10 Artists Who Openly Dissed Their Fans
7. A Lashing By Bruce Dickinson
In any genre of music, there's always that one guy who decides to use a live concert as an excuse to do something wrong. Since the large gathering of people is more concerned with the person on stage, it's almost like everyone's guard tends to come down for the people around them. As much as you might think you can get away with it, God help you if the band themselves sees you at work.
During a packed stadium show for Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson came across a big muscly dude roughing up some of the over eager fans in the front row. After seeing him start to get a little too physical, you can see Bruce Dickinson start to lose it, as he goes off on him about picking on someone his own size.
This isn't just some passing remark either, as Dickinson goes on for what seems like 10 minutes lecturing this guy before flipping him off and ordering that the security guards remove him. He even takes a few cheap shots at the bouncers, saying that they are too wimpy to even single this guy out because he's bigger than they are. While the crux of Iron Maiden's shows feel like they could delve into anarchy at times, Dickinson will remain ever the professional until the bitter end if he has to.
