The world DOES need Iron Maiden!
Well... ... Didn't need the Final frontier or the one after. Still, the first three since 2000 were great. Would be nice if they made another good one before the end. There's a big difference between writing music to prove a point (like when he first joined and when he got back in again) or merely flying in for a six month rush to get it done and have some fun: A difference the seasoned fan can hear. So drop all the arse licking for a moment and be discerning.
@@JEKAZOL The Talisman? Where the Wild Wind Blows? Empire of the Clouds? Red and the Black? Masterpieces... and you call yourself a 'seasoned fan'?
ha ha ha ha ha
@@JEKAZOL Then again you have no clue what you talking about now do you.
LMAO. (@8:08)
Bands like Iron Maiden come once in a lifetime. Exceptional musicians and creators of something that will last the test of time.
IT'S BEEN A LONG ROAD FOR THEM !
"I found out I could sing"....He has one of the greatest voices in the genre. I consider Halford, Dio, and Him to have the best metal voices ever.
And Geoff Tate
Halford, Dio, and Dickinson are 100% the best
Can't forget Geoff Tate of Queensryche
Of course BD is a great singer, but what I like about him most is that he's not a run-of-the-mill idiot singer. He's a sharp guy and always interesting to listen to.
kamaboko1 Some of these guys actually grow up. Not many. Can't stand their music but he seems a nice fellow.
He's more of a run-to-the-hills kind of a singer ;)
kamaboko1 He is my personal Role Model since I was 14. I am now 47
"Of course BD is a great singer, but what I like about him most is that he's not a run-of-the-mill idiot singer. He's a sharp guy and always interesting to listen to." Troll.
What a coincidence...same here :)
Bruce is the greatest frontman of all time. Up the Irons!
He’s good, best was Freddie Mercury.
Freddie Mercury was the best, period end of sentence!!!
I won't argue with anyone about Freddie as I am a big fan too.
I'd like Freddy more if he actually did metal
Blackie Lawless deserves recognition also
Bruce and Maiden are in the genre of musical integrity, skill and passion 🤘
nicely said.....they are the consummate professionals.
Scream for me Charlie Rose.... Screeeeeeeam for me Charlie Rose !!!
LMAO! You win the internets for the day (at least amongst Maiden fans)!!!
Okay, I nearly pissed myself when I read this - good on ya mate!
Scream for me Charlie Rose!
Charlie Rose: uhh wha what???
*SCREEEEEEEEEEEEAM!*
That was how I read that in my head.
Way back when....Guns and Roses was opening for Maiden....45 mins before show.. Slash and Duff come out and announce axle is sick and G N R will not be playing.... 20 mins later Maiden took the stage and played for over 3 hours!!! (Sacramento,CA) That says it all about Iron Maiden!
what if Axl was really sick though?You dont know that.
BD IS A LITTLE BETTER THAN AXL, HAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaha
Kenny F Powers that is why I'm not a gnr. Fan. Newsteed . Said he learned what not to do from watching gnr.. go on stage late ever night. You start the show on time every time.
That was the Seventh Son of Seventh Son Tour. When they came to KC it was after Axle had a further melt down and an 80's metal band opened up. In hindsight, I'm glad GnR pussed out.
What's really awesome is the level of difficulty of their songs... I mean, they rehearse the hell out of their tour set lists, so those are a given... but to just have another hour or so of complex material ready to go instantly, unrehearsed... that's awesome.
I admire how grounded he is.
vogmar1 Englishmen, are tend to be reserve when it comes to emotions
the world needs Iron Maiden
Charlie Rose supported the censorship of music in the 80's & has not once recanted doing so. He should consider it not only an honor & a privilege but the very height of charity that Bruce would even sit down with him!
😮 I did N-O-T do know that! BUT, WHERE IS Charlie rose 2 NOW 🤔 🤨? 👏🏻 😂
Rose and Dan Rather interviewing these artists? It’s a slap in the face to anyone who has an inkling of good taste in music - complete cultural divide
Top comment!
The greatest most iconic band ever.
"The world needs Iron Maiden"
....UP THE IRONS!!!!!
And Pabst Blue Ribbon with that
Iron Maiden are still the best... bar none.
