- Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson has quite the temper. Unsurprisingly, this has lead to him feuding with a number of notable figures in the heavy metal genre - so with that in mind let’s take a look at some of the rockers who can’t stand Bruce Dickinson.

Do you love or hate Bruce Dickinson?
mixed feelings
Love Bruce.
Mixed
I love Bruce Dickinson and to be fair to him you know he is a pilot and if he don't want to have marijuana in his system and he don't have to it's as simple as that I choose to smoke he chooses not to no big f****** deal
Like the guy everybody got their ways as a long time hard core Iron maiden fan since 1987 seen Iron maiden live concerts at least 7 or 8 times since 1990. And seen Bruce being vocal at fan's or concert goers in Iron maiden concert a few times. First time I saw Iron maiden live in 1990 in Tacoma dome he went off at a fan for doing something disrespecting him I think he said he stop the concert to literally beat him up. But he went on with the concert. Second time I think if memory right Bruce went off at a fan for recording the live concert with a cellphone this was early 2000's when cellphones were kinda common. And before the recent recording of Bruce went off on a fan concert goer he did the same thing in the early 2000's at another fan for smoking Marijuana/pot I think he doesn't like when concert goers smoke pot so close to the stage when he's trying to sing it distracts him from singing. And looses concentration. I personally think he doesn't have a issue with Marijuana/pot it just when he trying to preform and sing when he has a issue with it. He also went off at a security guard at a 2019 legacy of the beast tour in Tacoma dome. For beating up a fan concert goer
I'm 56 years old and have been going to rock and heavy metal shows since I was 15, and I've never met anyone who said that they hated Bruce Dickinson. He is an icon and a class act, and whom I totally agree with. Up the Irons!
I don't hate him but he is arrogant. He a certain class of stuck up public school Englishman which really comes through in interviews. Great singer, great band but a bit of a dick
Poppycock 🤣
Supposed to be funny! It is serious and I have it myself. @lifesshort6048
I hate Bruce Dickinson.
There you go, you never forget your first ;) (Grew up with a father who jammed with AC/DC. I also been to so many rockmetalaltclubrave ect. So yeah, you're a liar, or worse, a contrarian)
LMAOOOOO. I try not to notice it. I am the same age as paul and yes it's there. @lifesshort6048
Met Bruce a couple of times, the guy remembered my name the second time, so being my childhood hero was just jaw dropping. Found him down to Earth and easy to chat to, bloody nice chap
Damn! He’s got a damn good memory. Why do you think he calls out people like Rob and Ozzy? Seems like it’d be cooler to just be happy his memory is so much better and less likely to have dementia in old age. Cool but seemingly intermittently rude and insensitive. Similar with Gene Simmons. My personal experiences meeting him multiple times (including being on stage with him at a birthday show in Windsor) were fantastic. Total class act. But he’s definitely been a documented dick to others at times. People are just people. And when in public eye, our good and bad are highlighted and both exist. Is what it is I guess…
Its under Bruce's honor to even get his name messed with this cunt Ozzy,that bitch Sharon undermine whole band on this show,probably was frustrated watching what kind of dick life gave to her
@DrTomMD who cares if he's a dick to others maybe they deserve it are not all of us Dicks to others on certain days ?
And your post shows your being a dick to him right? Despite him treating you with class just on things you've heard obviously your not an iron maiden fan
I met Bruce once when he was doing his solo tour. He chatted with everyone, signed autographs and was very pleasant. I just think he hates BS and calls it out.
So Bruce wrote a song in 1990 about a story he read in 2001? That's some impressive time-travelling.
Nikki Six is clearly provoking Bruce Dickinson. Since the song criticize them.
I found that comment odd myself! I tend to take all of the youtube vids with a grain of salt. The AI generated ones are the worst! You can tell the producer of those videos are lazy, don't do their homework and just cut and paste wrong facts from other YT videos! Hence the reason they use AI generated voices. It's so no one hears their real voice spewing s++t!
Bruce have more talent in one finger than axl and nikki sixx together in a whole life...
As a performer, who has needed to work with Sharon and Axl, in particular, I would think Bruce was weird, if he hadn't had problems with them
Word!
absolutely and everybody knows it
I don't blame Bruce at all
Fr
Yeah, let's see a list of people that don't like axl. Maybe that's more appropriate.
I'm Native American.
"Run To The Hills" is my favorite song.
Bruce is welcomed to the Navajo Nation if he wants to come.
You don't be a band pushing almost 50 years of success without some hard headedness. Steve Harris and the boys are amazing!!
Rob Halford is a classy guy, much love for that.
I didn't realize Sharon Osbourne was a rocker. Long live Bruce!
Right!??! I just thought she was Ozzy's handler.... his owner
She just married a special needs alcoholic who can't sing since 1982, so apparently she's a "rocker" now.
or a metalhead
Yep. Stupid video title is stupid.
She is just a jewish controller of the band she is the daughter of a jewish milionaire in the industry.
