Iron Maiden's manager, Rod Smallwood, has expressed frustration over fans using their phones excessively during concerts. He emphasized that constant phone use negatively affects the concert experience for both the band and fellow attendees. Smallwood praised fans who respected the band's request to minimize phone use and criticized those who continued to record, wishing them "nothing but a very sore arm."
The band has requested that fans limit phone use during shows to enhance the live experience. While occasional quick snapshots are acceptable, they urge attendees to keep their phones in their pockets and immerse themselves in the performance.
