We are all fans of our favorite band. All over the world, you and I are Iron Maiden fans. I will not talk about other fans. They have another favorite band and maybe another genre. So I'm just going to talk about us. I will talk about the halls of fame. Just because I passed to write my opinion on the Hall of Fame.
So here is the link:
I'm not already a newbie. I've been a fan of this band for 15 or 16 years. Maybe it's a pretty big number. But some of you may have been fans since the 75's and 80's. which is, since the beginning of the band. And some of you today are even 50-60 years old. And It´s great.
The vote (Hall of Fame) has recently ended. If I have the right information, then Iron Maiden finished in 4th place.
Did you vote for Iron Maiden?.
AP: In fact, yes, I voted. I was given free will, an opportunity. Iron Maiden has been nominated. So as a single person, as a gentleman. Even though I didn't have to. But I did it.
There are many things in the world that you can vote for and choose from. For example, as a presidential election, however. :) But these were not presidential elections. But a different kind of vote.
Didn't some statements by the band members influence you?.
AP: Without debate and without unnecessary comments, without remorse, I will tell the truth. Not. And again, I say no.
I know some of the statements that some members of the band have made so far. Although we have had a difficult year since 2020 with the will of a pandemic. But we live in a free world. And we can always decide. You know it doesn't always have to be who said what. But it's about how we can do it ourselves. Because we have a free mind.
Only the members of the band said their opinions. And they answered the way they felt. They were asked a question or someone asked about their opinion. They could even refuse. Bruce had a question during the presentation of his book, I think somewhere in Australia. And Steve was answering an interview somewhere.
Could you tell us what you think?.
AP: First of all, I have to say that I am a fan. I don't think anything about their statement. So I don't have to say anything. Not because I don't want to. I have nothing to say. And my head is clean and empty. And that's good.
If I should think of anything. So then I would have my head full of unnecessary things. But then I could betray the band. And out of honor to them, I can't do that. That would make me feel guilty.
So that's all.
Did statements from members affect voting?.
AP: I do not think so. There was a lot to choose from. So the fans decided. And there votes from the fans split. Considering how many artists there were.
If there were only two. Maybe be won by Iron Maiden. But there were a lot of artists. Even though Iron Maiden didn't win today. But all right, God bless another winner (That's what I can say and wish to the winner).
How do you feel when Iron Maiden didn't win?.
AP: I don't feel any anger. I'm not sad, I'm not disappointed, I'm not surprised it, I'm not angry.
I'm calm. I also took it that in the event of a vote, Iron Maiden would not win. I had such a reserve in my head. And we saw how it turned out.
Never mind, life goes on. I'm sure we'll do some great things together with Iron Maiden.
And what would happen if Iron Maiden won to be in the Hall of Fame ?. Or something else would happen ...
AP: If Iron Maiden won, we'd find out on the official results from the Hall of Fame on their site. Then the Hall of Fame would have to contact the band. And they announced that she won. That would be the usual procedure.
The next step would be that the band and the people of the Hall of Fame would have to have a discussion. About what the program will be like, time hologram, time, place, on an official announcement. If all went well. So the band would be invited to open their place in the Hall of Fame.
The place would definitely be covered by something (maybe a curtain). That curtain should be put down to look around the place (there may be a hidden wall, and there will be paintings, photos related to the history of the band, signatures blah blah blah .... and other things, or statues). That would be a good case.
Another moment could have happened. Such that, even though Iron Maiden would be the winner, they could take their announcements into account. And without mercy to expel them from the halls of glory away. And punish them.
This strikes me as this second moment as very unfair. Well, what if someone said something. It's disgusting and rough. It could have such a distaste and an unpleasant feeling for the band.
The band can be re-nominated. If members of the Hall of Fame do so. But their decisions are strange to me. Iron Maiden could rather be placed earlier and quickly and easily, for example in Madame Tussauds in London. :)
Because the band Iron Maiden has been entitled to be in the hall of fame since 1995, for example. Oh god, does that really last that long?.
DEEP PURPLE has been eligible to participate in Rock Hall since 1993 but was not released until 2016. Wow, hold me.
Another thing is that no one will travel to America just to see the halls of fame in America. But not everyone will have the money. To go there. But the Hall of Fame doesn't matter if the Iron Maiden fan loses a lot of money.
Even though Iron Maiden really was there. So I won't buy anything from the halls of fame. But I only buy goods from the official website of the band (ironmaiden.com).
I said two things about the Hall of Fame. It's not a very popular place in Cleveland, you know. If they had Iron Maiden there, the place was a bit popular, just thanks to the band.
Did anyone know about Cleveland today ?.
I do not know about it. You see. But I know that there are many halls of fame, such as halls of fame: Hockey halls of fame, football, F1, tennis, sidewalk of fame and blah blah blah ....
But the rock and roll hall of fame I sometimes thought existed, when I was in high school. But I had no idea he was somewhere in Cleveland.
The reason is easy, I didn't hear about the place, just because I didn't know about it. Until it was discussed in 2016. You see.
And that we are at the end of my article.
I not sorry that Iron Maiden in there not is. I will glad if Iron Maiden will again go out on the concert tour (2022).
Andrew Pôbiš.