I was there for the Ozzfest 2005 show and it was still by far the best performance of the day! Hallowed Be Thy Name was suddenly cut off right as the performance came to a climax, but was continued, sung, screamed and completed acapella by Bruce and the entire audience. Still gives me chills to think about.
That fucked up. One of their best live songs. Like cutting Parinoid off
I was there too I couldn't believe it like wtf... iron maiden got the carpet pulled from underneath them and shit talked on stage!!! Whaaat!?!?! Sharon was the culprit of it all with her kids. Everyone was pissed off the air was thick that night. Fights broke off in the parking lots and some what of a mini riot bottles flung everywhere!! What a night. It was metal history!!!!
Me too I was there UP THE IRON !!!!!!🤘😎🤘
I think it's wrong for Sharon to cut off music during a live performance. People pay to go see iron maiden. Unprofessional, even if Bruce was the perpetrator
I was there too. Hyundai pavilion in CA. I had no clue what was happening until bob and tom show a couple of mornings later. I remember vividly, Bruce yelling at the fans, "if you're throwing eggs at us then your nothing but a no good ozzy lover." It went doewnhill from there and they left. Sabbath came out after and played a great set still lol
I saw that show with G&R and Iron Maiden in 88, Sac. CA. Guns and Roses was so drunk they could not perform so Bruce got on stage, felt bad for the fans and thy proceeded to play an extra hour for us!!! Bruce is awesome.
Bruce has a amazing voice. Im just in it for the music with these rock bands not the drama.
Ozzy calling anybody "nuts". That's funny
True. the bat head eater:))
he means in a positive way, in a sense "maniac"
😂 😂 😂
In regards to Ozzy, all Bruce said was that he didn't watch his reality TV show because he doesn't like reality TV.
Yep. But that was enough for Sharon to become the bitch from hell. She claimed that Steve Harris had gone to Ozzy's trailer to apologise. Ozzy didn't have a clue what he was on about. Again, though, she embellished it. He said in an interview some time later that he'd gone over to Ozzy's trailer and actually said that "if there was something to apologise for, he would."
During that Ozzfest, wasn’t he giving Ozzy shit for not showing up to his own shows? That’s what I heard, but I don’t blame him for doing so.
He generally stated facts about the ticket prices being too expensive, and bands churning out the same old tunes year in year out with nothing new to offer.
That p i s s e d shaz off.
Yeah, sure
They rolled the carpet out for Maiden, super respect to give 5 shows at their mega venue- so, she flipped out this bad just because dick said he doesn't watch their show?
One of their band members also apologized for manchilds disrespectful mouth and behavior, how sad they enable and babysit that scuz,, this is why sabbath fired Ozzy and once I heard he instructed his blind force fans to break people's arms that throw shit at him and he is a 40/50yr old man- that was it, I'm aok to forgive bad words, mean behavior, ect, but THAT is the most dangerous type of person and he should have been banned from any venue for life.
Also, whether it's a public or private show, messing with the bands power is disgraceful, Sharron gave Maiden great praise but she should have been scrutinized more for the disrespect to the fans and band, no one wants this drama when paying to see the band you came for
All in all, handled badly
Yet, I'll side with Sharron because I'm sick of cause and effect situations where effect is blamed, a wise mind can easily see that if a cause wasn't initiated, an effect wouldn't happen
So, obviously dickinson is a complete pile of crap, not hard to figure out seeing his band knew it, the managers knew it day after day and just think how many dozens of bands play Ozzyfest and we have never heard any childish drama until the anger boy thought he was king and got his paper crown crushed with egg on his face, 🤣
@@matthewwhite3967 Bruce never said anything publicly. He had privately told someone at Ozzfest that he doesn’t need a reality TV show to stay relevant (or something like that), and that’s why Sharon organized IM’s egging and cutting off their power mid-show. All the reasons she gave afterwards were complete fabrications, according to bystanders who were actually there.
Bruce is a living legend ! A man who still loves to perform and not just show up to a gig .
Summarizing the video in what Rob Halford said... in other words: everyone has a big mouth sometimes, that don't makes you a bad person. Period
I've been lucky enough to meet Bruce twice and he was a thoroughly humble and lovely man.
Same here. Just a lovely and totally non entitled man who also happens to be musical virtuoso as well. Long Live Bruce!!!
You guys have no idea what you're talking about. Meeting Bruce on his talk tours,or in small crowds,is not the same as meeting him alone. He's quite literally the meanest Metal musician ever. And I'm a massive fan.
@@glennwarlock1555 I met him at the London youth games when I was fencing after randomly bumping into him he spoke to me for a good 15 minutes, signed literally everything I had with me and he didn't have to do any of that. I met him years later at a secret gig for a Clive burr charity and he was again throughly decent to speak to. I can only go on my experience.
@@glennwarlock1555 You;ve just been paid to say that by Shalom Osbourne(oops convenient type there lol)! You want to talk mean? check out how many smaller bands she has singed and ripped off just like her gangster dad Don Arden when he was alive.
He is...He is not a crybaby and I love this kinda type of man.
