FROM KISS: 
#KISSPaul Stanley AND Gene Simmons ON INDUCTION TO THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME

The spirit of rock and roll for me has always meant following the paths I choose regardless of what my critics or my peers think. For 40 years KISS has built an army that apologizes to no one and I'm honored to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame knowing we have remained true to ourselves and our fans.
~~ Paul Stanley


To the KISS Army, Ace, Peter, Eric Carr, Vinnie, Mark, Bruce, Tommy and Eric Singer, Bill Aucoin, Doc McGhee and to my partner of 40 years, the ever youthful Paul Stanley...and all the members of the KISS Family. This honor is for you. 40 years of Rockin' and still going strong.
~~ Gene Simmons






FROM DAVE GROHL (NIRVANA/FOO FIGHTERS):
"For once... I am speechless. From the basements, to the dingy clubs, to the broken down vans, to... the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. I would like to thank the committee not only for this induction, but also for recognizing Nirvana for what we were: pure Rock N' Roll. Most of all, thank you to all of the fans that have supported rock and roll throughout the years, and to Kurt and Krist, without whom I would not be here today". -
