Metal Hammer Podcast: Does Anyone Care About The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame?

Merlin rejoins Eleanor and Luke on the Podcast after his two week break, back behind the mic to discuss news from Bloodstock, Slipknot and this year’s Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. As expected there’s not a lot of metal (and still no Iron Maiden), but does it actually matter?

There is also chat about the first time we encountered Metal Hammer, the albums we love that are globally hated and the importance of pushing new headliners.

It also gets very sweary and angry when the team book their own worst-ever gigs. Mid-noughties indie truly was awful.

Don't forget to give us a rating on your preferred platform! And if you really like it, why not leave us a review?

As well as helming the Metal Hammer website for the four years that followed, Luke also helped relaunch the Metal Hammer podcast in early 2018, producing, scripting and presenting the relaunched show during its early days. He also wrote regular features for the magazine, including a 2018 cover feature for his very favourite band in the world, Slipknot, discussing their turbulent 2008 album, All Hope Is Gone.
