group's official HOF bio page
now includes the two alongside Kilmister, guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke and drummer Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor; Clarke died in 2018 and Taylor and Kilmister both passed away in 2015. Campbell and Dee were not original members of the "Ace of Spades" group, but they both spent more time in the lineup than Clark or Taylor.
In a statement about the addition of Dee and Campbell, the Rock Hall said, "Motörhead experienced two distinct eras, first in the ‘70s and then in the ‘80s, ‘90s and beyond. Phil Campbell and Mickey Dee joined the band in that second era and pushed their sound into new directions."last week that his famously non-conformist old boss would likely be excited by the honor. "I remember when we won a Grammy he was prouder than any of us. He really glowed," Dee said.
After the initial nomination roster left Dee and Campbell to the side, Dee lashed out at what the pair thought was a glaring oversight. "That is pure wrong, I would say, and I know Phil will be very disappointed, too," Dee told. "We've been carrying the flag for 25 years together, and actually brought Motörhead to what it was. We did 25 years out of the 40. The original band lasted just a few years .
At the time, Dee said even if he and Campbell were not added, they planned to show up on May 2 in Cleveland to honor the band. "Absolutely," he said. "I think that's a must. Phil and me have to attend -- and play there, of course. It would be a real honor."
