I was at this concert, it was a festival and Rollins Band was playing the same day Iron Maiden was ! This was funny but actually the Rollins Band was well received. I remember them having technical issues with the guitar and played the first song without guitar and then we had to wait while they fixed it !
The story in this video being inacurate makes it not funny at all now. Now it's just making up a story and bashing Maiden and their fans for no reason, painting them in a bad light for everyone. The flight of icarus had some humor (basically putting Bruce in the role of a dumb surferbro), but it was also just rediculing Bruce
Yes, but consider who it came from. Henry Rollins is a colossal douche bag. He’s the most pretentious ass there is. Always pretending he’s some kind of academic. He should be up there apologizing for that sideshow ( Black Flag ) of a band he had. My god they were fucking awful!
blah blah you are nothing but jealous and you wish you were as dedicated to anything they way Rollins is. And you do not have any sense of humor, so why don´t you just stick to your childish metal songs and lyrics? ;D
vacantplanet Long live Maiden! Don't forget guys, the live stream of the new live album is on YT on the 11th. I was in the audience for two of the songs (Download festival, Donington UK last June). 🇬🇧🤘
How great are maiden. They opened for kiss back in the day and the kiss fans wanted more maiden . That's why kiss dislike maiden . Gene Simmons ego took a big hit
Iron Maiden are still my number 1 metal band and I find this absolutely hilarious! Iron Maiden is more than a band, they are performance artists and their concerts are full experiences of the soul!
needles kane you say that as though it's an insult, yet most punk rockers would take it as a compliment, the genre got big by naming itself after an insult and touting itself on it's ability to gain fame and money without a shred of talent.
And yet, the Ramones got bricks thrown at them at their first shows. And it's not that there aren't talented punk artists but talent isn't a requirement for making punk music.
People need to stop taking things so damn seriously... Henry is JOKING. It's what he does. He obviously wouldn't have opened for Iron Maiden if he didn't really like them. Come on, now.
I have a sense of humor but this act was kind of annoying, not because it was an attack on Maiden but because I didn't find it particularly clever or well thought out
Russel Keith we do,but Henry is no comedian,and he makes fun of Walmart shoppers, he's arrogant, his not funny,unless you like snark humor, I also like punk rock, he was in blackflag
cause he´s expressing his actual opinion on metalheads, if you know henry rollins you knos he really don´t like metal... he´s not like Jim Bauer, he make far better jokes about Metal and Metalheads, but you know he does it for the sake of entertainment
exactly, I have been both a big Black Flag/Rollins fan for years as well as Maiden fan but here, like a lot of his act he just comes off comes across as snarky and full of himself almost at a Gene Simmons level.
I adore his honesty. We've all been pissed off by people in different circumstances. He and Bruce should do a spoken word show together. 8 mile metal style!
West coast Slayer fans are the most obnoxious mofos I've ever met. East coast Slayer fans, are usually drinking in the parking lot and leaving you alone to enjoy the other bands.
This is very true. I saw Iron Maiden at Radio City Music Hall in 1984. There were many people who hated the opening band. No one there knew who they were. I thought they were great. The band was Queensryche.
@@Cathal1992edition They were popular however no one knew who they were at the concert. I don't think many people knew who they were in 1984. There were many people who didn't like them however I thought they were great. The sound at Radio City Music Hall was amazing.
He's funny but really iron Maiden did introduce me to a lot of literature and stories I didn't know before so while I enjoy the joke, that band expanded my knowledge.
I walked in before a Maiden show and Alice Cooper was already there opening, it might as well have been a sound check by the roadies for all some people cared. Henry is a funny guy and I think deep down likes Iron Maiden because they just go for it 100% like he does, and they are a fan's band and provide entertainment & connection with the audience. He gets it.
Re: Bruce. Not Qantas. Never Qantas. He's flown for Astraeus and Cardiff Aviation. You might have him confused with John Travolta, who was trained by them and owns several ex-Qantas aircraft, but again, has never flown for them. He is their international goodwill ambassador though.
