Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame CEO On IRON MAIDEN's Nomination - "We're Thrilled That They're On The Ballot"
February 2, 2023, a year ago
Earlier this week, The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Foundation announced the nominees for 2023 induction, among them... Iron Maiden!
The CEO of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, Greg Harris, spoke with Audacy host Taryn Daly about this year's nominees.
Says Harris: "We have a Pink Floyd wall with the inflatable, so heck yeah. We can put one of those (Eddie masks) in here. It would be exciting... You know, we talked about Warren Zevon, a piano playing, songwriting guy, and then the triple guitar assault of Iron Maiden in the same class. It's really exciting and really fun now. Maiden was nominated once before, but we're hopeful that after the success that Judas Priest had last year that Maiden is inducted as well... We're thrilled that they're on the ballot."
