Gotta respect them. They play so tight at their age and they had there share of partying. There are all about the performance and music and giving the fans everything they have and all they ask is for us to not blow smoke in their faces, simple request, they deserve to be respected
Who's that guy to demand everyone stop smoking? He is in open air stadium and has not the right to order! We are not tin soldiers! It looks Bruce is too old and became too strange. I suggest him to retire, sit on his armchair and enjoy a cup of English tea. The good moments he gave us are too much, there's no need to turn everything to black page. We all are people with different personalities and you ought to appreciate our money we give you. Land off, you are not God. You should check your problem.
Bruce Dickinson knows drugs and alcohol 10 million times more and better than you. A band like Iron Maiden or Rolling Stone doesn't reach that longevity by taking drugs. Although I consider that marijuana does not have REAL harmful effects, I also understand that they are big (old) people who need a clean environment to be able to give their best, since they are not 20 or 30 years old. They are not indestructible, they are human.
He did the same with a flare a few months ago, he is full of shit. Bruce is struggling vocally and is using smoke as a way to cope with that, is not his age of refusal to stop running around, is the smoke, even when they use smoke machines and fireworks. The guy was always a diva, but maiden fanboys refused to acknowledge it, is just that now that diva behavior is leaking into the show.
@@evil_chuck Bruce and maiden in general had always been considered on the lamest side of metal when it came to partying hard. And no, they are not like rolling stones at all, RS were always into heavy drugs.
Bruce seems to have turned into 90’s Axl Rose atm. He even went off on someone with a flare in the crowd at a show in Greece, literally shouted “you Greek cunt”, can’t really say that, he might not have even been Greek

I'm not defending on what he did but almost everyone who is a fan of Iron Maiden knows that they hate smoke. And It's not right for everyone to point their fingers for getting mad about smoke, at someone who is over 60 years old and has defeated throat cancer. And yes, I agree that overreacting isn't right, but at the same time, I think disrespect isn't right either. Just because you bought a ticket, you can't do whatever you want. Sometimes we have to remember that they are just human like us.
I’m a weed smoker but I entirely understood his anger. He’s literally had throat cancer, can’t be too good for him to be trapped indoors singing all night with smoke all around him
@@MaroonieBean Completely understandable, but majority of the smoke that fills indoor arenas comes from pyrotechnics. I love Maiden and always will, but it feels kind of hypocritical to yell at fans while he uses a flamethrower on stage.
it’s only a good reason if that’s really the issue, it’s clearly not as he has no issue with cigarette smokers nor the pyrotechnics. If you want to blindly worship a human being go ahead
Yes, duh. Bruce didn't have cancer in the 80s - and they weren't in their 60s in the 80s. When you get older as a touring musician you have to stay healthy, those are the rules.
I think he did the right thing. You wanna smoke? Take it outside and come back. Just because you want your lungs black doesn’t mean I want your second hand smoke. The smell gives me a headache and I’m trying to have a nice time at a concert.
I smoke. Weed And cigs. And most shows worth seeing are no reentry, so you can't just go out back to smoke and come back in. So I don't. I get all that shit done beforehand like I did for Maiden in Spokane on 09/30. Seriously, if you can't abstain a few hours, don't come.

I mean smoking dude was in the front row and got kicked out, THE FRONT ROW, that's a hardcore fan dude. That dude probably went home and burned all of his Maiden shit. Bruce literally ruined a fan experience to get on a soapbox. I'll never give them a dime or even positive conversation, I only have negative things to say about maiden at this point.
For me, the most unenjoyable part of concerts is all the smoke, from cigarettes and pot. I think it smells terrible, it burns my eyes and the smell gets stuck in my hair, clothes, and skin until I shower. At least if people are drinking, I'm not drinking with them just by standing within 5 feet of them...
Right there with you. I didn’t consent to breath in their drugs. How anyone can think it’s ok to just do that out in public, around all these people, is beyond me.
@@fred718 I mean, that's a lil intense. I don't know the people that smoke, I can't say if they're addicts exactly, I just want people to do edibles or something if they're in a tight space like that. I love metal and rock concerts too, I just don't want the smoke 😵💫
I don't know...seems like kind of a dick move Bruce. This guy might have been the biggest Iron Maiden fan in the world but after this I'm not so sure he would continue to be. Dickenson didn't have to call the guy out, embarrass him, insult him, exclude him all because this person chooses to smoke a little weed which most people who know a thing or two consider to be on par with having a couple beers. So he doesn't personally smoke weed for whatever reason, it's just really not cool to do this to a fan. This definitely lowers my opinion of a guy who I've long respected and considered one of the great metal vocalists.
I love it! As a person that literally wants to vomit from the smell of pot, I appreciate this so much! Respect people around you and smoke pot in your homes. Smoking it out in public is still illegal.
@@anthonygingerich4378 Then you can smoke it at home while listening to Maiden on your stereo. Bruce Dickinson takes excellent care of his voice. Crap like this makes it hard for vocalists. He said his bass player struggles as well. His bass player has to be on all night because of the complexity of their songs. Such disrespect to do it anyway.
Got to respect his decision!! The guy basically had throat cancer and made it back to singing!! I’m sure he doesn’t want to go through that crap again!!
cancer can be caused by anything. there are people who never smoked who have had lung cancer. Bruce is "asking for respect" while at the same time belittling the people he is asking respect from....Bruce should retire if he is afraid of some smoke at a show.
this is the third incident I've seen involving Bruce calling out a fan on this tour.. I have a feeling he may take a break from music again for a while.