Wahahahahaha this is great! I'm both metal and punk rock fan. I love both Iron Maiden and Black Flag, and you gotta say those were funny, they were delivered perfectly and didn't came out rudely.
He popped out on a USO (are they still called USO) tour when i was in Qatar many years back... nice bloke. I also love his storytelling here. Thumbs up once more for Mr Rollins.
“Good morning ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain Dickinson... I’d like to thank you for joining us, and I’d like to reassure Mr. Rollins in 27F that he has absolutely nothing to worry about.”
I thought he was pretty funny and accurate! When you open up for Maiden. A vast majority of the fans typically, including me don't give two fucks who the opening act is. We just have to wait agonizingly till.....MAIDEN!
+DaveyMurray1 Absolutely agree with you dude, its just a testament to peoples love for Maiden that opening for them let alone following them is an almost impossible task for most bands and I say this after seeing them live a 100+ times
Guys... fucking chill, this is CLEARLY A JOKE. I'm probably one of the biggest Maiden fans you'll ever meet and thought this was fucking hysterical from start to finish.
+Scott Baldwin i agree, im a die hard Maiden fan and i know Henry is only joking, its a parody of how great Maiden are, this dude has done a lot for metal over the years ,last thing on his mind is disrespect for Maiden, Rollins is cool in my book and as a maiden fan this was funny!
This is funny.. I am a huge Rollins fan and a Maiden fan. Some of Maidens lyrics (2 minutes to midnight, Revelations for example) are beautifully poetic. Seriously.
Now you're just mixing up Henry's bands. Black Flag: DRINKING & DRIVING, Slip it in, Annihilate This Week, Rollins Band: DISCONNECT, Liar, Hero Time And then there's Eddie & the Boyz! IRON MAIDEN ----85% of the catalogue is great live or recorded, the other 15% I haven't heard yet!
Not true at all.....this is the same at about every other show I go to. Saw Sabbath this winter...the opening band came on...Rival Sons....who are fantastic....all the shitheads around me were screaming for Sabbath and booing...again, as if Rival Sons were keeping Sabbath off the stage. Granted, Maiden fans are pretty fanatical, lol
How do you mean? THat everyone was receptive of Rival Sons at your show, or that RIval Sons sucked? I saw the second night at Madison Square garden this winter....in my area, about half the crowd was crowing for Sabbath as soon as the Sons started. Personally, I haven't seen the same at any Maiden show I've ever been to.....they have all had pretty solid opening acts that people anticipated greatly.
100% agree in my first Iron Maiden concert back in 2003 Murder Dolls were opening for them and only few people in the croud supported them. I like Murder Dolls they are fun to listen to and people should learn to give respect to anyone who is on the stage because those guys have gone trough hell to get up there too
hahahah znao sam da si tu naš..evo dobro druže! uživam u glazbi i gledan henry rollinsov govor na wacken open airu..2013..genijlan je..sve je rekao..pogledaj to obavezno!..btw nama su svima murderdollsi bili genijalni, čak smo cd-e pokupobvali..ljudi su se umorili na njihovom konceru..nisu imali snage za maiden ahahha
Oh Henry is telling good stories, i Love them, MAIDEN, MAIDEN ...I start to struggle who i like more: Bruce Dickinson or Henry Rollins...Maybe they are @ the same level...(sorry Henry, but U R no PILOT ) Thank U Exitvim for uploading this video
***** I don't think Dio had a big ego, nor did Dead (he kind of killed himself). I get what you're trying to say but I don't think frontman and ego always go together.
Deli Cheese I see what you're saying. But just from what the interviews I've seen of a good amount of bands it's usually true. Dio was a sweet man and Dead was well, dead and probably too into his image or something.
Dude, i just ordered a flag for every album cover to cover the walls... It was a good start. I watched this and as mental as i am... Bruce has a commercial pilot's license... Now i have yo start on aircraft memorabilia for the fleet
He should try to open a metallica show. I know, I was at this festival where ghost opened for metallica and the crowd was a real bitch and ghost nearly finished its concert.
Iron Maiden has been too big for an opening band for many years. It is unfair for the opening band, and for the fans. Maiden needs to play the 3 hour show like Floyd, Yes, Rush and the others that are way too big for an opening band!