Rob Halford is such a class act!
Always is. Can't say the same for Bruce.
Absolutely
And far better singer.
I do like Rob.
I always wonder if Charlotte ask the band to stop playing 22 Arcacia Ave.
I'm a "Paul DiAnno" orig Maiden fan, and while BD is a very responsible pilot, I'm still feeling a bit ripped off about the replacement. I say this with love for the albums from 1982-1988.
Still, for me, the first two IRON MAIDEN albums are the best, and they always will be.
All hail Rob Halford and Judas Priest (1974-1984), AC/DC (1974-1983), KISS (1973-1983), David Bowie (1970-1980) & Black Sabbath (1970-1983) as well!

Bruce rules ! I stand by him all the time ! Best voice in metal ! He has so many accomplishments that no one can match ! He always says the truth! He has no filters !
Love Bruce, he doesn't sugar coat it, doesn't pander, just does everything he is passionate about and is great at all of them. I think some of his peers are jealous of the fact. Pilot, ✔️ Sneaked into war zones to perform gigs, ✔️ Olympic fencer, ✔️ Writer ✔️
Screenplay writer ✔️ Singer of arguably the Greatest metal band ever ✔️
Survived cancer ✔️ Historian✔️
Business man ✔️ owner of an aviation company that created hundreds of jobs ✔️ co creator of one of the biggest beer brands ✔️ The chemical wedding greatest metal album of the 90's ✔️
And to top it all he also flew back soldiers from war zones ✔️
Not a single musician who hates bruce comes close. Bruce is an absolute legend 👏 Long may he piss off his haters by just being an all round legend.
He’s also a very nice Guy! No BS with this man. Sharon Osbourne on the other hand…😳. What a complete fake person.
Right on couldn't have said it better plus Bruce is a wayyyy better singer than ozzy ever was I like some of his stuff but ozzy not a great singer at all Dio on the other hand great singer 👍
Absolutely. The thing about Bruce is that he hates drug addicts and he hates misogyny. He had a guy escorted out of one of his concerts for slapping a girl around. That was when I decided I love him lol So F*k Axl (misogynist) and f*k Ozzy (drug addict.) And f*k the whiny manbaby potheads in his audience. They can smoke their dope at home. Bruce expects a high degree of professionalism from the people he works with. He expects even more from himself. That's why he's such a success, and that's why I respect him so much.
@@kimnielsen146 Yes Dio was great. He was a kind and wonderful person too, according to Lzzy Hale.
Left his wife of 25 years for a younger girl..She committed suicide over it...
A real class act for sure..
Rob Halford is a legend, that kind of answers are what we need more.
Halford may have a dirty little secret that might come out in the next couple years ! Jani Lane was raped by his favorite rock singer prior to joining Warrant ! The word is it was Halford and his manager ! He was slipped a rufi and was gang raped ! Bobby Brown his ex wife 80's rock model was going to expose it in a biography for Jani told her before he died and she believes thats what drove Jani to die of alcohol poisoning sinking in a great depression !! Im not saying Rob is guilty but that is whats been said ! Bobby knows who it is and she should spill it !! No sense in letting a rock icon whoever it be hold onto fans and the spot light if there scum to the earth !!
@@billydeaton3560 source: trust me bro
After a judus show I went were there buses were he came out of the fence we were on the side walk giving autograph and pictures whatta humble person
Rob is a class act ! Bruce is bruce, lol. Love em both. Great pipes the lot ! And both had/still have great stage presence.
Dear Axl, the music that Iron Maiden plays is called Heavy Metal. People tougher and cooler than you play it, and people tougher and cooler than you listen to it.
I met him at The Underworld in Camden. He seemed like a great guy. Bought me a beer.
The dirt was published in 2001. Tattooed Millionaire was released in 1989. WTF are you talking about!? Bruce finds out about the affair after reading The Dirt and goes back in time to write Tattooed Millionaire. You just gave Bruce god-tier powers bro! Up the Irons MoFos!!!
apparently it was his first wife
You caught him somewhere in time
@@BubbaZen10 this doesn't matter - still, how the hell he wrote a song dissing Sixx despite learning about it (according to Sixx himself) only from the book?
The reason why I doubt this story is that Sixx is apparently so stoned that he still tells it despite it obviously not making any sense.
Of course, Bruce could have written the song without knowing that Sixxed slept with his wife or he could have learned about it earlier, but the vrsion that Sixx tells makes no sense.
@@jeanvonestling7408 it matters as it makes the timeline make sense
Not to mention I think the one night stand with Sixx happened with Bruce's first wife not his second wife.
I stand with Bruce every single time. I met him a few times. He's very down-to-Earth and just a very cool guy. After a show, with Rob Smallwood literally trying to pull him away, Bruce came out to greet everyone who stayed behind. He spent about 1 hour with us, which was incredible. I even got to have a beer with him and Adrian. Up the Irons!
Not the experience i had when i met them.. All the guys were great with the exception of Dickinson. He was an arrogant little dwarf with a huge chip on his shoulder.. Horrible little cuxt.
