DAWSON 1 YEAR ON

If it is really people feeling scorned about who got the job, it is not weird at all - it is just envy. It is not right or nice, but unfortunately, there will always be some people who do things like that out of envy.

However, the question of why such an effort is made again right now could actually be better answered if there were indeed doubts within the band or an attempt to revisit the matter.
 
If this campaign exists, and these people are still reading here, you know what?

If there really were doubts within the band and they were reconsidering, you could be the deciding factor for keeping Simon.
Because when a decision is close, something like this often triggers a feeling of, “Now we’re standing by this person.”

Not exactly smart of you.

I think that the thing about simon is just im this forum. There is no doubt within the band with simson. Even in the show i attended they were ok with him and adrian did like "great drumming" to him with the head. They only thing that we can discuss for real is if nicko and simon are going to be on the next record or not.

I have seen bands playing with a drummer who cant play the songs like were recorded and this is not the.case.

Why does it have to a conspiracy? I just dont happen to think he's very good. I dont hate him either or compare him Nicko. I just think hes a very sub standard drummer imho

I don't think it's aimed at you or some of the other regulars here on the forum. I don't know if I believe there's some kind of conspiracy, but I can say at the very least, that I've seen posts very similar to Kurt Barlow's typing style on the maiden subreddit, from different user accounts. Could be coincidence, could be people watched the same content and picked up similar wordings for their criticisms, could be deliberate. Who knows?

If you're genuinely under the impression there's some sort of mass campaign across the internet aimed at ousting Simon Dawson from his role as the touring drummer of Iron Maiden, I implore you, please, please, get your head checked. If there was anyone within the organization with that kind of ability, they'd've fucking well used it to prevent him from getting hired in the first place Jesus H. fucking Christ.

Again, I don't think that snarc meant every single negative comment about Simon was part of some conspiracy. It's about a number of specific accounts on the subreddit, here and probably YouTube and/or Facebook with suspiciously similar writing and posting styles. Pettiness can be found in various forms, and we've seen how Joe Lazarous' father behaved when Simon was announced as Nicko's replacement. It's not outlandish to think that he (for example) could go on the internet and talk shit anonymous.

I'm not saying that this is what happened by the way. Just explaining where that line of thought might've originated.

This is insane. You're entertaining a fringe theory based on vague vibes about "similar writing styles" or whatever because of preconceived notions about Steve Lazarus being some sort of force to contend with. Do you not see how absurd this comes across written out? Like, I'm sorry, but even with the pretense of "I don't believe this, but..." it's a massive leap to formulate a mastermind FUD spewer out of some decrepit boomer talking shit with his name attached on Facebook.

His son didn't get to be a fill-in drummer of a band nearing retirement and he got mad because he thinks he's owed. Sockpuppeting multiple accounts across multiple platforms to amplify his own message is a humongous leap from that. He ran a fan club once. That was likely the peak of his ability.