Iron Maiden fans are sweet and cuddly compared to Slayer fans. Now Slayer fans will strike fear in the most hardened person.

maiden was good. then they got bruce.
As an Iron Maiden fan who has seen Maiden live in concert multiple times, I can say this story has 110% accuracy.
No such thing as " 110 %" - large irony here !
My boyfriend is a huge Iron Maiden fan and he laughed way too hard at this
How great are maiden. They opened for kiss back in the day and the kiss fans wanted more maiden . That's why kiss dislike maiden . Gene Simmons ego took a big hit
Paul Stanley is cool with Maiden its just Gene Simmons that's the arse hole.
lol. actually kiss love maiden.
Gene Simmons’ ego is in his own way… He still knows and likes a good band when he hears one.
@Celestial Dragoness gene has a problem with everyone except for gene himself
@Celestial Dragoness it's sad really they are really popular but so many people won't listen to them because of Gane
Iron Maiden are still my number 1 metal band and I find this absolutely hilarious! Iron Maiden is more than a band, they are performance artists and their concerts are full experiences of the soul!
I completely agree!
Having just finally seen them, I agree!!
Been a Maiden fan for 30 some years. This gave me a good chuckle. Rollins is cool. Just chill, all!
+Craig Duncan Yes indeed,some people are taking things too seriously!Hi from France :)
+Craig Duncan yeah..i love them..it's just a joke..
I like Iron Maiden and Henry...I agree with you...get a good laugh!!!... oh, and for the masses... Up The Irons!!!!
Same here. (And I love Rime of the Ancient Mariner) This was pretty funny. That Bruce imitation at the end, hahaha
Being a Spinal Tap fan for 37 years… 🍆
This gave me a good chuckle! And Bruce is basically Nigel Tufnell.
His Bruce Dickinson impression sounds like Sid Vicious talking about Iron Maiden.
Well, he does do the same kind of music as Sid Vicious
***** Yeah, it's called shit.
needles kane you say that as though it's an insult, yet most punk rockers would take it as a compliment, the genre got big by naming itself after an insult and touting itself on it's ability to gain fame and money without a shred of talent.
*****
I think 'The Ramones' would have disagreed. They were extremely talented songwriters, yet were still true to punk.
And yet, the Ramones got bricks thrown at them at their first shows. And it's not that there aren't talented punk artists but talent isn't a requirement for making punk music.
"Rumored ball of fire called the sun"
Yeah, pretty much the UK
Fucking hilarious!
UK DK
You can tell he's talking about Maiden from a perspective of pure love and that Piece if Mind is his favourite album of all time.
No, he's not. He's trying to be nice. Iron Maiden is shit you know.
@@princeofcupspoc9073 Rollins is a total metal junkie. He's talking from a place of love!
@@princeofcupspoc9073 Anime pfp plus I guarantee you listen to prog or something. How about talking to girls for a change?
@@villian99918 Nah, if they listened to prog they might accidentally come across some Maiden.
@@villian99918ok ik this is a year later but now you have a anime pfp
I love Maiden, but goddamn that was funny as fuck. People need to lighten the fuck up and take a joke.
I'am huge maiden fan and i must say that imitation of Bruce was absolutely on point, i laughed so hard :D
The way he repeats "it's a fable" really sounds like bruce talking lmao
Hard core Maiden fan here and I LOL'd
Not a huge Maiden fan but find it hard to imagine Bruce not giggling to this a bit himself. :)
@@hrhcrab I think Maiden would have a great laugh. Maiden fan myself and I Loled.
People need to stop taking things so damn seriously... Henry is JOKING. It's what he does. He obviously wouldn't have opened for Iron Maiden if he didn't really like them. Come on, now.
As a Scottish metal drummer I can confirm that so many English guys talk about writing metal music like this 😂
All I know is Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell and it is up to us to give it to him!
That's the other Bruce Dickinson: The mid-level manager at Columbia Records who "reissue-produced" the BOC's greatest hits compilation.
@@Rob_FPGSanctuaryNever question Bruce Dickinson…
I feel bad reading the comments section. Why do my fellow metalheads not have a sense of humor.
I have a sense of humor but this act was kind of annoying, not because it was an attack on Maiden but because I didn't find it particularly clever or well thought out
Russel Keith we do,but Henry is no comedian,and he makes fun of Walmart shoppers, he's arrogant, his not funny,unless you like snark humor, I also like punk rock, he was in blackflag
Snuffy Smith thank you sir

