It all still boils down to some bitch not handling things in a professional manner. Bruce was a problem for 20 shows? Then why, as the head of MTVfes..I mean Ozfest let it go that far. Address the problem, pull them off the tour if need be. It's not like there won't be a shortage of flavor-of-the-month bands to add to the bill (although they do book the good band occasionally, especially the early years of the fest).
She wants to act like its a business and pretend she's the man, then be the man, act professional and handle it, be the better person. But no, she had to be 12 and be a bitch & a bratt. Unprofessional is all that it sums up to be.
If Bruce has an ego problem then maybe he needs a wake up call as well. You can't claim to be all about the fans and ignore most of their states on your tours. When was the last time Maiden played Florida? Somewhere in Time I believe. Cancelled shows after cancelled shows until they just stopped putting Florida and some other states on the tour.
Am I a Maiden fan? Yes I am. But I still have the right to be pissed at never being able to see them live because they never schedule a show in Florida. When they have since the 80s, they've cancelled it.
Will there be hell to pay for Sharon. Nope, not one little bit. No band would turn down the chance to tour in front of those numbers if offered. If they did, I'd be surprised. I wouldn't.
On the other side, thank god there's Gigantour. I missed it and regret it, but Gigantour seems to be the answer to Ozfest, and hopefully other acts will band together to do similar outings.