Bruce Dickinson takes such good care of his voice. It is crazy he can still hit the notes and for as long as he does still.
would never go see them again to woke to rock!!
Bullshit.
How do you explain The Stones then?
No kidding there awesome 😎
"Old Man Yells At Cloud"
Bruce will have them put AstroTurf down at their next show so he can shout at the kids to get off his lawn.
😂
Bwahaha! Not to mention it'll be nice and soft on Steve's feet.
Oh how far the mighty have fallen..
Who's that guy to demand everyone stop smoking? He is in open air stadium and has not the right to order! We are not tin soldiers! It looks Bruce is too old and became too strange. I suggest him to retire, sit on his armchair and enjoy a cup of English tea. The good moments he gave us are too much, there's no need to turn everything to black page. We all are people with different personalities and you ought to appreciate our money we give you. Land off, you are not God. You should check your problem.
Bruce Dickinson knows drugs and alcohol 10 million times more and better than you. A band like Iron Maiden or Rolling Stone doesn't reach that longevity by taking drugs. Although I consider that marijuana does not have REAL harmful effects, I also understand that they are big (old) people who need a clean environment to be able to give their best, since they are not 20 or 30 years old. They are not indestructible, they are human.
He did the same with a flare a few months ago, he is full of shit. Bruce is struggling vocally and is using smoke as a way to cope with that, is not his age of refusal to stop running around, is the smoke, even when they use smoke machines and fireworks. The guy was always a diva, but maiden fanboys refused to acknowledge it, is just that now that diva behavior is leaking into the show.
@@evil_chuck Bruce and maiden in general had always been considered on the lamest side of metal when it came to partying hard. And no, they are not like rolling stones at all, RS were always into heavy drugs.
Roger Daltrey is the exact same way at WHO concerts. He WILL stop the show if he smells it and will call u out until u put it out
Think they're both Tories now.
Not necessarily tories. That sounds like an ex-smoker reaction. They get pissed because the smell can trigger anxiety.
@@maronhopequeno3033 didn't Bill Hicks claim that "the only thing worse than a none smoker, is an ex smoker."
Rockstar 2022: charge hundreds for a ticket and then judge the audience. Take your man bun and fly away, Bruce.
👍🤣
The man survived throat cancer. Keep your f-ing smoke out of his face! Disrespectful pile of crap!
Bruce seems to have turned into 90’s Axl Rose atm. He even went off on someone with a flare in the crowd at a show in Greece, literally shouted “you Greek cunt”, can’t really say that, he might not have even been Greek
Bruce is becoming a Karen...
Karen Dickinson. Haha.
Imagine smoking a joint to celebrate seeing Iron Maiden for the first time, and this happens.
I can't believe he said "All of that shit stops right here!," like that!😒
I get it but a good percentage of their fans are smokers.
and?
are they so dependent on it that they can't be decent human beings and go out back to smoke?
-a smoker
Especially in cali. Seems like iron maiden got stoned and forgot where they were playing.
@@radioactivetrees9626 or they just grew up
@@Therm0ptic old you mean. The smoke I'm sure irritates his throat at his age and because of his past health issues with said throat.
@@radioactivetrees9626 True, that's another a good reason to be considerate to a performing artist.
Steve don't like Marijuana because he's bored up on speed with fingers like that lol!
Doesn't *
Crazy how mad people got over this. Maybe some people just don't want to get fucking high, how hard is that to understand?
So he went on a 3.5 min rant when they could’ve played an extra song instead. Nice
you're on the wrong page pal.
@@scottjeffery7297 Wtf are you talking about

The setlist is the setlist. Nothing was cut from it for this or any other "rant" or interruption.