exactly, I have been both a big Black Flag/Rollins fan for years as well as Maiden fan but here, like a lot of his act he just comes off comes across as snarky and full of himself almost at a Gene Simmons level.
I want some Maiden now.
Hell yeah \m/

I adore his honesty. We've all been pissed off by people in different circumstances. He and Bruce should do a spoken word show together. 8 mile metal style!
"And he goes up to this rumored ball of fire called 'the Sun' that hides obscured by the clouds over the UK, right? " 😂😂😂😂
He is infact the biggest Maiden fan to ever walked the earth.
"de-de-de-du-dedede we're not iron maiden HEY!" brb dying
haha. That bit made me laugh too :)
haha yeah it most be horrible being on stage knowing that most people at the gig are just waiting for you to shut up lol
+Sofia don'tlikemangoes What does it feel like to experience that in a comment section? :p
well that's so rude
It was a joke
Maiden’s been my favourite band since ‘83, and this was hilarious.
You mean it didn't hurt your feelings, nor were you offended?
@@kylemc8851 Not even a little bit.
@@6li8storm40 amazing, must not be a millennial.
@@kylemc8851 😂
My oldest son is a Millennial, and a Maiden fan. He’d have laughed, too.
I’m a hardcore Maiden fan, but this is hilarious! 🤣
Same here.
Slayer fans are much worse
Yeah, it's because slayer fans are tone deaf.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Theres only one tone, E minor
And two songs, War or The Big Bad Devil.
Megadeth and Metallica fans are the worst
I think he actualy means Slayer fans.
Nah, i think most slayer fans treat the other bands quite well. Saw them 4 times now, i think we just like booze a little too much haha
Slayer fans are that x 100
West coast Slayer fans are the most obnoxious mofos I've ever met. East coast Slayer fans, are usually drinking in the parking lot and leaving you alone to enjoy the other bands.
Yeah he knows Maiden fan have a sense of humor, he’d been sacrificed by now if he told truth that it was Slayer.
I'm a slayer fan and I respect other bands
You can see how much fun he had doing that impression
This is very true. I saw Iron Maiden at Radio City Music Hall in 1984. There were many people who hated the opening band. No one there knew who they were. I thought they were great. The band was Queensryche.
Michael Alguire surprised to hear that, I thought Queensryche were very popular.
@@Cathal1992edition They were popular however no one knew who they were at the concert. I don't think many people knew who they were in 1984. There were many people who didn't like them however I thought they were great. The sound at Radio City Music Hall was amazing.
Ironic because I feel Operation Mindcrime was them trying to sound more like Maiden
I saw anthrax and also queensryche open for Maiden. Crowd loved them.
Rollins as a comedian. Funnier than I would have thought.
Did somebody say "Maiden?"
He's funny but really iron Maiden did introduce me to a lot of literature and stories I didn't know before so while I enjoy the joke, that band expanded my knowledge.
I walked in before a Maiden show and Alice Cooper was already there opening, it might as well have been a sound check by the roadies for all some people cared.
Henry is a funny guy and I think deep down likes Iron Maiden because they just go for it 100% like he does, and they are a fan's band and provide entertainment & connection with the audience. He gets it.
