Rick Wills, what a lovely man! And Foreigner are now in.
Great interview. Thanks for not talking over Rick and letting him talk!
Great interview I'm a die-hard Foreigner fan what took so long for them to be nominated? Foreigner definitely got my vote they're one of the best rock and roll bands of all time I got to see them twice in Memphis Tennessee feels like the first time tour and then the head games tour Great show😊
Just cast my vote for Foreigner!
Great interview!
"Waiting for a girl like you" has an unusual key change with a passing 'E' if played in Am. Great song and I'm a hard rock fan.
This band is long long over due. So many great albums and songs. Vote them in!
They're IN!! 8-D
Sensational interview Jeremy. I would love to see Foreigner get in.
Appreciate that!! Thank you 🤟🏻
They're In!! 8-)
thank you rick for this interview you dont do enough of them you are like john paul jones in the interview dept lol.............
I Agree With Rick!
Great interview 😂 Sir Rick Wills a great bass player and a class act he was the glue in foreigner
Absolutely agree!
Awesome interview Jeremy….. can’t wait for the next one
Niawen Tray!
Great Interview Seriously enjoyed
Ayyy cheers! Check out the podcast if you can, whenever u stream 🤟🏻
Jeramy I already do brother Fellow Muso love your show you a talented dude
To be quite honest with you, I believe wholeheartedly that Foreigner belongs in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame. However, I also believe that the Rock and roll Hall of Fame is a sham. I'm sorry but Madonna does not belong in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame. Neither do any of these other artists or groups that are not of the rock genre.
Great to see Foreigner and Frampton being nominated!
Now what about Boston, Free, Bad Company, Blue Oyster Cult, Thin Lizzy, Humble Pie and the Guess Who for starters?
How are these bands NOT in the HOF?!?!?
Boston needs to be in!! Also, I talked to Eric Bloom of BOC! It’ll be Fridays episode on the podcast feed 🤟🏻
just voted for foreigner and Ozzie .
Heck yeah!
Foreigner Is In Second Place!
I'd like to hear Richie Cunningham's comments on this interview 🤔
I’m sure the comment will end the way it usually does 🤟🏻😂 also, what did u think of what he said?
@JeremyWhiteShow Articles online say that Page/Plant performed Lucille with Foreigner in 1982, so he's kinda rewriting history by saying they played Pretty Woman. Very interesting 👍
Don’t disrespect foreigner with that cover band keep them out only originals
What took so long ?? 👉 Jan Wenner.
Yep .....
Why did the host turn British at 5:41 ?
We cont lose the diehards
The Hall of Fame forgot who they were.
Screw the R and R Hall of Fame. If one of the greatest bands of all time isn't in it by 2024, it's all political.
