Iron Maiden has been having an interesting world tour, the highlights thus far being an awesome plane, problems with said awesome plane, and Bruce Dickinson addressing Chinese censorship at a show in China.
Now at a show on May 12 in at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre in Adelaide, Australia, Bruce Dickinson straight up told a fan he'd beat his ass down if he didn't stop being unruly. According to Blabbermouth, there were several reports about the fan.
"I was standing about one metre away from said cunt. Had a cut on his eye and someone ripped his shoe off and threw it on stage as security dragged him over the barrier."
Another fan had a much more elaborate story to tell.
"I was there, and it happened right in front of me.
"So me and my friend were just enjoying the concert, then this guy (who Bruce yells yet) pushes in front of us. He had a Raiders shirt on and looked to be in his mid-40s. He was certainly drunk or on something, considering he could barely stand up straight.
"Now I've been to many concerts, and it's pretty common for someone to push in front of you, so we just kind of rolled our eyes and continued to enjoy the concert. Some bald guy in front of him turned around and said something to him that just set him off. This guy with the Raiders shirt went off and started hitting this bald guy. The bald guy pushed him into me and my friend, he went back at it with the bald guy which escalated into a fight. Three people were trying to restrain this crazy Raiders shirt guy and eventually someone with long hair managed to restrain him before it continued. Bruce stopped the song and said all the things you hear in the video. Eventually the security got him and kicked the douche out in which the show carried on.
"It was a great night, and it's nice to see that assholes like this get kicked out so everyone else can enjoy the show rather than have one douche ruin it for everyone else."
So there you have it. If you get out of line, Bruce Dickinson will hit you.
