Is Bruce intentionally cursing less on North America tour?

He only uttered two curses during last nights show in NJ. Wondering if he's doing this less since there are so many parents bringing their adolescents to the shows.

maybe in denver he didnt swear as much as he did in 2003 but in 2000 to 2003 he cursed a lot like in Revations he called everybody pussys for not clapping but a since 2003 he swears a lot less like in dotr he doesnt swear at all

I doubt it has anything to do with parents and kids. Metal shows have always been attended by 15 year olds (or younger) and the cursing are always part of it. It might have to do with him, oh I don't know, not wanting to anymore?

ahhh I remember my first Metal show, I had to convince my parents there would be no swearing at all.

I think based on your posts that you're around 15.

I read somewhere that after the Brave New World tour Steve gave Bruce a "talking to" about too much profanity.  That may explain why he's toned it down.  Also, he seems less angry now than he was then, presumably because he once again has a hugely successful music career, which he didn't have in the late '90s before re-joining Maiden.  (Hold your messages about how great the Chemical Wedding and Accident of Birth albums were -- I know they were great, and thus he was a "success" artistically, but he wasn't nearly as commercially successful as he had been with Maiden).

Steve did cut a lot of profanity out of the Rock in Rio album and DVD. If you go back and listen to the bootlegs around the concert, compared to the actual album, you can hear quite a few meanspirited rants Bruce went on.

Hmmm, we should have section where people can post Bruce's rants.
