Oh yeah, one of my fav albums too by one of my all time favourite bands. When it comes to early Maiden it's hard to decide on my number one album but Powerslave might just be the or is certainly a top 5 album.
Yes! Great album, great band! My favourite of theirs is Rage For Order. Bruce is talking about Chris De Garmo obviously, but he made three more records with Queensryche, not just one.
@@Samantas5855 They were both brilliant albums released the same year I believe. Still listen to both as they haven't aged like a lot of music from around that time.
I saw Bruce a few times with Maiden. Amazing singer. I actually meet him on a few occasions.Always very friendly and open. And happy to sign autographs all day. Number of the beast and Powerslave some of his best work. Rock on Bruce.
I dunno if Blackmore could keep up these days , he was one of the greatest pioneers of his era but his playing is not what it once was . Wizard though he once was .
@@guanatosmetal71 Somewhere in Time is great and unique, but unlike Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, it has flaws and is not on the same level of brilliance.
Absolute LEGEND. Proper musical influences too. Many of the bands/singers he cited I am a fan of as well. Iron Maiden is one of my all time favourites and a huge inspiration on my own playing. Seeing Somewhere in Time literally just behind him was a treat
Ride On is one of my most favorite AC/DC songs as well as I prefer Bon's work over Brian's (I don't hate Brian, just prefer Bon)! Just to hear Bruce talk about that is awesome!
Firstly....what a great interview. My god the albums he was talking about most of them among my favourite albums. God bless you Bruce 🎤🎤🎤🎤 Bruce has been a hero of mine since I saw Maiden live back in 82.
Although I like his vocals on Stranger in a Strangeland (especially on Alexander the Great), to me, he's never been as good as on The Number of the Beast (especially on "Children of the Damned" ! ) Ps. My favorite Maiden album is Seventh Son of a Seventh Son by the way, so... I'm really trying not to be biased here 😉(Although "Moonchild", "Infinite Dreams" and The "Prophecy" all have brilliant singing as well).
I really enjoyed that. I believe it's Chris DeGarmo who became a pilot. As soon as Queensryche was mentioned I was sure Bruce would mention the aviation connection. Good stuff.
Bruce is 65. And has a birthday coming up in a few months. 08/07/24. I thought he was 70'ish.... All the years on the road and the stress of being a pilot has taken a bit of a toll but he is sharp as a tack. I'd have no problem with him at the Captains chair for a domestic flight. ✈ 🎸 Rock on Bruce !!
I think the death of his children's mother must have also taken a toll. He is one talented guy and entrepreneur though. Trooper beer alone must have generated a decent income apart from Maiden royalties.
Really great interview, Bruce here is really natural and open, completely different from his TV interviews! In this one he's wearing the right socks... 😁
The year was 1989 and my friend Graham was trying to get (12 year old) me to listen to heavy metal bands. I heard Metallica, Megadeath and Judas Priest but nothing really landed. Then he played me a song from Iron Maiden and everything changed. I grabbed the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album album and nearly wore out the tape. Bruce's voice and storytelling had me hooked. To this day, Bruce and Iron Maiden are my favorites. Besides them, Myles Kennedy (solo) and Alter Bridge are the only bands that come close.
Funny when I first heard the Born Again album, I thought it was a return to the classic muddy sound, as the first 3 albums sounded like primordial sludgly rock. I had no idea it was due to a fault in the mastering.
Rick Wakeman played keys on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Yes were recording Tales from Topographic Oceans next door and Wakeman wound up playing on "Sabbra Cadabra," in true Wakeman fashion, he was reportedly paid in beer.
The clear influence of the blues on ACDC's music is pointed out far too rarely. I'm glad that one of my favorite singers, who also made a tremendous contribution to Iron Maiden's success, named this important element precisely. The blues is in the sound of ACDC, in the guitar of Angus and in Bon's voice.
Does everyone know Bruce’s first job was in a bakery to count sachets of yeast. His boss said to him “ how many have you boxed today Bruce?” Bruce said…. 666 the number of the yeast, bread and cakes, were born to be released!
This was great, Bruce is completely earnest and happy to talk about the music, a great segment 🤙 Love Bruce. Very happy with the new album, listen to it quite a bit. "A load of rubbish but it grows on you" 😂
Couldn't agree more on Eyes of the World and Lost in Hollywood. I always go to Down to Earth when I feel down. Such feel good songs never fail to lift my mood : P
Great review Bruce how humbling to praise “it you want blood” live album when you’re own live after death is equal. Closely followed by no sleep till Hammersmith and slayers decade of aggression 😀 for my personal favourite live albums. Oh and thanks for Number of the beast that’s the album that did it for me as a 10 year old.
My list os the bests by style: Hard Blues: Rory Gallagher (Live In Europe), Gary Moore (Still got the blues) Hard rock: Deep Purple (In Rock and Machine Head), Riot (Narita), Triumph (Allied Forces), Rush (Rush and Moving Pictures), Uriah Heep (Live 73), Rainbow (Rising). Hard Progressive: Jethro Tull (Stand Up and Bursting out). Metal: Iron Maiden (The Number, Piece of Mind and Powerslave), Black Sabbath (Master of Reality and Heaven and Hell), Judas Priest (Unleashed In the east), Nightwish (Ocean born)