@@asitis8990 I'm surprised. I met him 4 times. He was very nice and down-to-Earth each time. In fact, I felt like he went above and beyond for his fans. I guess even rockstars have their bad days. Nicko, Janick and Adrian were super cool to meet. Especially Adrian. I haven't met Steve and Dave yet.
I kind of think there's a large difference between liking a guy or working with him. I'm quite sure I would have a great time at the barbecue with him. I'm less sure I would like being the person who needed to accommodate him for gigs when there's some kind of trouble. And no idea how rockn' roll rivalry would work out with bands competing for headlining. So I have absolutely no idea if I would stand with him or not. Most likely it would change with the situation.
@CVM GAM You're doubting what I wrote? The meeting I described in detail happened when Bruce came to Toronto for the Accident of Birth Tour in 1997. It was at the Government Bar. (Not sure about the spelling.) Look it up. I first met him in 1994 when he released Tears of the Dragon as a single and came to Much Music in Toronto on July 11. I know the date because it was my birthday. I then met him 2 more times, one of which was at the Brave New World concert in 2000/20001 and again in 2003. Are you jealous? Not sure why you question me.
oh u lucky guy u
I saw Maiden opening up 4 Judas priest when the "Killers" album came out & Priest Opened with "Solar Angels" & embarrassed Maiden like they were nothing Even though Paul D'ianno was the singer at the time, this was at a place called "The Palladium" in N.Y.C....
That would be the ideal concert for me hearing the Killers album and Priest as well.
I love Bruce, but still have soft spot for Paul Dianno, to me the first 2 albums are still the greatest. Seen Bruce many times over the decades (and Blaze Bailey) but only seen Paul once. Later this year I'm off to a gig that has Paul doing his Maiden songs, and KK Priest - Hopefully it won't disappoint :-) @@ozarkrefugee
LOL.
I ran into Bruce Dickinson on a layover in Bishkek. I wouldn’t have wasted the time to even meet ozzy much less have a drink with him.
The thing easily noticeable in just a few minutes is that Captain Dickinson is a genuinely great guy on many levels.
Rob Halford not only is he the Metal God , he's also kind and Humble .
He’s basically the classiest guy here
Halford is a saint. Bless that dude.
I don't like Robs squealing vocals, just not my thing. Priest, just aren't in the same league as Maiden.
Sorry?Who`s "themetal god"? 😂😂🤣
you are clearly at the wrong place @@patmctallica3522
Halford's quote is nice. Similar to how Lars Ulrich said that he does not care about Dickinson's critisism and he still respects Bruce (something like "He said that? Oh, ok, yeah, I still like him").
That seems like the most coherent sentence Ulrich is capable to produce, lol.
And yeah, as much as I like and respect him, Dickinson can be a bit blunt with his statements, and Judas Priest one was one of those moments. However, Halford's response reminded me of why I firstly respect this man as a person, before admiring him as a singer. It was a true class act.
Axel's statement in that interview was against IM, not Bruce himself.
Axel nowadays on stage Is a shame....Bruce not...stop
Bruce is a fucking legend..🤘🤘
Bruce is an incredibly blunt person. The only people who seem to dislike him are those who can’t handle the truth. Hence why most have always only ever had great things to say about him.
Absolutely 💯 up the MAIDEN!!!! Great band… GNR and the muppets that are ozzy can do one.. neither will ever eclipse Maiden
Exactly
I suppose that's one reason I've loved Maiden. Fakes and posers not welcome. They never gave in to get airplay on radio. Though I associate that uncompromising drive that with Steve Harris as much as anyone else. They could have cashed in and be tattooed billionaires many times over.
Mostly just rude. He just publicly trashes people who haven’t said anything about him… who does that? He comes across as the stereotypical full-of-himself rocker.
@@timshipman6395 Ozzy has eclipsed Maiden by quite a bit
Rob Halford, of course, is an absolute gentelman and there's no beef there whatsoever. Props to him!
He's a "diva", not a gentleman.
@Sea Green definitely isn't a diva you need to grow up just as much as the guy who wrote this video lmfao.
@@softseagreens What century are you from? Just sad that you take such a shot at a legend! Do us favor, either grow up or go away!
@@softseagreens Bruce is a Diva, Rob is certainly a gentleman
For the last fifty years, Iron Maiden have ruled the music scene. The proof is by far the largest number of spectators at their concerts. All other bands can take their hat off or envy them. Bruce Dickinson is the greatest showman. Greetings from Serbia!
Well I've been a friend of iron maidens nicko and Steve Harris reached out to me after my house fire and let's face it iron maiden is legend in heavy metal the band has so much talent and is off the charts when music transcends time and generations how can we judge them
Halford took the high road, when he didn't have to. Much respect, as I know I wouldn't have.
Bruce is right, If Maiden is at a show there's a very good chance those are Maiden fans regardless of who else is there. Many bands realized that over the years.
Sometimes rock fans come to a conserts to hear the support, that is a fact..!
