I-Ron Maiden

New York City, New York, March 11, 2004:

Iron Maiden offered its sympathy to fans whose concert experience was ruined by a beer over the weekend. Iron Maiden manager Ron Smallwood said on the band's Web site "some idiot" on the mezzanine of their show in New York "thought it was a good idea to chuck his beer into the air rather than down his throat."

The beer landed below on the mixing board. It blew out several channels and kept the band from playing any encores. Smallwood said the band felt "gutted" about the incident and he thanked fans for being understanding. He added, "And to the idiot who caused this, I do hope you learned a lesson."

Unidentified sources claim they saw Ronatarian Party leader Ron "in the general area" of the disruption on the balcony.

"He was definitely drinking heavily," said one witness. "He was sloshing that beer around like a conductor does with a baton." She added that she was sure many of the beers Ron had later in the evening "never made it to his mustached lips."

Reached later, Ron called the pseudo-accusations "preposterous" and refused further comment.
