More on Iron Maiden and the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame
Bruce Dickinson’s ‘maiden’ voyage with spoken word | The Jerusalem, Post
"
You were recently in the headlines for descriptively slamming the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Do you think Iron Maiden has been overlooked?
Ha! I was so annoyed with that coverage because they took my statement out of context to make it seem like I was upset that we weren’t in the hall of fame.
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.
Rock & 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."