Because Iron Maiden is the best live band ever. I've seen all the bands mentioned in this video and the only one that blew me away was Iron Maiden. Motley Crue is awful to watch because Vince can't fucking sing and doesn't try anymore, Axl can't sing anymore either, Rob Halford can still sing but he doesn't have the energy of Dickinson, Ozzy is loopy and gets carried by all these incredible young guitar players he brings on every few years (I saw him with Gus G). Maiden, I saw them in 2010 and felt like I was back in the 80s or something, couldn't believe Dickinson could still sing like that and be running around the stage all night at his age. That was a show I'll never forget.
@@thekween9037 I just was on the Gig in Hannover 2 days ago. It was absolutly mind blowing, they still deliver 200%
@@elikristinhamre2590 sometimes yes, but the headliner band it's their show, mainly their fans and most of the expense falls on them as well.
I've met Bruce twice. Both times he was an absolute gentleman.
As an Iron Maiden fan and casual devil's cabbage enjoyer, I completely agree with Bruce's opinion about people doing at his concerts. The stuff definitely has a very noticeable odor/stench that can stink up an entire room (or any indoor space including an arena) long after being burned, especially if several people are burning it, and not everybody in the audience wants to smell that odor. The most courteous thing to in any public situation to simply light it up outside or ingest the stuff in some way that does not produce smoke when in a crowd of people.
What nonsense! Bruce is one of the greatest frontmen in heavy metal. In addition, he is a very diverse personality. He was successful as a frontman in Iron Maiden, as an athlete, in his best years he was a member of the England fencing team. In addition, he is an airplane pilot, a showman and an artist with frenzied charisma and energy, and a sense of humor. My immense respect and admiration for Bruce!
Just an overrated singer and frontman in heavy metal. As for the rest quite irrelevant and not many people care if he was a member of the fencing team or if he was a pilot.
@@tarasybnios5356 stupid answer to be honest) I wish you hadn't written it. What I said shows that Bruce is a talented and versatile person who is successful in various spheres of life. And this in itself causes respect for him. He is known and loved by millions all over the earth, but who are you and what have you achieved in life, I won't even ask😂
@@user-xz9pv6tp2u haha even more stupid is your answer. You can praise his "achievements" and get a boner out of them but they mean nothing since we are talking about a heavy metal front man and singer. And in the end the only thing that matters is who you truly are. Intellect is one thing and intelligence another if you can comprehend what that means. So what if he is known and loved by millions? So is Ozzy. So is Bill Gates? Is he a great person as well? And who are you to laugh at my comment since you asked about me? What have you done in your life and how you respond to the people around you? Never mind answering since I figured it out just by reading your comments.
@@user-xz9pv6tp2uyou'd blow bruce
@@user-xz9pv6tp2u Agreed. A stupid reply to your statement. Bruce is a real renaissance man. I understood why you showed that he is more than just a dumbass with an amazing vocal talent.
in other words Bruce is a metal legend
Exactly.
Always
lol he's about as metal as Christmas
1) it wasn't just the final show on ozzfest that was sabotaged 2) it wasn't memebers of the crowd that threw water and eggs. It was sharon's kids and zakk wylde and black label society 3)maiden carried that tour since ozzy couldn't perform most nights.
"Bruce Dickinson is unknown to the public" One of the greatest heavy metal singers of all time is not unknown. He's also a constant professional who respects his fans and is a song writing machine and didn't ruin his life, health and career with drugs.
I think the fact that they are together since the reunion for almost 25 years now makes it really clear that they are fine with each other. Being grown men and visionaries I guess they all have their feuds and back and forths but hey, that's normal if you ask me. Legends.
Being professional and doing their job, is all they need, they don't need to be best friends. It's pretty clear there is some tension there.
don’t like Axl , don’t like Sharon O - Bruce have taste ❤
I like Axl much more then this bozo
Well Axl is kinda certified ass...
@@VoVoCZ Yeah. Bruce is a lot better than Axl!
@@GhostRider-mm6ky Axl is and always has been a tool. All the talent in GNR comes from Slash and the other guys. Iron Maiden is way better than GNR ever were and Dickinson has more class than Axl ever had.
The thing I love about great musicians and bands is that they will go to almost the ends of the earth to get along well enough to perform and tour for their fans. It's no wonder that the greats are truly loved by their fans the world over
Not sure if you should mention GNR and Iron Maiden in the same sentence.
Bruce is like most British guys. He doesn't like industry BS and isn't scared to just point out when stuff gets stupid, and it often does. He's taken endless crap from music journalists right from back when Maiden first released a record. He has always defended himself and his music from bitchy trend driven wankers.
Bruce wasn't in the band when Iron Maiden first started releasing records though...
“like most British guys” 😂
Brilliantly articulated.👌
Like most British guys? The Brits do not have a reputation for blunt talk, quite the opposite.
like most british guys? if there is something that characterises Brits is their passive agressiveness when communicating what they feel, totally the opposite of what Bruce does.
1) I've never heard of Ozzy flying a 747.