Otto: Sit down sit down! You’re ruining it for everyone!
Bruce can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke, setting a great example for teenagers 👍
Like an evangelical boomer complaining
It was a Joint i think..
That is a problem today!!Everything is so strange,so "clean"or sick!!No middle way,no r'n'r!!!Come on guys,dude came on Maiden show,weez a jeez and???Ok I know he(Bruce)had a throat cancer!!So it is a bloody seriously shit!!But he could avoid sucha melodramatic monologue!!UP THE OLD GEEZERS!!!LOVE THEM SINCE 1981!!!
It was the smell of a joint, not cigarette. Ever smelled marihuana? It smells like fking losers and it has a horrendous smell.
@@rabarebra Sex, DRUGS & Rock 'N Roll! Remember.. 🤔😉
they should have played 'Holy Smoke' after this.
The dude was just smoking a joint, not shooting people, cmon…
basically the same
@@rabarebra So that would mean that in my lifetime, I've smoked enough to wipe out half the human race...Strangely, the world's population continues to increase.
@@gandja6696 Troll. You understood.
@@gandja6696 There is a difference collecting all the cigs you smoked your entire life, and then smoke them all at once, than enjoying one cig, dude. LOL
But enjoy, and get cancer, but don't do it at a concert along with innocent people. Get out in fresh air and enjoy it.
@@rabarebra Thanks for recognizing it
I love how Bruce goes on a sweary rant at the audience for 5 minutes then finishes by quoting Shakespeare
If he smoked weed he make it a rap.
didn't read the part about brevity
Aww Nanny Bruce and his little hair bun.
Yea he definitely needs to get rid of that thing.
Lol!
That’s funny shit
LOL
Lookin like some tight ass hipster trapped in some old farts body.
I'm not defending on what he did but almost everyone who is a fan of Iron Maiden knows that they hate smoke.
And It's not right for everyone to point their fingers for getting mad about smoke, at someone who is over 60 years old and has defeated throat cancer.
And yes, I agree that overreacting isn't right, but at the same time, I think disrespect isn't right either.
Just because you bought a ticket, you can't do whatever you want.
Sometimes we have to remember that they are just human like us.
I prefer the smell of marijuana smoke over cigarette smoke
Doesn't matter what you prefer. People can do what they want. Fuckin fascist
Same!
Next up - "Kids on my damn lawn!"
Not even my grandma complained like Bruce!!!!!!!!...
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Your mom did
The first time I ever smelled pot was at the Powerslave tour in Toronto lol.
He can’t sing when people are blowing smoke at him. He’s being kinda prudish for a good reason.
I’m a weed smoker but I entirely understood his anger. He’s literally had throat cancer, can’t be too good for him to be trapped indoors singing all night with smoke all around him
@@MaroonieBean Completely understandable, but majority of the smoke that fills indoor arenas comes from pyrotechnics. I love Maiden and always will, but it feels kind of hypocritical to yell at fans while he uses a flamethrower on stage.
it’s only a good reason if that’s really the issue, it’s clearly not as he has no issue with cigarette smokers nor the pyrotechnics. If you want to blindly worship a human being go ahead
Oh ya that's heavy metal right there ....... Dork
Kind of funny ranting about this at a rock show...like a real "ok boomer" moment lol
Ok zoomer
So in the eighties when they played and everybody was smoking, it was no problem?
They were young...Things change as you get older....trust me
exactly. this is a bunch of shite.
Yes, duh. Bruce didn't have cancer in the 80s - and they weren't in their 60s in the 80s. When you get older as a touring musician you have to stay healthy, those are the rules.
Haha, he was still complaining about this guy the next night!
proper noob
I think he did the right thing. You wanna smoke? Take it outside and come back. Just because you want your lungs black doesn’t mean I want your second hand smoke. The smell gives me a headache and I’m trying to have a nice time at a concert.
Just goes to show how out of touch with reality you are. If you leave the building you cant come back in
Yeah weed sucks! There's a reason they call it dope!!!😜🤪
