The bassist Beatle Paul McCartney is upset Foreigner is not inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
The inductees for the Hall Of Fame have been announced, and Foreigner is not one of them. Seeing the list of the inductees, McCartney shared a video of himself, sitting in his car, saying the following words and a little scream at the end:
“Foreigner not in the Hall of Fame? What the f*ck? Ah!”
The clip was also shared on Foreigner’s official X account.
Mark Ronson’s Reaction To McCartney’s Clip
Mark Ronson, who has been leading a campaign to get Foreigner into the Hall Of Fame, recently reacted to the video of McCartney.
In support of Foreigner’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Ronson has rallied some famous friends, including Dave Grohl, Slash, and Jack Black. Ronson shared details about this ongoing effort during a recent episode of The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, where he also played the McCartney clip. As it appears from his reaction, it came as a surprise. He said:
“I’ve never seen Paul McCartney curse! I mean he’s a knight — he’s Sir Paul McCartney!”
Dave Grohl And Josh Homme Want Justice For Foreigner
Among the people who supported the campaign were Grohl and Homme too.
In the video posted for the campaign, many musicians shared their thoughts on the matter, with Grohl saying:
“I’ve loved Foreigner since I got their debut record. There’s one drum riff that I have used in more than a few songs.”
Homme too, stated:
“You want to know what love is? Love is putting Foreigner in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Foreigner should absolutely be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”
The list of nominees for this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame comprises Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Eric B. & Rakim, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Jane’s Addiction, Kool & the Gang, Lenny Kravitz, Oasis, Sinead O’Connor, Ozzy Osbourne, Sade, and A Tribe Called Quest.
