Guigsy is the original Oasis bassist, whose tenure spanned the band\u2019s formation in 1991 through 1999. That\u2019s the group\u2019s entire golden age. Whitey wasn\u2019t there at the start, but he joined in time to play on 1995\u2019s (What\u2019s the Story) Morning Glory, and remained in the group until 2004. He\u2019s the drummer on four of their seven albums, including their biggest one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tEarlier this week, we flagged this in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame-2026-questions-controversy-1235546698\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> an article that contains eight burning questions about the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2026.<\/a> \u201cIf [Tony] McCarroll is getting in for playing drums with the band from 1991 to 1995, Guigsy should be inducted for playing bass with them from 1991 to 1999,\u201d we wrote. \u201cIt isn\u2019t complicated. The Rock Hall just messed this one up. They need to fix it. #JusticeForGuigsy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tOur #JusticeForGuigsy campaign worked faster than we could have imagined, since <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rockhall.com\/inductees\/oasis\/\">his name now appears<\/a> on the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame\u2019s website as an inductee. We didn\u2019t launch a #JusticeForWhitey movement, but apparently, we didn\u2019t need to. He\u2019s now listed as well.<\/p>\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIt\u2019s unclear what exactly transpired behind the scenes, and these could have been mere oversights that were quickly corrected. There also could have been an intervention from the Oasis camp. Either way, these are the right moves. And we now anxiously await the ceremony on Nov. 14, where we\u2019ll see who from the band is actually going to show up. Guigsy is extremely reclusive; the Gallaghers and the rest of the current lineup quite possibly have no interest in participating in any of this. We could just see Whitey and McCarroll at the podium.\u00a0They can perform a \u201cChampaign Supernova\u201d drum-off.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t(If we\u2019re now in the business of correcting Hall of Fame mistakes, Ronnie James Dio should be in with Black Sabbath, Dave Abbruzzese should be in with Pearl Jam, and Mark Evans should be in with AC\/DC. It\u2019s never too late to do the right thing.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Guigsy and Whitey, as they&#8217;re known to fans, both played in Oasis at the peak of their Nineties&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":606953,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,341,37884,41999],"class_list":{"0":"post-606952","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-oasis","13":"tag-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606952\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
