Longtime Motorhead members Mikkey Dee and Phil Campbell have been added to the band’s nomination for the 2020 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame after fans and the surviving members of Motorhead spoke out about their omission. When the hall first announced artists under consideration for the 2020 honor, Motörhead’s early lineup of Lemmy Kilmister, guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke and drummer Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor were the only three members named, despite the fact that Campbell joined the lineup in 1984 and Dee in 1992 and were in the band until Lemmy’s passing in 2015. Dee said about the news that he and Campbell along with Lemmy have been carrying the flag for 25 years together and actually brought Motorhead to what it was. The original band lasted just a few years. Lemmy said himself that they wouldn’t have lasted another six months doing that lineup, and Motorhead would not be where it is today with the 25 years they spent touring. While no official statement regarding the pair’s addition has been made by Rock Hall organizers, the band’s biography on the R & R Hall website has been updated to include the duo as part of the 2020 nomination. “Thanks to everyone who spoke up so loudly” shared Motorhead on social media alongside a photo of all five members. “Thanks to the #ROCKHALL2020 for listening and adding Phil and Mikkey. All for one and one for all!” Motorhead were named among 16 artists under consideration for entry into the 2020 Rock Hall alongside fellow rockers Judas Priest, Soundgarden, Thin Lizzy and T Rex among others.
