In a recent interview with The Mistress Carrie Podcast, EXODUS and SLAYER guitarist Gary Holt expressed his apathy towards the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

Holt stated: "I personally couldn't give a shit, 'cause the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame is fucking lame." Despite his sentiments, Holt acknowledges the institution's significance, saying: "It took me a while [to visit] and I'm, like, 'Eh, I'll go check it out for maybe like a half hour.' I was in there for four hours, and there's a lot of cool stuff in there." SLAYER guitarist Kerry King shares similar sentiments, calling the Rock Hall "very cool," but also expressing confusion about its voting process.

King has visited the museum multiple times, including a recent interview with Billboard Brasil where he discussed the band's potential induction.

Despite being eligible for induction since 1999, JUDAS PRIEST was finally inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2022, receiving the Musical Excellence Award.

SLAYER remains eligible for induction, but King remains optimistic about their chances, saying: "If we ever got nominated and the fans elected us to be in, it would be honorable, for sure." As for iconic hard rock and metal bands like IRON MAIDEN and MOTÖRHEAD, they have yet to be recognized by the institution.

The Rock Hall doesn't induct artists until they've been eligible for a quarter century after their first records were released, but the Hall also claims that other "criteria include the influence and significance of the artists' contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock 'n' roll," which is open to interpretation.
