1. Got to love the entitlement of potheads. Not everyone likes the smell. If you want to get high, do edibles.

2. BROTHER – the most important title in Freemasonry.

3. These guys have gotten so incredibly lame in old age, imagine stopping the show just to narc a guy out for having a good time. This is a rock concert, not the London symphony orchestra.

4. Iron Maiden is the best band ever known and heard and seen. The reason Bruce said what he was because they were at that time in California enclosed arena. They were not outdoors. Get your story straight dude. And quit downing them be glad they tour here when they can. You don't care but they do because they are NUMBER 1 in this crazy world. Love them all! True Iron Maiden fan since 1980 seen 2 of the best concerts they ever did. But they are getting better and better and better all the time.

5. why do you think they call it dope?

6. This is lame. He shouldn't be preaching to his fans like this. Personally, I think alcohol is far more disruptive at shows than weed.

7. It could be that Bruce is concerned about drugs testing for pilots. A fail, even if you are clearly not at fault, is an automatic FAA suspension and would be a long and arduous process to get reinstated. Failing a test due to secondhand smoke is rare but possible.

8. when old farts think they still got it….he should retire with couple of corgies off grid

9. Bruce: Were trying to do 10,000 people a service and you are making it disruptive and uncomfortable for my friend.
   Ya'll: oK kArEN

10. Yall are zealots for the cannibas. I'm not anti weed in any way, but I'd be ashamed if I knew I contributed to the most irritating and uncomfortable part of Steve's day.

11. But it's okay for someone to get smashed off their face from alcohol

12. I'm sticking with the Di'Anno era…

13. If you have to smoke weed to enjoy a Maiden show then you're the problem, not them.

14. Dickinsons a great singer but a horrible tosser of a bloke

15. John Mayer would say who says I can't get stoned

16. pues a mi no me dijo nada

17. Bruce is like that stereotypical old man that gets pissed at everything

18. Wait, bothered by dope smoke up on a stage how far away. And not bothered by all the smoke and residual chemicals from all their pyrotechnics on stage?

19. The mans had throat cancer.

20. OK… so let all the pot smokers out there boycott all IRON MAIDEN Shows from here on out and see how many people show up. If it weren't for pot smoking fans I am pretty sure IRON MAIDEN wouldn't have gone anywhere with their career. Trust me, all the sober people were listening to Billy Joel back then.. IRON MAIDEN, you need to wake up

21. Well said Bruce. What’s the matter with these a-holes? Go and decompress outside losers😂

22. What a tit..

23. The sermon of the man-bun. How humiliating to be on the receiving end of that.

24. I smoked weed when I saw maiden on the seventh son tour and again a couple albums later. Guilty. I’m surprised Bruce could sing when he was engulfed in fog from all their fog machines.

25. "I will not understand why someone would complain about secondhand smoke and not about alcholic burps…" – Pothead

26. He's out of touch with his fans. He's a rock singer not the morality police

27. He been a moaning old woman
    ..Build a bridge an get over it
    Ur in a frigging rick band ..u shud deal with it

    this is like a science teacher moment

28. I'm with Bruce this time, people have to understand that, once you get to a certain age, you're not as tolerant as you were when you were 25 – 35 years old. When they were young they didn't have a problem with the smell of maryjuana because they were more than capable at playing at those high levels, but once you're 65 – 70 years old your tolerance is much lower, at that age they still have to play a two hours long concert once a week in a different part of the world every time, and every time they have to mantain their level of performance they're known and praised for, at that point even a smell you don't like can compromise the performance. You might say "well why don't they retire then?" They still can do it, they still can do what they love the most and they're still in shape and they're able to, but it's not fair that an inconsiderate asshole that smokes weed in the front row compromises their entire show.

29. I’m so sure Bruce never smoked a doob. Or got totally wasted on booze. He’s not so metal.

30. It's time for Iron Maiden to start performing in nursing homes. 🤣

31. I was on acid at graspop 2022…does not smell😜

32. They only like the smell of cocaine

33. Such a pompous prick. Wow.

34. Iron maiden was awesome until she went on this rant about her revolting opinion on cannabis. Cannabis is the only thing keeping me alive since my accident. Fuck you bruce you’re not a rockstar anymore you’re now just a disgusting old woman

35. People are allergic to weed asshole .
    I spend money on tickets .
    Then I have to put up with idiot smoking dope making me sik

36. Bruce is right. Don't smoke at gigs, other people might not enjoy it.

37. Bruce Wankerson

38. Completely insane.

39. Sounds like somebodies butthurt

40. I saw them in 84 on the power slave tour with 9000 dope smokers and never heard him complain one time the whole show about it. I guess you get cranky in your old age, I'm not

41. All our heros of the past have just turned into greedy dicks lol, ya cant complain to the people that made you hugely rich and tell them not to have a good time lol, its a rock concert, lame whiny ass lol

42. Ozzy fleeing the US cause "its too crazy" and Bruce is now a marshmallow who's offended by some weed. LOL

43. Most hardcore Maiden fans are stoners. Just play the song Bruce!!! Lemmy's gotta be rolling over in his grave

44. Him calling weed "dope" is more wild

45. I don’t know why everyone is hating so much on Bruce. He’s not directing his message at every person who smokes weed at his concerts, he’s just irritated when he can literally smell it because it’s being smoked so close to him. Weed smells disgusting and it would distracting , especially as the singer

46. Weed is overrated

47. Nothing new. He did it in 2002 at a show I was at.
    Whatever. He don't like it. So what? People still gonna smoke it anyway.
