@@chadtaylortornkool true, but man I'm enjoying my late 30s more than I did my teens and 20s , made a lot of stupid mistakes back then, more comfortable and wise now lol
Because it makes you do stupid shit like start fights and commit violent acts, its part responsible for millions of traffic deaths a year world wide and.. oh no wait...that's alcohol.
@@junosynth I doubt people would get second hand high in a big ventilated place. If people could only see the asbestos and invisible pollution in their city's air they would see it as no big deal. A natural plant being burned ash Grey is the least of their problems.
@@krzysztof4114 What’s my point? Or whats this video’s point? Waste of time. It’s just a goddamn no smoking sign everyone is cursing at right now. Its as silly as that :D. I am alright with no-smoking signs I come across in closed areas. Just get over it. Yet, I smoke weed.
I'm 51 and not much bothers me, especially being near someone smoking abit of pot. I guess drinking ya self to death is better aye Bruce you tard. "Don't get high, get drunk, buy our branded beer Trooper", hopefully you'll become an alcoholic thus more fuel for my jet"
@@davidmichael1180 he says he hates marijuana, not smoke in general, if so, he would be annoyed by all the paraphernalia of his own concerts, I absolutely love Bruce, but don't defend his delicate diva attitude xD
@@Troglodyte_2.0 YOU MADE MY DAY with this comment! ALSO, HE ADMITTED IN HIS BIO OF HAVING SMOKED CANNABIS WITHOUT EVER PAYING A SINGLE PENNY, even when already rich, famous and spoiled. A porn addict alcoholic for years.
Can't really blame him. I use cannabis, but I'm not annoying people with it. Some people don't like it, that's perfectly acceptable. These guys are playing for you, just show a little respect. It's not that fuckin' hard.
@@joenelzayasI smoke to not everyone want to get high or have the smell of weed or tobacco on their clothes. I use to smoke cigarettes at gigs and it pissed off a lot of people and this was outdoors.
@@AntecGreeno83 contact highs are bs nonsense unless you're breathing from that person mouth, and its a concert there is going to be smoking and drinking. people having a good time. ADULTS. even the fucking roadies are smoking and drinking 100% lol.
Word. I just like to consume in private, that's all we're really fighting for the right to do. Then you get people glorifying it on RU-vid smoking on planes etc to get reactions and it drives me nuts.
Hmm. Well that was a bit cringe. Does he realize like 75% of his real fanbase are probably stoners? Plus he's in California. When I saw Rush in Vancouver Geddy specifically joked about how good it smelled in the arena and they visibly embraced the fact that they have a huge stoner fanbase.
Notice the comment is not really targeting pot use as he tells the loser to smoke at the back of the Arena. It's about not being a douchebag...the arena has a no smoking policy. If fats ate edibles is this an issue?
@@bobinchainz prove it...how 20 times why not 200 or 10 times? That's a hack comment, RUSH were never as big as Maiden...let's be real , both A league bands but be respectful and don't use hack hyperbole
@@dave...8908 embarrassing to whom? Not mature adults who back everything he says, he us an all time A leaguer and sorry but he dwarfs Geddy is musical stature , he us the greatest frontman in metal history
@Minou69 Hellooo? If you can't live for a couple of hours without some smoke in your system, or you are not being able to enjoy a show without being smashed, don't go to their show, alright?
Don't speak for "everyone" on that, man. Personally it's not so much of the smell as it is the smoke. I get you're trying to have a good time and shit, but I'm not trying to breathe in your smoke and I'm trying to enjoy the concert too. On top of that, concert venues are always gonna sell alcohol, so people are gonna be hammered at concerts. Adding the smell of skunk on top of the smell of drunks doesn't help much. Just be respectful about your smoking and then everyone's happy
I dont like weed or alcohol. I dont even like rock concerts and much less Iron Maiden. I dont like RU-vid either. I dont like myself. I dont like anything. I dont like not liking anything.
Well on the NUMBER OF THE BEAST tour Bruce explained that even though they had no money, they had an abundance of free drug's, Bruce may of not took any, but the rest did. As explained in the REVOLVER magazine.
