oh.. subby did not just dis Iron Maiden.


UP THE IRONS!

SilentStrider: UP THE IRONS!

Subby needs to run for the hills...

Subby CANNOT play with madness.

Subby's wings turn to ashes
To ashes his grave
/Up the Irons!

Up the Irons!!!

I've seen Maiden every few years for over 25 years and they are good today as they ever have been.

They play energetic shows with vigor and stamina.

Subby fails at life and should probably leave Maiden to us grownups and go back to his Hot Topic-sponsored Mallcore^TM.

Up the Irons!

June 9th baby!!


Woooo

You shut up subby!

/goin' to see them tonight in phx.
//gettin' on your lawn

Meh... Dickinson's just trying to protect his day job. One contact high and he can lose his airman's certificate.

I'm not a huge Iron Maiden fan, but as a 99.5 Kiss listener in San Antonio, TX during my high school days, it is pretty difficult to avoid listening to many of their songs. Having said that, it is pretty farking lame for a heavy metal band to be chastising anyone about anything, much less for smoking pot at a concert and claiming it's hurting your lungs. Real hard core dude.

submitter: Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson chastise fan for smoking pot, seemingly unaware that one needs narcotics to be able to tolerate the sad, geriatric display that is up on stage

But, but, subby, they write songs about poems and books! That takes talent!

Subby:

Your soul's going to burn, in lake of fiiiiiire!!!!

now, get off of our lawn!

Maiden May 30th!
up the farkin Irons!!!
/off lawn etc etc

Metal Up Your Ass, subby
Oh wait, that's Metallica.

How about a simple Fark you subby then.

And Bruce, get over it. Plenty of your fans smoke weed, I'm sure you've smoked more than your share in your time too. You chose to become an airline pilot and gave up your THC days, don't be a dick about it.

that is SAD

just like the Simpsons episode where Phish give someone in the audience a hard time.

IRON MAIDEN = wussy pie

SINGER
Okay, okay, hold on, hold on. (sniffing the air) I smell marijuana smoke. That better be medicinal.

PIANIST
If Phish don't see a prescription slip, we are outa here!

DRUMMER
We can wait all night, people.

Hans Moleman (wearing a psychedelic T-shirt) holds up his prescription slip.

DRUMMER
Here we go. (reads it) Whoa. This guy is seriously ill.

HANS MOLEMAN
My doctor never told me that. I had to hear it from Phish.

YAH! AH!
Yes, im so DISSING your band, not for what it is, but for what it has become. There is a distinction.

Sorry , but if you are in band called IRON MAIDEN and you can't handle the smoke from ONE JOINT, you are not a rocker anymore, you are a pussy-whipped freak of nature who should just stay home and enjoy his retirement money, reading Leather-bound transcript of the Oprah winfrey show or crafting some nice flower bouquets

Sorry Bruce, the ROCK CLUB called and they want their membership card back...and this is the uncoolest thing i ever seen, this side of Metallica suing its own fan

/subby


PS, all you guys bitter about my headline can munch from this:

WhatthefarkAnd Bruce, get over it. Plenty of your fans smoke weed, I'm sure you've smoked more than your share in your time too. You chose to become an airline pilot and gave up your THC days, don't be a dick about it.

He's said several times that beer's the only drug that he ever had any interest in. You can't really be a world-class fencer if you smoke anything on a regular basis, can you?

EPIC FAIL

So Bruce Dickinson's changed his message to "less pot"? I liked him better when he promoted "more cowbell."


/yeah, yeah, not the same guy. Don't care.
//this thread's got reefer madness, and the only prescription is more cowbell

Wow, Bruce Dickinson is like Natalie Merchant now.

Except once his pants are on, he makes gold records.

So much for the "smell of acrid smoke" I guess.

Gotta agree with subby on this one- hell, they weren't even that great during their prime!

Not a rickroll (new window)

HappyHarryHardOn: YAH! AH!

Shut the hell up pansy. First of all , your using the word uncool in 2008. Second, I don't take any drugs, or drink beer, but people part like the sea when I walk into a place. Hardcore is an attitude of how you carry yourself. If you think a middle aged white guy like yourself is "cool" sitting in your wifebeater, laying on the couch with a joint in your hand, tell your kids (or grandkids), to bring their friends over and get their opinion of how "cool" you are. I guarantee they laugh in your face.

I'm gonna need more cow bell!!

I put my pants on the same way as you..one leg at a time..but when i put on my pants i make gold records.

/that doesn't even make any sense

hbk72777 yeah but you do hassle other people if they wanna smoke a doobie?

i mean, other than on Fark.