2) Maiden is one of the few metal bands that are drug free. One of the reasons they got rid of Paul D.
3) In 1999 Bruce was ASKED to return.
4) 2022 Devil's Lettuce California incident was an INDOOR smoke free venue. Those smoking should have been thrown out.
Ozzy isn't a world-class fencer either; Bruce Dickinson is a legend and has accomplished more than even most accomplished people accomplish lol
@@xmetax Ozzy did bite the head off a bat. 🤣
And ozzy doesn't write his own music
Sorry man, but playing music like that then telling people not to smoke pot? Does he even know who his audience is at all?
That said, I know it actually does mess with someone's voice if there's too much. Roger Daltrey is the same way about smoke.
@@BubbaZen10 it's one thing to do it at an open air venue. 99% of buildings in the US are SMOKE-FREE. Why is it that only happened in California? I went to the show in Austin, TX and we had no issues and our venue was sold out.
You want to smoke out doors, go for it.
One thing that very few people know abou the ozzfest incident and was confirmed by Bruce, Harris and Murray is that after some people threw eggs at the band the audience started to boo that behavior and after that screamed Maiden for a long period of time, this what a real Maiden fan looks like.
He says it as it is and people don't like the truth. Also, I don't blame a guy for getting pissed at fans for smoking in the front row. They may have paid to be there, but it's his health and well-being. They can do that before and after the show. Maybe don't force it on someone that can't avoid being around you for 2 hours.
Besides many other fans there might not have been fond of weed too
I have seen a few vids where Bruce indeed doesn't act as the best sport towards fans, but again, seen him being fairly down to Earth on many occasions and there's a whole feature documentary how he literally risked his life to perform for fans in besieged Sarajevo during the War - something I haven't seen any of those rockers doing.
He flew British troops home from Afghanistan during that war.
@@weerwolfproductionsdo you understand the war in former Yugoslavia and the one in Afghanistan were two different wars, right?
@@Sobchak2 yes. that war in afghanistan. If i'd just said Afghanistan, it wouldn't be clear that i meant during the war.
Marilyn manson after Columbine come to mind , I only wanted to say that cause it rhymed.
Bruce is right about all of it.
You forgot to mention how Sharon got mad cause Maiden didn't want Eddie on the Ozzfest collage shirt. Sharon wanted the rights to Eddie so she could put him on the tee cause she didn't want Maiden's copy write on the bottom of the tee. The band refused and told her ahead of time. Sharon then went and added a fake eddie-like creature to the shirt.
Sharon: You want Cousin Ed on your shirt? Best we can do is Primo Lalo (Lalo is short for Eduardo)
Agreed. I would still like to hear one good song Sharon or Ozzie have actually written on their own.
I've known kindergarten children better behaved than that. Look Sharon Share-Alike, you can either put the logo on or leave the symbol off. It doesn't surprise me one bit that the boys in Maiden refused to sign over the rights to Eddie for this crapfest. It kinda does surprise me that all this wasn't a deal breaker. Maiden didn't and still doesn't compromise. I'd have walked away.
@@haunter_1845 Ozzy has never written anything in his life. He's great at picking out music and lyrics that work for him but he has always depended on others to write music and lyrics for him. Geezer Butler has written every single lyric of Black Sabbath while Toni Iommi has written every bit of music for Black Sabbath. Bob Daisley wrote all the lyrics for all of Ozzy's hit music in the 80s and 90s. Ozzy's just a singer and without others to write for him, he's nothing.
@@jamesl61520 Yep, and that used to be something you could read on an album sleeve, but you don't really get those anymore.
Bruce is one of the brightest most inspireing people on this planet. In every show and interview he seemed like a decent human being, so i dont give anything on what happens when alpha-animals clash together.
Do you have any proof of any of the statements other than Sixx's reveal?
The crazy thing is, my dad literally met Bruce, he even has a video of him meeting bruce. He said he met him while in college and apparently bruce had an aircraft there. He took the video back in early 2000s before i was even born. And here's whats crazy, bruce wasn't rude at all. The most kind hearted, person my dad has ever met. Now some of you might say that 'oh bruce was just being nice'.
It wasn’t Paddy who Nikki Sixx was with; it was Bruce’s previous wife, Jane!!!!
I'm in 🇭🇲 and drinking that beer!! (Fear of the dark) say no more!
8:42 Rob seems to be the most awesome guy in metal. He has my respect
Both as a singer and a person.
This comment section restores my faith in humanity and the hard rock community. Everyone praising Bruce and ragging on Sharon Osbourne Levy and Axl Rose. We must protect this man at all costs lads!!
Maiden fans are among the most delusional people
Levy ? IS she jew ?;😮
@Rayure her dad was Harry Levy who changed his name to Don Arden and became one of the biggest and most loathed rock band managers of all time. I think he represented Sabbath and that is how Sharon met Oz.