I met Bruce in New York in 1989. It was at the CMJ music marathon. He autographed a $10 bill for me. I ended up spending it on beer and condoms a few weeks later. in a Freeport 7/11 on Long Island. But I told the clerk that it was Bruce Dickinson’s autograph . Which He thought was cool. So maybe it’s somewhere.
@@VictorLugosi He didn't say that word (sucked) at all. He just said he liked their recent albums, which I totally disagree with. Hells Bells is the definite Brian era song, especially the studio version. Bruce says he likes their recent albums, and he said "definitely more than For Those About To Rock". He didn't say anything more than that. On this he's totally off, but that is his opinion. I totally agree with him regarding Scott era and Ride On. That is the most soaring and beautiful Scott performance put on any AC/DC record. Also the Powerage and If you Want Blood albums are great.
@@helenelston9930 🤦♂ What exactly iswrong with you? @LeroyKinkade vor 1 Tag AC/DC's If You Want Blood (you've got it) is the best live album ever recorded. 4 @helenelston9930 vor 1 Tag 😂😂😂😂
Bruce sitting in front of some good albums there! My eclectic collection includes a few of them ranging from Somewhere in Time, to Zooropa to Spirit of Eden!
he is not only one of the really greatest rocksingers and performers of all times, a jumbopilot, really good fencer, but also such a great person. I wonder, if he is aware how much Iron Maiden has influenced the metal- and rockmusic. lovebites and others.
Bruce's opinion of Powerage and If You Want Blood echo mine perfectly. I'm surprised that he didn't mention Montrose, considering that Maiden have covered a couple of their tracks.
Great show! What great album selection. By the way, the Jon Lord sleeve is the wrong image: it's the live album tribute concert cover from 2014 instead of the Concerto studio recording album cover from 2012 - which is what Bruce talks about. The track played is also not right, it's the Glenn Hughes "Burn" from the tribute concert not the Concerto recording featuring Bruce.
@@mauriciohernandezdiaz9825 There's no studio touch-ups on those live records. Maybe you are thinking of Kiss Alive, Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous, Judas Priest Unleashed in the East, as all of those has been fixed in studio afterwards, but not Live After Death, nor If You Want Blood.
When I was in 8th grade I saw a show on the power slave tour my mom dropped me and my friend off at the Worcester centrum fantastic memories thanks Mom 😂
Bruce Dickinson is not only my number #1 Frontman, he has great taste for music! Thank you for sharing, brother ❤
Somewhere in Time just behind Bruce is the history of my life. My first album and my favourite band/singer.
Samson is behind him too
Oh yeah, one of my fav albums too by one of my all time favourite bands. When it comes to early Maiden it's hard to decide on my number one album but Powerslave might just be the or is certainly a top 5 album.
glad Bruce gave a shout-out to "Mindcrime"...... it's truly a perfect album
I have that album on vinyl
Yes! Great album, great band! My favourite of theirs is Rage For Order. Bruce is talking about Chris De Garmo obviously, but he made three more records with Queensryche, not just one.
Bruce believed that Mindcrime was a better concept album storywise than SSOASS because it had a start a mid part and an ending
@@Samantas5855 They were both brilliant albums released the same year I believe. Still listen to both as they haven't aged like a lot of music from around that time.
@@Samantas5855 Yes. When Bruce left Iron Maiden in 1993, he told that he thinks Operation Mindcrime is a better album than 7th Son.
Of course Mr. Dickinson has a great taste in music, the best I'd say!
I saw Bruce a few times with Maiden. Amazing singer. I actually meet him on a few occasions.Always very friendly and open. And happy to sign autographs all day. Number of the beast and Powerslave some of his best work. Rock on Bruce.
Bruce is an absolute legend. What an amazing life he has lived. Up the Irons !!! 🔥🤘🏼🔥
Bruce should make an album with Blackmore
... and with Glenn Hughes.
I dunno if Blackmore could keep up these days , he was one of the greatest pioneers of his era but his playing is not what it once was . Wizard though he once was .
Bruce shold make an Album with Halford
@@janneeklund7960No.
And ian anderson
I agree, «Ride On» is one of AC/DC's best. Love Bon's delivery on that one, the build up and then - the chorus - and the solo of course.
Totally agree - it' s brilliant track
another empty bottle in another empty bed...
Best album of all time: Seventh Son of a Seventh Son. Perfect. The gold standard for all metal that will never be topped by anyone.
Fully agreed. Always huge fan of the Maiden, but seventh sounds so different.. so epic.. so ahead of it's time.
Best album ever.
i'd risk saying it's their proggiest album, tho not full on prog.
Somewhere in time!!!
@@guanatosmetal71 Somewhere in Time is great and unique, but unlike Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, it has flaws and is not on the same level of brilliance.
For me "Somewhere in Time", SSOASS is second.
Absolute LEGEND. Proper musical influences too. Many of the bands/singers he cited I am a fan of as well. Iron Maiden is one of my all time favourites and a huge inspiration on my own playing. Seeing Somewhere in Time literally just behind him was a treat

