‘Gold Standard Of Metal Bands’: Tom Morello Wishes To Have Iron Maiden In Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame

As a dedicated follower of heavy metal music and a fan who has grown up with Iron Maiden’s powerful anthems, I wholeheartedly share Tom Morello‘s passion for the band’s long-overdue recognition by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their impact on the genre and my personal life is immeasurable – from songs like “Waste of Space” that fueled my rebellious spirit to “Aces High” that accompanied me through countless moments of triumph.


Tom Morello expresses strong frustration that Iron Maiden has yet to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In a recent interview with The Eddie Trunk Podcast, he voiced his thoughts about the heavy metal band.

A musician who is part of another heavy metal group, Rage Against the Machine, expressed his strong desire to secure Iron Maiden for an event by saying, “If it’s not possible, I would go as far as amputating my own leg like a coyote trapped, just to get Iron Maiden on board.

Afterward, he enthusiastically shared his admiration for the Dance of the Death band, mentioning that while there are numerous other talented groups within the same genre, in his opinion, Iron Maiden remains the most notable band yet to be inducted into the esteemed hall of fame.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but express that Iron Maiden stands as an unparalleled icon in the realm of metal music, yet they remain absent from the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Moreover, Morello mentioned that while Bruce Dickinson, the present vocalist of Iron Maiden, appears unconcerned, as a devoted fan, he personally values the band’s induction greatly.

The musician from the band responsible for hits like “Wake Up” and “How I Could Just Kill a Man,” expressed his eagerness to use all his influence to induct Iron Maiden into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Since 2005, the Hallowed Be Thy Name act has been eligible for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Remarkably, they were actually nominated on two occasions, yet each time failed to secure enough votes from the institution’s members, resulting in their exclusion.

To clarify, much like what Morello pointed out, it appears that Dickinson himself holds no interest in being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Intriguingly, he seems content with his absence from it.

In 2018, speaking to The Jerusalem Post, the lead singer of the Trooper band expressed that if they were ever inducted, he would decline. He said, “I wouldn’t want my remains in such a place.

According to Bruce Dickinson, rock and roll isn’t meant to be confined within a “museum in Cleveland.” Instead, he views it as a “vital, dynamic entity” that would cease to exist if kept static in a museum setting.

In a replacement role, Bruce Dickinson assumed the position previously held by the late Paul Di’Anno, a legendary figure in the band, who sadly passed away on October 21st.
