Seriously? (From cleveland.com, btw, granted, not a huge influential media source.)
I love the elites that run the Hall of Shame. Iron Maiden's been performing 20 years longer than Jay Z and sold twice as many albums as him, sold millions of dollars or merch, and sold out STADIUMS consistently everywhere they go.
Like Judas Priest last year, Iron Maiden was in the top five of the fan votes for the Hall of Shame but that counts for NOTHING!
I am from Ohio and have family in Cleveland and Toledo. I go to visit every 3 - 4 years. I have never and will never spend a dime at the Hall of Lame. It really irked me all the way back to the way that they treated bands like Rush and KISS and it continues to this day.
