The 2015 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony won't air on HBO until May 30th, but the network has unveiled an extended trailer from the all-star event. This year's ceremony,
held on April 18th, honored Ringo Starr, Green Day, Lou Reed, Joan Jett
and the Blackhearts, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, the Paul
Butterfield Blues Band, Bill Withers and the "5" Royales.
"You can't get in until 25 years after you've had your first hit.
Well I'm way passed that," Starr jokes in the extended trailer. "But
here we are, peace and love." Ringo's Beatles bandmate Paul McCartney
inducted the drummer into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a moving speech,
while guitarist Joe Walsh stopped by during the performance portion of
Starr's induction. "I'm here because Ringo is my brother-in-law, and so
I'm family, and I'm here to share the family's joy," Walsh says.
"Green Day belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for sure," Pete
Wentz, who along with his Fall Out Boy bandmates welcomed the Dookie
crew into the Rock Hall, tells HBO. "I think they've defined themselves
over 20 years. The legacy is insane."
