shit's getting real mate
I thought it was unfortunate that he went on stage with Pantera. Maybe he thinks Phil Anselmo made a mistake, apologized, and that’s the end of it. That’s a valid opinion.
But in that case, Bruce (or Leana) should have posted something to that effect on social media. Otherwise, it’s unclear what he was trying to say with that performance.

I'm from Northern Ireland and there's definitely levels of cuntishness round my way.
Like some friends will greet eachother with "well, cunt." Or if my amigo says something silly like "England are gonna win the World Cup" I might respond with "fuck up, you daft cunt."
But yes, for some people that word is an absolute no-no and I do believe the English take it a bit more seriously than we do. In the case of Bruce the Greek I'd wager he said it cos it was the most offensive word in his lexicon.
But I doubt he hates all Greeks. Just a little diva tantrum.
Cunt cunt cunt. Love that word. My sister in law hates it. I try to refrain in her presence but if I do let it slip she visibly recoils. Makes me feel like a right cunt.

I think he would have had hundreds of different ways to curse and rant, and everyone would have found it understandable or even funny.
What he said was one of the few options to made some uninvolved people feel insulted.

The joke was that maybe his wife didn't like him saying positive things, political or not, about a Palestinian advocate.
It's still a treat that makes the Greeks feel special. He does it specially for them.
We are not talking about extreme right. Bruce Dickinson has not spread any far-right agenda on any platform (Brexit was not exclusive to far-right).
Your problem with Bruce is that he's just not how you'd like him to be. In all honesty, he most probably wouldn't like you either.

Agreed that there's nuances to the use of cunt, and can even be used to have no offence intended at all in some situations.
But used in anger, as Bruce did, I would consider it to be the most offensive word in English baring bigotted slurs (if used towards a women you could probably consider it a bigotted slur too).

Considering we are quite possibly the only European country not to hear the whole thing, it makes us feel shit
That is fine with me. I do not aspire for people to like me. I aspire to be happy with myself and who I am.

The Future Past Tour excluded around 35 European countries, including Greece. I bet most of those don’t even get a localized tribute equivalent to the Alexander The Great bit Greeks usually get as a friendly nod.

I would argue that the Alexander the Great teases of the past were friendly nods. However, skipping Greece on the tour they finally played the song live, especially straight after the Greek cunt debacle, probably felt like adding insult to injury to the rabid Greek fans.
Bruce teasing them on his solo tour probably felt like rubbing salt in the wound too.
Either way, at the end of the day Iron Maiden are a business and perhaps the demand to play in Greece on The Future Past tour did not exist (or there were no Greek promoters willing to pay their hefty fee).
Eduardo Cabeza

Yep. This is promoters' territory. We do not deserve more paranoia!
GhostofCain
Ancient Mariner
Exactly. Promoters pay them big money, Iron Maiden play there. Promoters bid to have them play somewhere so the bidding war leads to insane ticket prices (like in Spain), Iron Maiden will play there.
There is no romanticism in this; they are not doing it for the fans or, at least, they were not willing to do it for the Greek fans.
And the show must go on, with or without Nicko.