Axl Rose is a pose ! And Hetfield aprove that ! Sharon is a piece of crap ! Bruce is the LEGEND
Bruce doesn’t have a temper issue. He just doesn’t like bs. He’s actually a very kind man. Just because he left maiden doesn’t make him
bad. It’s a group of people. They all have different wants, needs, and personalities. Others can also be accused wrongly of the same.
Not giving 100% makes him look bad, though
He sucks
He's kind of like a heavy metal version of Elton John in that regards
He's straightforward, down to earth and very intelligent. This video is absolute cancer
... bruh that was three whole decades ago 😂
I've talked to several of the people in this video, some several times (I worked for a metal magazine). Everyone has been really nice except for Axl. The nicest was Rob and Bruce might be second. I can understand if a sports guy and a drug guy have difficulties in finding common ground, not saying one is better than the other.
I used to know the gal that had his baby. She was born about 1987. The gal showed me pictures of her confronting him in an elevator. He was pissed.
I'm a huge Maiden fan and I've always loved Dickinson's voice and stage presence however at the same time I'm a massive Ozzy / Sabbath fan so this is a tough one for me. Full respect to Rob Halford what a classy response to the comments Dickinson made about him - now Halford definitely for me has the greatest rock voice ever.
You can be an Ozzy fan without being a Sharon Osbourne fan, at least I am. Although that witch most certainly saved Ozzy's life there's nodoubt she is a horrible person.
@@jonstiffer4994 been that way for me ever since she fired Jake
you know, you don't have to pick a side FFS!!! Haven't we had enough of that sh1t3...
Axl: "What they do is what they do. I don't know what it is and I hope to never be like that"
Don't worry Axl, you never were and you'll certainly never be. How's Minnie Mouse?
That's actually hilarious
I'm an old rocker, with a rocker, and I like this rocker, what a shocker.
I met Bruce at a record signing when he was with his solo band.
I handed him a NOTB album to sign..I said "This is the best album you'll ever make'..Bruce was very pissed..if I was a guy he would of hit me 😂😂😂
One of the best nights of my life was when I saw Maiden perform in Cornwall colosseum during the somewhere in time tour, 1987,Bruce was one of my idols.
With some exceptions, it seems like the non-bandmates on the list have had lots of problems with lots of people. It's like a Who's Who list of difficult people.
To be honest, followed Maiden on Tour several times, Nicko is the only one to give the fans the time of day. Facts!
Years ago I had four roommates in a big house, we were all musicians and one wrote for a rock magazine. One of the roommates was a drummer who loved Iron Maiden and especially Bruce, who was his idol. He happened to be the only one home when Bruce called the house to do an interview with the magazine roommate. "Hello, this is Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden..I'm calling for..Drummer,"Yeah, sure. "click. " Ring ring...Hey, this is Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden I'm calling for.....Drummer," I don't have time for this s%$t. "click. third time, ?Stop, wait, don't hang up..I'm Bruce Dickinson, calling for........" Starstruck drummer realizing he hung up twice on his hero..."Ughh...Ughh..."
Have a good day 🌈🌈🌈🦄🦄🦄😈
Oh hell. How did that end, did the interview actually happen?
@@Treviscoe Lol yeah, Bruce called back later when the drummer finally was able to talk and told him the guy he wanted to talk to would be home in a few hours.
@@wayneperry7077 That's good to hear.
Cause they all jelly of Bruce Dickinson's greatness and what he still can do at this age
I was at that show in 98 in Québec, I remember being blown away by the opening act I had never heard of. I do not remember Axl saying anything to the crowd about speaking French. Doesn't mean it didn't happen but also means if it did it didn't draw much attention as the population here tends to take hard notice of stuff like that. Of course G'n'R and Maiden are quite different and I wouldn't want it any other way so in that regard I don't take offense to the comments Axl is said to have made about Maiden here. My 2¢.
Must admit, when i first saw Dickinson fronting maiden in the early years, i thought we're in for trouble from him. But , what I've seen of him, he seems to be honest, down to earth bloke.
Absolutely love Bruce and of course I'd recognize him if I accidentally bumped into him. He's a living legend!
Bruce Dickinson, Nikki Sixx and lars ulrich are three of my favourites. They all know what they mean and they don’t care what others pelt at them. They’re rock legends, they know what rock n rolls about
Many of the musicians from those days are worth $50 or $60 million and Ozzy is worth about $200 million, but most of Ozzy's former musicians are only worth about $5 million each and that's after touring with Ozzy for years. Ozzy wouldn't have sold one ticket or 45 record without them. That tells you everything you need to know about how Ozzy and Sharon treated his band members.
Iron Maiden is my favorite band, and Bruce is my favorite singer in that band's history. That being said, I don't think I'd get along with him based on this info.
edit: You DO have to be some kind of asshole to blow weed smoke in a septogenerian's face when he's trying to sing you a song, though, it must be said. Especially when the bass player also really doesn't like the smell. When he says "go out the back to smoke that sh*t", the man sort of has a point. At least fall back to the middle rows. And I say that as an avid pot smoker... Just my two cents. Up the Irons, either way.
HE is onstage and a fucking CRYBABY!!!!
