In a brand new interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson was asked about heavy metal’s “enduring appeal.”
He responded:
“I can speak about what IRON MAIDEN‘s enduring appeal is: we exist in our own world. Our fanbase is a little bit like plywood. It’s formed of lots of layers of different age groups. Every layer sticks to the layer underneath it and doesn’t detach. People come to a show expecting to see people of my age, and they get a whole bunch of kids between fifteen and twenty-eight.
“I don’t want to go onstage and look out at a bunch of crumblies my age. People of my age go along to shows, but you never see them in the mosh pit — mainly they’re standing by the toilet, waiting to get their prostate problem solved.”
“We like seeing rabid kids leaping around. That’s what makes our hearts pump onstage. Our music is still fierce. It’s still in your face.”

Mosh pit…for Maiden hahahaha good one Bruce
Dude you have no idea. The only band that ever had more legendary pits than Iron Maiden was Metallica
Fook you we pay your wages
You’ve never been to a Maiden show. So don’t comment. Every Maiden show there is a mosh pit. I don’t participate but it’s there
Don’t forget Bruce but it’s us crumbles who have been buying your albums from the very beginning
And how about your “superman” girlfriend? I’m sure she’s spent lots of time waiting hours in line and getting crushed to death in the put huh?
He forgets, it’s those “crumblies” who put him and Iron Maiden on the map in the first place.
Definitely
Hey Bruce
I’m 60 and still come to your Shows and I STILL MOSH.
Sooooooooo
I’m starting to dislike Bruce.
That’s some loyalty there, thanks Bruce, you never fail to dissapoint
Ummm I’m probably an “Old Crumbly” I’ve been going to Maiden gigs since 1979, yes, I had a problem with my prostate but had it removed, but since when did Iron Maiden have a mosh pit?
All the old crumblies are the ones who have been your loyal fans since the beginning. I understand what you’re saying about wanting a mix of age groups. I think it’s awesome myself. But don’t put down your long time fans!
Bruce failed to mention the depends he wears so he don’t have leave stage every 15 minutes, idiot ? ??
Starting to think Bruce needs to be on the douche list with Lars……
You will how ever take there money won’t you Bruce so shut it!!
