I watched the Dio videos posted above. They're good. Love Pains is about what you'd expect from someone's first published song, but the vocals really sell it. Jesus Mary and Holy Ghost is exciting. So I thought I maybe was mistaken in my past assessment and I watched the video for Holy Diver. Nope, it's still dull.

The other thing about Ronnie is that he could sing almost anything and sound great. He could have been the next Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett if he wanted to. His voice was just so amazing - listen to this for something very uncharacteristic of what you'd expect from Dio...

...and a live version when he was pushing 60...

The fact that he hasn't even been nominated is absurd. The level of ignorance and arrogance of both the nominating committee and the voters in general shows that there is a real problem with the way they run that place.

Ronnie's rolling over in the grave knowing that Vivian Campbell is in HOF but he's not.

Credit to Def Leppard's lineup longevity that the "new guy" has been there 26+ years.

Then again, it blows my mind that Cliff Burton was with Metallica for less than five years, and that Trujillo is their longest serving bassist.
And don’t even get me started on Ron Wood...

It's ridiculous that RJD hasn't even been in the running.
It would be an interesting induction though. Imagine Geezer, Ward, Iommi, Appice and about 500 others would love to stand on stage and talk about their experiences with Ronnie. The most interesting would be Viv.

I met him this past SDCC and he does indeed have a very large head. It's incredible.
Really nice guy though. Kudos to him for going from manger to band mate, though.

I was at the ceremony Friday night. It was a blast. Seriously. I thought it would be an overlong, overproduced mess of a show, but it flowed fairly well from start to finish (including a flub during the Singles section that I'm sure will be edited out of the production).
The ceremony started at around 7:10 PM and ran for five hours... which is a long time, but we're talking six induction speeches, six artist/band speeches (for the bands there was one person representing the band as a whole, EXCEPT for The Zombies, who all spoke, and the two guys from Radiohead who bothered to show up), and four performances. Plus the All Star Jam at the end.
Here's a quick rundown of the ceremony, especially the performances; I'll put it in spoilers just in case:
In terms of speeches, Stevie Nicks easily had the best acceptance speech and Susanna Hoffs intro to The Zombies was tops. As far as performances, The Cure followed closely by Def Leppard and Stevie Nicks. The Zombies sounded really good after a shaky Time of the Season, but Roxy Music was a little off (Bryan Ferry's voice is not what it once was, but the guy is 73 after all.

Awesome. Thanks for that summary.
How hard is it to get Induction tickets? I didn't even realize they were available to the public
Sucks that Radiohead didn't perform. Or Janet, who is doing a residency here in Vegas, so it's not like she hasn't had a chance to practice a few songs.

Janet didn’t perform because it would air on HBO.

My wife joined the RRHOF as a "member" of some kind (like a fan club), which provided access to tickets. They were about $60 apiece (we got the cheap seats).
The place was PACKED though. The floor is mostly tables for the inductees and guests. It might not have sold out but it looked real close.

I was hoping that The Cure, Def Leppard, Trent Reznor, Brian May, and Stevie Nicks would jam together at the end.
