Slayer's Kerry King talks about the RRHOF

The heavy metal band, Slayer has been eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a few years now, but there has not been a lot of online support fro their fans clamoring for their induction nor have we really heard much about their opinion on the institution itself.
This has changed as VH1 spoke with their lead guitarist, Kerry King, who had this to say about the Rock and Roll Hall:
“I’m not making a ploy to get in, but it makes me think, ‘Man, I hope they call my name one of these days.’ I think it took them a long time to get in there. But Metallica basically opens doors for us, because when you think of metal who do you think of next from that generation? Of course there’s Sabbath, Priest and Maiden, without question. But for ‘The Big Four’, you think Metallica. We’ve always been number two on The Big Four shows. So come on, Rock Hall, give us that call! We’re ready! I’ll donate some change or something.”
King is right to a point. Black Sabbath is in, as is Metallica (though they did not have to wait that long, but Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Deep Purple are not in and there has never been any indication that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame respects the genre that much. As for the Big Four, that also includes Anthrax and Megadeth, neither of which seem to be entering the Hall anytime soon.
Still, we have to applaud King for not going the route of so many other snubbed bands that have elected to publically state that they don’t care about the Hall.
At present, Slayer is currently ranked #96 on our Notinhalloffame.com Rock and Roll list.

Former Football HOFers to have a say on who gets in?

The Pro Football Hall of Fame might just be mixing it up a bit.
Currently, a the 46 member selection committee is made up of a media member representing each NFL team, a member chosen by the Pro Football Writers of America and thirteen at large delegates.
According to Pro-Football Talk, this is about to change.
They have reported that there will be an announced change that will have modifications that would allow current Pro Football Hall of Fame members to be a part of the election process.
What those are?
At present, we have no idea, but it was implied that this change could take affect as soon as this or next year.
The question that we here at Notinhalloffame.com ask is two fold:
First, just how will this work and when will we find out?
Second, will it allow the football players similar power like past Baseball Players who are on the Veteran’s Committee who have inducted very few players into the Hall?
Either way, it will be interesting and we are eagerly awaiting to see what happens next!