"The world NEEDs Iron Maiden" ... so true
Bruce is definetely one of my fav frontman ever. He's one of biggest musician on the planet but he talk like ordinary guy instead of a rockstar.
RATTLE YA GOD DAMN HEAD.
My absolute favorite band!! Amazing music and the whole band seems so down to earth. Mad respect!
What a voice and what a band 👏
Bruce Dickinson is not only a hero to me and such an incredibly awesome vocalist and person in so many ways. He is such a multi talented, flying jets, fencing,etc, and a highly intelligent person and a wonderful spokesman. Iron Maiden rules forever.
Not to mention he fulfils Make A Wish requests !
He runs an Airline, during Covid, he paid his employees out of his pocket to keep them, not only fed , but he knows how important good employees are! He's an ABSOLUTE LEGEND!
I've been a Maiden fan since I first heard Flight Of Icarus in 1983 and then went and bought the first 3 albums and any 12 inch "maxi-singles" (as they were labelled in the day) I could find. The thing I love most about Maiden is that they have had a MAJOR sense of humour from the very beginning, they're very intelligent, they've written countless songs I love to this day and at 50 years old I still love their music. One of the "metal" bands that you can grow old with and love every minute of it because you don't have to be embarrassed when they open their mouth in an interview. Maiden is just Gold. And by the way, kids...this is what happens when you shun "celebrity," don't let drugs rule your life and stay in shape as you get older. You get to play music longer and, in Bruce's case, your voice holds up even better. UP THE IRONS ALWAYS!!!!!!!
Mark Boyd Well said! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@stephani1972 SAME YEAR I WAS BORN 😂
Bruce is a class A Gentleman. I applaud this Man.
Hey Bruce if you ever read this, I am glad at you are with Maiden but your solo work was very good too...
Bruce is totally real, totally authentic...nuff respect to the bloke.
The one thing I love about Iron Maiden is that unlike so many other bands, they refused to sell out their music for radio play or commercialism. Its balls to the wall electric guitar, drums, and bass. Love it or hate it, there is no in between. Unlike other lead singers, drugs and alcohol haven't taken their toll on Bruce Dickinson. He looks fabulous for his age and the voice is still there after all these years.
Refuse to sell out? Every album is the same thing, they're the definition of commercial, mainstream metal. Not that they don't make good music, but their music is totally commercial.
"We do-i really hope-good shows!"
You're kidding right? Their shows are much much more than anyone's else's. Others just stand and play they costume, jump around, make a theatre at the same time!
Maiden is its own genre, it's just freaking Iron Maiden music..........and it's awesome.
I believe that too. Iron maiden is not a heavy metal band. Just see other heavy metal bands. Iron maiden os not like them. Iron maiden is IRON FUCKING MAIDEN.
8:10 The world needs Iron Maiden! That is so true!
Charlie could have spent the whole show with Bruce discussing a variety of topics. Charlie should have touched on the subject of lyrics. Iron Maiden has inspired millions of fans because of their mystical, spiritual and ethereal lyrics.
Bring yer daughter, bring yer daughter to the slaughh ter! Let er go, let er go, let er go!! Yeah, incredibly mystical, spiritual and ethereal! Hahaha!
Historical. They gave history lessons, and literature lessons.
Of course you used that example. xD I love that song though.
Duke Togo - Pitchokey666 i practically passed history class thanks to Iron Maiden and bill and Ted.haha
You never really paid attention to the theme of The Seventh son of the seventh album, did you? What about Powerslave man?
and as long as the timing is right and i was just listening to this lyrical mastepiece "Starbling" i would love to show you the lyrics and propose you to erase misery and hate, stop the ignorant stupid comments and start being light into darkness. Cheers!