I smoke. Weed And cigs. And most shows worth seeing are no reentry, so you can't just go out back to smoke and come back in. So I don't. I get all that shit done beforehand like I did for Maiden in Spokane on 09/30. Seriously, if you can't abstain a few hours, don't come.
@@ericmork630 You know what's real funny? The man making the speech came from the generation which preached about freedom of choice and not to worry about what the other person is doing. Now they have become a bunch of hypocrites. How times have changed. And not for the better!!! Anarchy mutherfuckers!!!! By the way, I'm generation X! Fuck the whiney ass babyboomers!!!!
@@donniewoodland8467 Next thing you know the crazy libs will want you to wear a special diaper Incase you fart. Methane poisoning.😂
I am 57 years old, I have never quit smoking weed I just haven't smoked it in twenty something years. I am little shocked that I actually saw this ,I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. Woke Iron Madien. I Give UP.....
What exactly is "woke" about not smoking weed?
@@jasonspencer8558 It's not the fact that they are not smoking weed. It's the fact that they want to tell people what they can and can't do. If they don't want to smoke that's fine. Why at a concert of all places would they complain about that.I could understand if someone was smoking in church or a daycare center. The left not only wants the government to control our lives,they only want you to do what they want you to do.
@@cajunstacker1376 None of this has anything to do with "wokeness". You sound silly. Last I checked, the Right also want to tell everyone how to live and what they can do. It's the government in general, not right or left.
I would say this is the opposite of woke. He is speaking his mind whether anyone likes it or not. He is not worried about offending anyone.
What a ridiculous old woman.
I get this, I wouldn't want someone blowing cigarette smoke in my face or pouring alcohol on me, just like I don't want to have pot blown in my face while I'm at a concert.
It's legal in Cali. So good luck with that.
@@radioactivetrees9626 I'm just stating my opinion. He's allowed to not be okay with it. Don't need a high and mighty sarcastic response, doesn't make you more important. 😆
@@radioactivetrees9626 But smoking in a venue in any form is not
@@davidmichael1180 although true. Clearly unable to enforce it.
@@Cybersixx. The fact is, it probably irritates his throat which is fair enough but it's not going to be easy to tell them to stop smoking.
Wow grandpa you sure got moody in your old age... News flash you have to be stoned to really ENJOY Iron Maiden
Lol... I love Maiden but Bruce is getting angrier with his age. This is like the second blowup within a month or two of him wigging out about smoke. I totally get it but what is he expecting out of an audience of a few thousand people 😂😂😂
He expects people would be considerate of each other
@@robperry5233 law of averages. Out of 10k people there'll be a few dick heads. Get over it and just play.
@@robperry5233 christ almighty - people have smoked joints at gigs since the year dot. I used to idolise bruce as a teenager in the 80's, but since realised what an utter egotistical prick he actually is. And no, I don't smoke it .
During the Book of Souls European tour he did this big rant about Donald Trump, WTF difference did it make to us, we can't vote for him, funnily enough he didn't do it in America, wonder why? but that's the mega rich left for you, I love bruce but for F's sake give it a rest, the man is slowly losing fans and respect.
@@Stuart_Cox1969 Maiden are bigger than ever so I disagree with that.
Remember him pretending that he thought drugs were cool on the Live after Death video?
Come on Bruce.
Seems like you cant handle it any more!
You get so often annoyed it gets frustrating, and sometimes you get offensive!
Please respect your huge career, the loyal fans and the legacy of Iron Maiden 🤘
He only does this kind of stuff in the USA.
In Latin America everybody would laugh at him
@@rodrigocastellanos5826 In Greece he was ungry about the torches. He keeps finding something to annoy him. I love Bruce and Iron maiden but it looks like he is too old for this shit man.

