Is Eddie Van Halen in the rock and roll hall of fame?
Iron Maiden have not and probably never will be in the "Rock and Roll" Hall of Fame. The Hall is run by a group of low-lives from Rolling Stone magazine who registered an official sounding name and each year nominate "hip" artists for them to hang out with and their talentless friends. As such, most of the artists in the hall can barely be described as "rock and roll" in any way, and I would rather such an outstanding band like Iron Maiden not be included in such a list of hacks.

Why did Sammy hagar leave van halen?
Eddie invited Patty Smyth of Scandal to replace Roth but she refused. Eddie was then introduced by way of a mutual auto mechanic to Sammy Hagar, formerly of 1970s band Montrose, and at that time a solo artist coming off a very successful year (his 1984 album VOA had yielded the hit single "I Can't Drive 55'"). Hagar agreed to join, also serving as a rhythm guitar onstage to add to the Van Halen sound. The 1986 Van Halen album 5150 was a hit, becoming the band's first #1 album on the Billboard charts.
Close, but:
Although Eddie did want Smythe for the Roth replacement, she was never offered the job. Alex and Valerie forbid the offer from happening. Hagar and Ed had similar Lambos, and were indeed introduced through their mechanic, Claudio.
In 1974, The Van Halen bros met David Lee Roth and Michael Anthony. A few months after that, they started the band Van Halen. They became very popular around LA.
