The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame annual classes always elicits passionate reactions, but we here at Notinhalloffame.com have been open on our belief that they are trending in the right direction. Gene Simmons, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, and founding member of KISS slammed the Class of 2021, citing the snubs of nominees, Rage Against the Machine and Iron Maiden.

Sadly, Rage Against The Machine shut out of RR Hall of Fame. The Hall should be ashamed of themselves….

Simmons has been critical about the Hall before, first regarding the long wait that his band endured, and then when they did get in, that they only inducted the original four members. RATM member, Tom Morello, was KISS’s inductor, and is a member of the Rock Hall committee, who pushed hard for KISS’s induction.
