Dee Snider Says Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Has ‘Arrogant Elitist Assholes’ As Its Committee Members

Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider shared a post on his official Twitter page revealing his opinions about The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and its committee members by referring to them as ‘arrogant elitists’ after a fan asked why would anyone refuse to be on The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, referring to Iron Maiden‘s lead singer Bruce Dickinson.

As you might know, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a museum in addition to being a hall of fame in which there are many documents of the history of rock music and the artists, producers, engineers, and other notable figures who have influenced its development. For many musicians and bands, induction to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a great honor along with even being a nominee.

This year’s nominees included the legendary band Iron Maiden and during an interview with The Jerusalem Post, frontman Bruce Dickinson opened up about being a nominee and stated that he’s quite happy not being an inductee to The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and would refuse if they were to induct.

Here is what Dickinson said:

“I’m really happy we’re not there and I would never want to be there. If we’re ever inducted, I will refuse — they won’t bloody be having my corpse in there”

After seeing the news, a fan shared a post on Twitter asking others why would Bruce Dickinson or anybody else refuse to be inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in addition to expressing his confusion about this refusal.

Here is what the fan said:

“But why would he or anyone for that matter Refuse?? I don’t understand?”

Dee Snider shared a post on his official Twitter page answering that fan’s question by stating that The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame committee members are all disrespectful people who are looking down on metal bands due to the fact that they are not ‘cool’ according to them.

Here is what Snider said:

The RnR Hall committee members are arrogant elitist assholes who look down on metal & other bands that sell millions because we’re not their definition of cool. The fan vote is their ‘throwing a bone’ to the peasants. I want to say FU, but I want them to have to deal with us!”
