KISS’s Gene Simmons Reacts To Iron Maiden’s Rock Hall Result, Shows He Agrees With Dee Snider

KISS bassist Gene Simmons supported Iron Maiden on their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame result and said that it’s disgusting.

As you remember, Iron Maiden took third place on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2021 fan ballot. Although they have been spending 46 years in the rock community, Iron Maiden has not yet been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, just like Judas Priest or Motorhead. 

Recently, Gene Simmons took to his official Twitter account to react to Rock Hall‘s decision. He told that it’s disgusting.

“RR Hall of Fame is a sham not to include Maiden,” Gene Simmons tweeted. “Disgusting!”

He also touched on Rage Against The Machine and blasted Rock Hall. Gene showed with his tweet that he agrees with Dee Snider who told previously that heavy metal is not respected by Rock Hall.

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

Gene Simmons was not the only KISS member who reacted to Iron Maiden’s Rock Hall result. His bandmate Paul Stanley has also sent a tweet about Iron Maiden and Rock Hall last month and said that it was insanity.

“Regardless of whether it matters to them, MAIDEN not being in the @rockhall of Fame is INSANITY,” he said. “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?? @IronMaiden.”
