Maiden Set Hampered By Eggs an

Attendees at last nights' Los Angeles-area edition of Ozzfest at the Hyundai Pavillion at Glen Helen Regional Park were treated to an on-stage spat between Iron Maiden and Sharon Osbourne.
During Iron Maiden's set there were problems clearly visible to the fans. According to a witness, "at least 3 dozen eggs" were thrown at the band during their first one or two songs. Bruce Dickinson was very vocal and used several expletives directed at the person(s) in the audience who were able to "sneak" the eggs into the event. He made a comment that the egg throwing and inconsideration was done by an Ozzy Osbourne fan and "not A Black Sabbath fan." Dickinson said the band would continue playing after drummer Nikko McBrain cleaned up his drum kit.
After the egging there were three power outages, each lasting 3-5 minutes. One song, where the power was cut half-way through, was finished in its entirety. The other two songs were not.
Iron Maiden played approximately one hour with one encore. According to one witness Dickinson continued making, what the witness calls "rather vicious comments that seemed to be directed at the Osbourne camp and crew" regarding the power outages.
Typically, during the break down/set up of the stage between acts, a recorded chant of "Ozzy, Ozzy, Ozzy..." would be played. According to a witness, just when Iron Maiden was finishing their last song, before the last note was struck or the band was able to take their bow and thank the audience, the recorded voice came on drowning out Dickinson's voice and whatever sounds were coming from the instruments. As the voice said "Ozzy, Ozzy...," Dickinson thanked Southern California, but made another comment directed at the crew.
After the set was over, Sharon Osbourne addressed the fans from center stage calling Bruce Dickinson a "prick" and saying he had been nothing but disrespectful since the tour began.
No word yet if this public conflict will impact remaining Ozzfest dates.
A KNAC.COM reporter who spoke with Dickinson during Iron Maiden's induction to the Hollywood Rock Walk on Friday said Dickison had nothing but positive words for Ozzy Osbourne and for Ozzfest.

scrapmetal - 8/28/2005 8:21:49 PM Itsmee:What the fuck are you talking about?Ive been down with Maiden since Day One & understand every song through "Powerslave",in other word,when they were relevant.Why is everyone fixating on the Trooper when "Aces High" is a an equally good story regaling the Spitfire pilots of the Battle of Britian.Oh yeah,they didnt make a video of that one that explained it all!Lets go deep & discuss "Rhime of the ANcient Mariner" or "Quest for Fire",shall we?This flag bullshit is distracting from the truth of what went on during this tour; Dickinson & Sharon osbourne's ego battles.Both need to get off their pedestals and stop ruining the acts they are associated with.
ITSmeee - 8/28/2005 9:20:24 AM scrapmetal if you know Maiden and the story-line (so to speak) of their albums then you'd understand the reason for the flag.
ITSmeee - 8/28/2005 9:17:27 AM oops sorry for the spelling :)
ITSmeee - 8/28/2005 9:16:39 AM I was there and am trying to get my money back. No one mention the fact that all the other bands sound was not loud and Ozzy was turned upway loud like it should of been all day. I was a Ozzy fan, now I think Maiden rocks. Anyone that could totaly rock such a diverce crowd through all of Sharrons bs is truly A ROCKEN BAND.
I also feel for the "How sweet Sharron is" bs that the TV made her look, what a crock of shit. Ozzy by the way was way loaded on somthing I left after the second song. Sharron I agree with dasani let him enjoy himself he's earned it geeze you and the kids cant get any more out of him. Why dont you pramote....JACK....wait a minute .......never mind.lol