Its like he became that old grumpy neighbour character in b comedy movies

Just play some fucking music
Rock'n'roll is long dead.
not at all still alive and well
rock stars are so moral these days
Naah there are kids there
Especially old half dead rock stars full of themselves
Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin smoked weed all the time. Maybe Maiden's next album should be "Holier than thou".
love the band and Bruce is an amazing frontman, but it seems everything bothers him nowadays. He's become a bitter old man. I'd hate to think it's time to retire his grumpy ass but geez!
I mean smoking dude was in the front row and got kicked out, THE FRONT ROW, that's a hardcore fan dude.
That dude probably went home and burned all of his Maiden shit. Bruce literally ruined a fan experience to get on a soapbox.
I'll never give them a dime or even positive conversation, I only have negative things to say about maiden at this point.
I agree
For me, the most unenjoyable part of concerts is all the smoke, from cigarettes and pot. I think it smells terrible, it burns my eyes and the smell gets stuck in my hair, clothes, and skin until I shower. At least if people are drinking, I'm not drinking with them just by standing within 5 feet of them...
Right there with you. I didn’t consent to breath in their drugs. How anyone can think it’s ok to just do that out in public, around all these people, is beyond me.
Addicts simply don't care about other people. They are slaves to their addiction.
@@swampcrypt You’re right. It’s a great idea to keep all of your dope smoking at home and not in public around others. Good call. 👍
@@fred718 I mean, that's a lil intense. I don't know the people that smoke, I can't say if they're addicts exactly, I just want people to do edibles or something if they're in a tight space like that. I love metal and rock concerts too, I just don't want the smoke 😵💫
I don't know...seems like kind of a dick move Bruce. This guy might have been the biggest Iron Maiden fan in the world but after this I'm not so sure he would continue to be. Dickenson didn't have to call the guy out, embarrass him, insult him, exclude him all because this person chooses to smoke a little weed which most people who know a thing or two consider to be on par with having a couple beers. So he doesn't personally smoke weed for whatever reason, it's just really not cool to do this to a fan. This definitely lowers my opinion of a guy who I've long respected and considered one of the great metal vocalists.
Well said.
Agree I love iron maiden as a band but seeing fan boys pretend this is classy is sad without his fans this he’s nothing
Iron maiden have their own beer brand 'Trooper'. Alcohol, the most destructive drug of all time.
Bruce's acting like a child
he is child and clown. supporting enslavement system all day long
Dope is for dopes.
I love it! As a person that literally wants to vomit from the smell of pot, I appreciate this so much! Respect people around you and smoke pot in your homes. Smoking it out in public is still illegal.
True and you don’t know if someone has respiratory issues and can’t breathe in smoke
Iron Maiden and pot mix to good together sorry
@@anthonygingerich4378 Then you can smoke it at home while listening to Maiden on your stereo. Bruce Dickinson takes excellent care of his voice. Crap like this makes it hard for vocalists. He said his bass player struggles as well. His bass player has to be on all night because of the complexity of their songs. Such disrespect to do it anyway.
@@lisacoston1412 yeah that’s understandable I don’t even like the after smoke smell either , I gues take edibles then
@@anthonygingerich4378 That would be a perfect compromise!
Steve trying to tell him to cut it the background has me absolutely dying
stop performing old man. Enough is enough, bad in your days you was someone, now you are just a grumpy old man.
I like my weed but there is something to be said about consideration for others, there's a smoking section for a reason.
Coward
Got to respect his decision!! The guy basically had throat cancer and made it back to singing!! I’m sure he doesn’t want to go through that crap again!!
cancer can be caused by anything. there are people who never smoked who have had lung cancer. Bruce is "asking for respect" while at the same time belittling the people he is asking respect from....Bruce should retire if he is afraid of some smoke at a show.
@@Darker_Waters people pay people rules
@@cameroncorrosive925 His show, his rules.
this is the third incident I've seen involving Bruce calling out a fan on this tour..
I have a feeling he may take a break from music again for a while.
Bruce sells beer, so technically he is a drug dealer?
Booze is a far more dangerous substance than pot is
World is going soft...I'd rather smell pot than a fart
Question is what's Brucie been smoking to think wearing those pants is OK? Something stronger than the devil's lettuce I'd say.
it is part of the show as I tell someone who named himself after a B league band
He's a fruitcake, that's all.
Maybe he has a Jim Morrison fetish? 🤔
@@BlindArthurBlake he has no desire to be a drugged out B leaguer
And that's how you loose 50% of the crowd who listens to Iron Maiden 😂

Throws the bass player under the bus...
right like let steve harris talk for himself if it really bothers him lmao

"...Be a lot cooler if you did"
alright alright alright
Bruce is a singer, a damn good singer. And he's just recovered from throat cancer.
Let an old man breathe!
If he was smoking weed from the jump he would’ve never gotten cancer 🤷♂️
@@Mizikame Bob Marley died of cancer. And that man smoked joints the size of drumsticks.

Rather than making a fool of himself for 3 minutes, the band could have played Transylvania from the first Maiden album!
Best comment i've ever seen
I can't take Bruce seriously with that man bun.
U jelaous?
Bruce usually jokes about smelling weed. I bet the smell was actually strong. Why did he say the dude had a big ass lol
