Iron Maiden - inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame

I think the statement from Rod on their official website was class. No need to go all nuclear like John Lydon. The band will be in Australia at the time of the induction ceremony so they won't even be there.

I know many here don't give a shit about the RnR HoF and I have issues with it as well. But I will say this. As a fan from the USA I am glad to see that they are finally inducted, voted in no less. I view it as validation for a band that should have received and deserved a lot more credit/attention here in the States.
 
The statement from Rod (notice how none of the band members gave a comment?) never mentioned that they are honored to be there lol. They absolutely won't show but I hope Nicko, Blaze, or Stratton show up, or at least one of them. In any case I am happy for Blaze and Stratton, this means a lot to them (unlike the rest band members) I am sure.

You do realise all those quotes from Steve and Bruce on other press releases are written by Rod, don't you? :lol:
 
So now the intriguing bit is whether or not anyone turns up. Video message from Australia? Maybe just Rod and Eddie. Or does Nicko alone turn up? Nicko, Blaze, Stratton together? Or someone like Andy Taylor. Or, do they show their scorn by havin someone competely outside the band to collect on their behalf, like Lars or Lady Gaga.

Or nothing at all. No one goes, no message. Has that been done before?
 
Yeah, after the Rock Hall added Blaze, it was pretty much written on the wall that they’d be inducted this year. So there’s a good chance their induction ceremony will be somewhat underwhelming - no live appearance, no live performance.

Imagine if only Nicko, Dennis, and Blaze showed up - what a treat! The monster squad of the golden, bronze, tin, future-past eras. Huh.

Guns n roses. Steven slash duff and matt sorum were there but no current members of chinese democracy line up and Axl wrote a letter criticizing the RRHOF for inducting the old members and not the new ones that had been there for the same or more years

The cynical part of me had them thinking, "oh, crap. Paul Di'Anno died and Bruce's replacement had a massive heart attack. Better induct them quick before the band really starts dropping off."
