Members of Metallica and RATM honour Iron Maiden at Hall of Fame

Iron Maiden were honoured with an all-star performance of 'The Trooper' at the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony over the weekend, featuring some massive names from the rock world.

Despite the metal legends not attending the ceremony, Jack Black was on hand to induct them, before joining an all-star supergroup featuring Metallica's Kirk Hammett and Robert Trujillo, Rage Against the Machine drummer Brad Wilk, Mötley Crüe guitarist John 5 and St. Vincent for a performance of 'The Trooper'. 

Elsewhere, Oasis were another big-name no-show, with Liam Gallagher reportedly preferring to stay home and "stack the dishwasher."

Instead, Better Call Saul actor Bob Odenkirk inducted the Gallagher brothers, describing their music as a "dose of viagra for the ego."

Stephen Wilson Jr. then performed a darker take on 'Wonderwall', which actually got Liam's approval.

Legendary producer Rick Rubin was also inducted, with Neil Young doing the honours.

Rubin kept his acceptance speech short: "Can't kill rock n roll. Thank you!"

The Red Hot Chili Peppers then paid tribute by performing 'Give It Away' dressed as Rubin, complete with long white beards and red sunglasses.

Other highlights included Travis Barker and Cynthia Erivo moving Phil Collins to tears with 'In The Air Tonight', Billy Idol performing alongside Gwen Stefani, and Wu-Tang Clan delivering a medley of hits.

Peter Hook also joined members of Deftones and Chvrches to honour Joy Division and New Order.

Sounds like it was a fever dream of an awards ceremony!