I personally love the intellectual content of Charlotte the Harlot.
+Michael Stephen Bruce wasn't in the band then genius.
22 Acacia Avenue isn't much better, is it? Anyway, it's Steve who writes most of the best lyrics, so it doesn't matter who's singing.
+Michael Stephen Dave Murray wrote Charlotte the Harlot. It's the only song he's solely credited with as far as I know :)
Actually he made the deja vu song on somewhere in time too
Lynch Smith steve Harris is credited for that song as well though. Charlotte the Harlot is the only one that Dave is solely credited for.
I love Iron Maiden and this was really funny.
I'm a Maiden, Dickinson and Henry fan and this is funny!!!!
Incidentally, Dickinson is highly intelligent. Genius level and he's a pilot for Quantas.
Not Quantas, or even Qantas......
Re: Bruce.
Not Qantas. Never Qantas.
He's flown for Astraeus and Cardiff Aviation.
You might have him confused with John Travolta, who was trained by them and owns several ex-Qantas aircraft, but again, has never flown for them. He is their international goodwill ambassador though.
Well he is always thinking
the one for Qantas is john travolta, and bruce never made saturday night fever 😁
Bruce was in a band with an Italian drummer...
"'ello I fink I'm gon' fly about" - dunno why that wrecked me but it did.
"Ello, i think i'm gunna fly bout" LMAO
2023 and still laughing likes crazy with this speech, HR the best ever!!
Seen Maiden 7 times and have always liked Henry Rollins and would have loved to see him open for them.
417 maiden fans can't take a joke, and proved Henry Rollins right at the same time :)
ChristianIce GUAI A TE CRISTIANAIRTE, CRISTIANAIRTE GUAI A TE
We don't see Maiden for shits an' giggles mate. We are there for our music.
418, what?
hes not funny. cringy
Don’t you talk about Iron Maiden like that. Don’t.
Wahahahahaha this is great! I'm both metal and punk rock fan. I love both Iron Maiden and Black Flag, and you gotta say those were funny, they were delivered perfectly and didn't came out rudely.
He's absolutely correct!..I'm a lifelong Metalhead,and Maiden is my favorite band ever!!! Up your Irons!!
I saw Anthrax open up for Maiden decades ago and everyone seemed to welcome Anthrax and enjoyed their show
4:30 "...and so I know I'm gonna die". Well, Henry, you got to watch them - be quick or be dead.
His Bruce Dickinson impression sounds more like Nigel Tufnel.
Nigel Tufnel is an impression of Bruce Dickenson!
bergerQ68 Aw, no way dude! XD Bruce has BRAINS! Nigel's a brainless but lovable schmoe!
He popped out on a USO (are they still called USO) tour when i was in Qatar many years back... nice bloke. I also love his storytelling here. Thumbs up once more for Mr Rollins.
Dude, his impressions on Bruce Dickinson had me crying of laughter
What he's saying sounds like Nigel Tufnel not Bruce Dickinson. LOL
+AnemocracyTheBand I'm happy to see that someone else than myself heard Nigel Tufnel in this skit!
+Pierre Marchand Yes, but these go to 11. LOL
+AnemocracyTheBand Yeah, that's how I feel too

Henry is a nice guy but a terrible musician. Iron Maiden, they do not disappoint in concert.
I dunno man, I think slip it in is the best song of the 20th century...
listen to a song that,s called Liar,also live it stands up.
Now you're just mixing up Henry's bands.
Black Flag: DRINKING & DRIVING, Slip it in, Annihilate This Week,
Rollins Band: DISCONNECT, Liar, Hero Time
And then there's Eddie & the Boyz!

