Not exactly a shock. They're gonna be a shoo-in.

I threw Judas Priest a vote a week or so ago but at that time they were a distant fourth or fifth down in the vote. I don't know how many acts the HOF inducts at a time, so I'm not sure what their odds are of making the cut.

Apparently Priest has overtaken the Eurythmics in the HOF vote, which puts them in fifth place. If they can hang onto that position they'll make the cut.

I've been voting three times a day under my Facebook, home email and other email. The Priest made a strong push last week to overtake Annie Lenox and company.

They were a long shot so I'm not terribly surprised.

...of course, the inevitable rage posting on social media from angry JP fans has been comedy gold though. ("WUT? BON JOVI GOT IN BUT PRIEST DIDN'T? THIS IS A DISGRACE TO METAL BLAH BLAH BLAH")

I won't go that route. Bon Jovi deserves to be in. And I fully expect Priest in there sooner or later. I'm not surprised in the least that they weren't voted in this go around.

And these are probably the fans who didn't vote. Laughing

This was the first time Priest was nominated, right? I'm sure they'll get in eventually.

Now the speculation can begin as to whether Richie Sambora and Alec John Such will show up and share the stage with the rest of Bon Jovi.

Apparently Richie will be there, but Alec John Such is MIA.

MIA for the ceremony or MIA in general? He sorta dropped off the planet when BJ kicked him to the curb. He needs to form a band with Dan Nelson, Vitto Bratta and Chuck Behler called 'No, We Didn't Die!'. Razz

For the ceremony (at least) Very Happy
