Iron Maiden Rejects Hall of Fame | Rock Music News

Iron Maiden’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction is getting a frosty reception from the band—especially bassist Steve Harris, who calls the honor “vulgar” and insists rock is a living thing, not a museum exhibit. With their Australian tour clashing with the Nov. 14 LA ceremony, they can’t attend anyway, and Harris says even if they could, he wouldn’t go—“not me.” Lead singer Bruce Dickinson shares the sentiment, viewing the Hall as a place where music “goes to die.” While many bands dream of this moment, Maiden’s focus remains on their music and fans, celebrating it at their Eddfest event this Friday in England. Harris hopes the induction might mend fences with American fans who might be disappointed by their lack of enthusiasm—because for Maiden, it’s always been about the sound, not the statue.