100% agree in my first Iron Maiden concert back in 2003 Murder Dolls were opening for them and only few people in the croud supported them. I like Murder Dolls they are fun to listen to and people should learn to give respect to anyone who is on the stage because those guys have gone trough hell to get up there too

Oh Henry is telling good stories, i Love them, MAIDEN, MAIDEN ...I start to struggle who i like more: Bruce Dickinson or Henry Rollins...Maybe they are @ the same level...(sorry Henry, but U R no PILOT ) Thank U Exitvim for uploading this video
Henry, point to on the doll where Iron Maiden hurt you.
YeH, Henry Rollins has always been an ass, and his music has always sucked. Funny how he thinks he should draw fans as well as Iron Maiden.
I love this. I love it even more, as an Iron Maiden fan. Nailed it.
Sounds like Henry met Bruce and lost the battle of the egos.
But I'm sure he won the height and good haircut contests... I love Maiden and Rollins. Believe me, Henry rips on himself just as much as others.
One of the best face to face story tellers alive.
I saw Maiden in 91, the opening band was some group hardly anyone had heard about called Anthrax.
I'm an Iron Maiden fan and I can confirm this. Love Henry though.
Henry's funny. He never mentions Maiden on his radio show -but boy do I ever know about The Ruts thanks to him.
haha...I was JUSTlistening to his show, Ruts played and I laughed to myself thinking about how you felt about them.
I've gathered they hail from the early 80s DC punk scene. Makes sense when you know thats the scene Henry was a part of in his youth.
He likes to play the lesser known, we should already know all about Maiden.
Ha! The Ruts.
He nailed it about checking the ticket over and over--every show I've ever gone to I've done that.
literally just a 4 minute long version of The Fox and The Sour Grapes
I'm a Maiden fan , love it ;)
Funny but Henry probably has a bigger ego than Bruce.
Bruce doesn't even have a big ego (nor do any of them really).
Deli Cheese To be a frontman or an icon you've gotta have a big ego. They do. It's okay.
*****
I don't think Dio had a big ego, nor did Dead (he kind of killed himself). I get what you're trying to say but I don't think frontman and ego always go together.
Deli Cheese I see what you're saying. But just from what the interviews I've seen of a good amount of bands it's usually true. Dio was a sweet man and Dead was well, dead and probably too into his image or something.
***** He wasn't being serious. He was joking ...
" this mythic ball of fire, obscured by the clouds above the UK"

Dickinson is a renaissance man. Untouchable in my books
MAIDEN MAIDEN MAIDEN MAIDEN
This has to be the greatest and most funniest along with most realistic diss on a band I love so much along with its fans
Aged well. We are still like this haha
Hahaha, complete Spinal Tap moment! :D
this was truly funny...... I bet Henry is a Maiden fan himself, he is just pissin around :D:D
Portugal 🇵🇹 iron maiden fan here 🤘
man Maiiiiideen is my life but I haven’t laughed this hard in an eternity sjdjkdskksdkxj
Henry is hilarious. Love that the crowd cheered when he said "Iron Maiden".
Up the Irons!!!
He should try to open a metallica show. I know, I was at this festival where ghost opened for metallica and the crowd was a real bitch and ghost nearly finished its concert.
If Rollins had 1% of Dickinson's skills and knowledge he would have been better
Well Henry Rollins, if you're gonna die, die with your boots on if you're gonna die!
Someday Henry is going to ride on an airplane. Piloted by you know who.

I went to see them in May, and barely anyone showed up to see shinedown (the supporting act), it was honestly quite awkward lmao
This describes my teenage self to a T! Also my adult self.

sounds like every septic trying to do a uk accent, they all think we sound like fucking dick van dyke lol

I played this on my phone while we were waiting to get into a Maiden concert in October 2022. Had a crowd around me listening to it
Haha. That’s awesome. I’m seeing Iron Maiden in June.
Iron Maiden has been too big for an opening band for many years. It is unfair for the opening band, and for the fans. Maiden needs to play the 3 hour show like Floyd, Yes, Rush and the others that are way too big for an opening band!
This is a fact.
Yes
Nobody forced them to have an opening band, so you can either listen to it or having *silence* until 22.00 when they'll show up.
Maiden say they love their fans, but won't do the long gigs.
When Maiden played here, the opening band was Anthrax. I do believe some people came for the opsning band haha
Enough talking Henry....bring out Maiden.
There is a fine line between intensity and being a try-hard. Dial it back a notch. You never go full Henry Rollins.
