Maiden over looked again for the rock and roll hall of fame.I know the band say it means nothing to them but they should have been inducted years ago. Its strange they were ever even nominated.

Not really strange, thing is a farce.

As much as I love NIN makes little sense them being on the same ballot as Depeche Mode who should be in already.

First ever time for Thin Lizzy to be even nominated is also baffling.

Soundgarden such a great band but I think it's fair to say only stand a chance due to the demise of the iconic front man sadly.

Slightly deviating, but Priest should be in already (this is their 2nd nomination if i recall correctly) along with Motorhead (who may only, sadly get the nod due to Lemmy's passing 4 years ago.)

Not deviating at all, Priest and Lizzy are 2 of my favourite bands and due to the time elapsed and impact since forming are the most deserving on the list didn't mention Priest as I'd already gripped somewhere on here the time they were nominated first which was only a year or two ago

Bruce’s comments on the HoF probably haven’t done them any favours in getting nominated

But if the band don’t care about getting in, why should the fans?

Whitney Houston is nominated in there somewhere. And Notorious. Wouldn’t lose sleep over maidens exclusion

The whole Hall of Fame is a complete scam anyway.
Half the artists on it don't even deserve it.
And for decades it's been run by white old men who decide who gets in so obviously you have the whole racist overtones then as well.
The whole thing is just to give record producers more power.
When you consider the artists who aren't on it ie Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Ronnie James Dio..
Ronnie James Dio....I mean right there that's a complete joke.
And then you have Iron Maiden...who are and have been the biggest Metal band ever in HM history and still don't get nominated.

Def Leppard got in last year but yeah.

I mean it's right there in the name, ROCK N' ROLL HALL OF FAME, yet somehow Whitney Houston & The Notorious B.I.G are worthy of nomination, no offence to both great musicians when they were alive, but how exactly do they warrant inclusion into a Hall tied to a genre with which they had no involvement.

I though it was a great night. Really enjoyed it. It was on for over 2.5 hours. To be fair he was excellent as a one man show. Full of energy and some funny stories with a few Nicko impressions thrown in. Q&As in the second half was enjoyable. There was a bit of heckling mainly after the interval but it didn’t bother him and never responded to it.
