself smiling ear to ear. They were brilliant and could go on tour even now and rock it! Love it! Congratulations, ladies! You all deserve it.

[@me-lq7go]

Forty some odd years later and they still rock! The ladies look and sound great! Long overdue! Congrats, and thanks for some of the catchiest, funnest music ever!

[@all4you33]

It's Jane's verse on "Our Lips Are Sealed" that gets me every time.

[@davidziemann9653]

HUSH!!!

[@huntingtonsharp2899]

That and Kathy’s bass line. I’ve only recently realized how much that anchors the song.

[@Hellwyck]

Well, she helped write it.

[@bloodsling]

Belinda is just as much a smokeshow now as she was then

[@mikejohnson1068]

I would submit...even MORE!

[@BNatoAk]

Smokeshow? 😂 ya she's hot

[@correctcut3002]

Keith and Nicole 4:41 😂 This band: -Started from dirt scratch -Play there own instruments -Wrote their own songs -Have multiple hits -Actually sound good, and are inducted in the Hall of Fame… Very accomplished!👏🏻

[@BigHurt1776]

After all these years, they can still rock it like they did in the 80s. Belinda Carlisle was a crush of mine in the 80s like so many other boys and men and even today she is still stunning.

[@deirdreryan6147]

I think Belinda looks even better than she did in the 1980s. ❤

[@grantkelly5218]

Should have happened decades ago

[@sandykayepresents-abreatho9146]

I agree!

[@hopNglo]

So awesome. Thank you for all you have done for music and for women.

[@Taras-Nabad]

Its sad, no one in the audience knows the songs. This band was truly amazing in the early 80's.

[@yuri2604]

Drew really gave the best induction speech ever

[@rickyparrilla2426]

Drew really outdid herself. I was so happy for the band because they really deserve to be in the RRHOF, but getting someone to do a fantastic induction speech came so easy for Drew because she really loves the band as we saw. Their group hug at the end just sealed everything of a great night and career. ❤

[@phila3884]

So...I (a dude) saw the Go-Go's twice (don't ask) in 1981. They debuted "Vacation" at the show in Atlanta. They were the opening act for this small trio from England...I can't remember who, help me out, but they were pretty big. I was resistant to their thing but, I have to admit, "Vacation" got me.

[@keruetz]

I caught a lot of crap for being a GoGos fan back in the early 80’s. I didn’t care. I saw them every chance I got. First time was at a small club on Sixth Street in Austin, TX called “Club Foot”. Then, when “Beauty and the Beat” came out and they hit it big I saw them several more times around Texas. They were always a lot of fun. I’m not a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame fan, but they got this one right. Should have come sooner.

[@salvadorsandoval396]

Love the Go-Go's, Beauty and the Beat was also the first record I bought from 80's music, they do Rock!

[@sandykayepresents-abreatho9146]

They sure do rock!

[@johnsummers385]

My favorite: . My Lips are Sealed

[@jorgeaguirre9217]

Great 80s song!

[@thegadflygang5381]

Jane still looks the same, like a punk rock Joan of Arc. I LOVED THIS SO MUCH. They haven't missed a beat in 40yrs

[@dr.ulyssesswlabr6642]

They sound amazing here and BC has new material out and she sounds great. We need a national tour!

[@MrsBlaileen1]

They were an amazing, fresh, punk band before the music industry watered them (and later solo Belinda) down to bland pop. But wow…they were definitely an inspiration to all girl bands that followed and set a very high bar.

[@anthonydixon452]

Can we induct Drew Barrymore into the HOF as well? That was probably the best band introduction ever!

[@cosmicsunbeams]

I❤ the GoGos!

[@scottboyle4596]

Kathy Valentine still and always a beast on the bass

[@robbaxter60]

Their performances have aged like fine wine. They literally keep getting better and not a hint of autotune in sight. And damn Belinda Carlisle still looks a la good as ever. She was totally my first adolescent crush. 😊

[@timmcgee5574]

I remember my first Gogos show early 80s at Chicago fest at Navy Pier been a fan ever since. That decade was simply better with this band involved. From that era to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Well done Ladies. Love ya❤

[@jseedoubleu]

Just wondering is there a biopic about them? I know the runaways have one but the Go-Gos need one

[@dougms67]

[@paparousimouro]

Does anyone know why Belindas voice is so raspy???

