Iron Maiden have kept their promise not to enter the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, with a supergroup including members of Metallica, Rage Against The Machine and Mötley Crüe, Tenacious D and St Vincent paying tribute instead.
With the band previously announcing they would not be attending the ceremony due to touring commitments, it was left to Jack Black of Tenacious D to induct the band in their absence.
“Has there ever been a band that rocked this hard for this long?” said Black during his speech at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday, November 14. “The answer is ‘no.’ In fact, they’re not even here tonight because they’re traveling halfway around the world.

Maiden, who first became eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2004 and was nominated twice before, made it clear several months ago that he would not attend the ceremony, with Bruce Dickinson in particular criticizing him, calling it “bullshit.”
Alongside Iron Maiden, this year’s Hall of Fame inductees were Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Oasis, New Order/Joy Division, Wu Tang Clan, Queen Latifah, Luther Vandross and Rick Rubin.
The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame ceremony was not broadcast live this year. An edited version will be released on December 8 on ABC in the United States, with the ceremony then broadcast on Disney+ on December 9.
