Iron Maiden concert in September, Bruce Dickinson became irritated with marijuana users in the audience and gave the crowd a lecture.
A video that recently went viral shows the singer slightly irritated during a concert in California on September 21st. Before getting into the topic of marijuana, however, Dickinson can be seen cursing someone in the audience, calling them an "idiot" with a "big ass," but the footage doesn't clarify why.
Then he fires off: “There are so many people smoking weed here that it amazes me you guys can even see it. Poor Steve [ Harris ]. I don’t know if you know, but he hates weed and the smell of it, right? So when he’s trying to play bass, it gets in his way.”
“And that me ,” Bruce continues. “I’m a singer, so it’s obvious. I’d just like to ask for a little respect. If you want to get wasted, do it back there, okay?”

Bruce Dickinson and problems with fans on tour
This wasn't the first time during the Legacy Of The Beast Tour that Bruce Dickinson got annoyed with disruptive fans.
The night after the sermon about marijuana use, the lead singer had to drag a fan offstage by his hair . The intruder seemed content while headbanging along with the band, but after ignoring Dickinson's gestures to leave the stage, he was dragged off by the singer himself.
A few months earlier, in July, Bruce also cursed at a fan for lighting a flare during an Iron Maiden concert, putting several people at risk. "A jerk with a fucking flare!", the singer said on stage.
