That is why Iron Maiden is, was, and always will be the greatest band ever.

And I shall be the first to say that it's a shame and I express my sympathy for Maiden. There's nothing justifiable about it in any way. My vote goes to Maiden 100%.

Yeah, it's just a damn shame that someone in such a high status would resort to such childish behavior over a quarrel. Really, think about it. They could've just not booked Maiden for the next Ozzfest. I'm curious to see how next year's sales will compare.

No kidding, being that Maiden is regarded as God in some places.

Unbelievable! I can't believe anybody would do this kind of thing to Iron Maiden. Ozzy and the gang should have their ass kicked.
I am a constant evolving music machine. Oh Man, I just forgot what I was playing. Oh well, on to the next song. :rolleyes:

Wow. Throwing eggs at Iron Maiden is like taking a dump on the pope. What the hell were those osbourne whores thinking?

Yes, Iron Maiden responded well.

Why do the ozzies not like them, anyways? How did this childish feud start?

Apparantely Sharon was pissed off at Bruce Dickinson for some stuff he said in a Kerrang interview.

Just in case anyone is too lazy to do a little google-fu, here's the other side of the incident.


In related news, the band "Bury Your Dead" have issued a statement of non-involvement.

That just rediculos, I think I lost most of my respect to ozzy. Like the guy said, Unless he stops being led around by his wife, I won;t being attending his shows. Good thing I didn't go to ozzfest this year.

Read it. Still no excuse for their actions. Also, whoever wrote that is a dumbass. The reason Iron Maiden brandishes the British flag during "The Trooper" is A. they're from britain, and B. the song is about a battle the british were in, not the Americans.

Yeah that article was pretty dumb. So Bruce may have been a prick but he didnt mess up one of Ozzy's performances.

And yeah, the trooper is about a battle where a ton of English guys were slaughtered against the Russians I believe.....

From what I've been reading there's already video and audio clips from this show out there floating around, but I haven't been able to locate any yet. If anyone happens to, please toss me a link.

I know where to download a recording of the whole thing, but I don't feel like posting the link on the public forum.
