Of course he should get in. So should Phil Keaggy and Robin Trower among many others who have actually played rock music and are among the very best to do so. The HOF has become a laughing stock with their idiotic pop and even rap nonsense getting in. I wouldn't even want to be a part of it. Posted by Bill on Friday, 08/2/2019 @ 23:13pm |
How EJ isnt nominated into the RRHOF.. would be an injustice. 8 grammy nods and 1 win, and a true influencer of the guitar and music. How many people can you hear and say .. hey thats HIM. Posted by Daniel Ecoff on Sunday, 10/17/2021 @ 11:39am |
Absolutely he's technically one of the best. Probably the most underrated and right there with Joe Satriani as far as influences to people learning how to properly play. Posted by Jared Cohen on Friday, 01/13/2023 @ 16:13pm |

If I were Eric and got nominated into the RRHOF, I would politely decline. One of the reasons to decline is that the RRHOF isn't considered representing Rock and Roll. Its more of a "Good ole boys club" in which bands and artist of the non rock genre gets accepted. One example of this would be the Beastie Boys. I love the BB, but having them in the RRHOF is wrong. Also, waiting so long to induct Rush was a travesty! The RRHOF is irrelevant in representing pure rock and roll which should be held sacred with rock musicians around the globe.

Eric has created a style of rock guitar that will live on for ever. He is one the best rock guitarist ever to play the instrument . 100 percent he should have already be inducted . Posted by David duncan on Saturday, 09/2/2023 @ 22:05pm |
