Stevie Nicks<\/a> didn\u2019t want to take a single minute of her time onstage for granted. <\/p>\n

Anyone is bound to get a little bit of nerves when they start seeing thousands of people waiting for them to sing, and while it can be intimidating, Nicks seems to be totally in control of every crowd she has ever played to when she gets behind the microphone. But even if she knew what her fans wanted and was more than happy to give it to them, that didn\u2019t stop her from passing judgment on those artists who seemed to take their millions of fans for granted every time they decided to take the stage.<\/p>\n

Because if there\u2019s one thing that Nicks was going to make sure of, it\u2019s that she was able to get on that stage as many times as she could. There\u2019s a good chance that anyone else in her position would have wanted to leave Fleetwood Mac and never return after the nightmare that was Rumours, but Nicks wasn\u2019t going to let her feelings interfere with being in a band. She and Lindsey Buckingham had their ups and downs, but they were going to grin and bear it for the sake of the band every single time they played.<\/p>\n

It had to hurt more than a few times when singing songs like \u2018Go Your Own Way\u2019, but that didn\u2019t matter to Nicks. She was in the business of creating art, and even if she wasn\u2019t able to get all of her songs out with her main band, she was willing to do whatever she could in her solo career to get her music to as many people as possible. But there\u2019s only so many times that you can go back to your ex before you want things to stop for good.<\/p>\n

Buckingham had already broken things off with the band<\/a> after Tango in the Night, but when looking at their various reunions over the years, the classic lineup was always willing to make a few appearances here and there. The Dance was the first time it felt like the magic was in the air again after nearly a decade apart, and when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, there was no way Nicks was going to miss it for the world.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Gold Dust Woman\u2019 would eventually become one of the only women inducted into the Hall of Fame twice, but when she was on hand to induct Linda Ronstadt, she had a little bit of a problem with the rest of the inductees. She adored people like Cat Stevens, but when looking at how uninterested Kiss was in performing, Nicks felt like Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley weren\u2019t putting their fans first.<\/p>\n

This was the band that was known for putting on the biggest shows of all time, so to have them not perform was a massive disappointment for Nicks, saying<\/a>, \u201cIt is their loss that they didn\u2019t play, because the Kiss Army is out there, right now screaming for them. And they should have played for them, no matter how they felt about it. You know, Fleetwood Mac had about 500 people in it, too. They weren\u2019t all there. All 900 guitar players didn\u2019t get inducted. They weren\u2019t there. So the thing is, you know what? It\u2019s your moment. Take it. Go out there and play. It\u2019s the most important part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their resistance to play might have been because Stanley already had a chip on his shoulder about the Hall of Fame in general, but it\u2019s not like they could have put that aside from just one show. All they needed to play was a few songs, and since Ace Frehley has since departed, there\u2019s no way that the original lineup had a proper wave goodbye to the fans even when they were given the highest honour in rock and roll.<\/p>\n

While there are still some people that insist that the entire Hall of Fame is a farce and shouldn\u2019t really be that big of a deal, that shouldn\u2019t mean that a band like Kiss should sleepwalk their way through the ceremony. They were one of the founders of shock rock, and even if they made as many enemies as they did friends along the way, that shouldn\u2019t mean taking it out on their fans by not performing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
