Iron Maiden 2026 Nominees Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

[Nomadd]

Looks like Maiden will be inducted this year.

I thought the same. They're the only metal act among the nominees, and there were so many moanings, speculations, and accusations of being prejudiced against metal artists. I think they will induct them via the Music Excellence Award. And they never improved the list of IM members before, so... we will see. But the band and management are completely indifferent to that.

If Maiden do get in with Blaze there is a massive disparity that two guys who played on multiple platinum selling albums didn’t get in with their respective band - Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr.

Bob Welch was also famously excluded from the Fleetwood Mac induction.

Mick Taylor should have got in with the Stones.

Mick Taylor should have got in with the Stones.

I didn't know that he wasn't. That's absurd.

I agree with Bruce on RNR hall of fame.

That being said Stratton being there and not Blaze is mental IMO. But I don't expect anything logical from an institution that has Rock and Roll in its name but accepts rap, blues, and pop artists.

Blaze is there too

Can’t wait to see that happen.

Dennis Stratton is one of 3 people alive who can say "I have played on the debut album of Iron Maiden". He must be immensely proud of that, and rightfully so.

Yah, strange update from the hall if they aren't seriously considerin inducting Maiden.

Glad for Blaze. It's correct.

Hoping for a Dennis and Blaze duet of Wrathchild.

I wonder if they do get inducted if they bring a walk on eddie .That is if they even turn up.

Could be a red herring though. Initially, Motorhead's nomination only included the classic lineup of Lemmy, Eddie Clarke and Phil Taylor. The nomination was amended shortly after to include Wurzel, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee (Robbo Robertson too, I think?) Motorhead didn't make it in that year.

EDIT: I stand corrected by a quick search, only Campbell and Dee were added.

Blaze is there too

He wasn't on the initial list. Glad to see that he is added!

View attachment 45701Blaze added!

That's good news.

I wonder if they have contacted Iron Maiden to let them know that they will inducted and Steve's response has been: "Sure, but Blaze needs to be added to the list".

 

[Rob77]

now they just need to get Thunderstick on the list.

According to their website he was?

He is. Same as Ian Stewart, interestingly enough.
