There has been a lot of criticism over this week’s announcement for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s inductees, including from Gene Simmons.
The KISS rocker took to social media to share his anger over the exclusion of Iron Maiden.
“RR Hall of Fame is a sham not to include Maiden. Disgusting!,” Simmons tweeted.
Fellow KISS member Paul Stanley had previously tweeted out, “Regardless of whether it matters to them, Maiden not being in the [Rock Hall] of Fame is INSANITY. Regardless of who is writing in or not, the Committee must induct them. They have helped spawn an entire genre of music. What else do you need to do??”

Sadly, Rage Against The Machine shut out of RR Hall of Fame. The Hall should be ashamed of themselves….
