Rock Hall Reactions

“Soundgarden and Iron Maiden still not being inducted into the Rock Hall is actually ridiculous,” Twitter’s @Hardito_ATX remarked. “Maiden continues to play stadiums worldwide, not arenas, stadiums.”

“I actually thought the Rock Hall wouldn’t blow it by not inducting Warren Zevon which proves that I am a fool,” the music journalist Steven Hyden added.

Rock Hall History

Early this year, the Rock Hall revised its mission statement to be more interpretive of the concept of rock music. Past backlash against the institution has included singer Corey Taylor claiming his band Slipknot would reject a nomination. Simmons once called it “disgusting” Iron Maiden aren’t inducted.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame first opened its doors on Sept. 2, 1995. The museum was established to recognize and celebrate the history and cultural significance of rock ‘n’ roll music, and to honor the artists, producers, engineers and other professionals who have made important contributions.

Since its opening, the Rock Hall has become a popular destination for music fans and has inducted numerous influential musicians and industry figures.