[@bkc0761]

The Only Female Band in Rock History to write their own songs, play their own instruments, and sing their own songs.

[@bryanwatson9124]

I’m wondering what Belinda, Jane, Charlotte, Gina, and Kathy are up to these days in 2024.

Should have deleted the Drew Barrymore footage.....The gals are beautiful rockers!

[@sammysouth8372]

In 1983 I had a huge crush on Kathy Valentine. I was a college student working a summer job at Houston’s Astroworld. The Go Gos performed one night and after the park closed they were given a private ride on the Texas Cyclone. I was staring at Kathy with adoring eyes in my stupid Astroworld uniform from like 20 feet away. 😂😂😂

[@EddioPinaR]

Those women rocked the world. I'm very happy to see them in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

They are the best period!!

[@shecandance9500]

I did my Pom Pons tryout to We Got the Beat!! Back in 1984!

[@richardrobinson1538]

Go-go s are awesome. And yes, they were second but the Bangles were probably better and should be in the Rock Hall too.

[@richardrobinson1538]

Charlotte is the real talent behind this band. I don't think enough people realize that.

[@39butchy1]

Such a fun group. The Go Go's will always be one of my top two favorite bands. The Go Go's and Duran Duran. Congratulations to them both.

[@paultaylor9498]

The go go's were nothing outside of America and didn't do much in America. Goes to shoe what a joke the rock and roll hall of fame is

[@SuperDrJeckyl]

OK, I get the "women fighting to be accepted" thing, but I wish people would quit making that the big deal because they were just a great band, period! That's all you need to know. Women, men, whatever, I think they were a great group with great songs.

[@donaldcruse3402]

Really great performance. Best part: the pure happiness on Drew Barrymore’s face.

[@sandykayepresents-abreatho9146]

very true

[@celerystikz]

Drew Barrymore is acting like the club manager in the tenacious d movie and its awesome lmao

[@anthonyanthonymorones4226]

There is one more girl group they have not yet to be inducted into the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame hopefully in 2024 they will be on talking about the bangles now this girl group needs to be in the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame

[@countrydrummergirl7581]

My sister bought beauty and the beat. I fell in love with it. Gina Schock inspired me to be a drummer. Im so happy they got in the Hall of fame they soooo deserve it

Hard to listen to Drew after her embarrassing interview with kackling Kamala. Or is it Mamala? 🤢🤮

[@jackedkerouac4414]

Goosebumps and chills. What a dynamic group of bad asses. Let's go Go-Go's !!!

[@kf9346]

As a fabulously morose teenager in the 80s too cool for American bands and stricly listend to British new wave, post punk and new romantic, my circle and I tried hard not to like Te Go-Go's but it was impossible! They were a bright light amongst my Sisters of Mercy, The Cure etc. And when I found out they wrote "Our ips Are Sealed" with The Fun Boy Three, they catapulted into alternative cool.

[@sandykayepresents-abreatho9146]

yep, could not agree more. thanks for sharing

[@bingoace]

Can't understand why they never made it here in Britain. I bought their albums. I loved them

[@EzekielPrellus]

Amazing that it took SO LONG to get these talents into the hall of fame. My goodness what a long wait for them.

I was honored to see this performance live. Two years later my wife and I often talk about it, as one of the most special moments in 80s reunions.

[@robertphillips5459]

Fabulous group! Always loved their music and yes they got the beat!🎉

[@jimmilne9290]

I love the Go Go's so no offense intended. But no Foreigner in the the HOF. That is just insane and the Hall is weaker without them. Shame!

[@iroczo6627]

I can't believe Toto still isn't in the Hall of Fame, and almost everyone even Eminem is there.🙄

A long overdue honor. It was touch and go with Belinda for awhile, her lifestyle was slowly killing her. Glad to see she got her life straightened out.
