THE BIG DEBATE

Dom Lawson lambasted The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame’s failure to properly recognise metal last month. Here’s what you had to say about it.

HE SAID

“Unless you think receiving a pat on the head from a bunch of rich people who don’t actually like metal is something to aim for, the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame is manifestly not for you or your beloved subculture.”

YOU SAY

They inducted Bon Jovi over Judas Priest. That’s all I need to know to not care about what the Rock Hall thinks.

Metallica care about The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, so we do too. End of conversati­on.

Yet every metalhead keeps talking about it and getting wet when metal bands get inducted or win Grammys, run by organisati­ons who don’t give two flying sh*ts about the genre. Keep that hypocrisy guys, you are doing great.

Well, it has Def Leppard inducted, that should be reason enough to care about it.

Cornelius Karnak (Twitter)

At the end of the day, if metal gets some extra attention and some bands sell some more records off the back of it, I think it’s good to have metal recognised by the Hall Of Fame. Maiden and others will get in eventually.