@@fogzax Very true. I don't smoke skunk anymore and haven't for awhile, if i can get abit of decent hash I'll smoke that. But i found since not smoking how much it really does stink, i guess it's where the term skunk came from, especially that cheese stuff. So i kinda get what he's saying, but there's no way him or the band would get high from the crowed smoking it, just too open, he'll smell the terps but in such a large area the thc wouldn't be enough unless your hotboxing. But that's obviously just my opinion, not scientific fact. Tbh knowing Bruce it was something to rant about as he's a keep fit freak, but then why not say anything about people smoking cigarettes that actually kill people. But then I've never liked Bruce, so there's that lol..
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
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.
I appreciate Iron maiden taking a stand. Weed is a drug and not everyone likes it. Nice to see artist break the drug culture stereotype. He didn't stay quit smoking just stop blowing in there face so they do there job. That includes all the staff at the stadium that may feel the same way and have no voice.
@@bekindandyouwillgofar8717 No. I said that it's a Metal concert and it's part of the territory. The Metal concert experience includes some mayhem. There's the pit, some drug use (including alcohol), some people are dressed wild, there's titties being flashed, an occasional fight breaks out. It's supposed to be a wild time to cut loose. Like a tribal ceremony around a fire. If that's too much to handle then sit in the nose bleeds or watch on youtube. Don't make the experience into some bland, milquetoast garbage because you don't like it.
@Green Pill Theory Relax, his music feeds you, too. When you bought the ticket you didn't buy his lungs, too. Besides he didn't force you to attend at his show. Let me put it this way, I like to **** as much as you like to smoke. But. I don't **** in your room, so don't you smoke in mine.😉
@@zahariasalbatic3961 bruh stadiums are paid for with tax money. That shit is my house, not his. He's renting it and selling back shares of it for greatly "enhanced" prices.
“I can’t believe your mother let you out of the house looking like that! Now get your hair cut and put on a nice shirt if you expect to be welcome at my concert!” - Bruce Dickinson probably
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.
@@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 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.
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.
@@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!!!!
He sounds like Pink in the song “In the Flesh” haha- “...who let all this riff-raff into the room? There’s one smoking a joint, and another with spots, if had my way, I’d have all of you shot!”
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!!!
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
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
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.
Some people have compared this to people getting drunk at shows, saying they're equally problematic: "always tumbling, screaming, puking, fighting..." I agree that drunks at gigs are a nuisance. However, weed smokers are annoying too - not through their behaviour while high but because they're forcing everybody around them to inhale their weed smoke (this is worse for indoor gigs). Others might hate the smell. They might hate the feeling, and really not want to get secondhand high because it gives them anxiety which could ruin the show. This goes double for the band themselves, who are trying to work. When they say your (i.e. the crowd members') behaviour is making them uncomfortable or making it harder to give a good performance, the respectful thing to do is stop whatever you're doing ASAP. *tldr;* irresponsible drunks and irresponsible stoners are both a nuisance, but for different reasons. Smoke it out of the way where you're not forcing others to breathe it in too.
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.
@@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. 😆
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 🤘
@@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.
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.
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 😂😂😂
@@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.
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 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.....
@@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.
Its a concert, people smoke weed especially with all the legalizing. You got pyro that smokes as well as fog and smoke machines and he's not blowing it in your face he's on the ground. Do you really think that smoke is messing with you and was that necessary?
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.
Why you ask.. Probably because he’s a lot older now oh and he wasn’t recovering from throat cancer back then!!! I’m sure he doesn’t fancy going through that again. It’s great he can still sing at all..
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.
I think it's so disrespectful, having a pop at his fans the way he does. He'd be better off, continuing with the concert. People have paid a lot of money to see them and don't want to hear 3 and a half minutes of Bruce moaning!!!!
@@apolloniusbeitsman5444 Oh yeah. When IM started out long ago, those who got into them were pure stoners and drunks. Just like with other metal bands. Bruce should stand at the altar of those stoners and drunks. We won't even go into the fact that coke heads liked them also because of how fast they played. :-)
This is what rock bands and fans have turned into…complaining about weed . I remember the days when bands and fans would party together and revel in getting high and partying. The current time that we’re living in is depressing and sad.
Anyone else think Bruce just goes out of his way to find little shit that annoys him mid show and stops show for that? he's really starting to become like Dave Mustaine. Only with a man bun that desperately needs to be removed. This is Rock N Roll, if you care- Youre unfortunately in the wrong field
Video should be called "Boomer rants about how he is offended by the smell of marijuana." Take away the stage, the audience and the fact that its Bruce, and just imagine some guy his age making the same rant on a street corner in a busy city - you would just keep walking and probably think "what a nutjob".
