Bruce Dickinson Berates Bald Texter

in News

Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden doesn’t like being ignored while performing. Not one bit.

You know how, when you go to just about any theatrical experience in this day and age, you enjoy the show through the glow of cell phones, whether people be shooting videos and pictures, texting or talking with friends?

Well, here in this fan shot footage from last Thursday’s show in Indianapolis, IN, you can hear Bruce yelling at a “fan”, “Ah, for fuck’s sake, the guy with the bald head and the white shirt, you’ve been texting for the last fucking three songs. You’re a wanker!”

After that, you can enjoy the group’s performance of The Wasted Years.
