METALLICA’S LARS ULRICH ON THE ROCK HALL INDUCTIONS: “I GOT TWO WORDS: DEEP PURPLE”

larsulrich400jpg Kory Grow of Rolling Stone reports:

Metallica entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009, the second year they were eligible and first year they were nominated. Nirvana are entering the Hall this year, the first year they have been eligible, a decision Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich supports, but he still has some hopes for one artist who has been eligible for two decades now. “I’m not gonna get into the politics or all that stuff, but I got two words to say: ‘Deep Purple,'” he says repeatedly. “That’s all I have to say: Deep Purple. Seriously, people, ‘Deep Purple,’ two simple words in the English language. But definitely, Nirvana is a no-brainer for the first year and I’m glad that KISS is getting the long-overdue recognition that they deserved for everything that they pioneered, and then I got two words, ‘Deep Purple!’ Did I say that already?”

Deep Purple issued their debut, Shades of Deep Purple, in 1968, which made them eligible for entry into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. The band has been nominated for induction into the Rock Hall twice, in 2013 and 2014, but, much to Ulrich’s chagrin, have yet to make the cut.

    2. Randy,

      I hope that was a joke because there is nothing Rock N’ Roll or swift about Taylor. Her “singing” is mediocre at best and her lyrics are completely sophomoric. I don’t get her appeal and I find her to be, like many pop stars today, very overrated.

  3. I forgot about Grand Funk. Bonnie Raitt in, Grand Funk not…..Jann Wenner & Dave Marsh in action. Lars does look horrific. Looks like a roasted chestnut seller outside Penn Station named Igo. Hey, I met Swift, she’s into vinyl big time, very cool.
