Just so unnecessary to their sound. All you have to do is watch any clip online for 5 minutes and you will have your answer:
Janick Gers
I mean the stage moves alone seal the deal

That's nuts, I saw that guitar go flying and was like "Welp, there's a lawsuit when it hits someone..."
Then I heard the singer shout out the location... Weird. I was literally AT the Maiden San Antonio show, and I have zero memory of that happening. Then again, I was in a private box suite party thingy instead of in the crowd... maybe I was distracted by the trays of steak snacks and drinks the caterers were accidentally delivering to to our suite instead of the unoccupied major bank's suite next door.
Speaking of douches with guitars hitting someone: 1987: Butthole Surfers “riot show” at the Clearwater National Guard Armory, bringing a topless dancer and showing pretty vile film to a bunch of children at an all-ages show that "proved to be the one of the rowdiest in Tampa Bay concert history. "(They) basically smashed their guitar over a kid's head in the audience (sending him to the hospital), kicked a girl in the face that was in the front row, broke her nose," Tampa author and filmmaker Tony Patino once told the Tampa Bay Times."
