According to TotalRock.com, former IRON MAIDEN frontman Paul Di'Anno was attacked during his show in Tel Aviv, Israel on Friday (Dec. 10). A crazed fan apparently got onstage, and lashed out at the shaken singer. Fortunately, Di'Anno suffering only minor injuries, and was able to finish the gig.

Di'Anno performed in Israel as part of the Heavy Metal Monsters melodic metal festival, which is scheduled to conclude tonight (Dec. 11) in Haifa, Israel.

Di'Anno is reportedly playing a very long set consisting of 70 percent IRON MAIDEN songs and 30 percent his own material.

I don't want to start another war with 'how evil metal is'. No flaming, go find some other thread if you are not interested,. Another psycho loose.

What is it, open season band members or something?
Sheesh!

Saw Rita Cosby on Fox with the guy from Kiss talking about dimebag's death. Rita was fairly gushing over him. Pretty funny actually.

Where do these guys make all the enemies when they sleep till 4PM, and don't go to bed till 5am?

[endthematrix]

Rita was fairly gushing over him.

Gene Simmons' famous tongue perhaps?

[Welsh Rabbit]

Thank goodness he's OK. I like Bruce, but I like Paul's albums a lot better.

How come we don't hear about attacks on people like Barbra Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, the Dixie Chicks, Madonna and other bleeding heart libs?

[reaganaut]

Yeah, at least he wasn't hurt badly. I actually like all old Maiden albums, with either Paul or Bruce, but the early stuff is definitely the best.

[reaganaut]

I'm surprised he was in Israel and singing on the Sabbath. I thought they had laws against that.

[My2Cents]

Gee, I wonder if the guys from Kiss are Rita's famous "my-sources-tell-me."