Great insight. Goose bumps hearing him talk about Bon and ACDC. I totally concur with his thoughts about the band.
The Mandrake Project is phenomenal.
Firstly....what a great interview. My god the albums he was talking about most of them among my favourite albums. God bless you Bruce 🎤🎤🎤🎤
Bruce has been a hero of mine since I saw Maiden live back in 82.
Bruce’s vocals on Stranger in a Strangeland is his best in my opinion
Listen to Navigate The Seas Of The Sun.
+1!
Although I like his vocals on Stranger in a Strangeland (especially on Alexander the Great), to me, he's never been as good as on The Number of the Beast (especially on "Children of the Damned" ! )

@@brunobailly7013 Nope I said what I said! Adrian Smith can out sing Bruce
Agreed. I think its one of their best.
One of The Best Rock Vocals 🎤👌
I really enjoyed that. I believe it's Chris DeGarmo who became a pilot. As soon as Queensryche was mentioned I was sure Bruce would mention the aviation connection. Good stuff.
I think Chris did 3 more albums after Mindcrime. Empire, Promise Land, and Hear in the New frontier. contribute some songwriting for the album Tribe.
Bruce singing Mindcrime made me smile lol
Bruce is 65. And has a birthday coming up in a few months. 08/07/24. I thought he was 70'ish....
All the years on the road and the stress of being a pilot has taken a bit of a toll but he is sharp as a tack.

🎸 Rock on Bruce !!
Chemo also takes its toll... great dude with achievements for more than one lifetime!
I think the death of his children's mother must have also taken a toll. He is one talented guy and entrepreneur though. Trooper beer alone must have generated a decent income apart from Maiden royalties.
Really great interview, Bruce here is really natural and open, completely different from his TV interviews! In this one he's wearing the right socks... 😁
Saw Maiden last week, and Bruce was fantastic…65 and still going strong!

Bruce talking about how good rainbow and a screaming for vengeance where 🖤
Born Again is a great album...I agree... and Worcester '83 is really great as well.
Wish they would remaster this album.
Funny when I first heard the Born Again album, I thought it was a return to the classic muddy sound, as the first 3 albums sounded like primordial sludgly rock. I had no idea it was due to a fault in the mastering.
I really enjoyed this interview. He's got a good taste in music. Didn't know Adrian is a Priest head.
Tears of the dragon live in san paulo. One of the most amazing vocal performances ive heard in a long time.
Bruce Dickenson...just Classic
Talent of the Unlimited....
Look over his left shoulder and I see Badmotorvision and Somewhere In Time. TWO of my favorite albums ALL TIME!
His right shoulder?
Do you mean Badmotorfinger and his right shoulder?
I absolutely adore Bruce and iron maiden 🇬🇧❤
It’s amazing hearing Bruce, the reason I started singing, talking about Chris Cornell, my idol 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
@mikedavis8008 bad joke dude
Rick Wakeman played keys on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Yes were recording Tales from Topographic Oceans next door and Wakeman wound up playing on "Sabbra Cadabra," in true Wakeman fashion, he was reportedly paid in beer.
Bruce Goat...Greates from Serbia...Iron maiden...❤🎸
Jon Lord tribute tour last year was mind blowing.

I love that Steven WIlsons solo album Harmony Codex is representing in the background!!!

"Sad Wings Of Destiny" for me is there best album cover, Bruce!
Bruce is the man.
I like Bruce, probably more than his band.
Just a great guy.
Absolutely a Legend , cant wait to see you and the Great Band in Perth .
This was great, Bruce is completely earnest and happy to talk about the music, a great segment 🤙 Love Bruce. Very happy with the new album, listen to it quite a bit. "A load of rubbish but it grows on you" 😂
😊
8:25 fascinating ! My taste validated by The Goat 🐐
Incredible selection!!! Thanks Mr. Dickinson.
Couldn't agree more on Eyes of the World and Lost in Hollywood. I always go to Down to Earth when I feel down. Such feel good songs never fail to lift my mood : P
in 1994, Bruce Dickinson said in a french interview, he loves the third album of Peter Gabriel, III.

The best Maiden album covers: #1 Somewhere in Time, #2 Powerslave, #3 Live After Death
Wow that was awesome Thank you !
I see that Steven Wilson album in the background. That’s a great album too.
My list os the bests by style:

5:37 which song is it?
It's Rainbow - "Stargazer"
Incredible album, one of the best influential hard rock records.
@@JackMcLeodJr thanks! The beginning of “Modern day Delilah” (KISS) sounds similar.
Great Man.

Im looking California,im feeling Minnesota ❤ Soundgarden Badmotorfinger behind Bruce
thank you Bruce for pronouncing
"Quebec " in the right way 🤘👍
He is fluent in French :)
Still love some of Bruce’s stuff from Samson.
For Those About to Rock is one of my favorite AC/DC albums.
He said it sucked lol
Something missing in the production on that one, me thinks.
It is my favorite AC/DC album. Don't understand why it's marginalized so much.
@@mannyruiz1954cos like every AC/DC from then on it only has 2 or 3 good tracks on it.
