Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson blasts Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

It seems as though Bruce Dickinson would rather Iron Maiden not get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

In the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, metal is disturbingly undervalued. The only people representing the metal world are Black Sabbath and Metallica. Bruce Dickinson seems to be fine with Iron Maiden not getting into this hallowed hall.

In an interview with The Jerusalem Post, "I'm really happy we're not there and I would never want to be there. If we're ever inducted, I will refuse - they won't bloody be having my corpse in there."

Despite the fact that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is supposed to be the guardian of all things rock and heavy music, and people see this hall as being that, Bruce is clearly not among them. "Rock 'n
 Roll music does not belong in a mausoleum in Cleveland. It's a living, breathing thing, and if you put it in a museum, then it's dead. It's worse than horrible, it's vulgar." The singer was clearly angry.

He concluded that, in a Q&A session with fans in Australia "It's run by a bunch of sanctimonious bloody Americans who wouldn't know rock 'n' roll if it hit them in the face. They need to stop taking Prozac and start drinking fucking beer."
