“I would prefer to see an Iron Maiden in there before I would see some of these other ones”
Cooper shouted out the British heavy metal legends – who are set to head out on the road this summer with their ‘Run For Your Lives’ tour of the UK and Europe – during a Q&A session on last month’s Rock Legends Cruise.
The band have been eligible to join the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame since 2004, although they’ve only been nominated twice, in 2021 and 2023. Cooper, meanwhile, Cooper was inducted by Rob Zombie in a 2011 ceremony.
When the ‘Poison’ singer was asked which artists he’d like to see inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Cooper mentioned Maiden, saying: “I mean, come on – Iron Maiden. How can you diss Iron Maiden? They have their own army out there.”