He just wants to keep his voice in top notch state for all of us, concerts, albums etc. Totally understand him. Some of the fans lack imagination and a bit of empathy.
Holy mother of fucking fuckety fucking fuck. Bruce is 64. He's not a septuagenarian!!!! You trying to be smart one upping narcissist. I've yet to meet a halfway intellectual "pot head". You just garnered another nail in the coffin of why pot should be illegal. When you know your doing wrong and try to justify it by trying to use words you don't know knor does the common man know. Just to try to prove to yourself your somehow right? And in the end not only did you misspell it. You got the definition wrong by ten years. Being a narcissist dumbass sucks. Being a narcissist dumbass with half a brain.....well....you know the story.And if you have a "favorite" band you're worse than I imagine. I've been listening to "rock" for 25 since 1991 when music meant something and I have no more of a favorite band than I have a favorite redhead with big tits that swallows and enjoys facials. Have a good day 🌈🌈🌈🦄🦄🦄😈
@@tysonhenry37 Talk about misspellings? you are a dipshit and have no right to harass anyone you fucking idiot (Since 1991 when music meant something?, you are a fucking child by age and temperament, some of us have been around long enough to know that in 1991 the music industry was DYING and has since gone the way of the dodo, but your meaningful time in music must bring back some nostalgia (I miss the corporate rock of the Back Street Boys and Brittany Spears as well, my kid had such great taste in music(NOT), lets not forget HANSON YOU FUCKING MORON
In his face and 15ft away are two very different distances. These people aren't onstage with the guy. Even the front row is a distance from the stage. Bruce is just another grumpy old man. If you don't want people smoking pot at your shows, stipulate it before the show. Don't throw a tantrum on stage and insult the people that paid to come and see you. Dev is right. It's their show, not his. I wouldn't go see Iron Maiden for free thesedays!
Maiden rules. Long live Bruce🤘
I’m sad to hear about the bad words from Bruce about Rob. They did a song together called The One You Love To Hate which is awesome!
Axl is not covering himself in roses with these comments lmao
Bruce is a living legend, period. He speaks his mind and he’s earned that right much like the rest of these folks you’re discussing. Recording, talking to everyone about yourself all the time, touring, and performing is not easy.
He also battled throat cancer so breathing smoke is not his thing. So be it. Lastly, with all due respect, Sharon Osbourne wouldn’t even have name recognition if it weren’t for Ozzy. Good lord, he’s entitled to not be Mr. Lovely all the time. Love Bruce warts and all.
And here I was afraid this would change my adoration for Bruce, his solo stuff, or Maiden. Turns out, it didn't.
When they played phoenix he interacted more with the crowd than any other band I've seen. He's salty, but dang if you didn't feel like a hallowed guest in his house.
This is old, but I just found it. "Hallowed guest in his house." is dead on. I was "in the risers, closer to God!" as Bruce put it, and even those up there, far from The Rail got attention and love. Not just from him, but the rest of the band as well.
Bruce is a legend
The first captioned pic of Nikki Sixx is actually Tommy Lee. Apart from that, I love Bruce. I've never met him, been on tour with him, or blown smoke in his general direction.
Bruce rocks❤❤❤❤❤❤
If that's the list of people who can't stand him, he's doing pretty well after being in the business since the beginning of the 80s.
And half of that list has a beef with EVERYONE, so I doubt the problem is Bruce in their case
I saw maiden back in the 80s... amazing range in his voice.
I think someone needs to fact-check this entire video. I’m over 50 years old and was a huge Iron Maiden fan back in the day and I e never heard anyone badmouthing BD
Bruce Dickinson is a gentleman... Who always told it like it is
Fans can do as they please? Tell that to Dime Bag Darrell.
He played so good, I'd shoot him out of pure jelaously
"Ozzy expressed confusion...". Yeah, well.
Even your comment would confuse him. 🤣
I met him once when he was with Samson, and he came across as a bit of a prick. Maybe he was just having a bad night. Many years later my wife met him. She said he was a gentleman and very friendly. Whatever you think of him he's a great singer
I'd just tell the crowd " you are paying alot of money for tickets and Sharron Osborne is ruining your concert..tell her how u feel"
Y o u spells you.
U is a letter not a word...
Bruce Dickinson needs to take courtesy lessons for Kip Winger.
I was at the show in Anaheim CA last September and I clearly remember Bruce making a funny remark about the copious amounts of smoke that was being put in the air by the attendees (to be fair, a lot of us present were very stoned) . He said that surprisingly, he doesn't partake in the cannabis consumption because he doesn't like the way it makes him feel and that was that. He never berated anyone present at anytime. I think that a lot of times people tend to not understand the crudeness and directness of some Brits.
It's just some people, doesn't matter if youre english or not there are rude people everywhere, yes blunt is rude, there are better ways to say certain things
Halfords response is intelligent
Saw Maiden at the Palladium in NYC in 82 0r 83. Bruce went on a rant about something and threatned to cancel the rest of the show. I cant remember what it was about exactly, but I remember his rant.
