The Conflict with Iron Maiden at Ozzfest 2005

On August 20th 2005, the band Iron Maiden played their last Ozzfest show of 2005 in San Bernardino, California. A series of premeditated negative events occured during that performance, beginning with attendees in the V.I.P. being handed eggs by festival security, in which they then pelted the band with eggs, garbage, and other debris. Festival Crew and people who attended the event also described that someone sabotaged the sound system and played a tape of somebody chanting 'Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!' as people at the event chanted 'Maiden! Maiden! Maiden!' to counter the attack. It was also reported that the sound system was intentionally turned off about 5 times in the middle of the band's performance. Sharon Osbourne admits to planning these attacks on Iron Maiden in retaliation against Bruce Dickinson's statements about the Osbourne family's reality show on MTV.

As Iron Maiden began to play the song "The Trooper" a man believed to be Big Dave, a famous Black Label Society road crew assistant and guest on Sharon's reality T.V. show "Battle for Ozzfest" came upon the stage and waved a disproportionate american flag, mocking Bruce Dickinson's usual activity of waving the Union Jack during this song. Despite all of the happenings, Iron Maiden played out the entire show with an additional encore. Despite Bruce's leading the band to finish the perfomance with the band, Sharon did command the stage to make a few statements. She complimented the band, however she reportedly dubbed Dickinson as a prick and claimed that he ruined the entire Ozzfest tour.