Take my eyes, the things I've seen
In this world coming to an end
My reflection fades, I'm weary
Of these earthly bones and skin
You may pass through me and
Leave no trace, I have no mortal face
Solar winds are whispering
You may hear me call
We can shed our skins and swim
Into the darkened void beyond
We will dance among the world
That orbit stars that aren't our sun
All the oxygen that trapped us
In a carbon spider's web
Solar winds are whispering
You may hear the sirens of the dead
Left the elders to their parley
Meant to satisfy our lust
Leaving Damocles still hanging
Over all their promised trust
Walk away from freedoms
Offered by their jailers in their cage
Step into the light
Star tripping over mortals in their rage
Starblind with sun
The stars are one
We are the light that brings the end of night
Starblind with sun
The stars are one
We are with the Goddess of the sun tonight
The preacher loses face with Christ
Religion's cruel device is gone
Empty flesh and hallowed bones
Make pacts of love, but die alone
The crucible of pain will forge
The blanks of sin, begin again
You are free to choose a life to live
Or one that's left to lose
Virgins in the teeth of God
Are meat and drink to feed the damned
You may pass through me
And I will feel the life that you live less
Step into my light star tripping
We will rage against the night
Walk away from comfort
Offered by your citizens of death
Starblind with sun
The stars are one
We are the light that brings the end of night
Starblind with sun
The stars are one
We are one with the Goddess of the sun tonight
Take my eyes for what I've seen
I will give my sight to you
You are free to choose
Whatever life to live or life to lose
Whatever God you know
He knows you better than you believe
In your once and future grave
You'll fall endlessly deceived
Look into our face reflected
In the moon glow in your eyes
Remember you can choose to look
But not to see and waste your hours
You believe you have the time
But I tell you your time is short
See your past and future
All the same and it cannot be bought
Starblind with sun
The stars are one
We are the light that brings the end of night
Starblind with sun
The stars are one
We are one with the Goddess of the sun tonight
Take my eyes for what I've seen
I will give my sight to you
You are free to choose
Whatever life to live or life to lose
Whatever God you know
He knows you better than you believe
In your once and future grave
You'll fall endlessly deceived
The preacher loses face with Christ
Religion's cruel device is gone
Empty flesh and hallowed bones
Make pacts of love, but die alone
The crucible of pain will forge
The blanks of sin, begin again
You are free to choose a life to live
Or one that's left to lose
UP THE IRONS ETERNALLY
saw the 1983 piece of mind tour. best concert ever. piece of mind was their peak for me.
Bruce released one of the best metal albums ever as a solo artist… chemical wedding is a beast of an album.
Saw Iron maiden Three Times since May 1988.
Those were good times, Dino. Are you and Jeff still married?
Iron Maiden Is The Pink Floyd Of Heavy Metal
nah, pink Floyd are the maiden of prog roxk, cause maiden are better
Every time I watch one of Bruce’s interviews, I feel like he is one of the most intelligent people in heavy metal.
Agent of Chaos Marilyn Manson and Dave Mustaine too. Don't forget Corey Taylor.
seen my share of concerts back in the day, seen Maiden two or three times, but this was the only band, that was NEVER late for a gig and ALWAYS sober on stage. Up the Irons, aye!
That's the truth.the are the greatest heavy metal band.
I love Bruce Dickinson's matter of fact manner of speaking and his humble stoic composure. A true ambassador of music and noble in the most English way. In my opinion, Dickinson brings class to Heavy Metal in the same sort of way that his British compatriot Paul Weller is the embodiment of class in the realm of contemporary Soul, R&B and Power Pop.
Iron Maiden was the soundtrack of my youth and i will be grateful for that till i die. it taught me to be curious and imaginative and fearless. through them, i discovered literature and history and many things awesome. thank you
I met Bruce at a fencing tournament in about 1991. Great guy.
Yes, the world does need Iron Maiden... thanks Bruce. A big part of my life since about 1982.
I first heard Maiden in 1984, the same year I switched off the telly. Now my sons are huge Maiden fans, as well. And I'm growing more sons, currently quite small boys, and they will be Maiden fans as well.
Thanks for all the music Bruce (and great interview btw), keep it coming! Up the Irons!
Iron Maiden is just spectacular. The band genuinely brings out the metalhead in you.
Loving Iron Maiden since i was a kid and bought my first album 1988: "seventh son of a seventh son". The love is increasing, the more interviews i see. Truly one of the best bands of all times and ever there will be.
Take care Bruce, Adrian, Steve, Janick, Steve, Nicko, all the staff and fans.
Bruce Dickinson, you and the band are amazing!
UP THE IRONS!
Bruce Dickinson is the Mick Jagger of heavy metal 🤘🏻🎸😛
I passed a few World History quizzes because i listened to Iron Maiden in High School.
