Footage of Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson venting on members of the audience smoking weed during the band’s September 21st headlining show at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA has been making the rounds as of late. After seeing a fan ejected from the audience for allegedly starting fights, Dickinson took to criticizing members of the audience for smoking weed close to the stage.
You can watch that footage below, with Dickinson offering:
“I don’t know what it is. There’s so many fucking people smoking so much fucking dope down here, I’m amazed you can even see. Poor old Steve [Harris, Iron Maiden bassist.] I don’t know if you know, but he absolutely fucking hates marijuana and the smell of it, alright? So when he’s trying to play bass, it fucks him up. It fucks me up. I’m a singer, alright? So duh.
I would just ask for a tiny bit of respect—if you want to go get completely stoned out of your fucking mind, go out the back and do it. Alright? Otherwise you’re going to end up like this fucking knucklehead here going ‘uhhhh.'”
Hatebreed, etc. vocalist Jamey Jasta commented on the footage earlier today, October 24th:
Bruce Dickinson if you read this. Hi. You’re a great vocalist/frontman. We took your son’s band on tour. Hope you are well. Just so ya know. Lots of people like to smoke weed at outdoor concerts. WHAT DOESN’T ANNOY YOU BRO?!?! Besides flying planes? lol you might need a puff or 2
