Motörhead members good for Hall of Fame

Rock & Roll Hall of Fame bosses have added Motörhead drummer Mikkey Dee and guitarist Phil Campbell to the list of eligible Motörhead stars on the ballot for the class of 2020 nominations following an outcry by fans. The rockers were not included in the band’s original nomination, with Hall of Fame officials only recognising original members Lemmy Kilmister, Eddie Clarke and Phil Taylor, even though they served longer stints in the band than the trio. "We did 25 years out of the 40", Dee told the Billboard. "The original band lasted just a few years. They started it off, but as Lemmy said himself they wouldn’t have lasted another six months doing that lineup. I don’t think we would’ve been where we are today without the 25 years we spent touring."
