Actually, that isn't true. The lineup can be whoever you want it to be. it doesn't have to include all the band members or it can include everyone.
The Artist have to pay for every one attending and all their guests. It can get quite expensive. If Pineda went in, then so would Augeri and Deen and so on, it would stand to reckon.
I think all the prior members would be invited but the actual ones on stage would probably be their money lineup from the 80s, just like the way it went down at the WOF.
Journey will be acknowledged for the run they had from 81-86. That's the lineup that will highlighted.
It's not like the band will be recognized for anything they did post 80s anyway (And with lip-syncing allegations, nor would they want to).
Neal doesn't have to invite Perry but I guarantee you they would be crucified in every music publication around the world and possibly be the first band to be booed at an induction ceremony. The band would be ostracized by fans and peers alike.
A happy moment would become a terrible moment of infamy for the one's attending.
They would have to take their website down just like when they gave Soto the heave ho.
Even the plokker sites would probably be ransacked with pissed off loons looking to vent.
