Bruce Dickinson Regrets Not Beating the Crap Out of Axl Rose
One would expect the legendary front man of Iron Maiden, Bruce Dickinson, to have some of the most metal regrets there are. We won't disappoint you, but he doesn't wish that he hadn't missed out on that dragon safari or the chance to drink the blood from the beast's still-beating heart while a choir of demons sang words of encouragement (that we know of). No, he simply wishes — as many rockers of his vintage do — that he'd kicked Axl Rose's butt.
During a 1988 show in Canada that saw Guns N' Roses opening for Maiden, xenophobe extraordinaire Rose became peeved that some of the crowd were speaking French (as some Canadians are wont to do). Apparently, he made some smart aleck remarks to said crowd, and in a 2015 conversation with Le Journal de Montreal, Dickinson expressed his wish that he'd walloped the singer when he had the chance. "I should have gone on stage and punched him," Dickinson said. "How could he dare to speak to my audience like that? I always regretted not having done so." At this point, there are probably enough rock stars who feel this way to start a "We Should've Beaten the Crap Out of Axl Rose" support group. Hey, Dickinson could be president. Who's going to tell him no?
