The Zombies Acceptance Speeches at the 2019 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony 

And it's also amazing all the original members are still happily married to their first and only wives. And these guys show the true meaning of brotherly friendship all these years- 59 years, maybe longer. They were very underrated.

In my opinion, The Zombies should have been even bigger, they were just as good as the Beatles! I don't care what anyone says or thinks, I've studied their songs and heard their music countless times, even their not so famous songs. The Zombies are more than Amazing and Awesome!!👍🏽👌🏽👏🏽🎶

That is a true rock and roll love story! Rod and Cathy! Now 56 years together! Married 51 years. Congratulations to both of you, God has richly blessed you both

THE WORLD'S GREATEST ROCK BAND THAT EVER LIVED..... 💕 LONG LIVE ROCK & ROLL....

Much deserved & a great mention for Jim Rodford.We were at Jim’s funeral...a year to the day after he died there was a tribute concert for Jim...all 4 living Zombies were there...Argent...they joined together in the finale...Jim’s widow & the whole family were on stage too. As a teenager l lived 150 yards from Rod...saw him often..a huge thrill for a 14-15 year old.

One of the best bands ever! That's a fact! Eternal thanks to The Zombies for so many good moments enjoying their unique music

Thank God for The Zombies!!! Genius band.....Love and deeply respect everyone of them! Especially Rod Argent. When I've listened to Rod's speech, I just burst into tears.....Thanks a lot that they're exist. Always in our hearts.

Mr. Argent is a First Class Gentleman, and a hell of a songwriter!

Happy 78th birthday, Rod Argent!! 🎉

My little high school band in 1965/66 covered the whole Zombies first album. We made them dance to Zombies. Ha!

The British Invasion of America..........great great music and these guys were part of it........an incredible era in music.

LATE BUT NOT TOO LATE ! THEY REALLY DESERVE!

Fantastic!! Rod Argent is beyond amazing!! Fantastic speech!

Such a great band, long overdue.

It's nice to see an old classic band that doesn't seem to carry any significant grudges or acrimony for a change.

One of my all time fave bands. So lucky to have seen them twice, they still blow me away.

Happy belated 77th birthday to Colin Bluestone!

It's the time of the season

All class these guys, love the jazzy touches to their music, doesn't date, just pure music.

It's fantastic they were inducted and they are such gentlemen. I modeled my own voice for years of practice after Colin and a chain of events in 1990 to 1992 changed my personal life forever. There have since then always been two favorite things in my life- hockey and 60s British music. I saw my first game on TV in 1990 and was stunned, but then a week later (I still remember it) we were in the car and "She's Not There" came on the oldies station- I'd never heard anything like it- shockingly emotional and ghostly. Then it was The Left Banke who were like our Zombies, and in 92 the iconic Oddesey. This wasn't an ordinary band nor was Argent or Blunstone's solo career- they left us a beautiful legacy of plaintive, evocative, musical gold!

Long awaited but, very much deserved.....

Really a great speech.. I loved their music, Time of the Season a fantastic song. I own that 45.

😢 wonderful speeches 🧟‍♂️

Just try finding an original mint copy of the Zombies' "Odyssey & Oracle" 1967 masterpiece on vinyl. If you do, it'll set you back $100-$200, likely more. Highly collectible because of the Zombies' musical excellence, vision and, of course, the brilliant "Time Of The Season" cut.

You can tell Rod is forever grateful for everybody he knows

Amazing delivery. Very Special!

I can tell Chris White is forever grateful for the US. 🙂

Such a fantastic band!!

En México los adoramos ❤❤❤❤

Waaaaaaaay overdue!

Very well deserved!!!

Happy 78th birthday to Hugh Grundy yesterday! And happy 80th birthday to Chris White today!!!

Great part of Rock and Roll history!

Love these guys. Have been to many of there shows.

Long time coming

Bill Murray must play Colin Blumstone in the Zombies movie

How about inducting Paul Revere and the Raiders before they are all deceased?

Brooklyn yes sir mr argent

They speak really well.

Amazing band

Happy birthday to Hugh Grundy and Chris White today and tomorrow!!

I don't know if I could stomach one more mention of elvis. I am amazed at how these first three guys still have such a head of hair. Congrats Zombies!

Awesome.

Zombies live on, and on, and on, and on, and on, .......

Rod is a great speaker.

How did I miss this? Maybe I was listening to _Odessey & Oracle_ for the 300th time at the time...

Rip Paul Atkinson.

Amazing Band.. what took you so long R & R HOF..

Colin’s best song wasn’t even with the Zombies, that was “Old and Wise” from the Alan Parsons Project!

This is incredible...I love the Zombies🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

❤

duran duran needs to be in the hall of fame.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼😎

It's a disgrace it took so long for a band who was there at the very beginning. Just shows how incredibly politized the R&R HOF is!

This is le Docteur Raoult !

The Zombies should have been inducted in the early 90's.

The Turtles and The Guess Who need to be inducted.

I always thought Paul Atkinson was the tall guy and Chris White was the little guy. They had very similar facial structures. Doesn't Chris White also looked like a British version of Roy Orbison back in the 60's?

Rod with a full head of hair. lucky bugger.

Was the woman standing by Chris White Paul Atkinson's widow or Jim Rodford's?

Go figure. Three hit songs ... two in my opinion ... Rock and Roll hall of fame. Maybe they were that good.

I am disappointed in the crowd not applauding what he was saying. The fifties were a base run for the hippies of the sixties. So much square Mc Carthyism to fight in America, and there were high school dances in the Midwest that were broken up by the police. We were L 7 squares in much of America in the fifites with only a few rebels and they had no cause. The Brits were ahead of us and inspired us in the sixties and seventies. I can understand why Elvis would have their albums

I wonder if any of them have grandchildren. I know Hugh Grundy has at least one.

Rod Zombie.

All the majors are already inducted, but they have to have one of these every year.

Was long overdue should have been in long ago

It's about time,. It should have happened in the 70's or 80's but they are to busy putting rap and country in the hall of shame instead

Is that Simon Lebon at 10:58?

10:55

I didn't remember a sixth member.

Rod played guitar and sang on Hold Your Head Up, right? Not organ. Right?

Rick Bayless’ British brother

Again long overdue this hall sucks where is benatar foreigner Nugent Tommy James to many to mention

They forgot Keith Airey

Bettet late than never.

The Zombies were active in the late 60s. And voted into the R&RHoF in 2109? Bogus R&RHoF.

Why isn't ted nugget in the hall of fame is because of politics....i hope not

And nobody took the Hall seriously after this.

These guys are so old I think they are actual Zombies.

They stick anybody in there now. And also the Dave Clark? John Mellon fucken camp? Next will be the man Fred man earth band or

Zombies had a few hits but R&R Hall of Fame? Are you kidding?

The Zombies are playing a worldwide livestream on September 18. veeps.events/TheZombies_YT tickets are only $20. You should see them! They're filming it from Abbey Road Studios in London.Once in a lifetime opportunity!
