He lived blues, meth, and malt brews. And he was a dear friend of mine. I really miss not having Lemmy around anymore,” Osbourne explained. “What I liked about Lemmy is he didn’...

Dionne Warwick has expressed her surprise after being named part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 2024 class. “I was here at home when I was receiving all kinds of calls, congratulating me,” the singer revealed to Rolling Stone. “And I had no idea as to what they were congratulating me for.

Rik Emmett believes Triumph has never gotten serious consideration for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame due to a lingering “huge prejudice” against band’s like his. The Canadian rocker laid out his reasoning during a recent interview with Misplaced Straws. “In the United States, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame politically… I mean, we were on RCA Records, which was — of the seven major labels, they were number six. And then we sued them, and we lost, and then we moved to MCA, and they were the seventh largest. They were the smallest and they had the least impact of all the labels,” Emmett explained, n...