Hated metal in HS. That being said, my friend and I used to swap tapes of his Number of the Beast and my Damaged (4 bars here) in the back of the bus on the way to football games. Yes we were using Walkman's and yes I'm that old.

That's right, I was a punk rock football player who hated nazi skins. Wrap your head around that.

hbk72777:Second, I don't take any drugs, or drink beer, but people part like the sea when I walk into a place.

So... you're Moses?

Going to the Iron Maiden show here in Glendale tonight, subby can kiss my ass.

Subby is just jealous that his life will never achieve this level of awesome. Bow and worship, I say.

And Bruce pilots the damn thing, too. Yet another level of awesome.

">

If it was only non-stoners who bought Maiden albums back in the day they would have made a buck sixty. $1.70 tops!

Ha! I love those remixes - my sides still ache from the Metallica One video.

Its not about who is cool or not cool smoking pot. it's about this:


Who In their right mind, pays 50$ to hear grampa up there giving you a lecture on what you should or should not be doing at a rock concert, of all places???? I can draw something on a napkin if you're still confused


but, chin up, I love this from your post:

"I don't take any drugs, or drink beer, but people part like the sea when I walk into a place"

what the fark does that mean? who knows but its funny! Almost got potential, lets try it out for size:




/meh... So do they part because of your B.O. or because of your extreme corpulence?

Wow, I need some popcorn for this!

I care nothing for Iron Maiden.

Although I once boffed a young lady who was wearing an Iron Maiden t-shirt.

So I hold nothing against them.

I guess Fugazi also didn't rock because they didn't allow moshing at their shows.

Ever sang in a band? It sucks when you have some fools up front blowing smoke in your face. Go towards the back and toke up there.

/Seen Maiden live and enjoyed some reefer towards the back. Had no complaints from Bruce.

He smoked it himself, back in the day, what's he complaining about?

Wow you Iron Maiden fans are a bunch of pussies!

wait a minute here... who's working for who here???? Is it the band working for the audience , or the audience working for the band now? So what now? we need to accomodate to these precious rock stars? whats next? The lights are too bright? My guitar is too loud?


If Ian mackaye of Fugazi, or Henry Rollins from Black Flag, both of them hardcore straight edge , would have pulled a move like that, they would have been either laughed at or beaten up.As a matter of fact, if IRON MAIDEN would have pulled a move like that back in their early days , they woulld have been laughed at too...

So its question of age, then. Look at the old man on stage, coughing like crazy, put out your cig you inconsiderate punk! he's dying up here...


its like my friend said: If you work for the city doing road maintenance, and you suddenly develop an allergy to tar...guess what your next move should be?


/and yes, even tho Fugazi and Minor Threat make great music, the no moshing policy is pretty gay, imho, but its always the same with Ian mackaye: no fun. This guy needs to grow a sense of humor

I'm not sure who I should agree with, but I want to give subby +1 for standing up for himself and right or wrong, making a good case.

Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years.

Bruce has changed his tune.

Live After Death - Long Beach Arena, during 'Running Free' he says:

"I don't know if they've been doing strange drugs or too much alcohol but they're real happy up there"

I'm pretty sure he asked the fan to stop smoking, not to stop smoking marijuana. This is normal.

Maynard from Tool makes fun of smokers, as does Les Claypool.

The Bruce Dickenson?

KidneyStone



Yeah, the cock of the walk, baby!

This post is so full of win, it is staggering!

i must sorely disagree with submitter. iron maiden is a good band and they totally rock. granted they are old. however, they are still relevant within the musical genre of metal, and thus are deserving of accolades.

it's always great to see people that smoke cigarettes crucified, but the people that smoke pot so vocally defended. marijuana is weak anyways - it's black tar heroin for me, or nothin'

In defense of Ian MacKaye, I saw Fugazi several times and there was a pit every time. The only times I ever saw them pitch a biatch was if they saw punches thrown or kids/girls being crushed against the stage.

Oh, and Boobies, yr post made me lol. A cousin of mine was dressed down by Natalie Merchant backstage at an REM show back in the early 90's for smoking. He also said that she threw a hissy fit and up and left the stage when someone dared speak after she hit a sour note and froze up during one of her oh so sensitive piano ballads.

/what a twat.
//liked 10,000 Maniacs.

All you straight edge douchebags posting should just STFU, DIAF, and go listen to some Stryper or something.

We're straight edge and we're real hardcore gosh darn it!!!

I remember reading in Circus or Hit Parader in 1983 or so that Iron Maiden had two tour buses, one for the smokers and one for the non-smokers, because Bruce couldn't stand to be around any kind of smoke. So this doesn't surprise me at all, nor does it cost Bruce any cred. I know a good number of singers who avoid smoke whenever possible.
