How is it possible that RJD is not inducted as a member of Black Sabbath?

Its true,another one forgotten. They usually induct just the classic formations.

I would be shocked if Sharon Osbourne was not to blame.

Word.

I would expect Dio to be in alright, if not for any single one of his bands then as an iconic performer in his own right. And no Thin Lizzy is just weird. But then the whole thing is a big bag of wank anyway so fuck em.

Yeah Sharon said original lineup only or Ozzy doesn’t do it.

 

[Cat Milk Supreme]

She's such a gimp

Not really. Chicago, Deep Purple, Heart, Eagles, E Street Band, Fleetwood Mac, Guns N Roses, Journey, Metallica and a bunch of others had a bunch of guys inducted not just the most popular or famous formations.

Only ones where I can remember a distinct “classic lineup only” thing are KISS and Sabbath, but I’m sure there are more.

Agreed. I believe Sharon was behind it. Didn't she make them change their name to Heaven and Hell as well?

Indeed. She's a cunt.

That was pretty reasonable though. Two parallell lineups of Sabbath can't (reasonably) co-exist separately with the same name at the same time, regardless if one was currently inactive - Ozzy hadn't quit Sabbath after the 2005, and he and Iommi co-owned the name.

Or call it "Black Sabbath with RDJ". I still think it was Sharon who would have raised a stink about it. Can't stand that woman.

With gnr they inducted the classic lineup plus matt sorum and didnt induct the current Gnr with some members being there more than the original.