Love Iron Maiden. and Bruce is an incredible frontman. Up The Irons.This is an Awsome interview.
36 years ago I saw The Beast in the East tour - NEVER STOPPED SEEING THEM - except when Blaze fronted them - Bruce is my favorite beyond the Air Raid Siren vocals
One of my top 5 all time favorite bands.
With age comes experience and intelligence. Always a good listen when it comes to Bruce.
Amazing guy and Mentor.........
I'm glad that we have Iron Maiden in our lifetime, 'cause there is not a single band in the world that could replace them. They are diamonds and treasures in a sea of mediocrity. First concert I went to was during their 2001 Brave New World Tour. I loved it so much and felt very fortunate to have seen them live. Second concert I went to see them was in Fort Lauderdale in 2004 or 2007, I can't remember the exact date. Anyways, they are always excellent.
So much respect for you Bruce Dickinson ... my entire life listening Iron Maiden and deep in my heart I enjoyed every little second. I went to 7 concerts and I can't wait to go to Legacy Of The Beast USA
Metal the meaning. To be family and stay by eachothers side. To never back down. To remember the fallen. To give thanks to the dead. To give peace and freedom to those who can't find it!! That's what metal is to me and Iron Maiden remembers them all. Thank-you Iron Maiden for the greatest way of explaining honour andloyalty through song and music.
Thank you, Bruce Dickinson and Iron Maiden, for being an important part of my life for over 30 years. You guys do rock!
The artists I need in my life are Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Metallica, Guns & Roses.
No Black Sabbath?
@@shanhussain6114 Yeah, no: Sorry. I like a couple of their songs, that is with Ozzy only. With Dio I can add a few more.
Greatest Heavy Metal band of all time!!!!!!!
Haven't seen Maiden in concert in 32 years, but have always referred to how great the ones that I went to blew other concerts away. Now, 30+ years later, I overheard my co-workers the other day talk about how they couldn't believe how incredible and energetic the Iron Maiden concert was the other week.
Amazing how Bruce and the band hasn't lost a thing in all of these years!!
bruce is so terrific, so refreshing to see a metal musician that is also an intellectual.
Bruce is Aces in my book. Saw them twice back in the day, was at the Live After Death concert taping at Long Beach (scream for me!) Haven't followed them for the past decade or so but they always have a place in my young man's hard rock heart. The guy is a licensed commercial jet pilot on top of everything else, smart bugger, and his attitude towards life and music continue to inspire me. Up the Irons!!
I can't wait to read his book!! Bruce is amazing.
Such an incredible singer. Very well spoken as well. Icon.
Chemical Wedding is the best metal album ever
True. At least the best of the 90's.
WHY DOES THIS VID NOT HAVE 1,000,000,000 VIEWS?
Bruce is an intelligent, down to earth man- he doesn't beheave like crazy rock star or diva. He is my favourite. Very likeable person.
Iron Maiden the greatest thank you
What a man he is !
I love Bruce, he was a (just a) singer at my childhood and now he's a some kind of superman who shows you that you can really use that time on earth smart.
The think with maiden is the seem to have the ability to speak to your soul it gets you and before you know it your hooked for life
Darren C wow. Never happened to me.
The world really does need Iron Maiden
One of the greatest singers and frontmen of all time.
Greatest rock frontman/singer of all time. Period.
GREAT interview! I've been a fan since I saw the original Maiden (with Paul DiAnno) at The Palladium, NYC way back in the day! Those were the days! We even had real stereo systems back then with speakers that could go down to 20Hz, instead of listening on tiny PC speakers or tiny cheap bluetooth speakers! The whole music EXPERIENCE was different back then!
Listen to this man and become ENLIGHTENED...
I wouldn’t have made it anywhere without their influence and being able to vent my frustrations in that head banging way
Lol. Love him!!!! Could hear him talk Forever ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Bruce of course 😊🙌🏻🙌🏻
somewhere in time is still my fave maiden cd.
You know you've truly made it all the way when Charlie Rose asks you to come on his show. 😁👍🥂
God Bless Bruce Dickinson.
Why can't I find Charlie Rose on TV anymore?
Iron Maiden meets Charlie Rose? Now, I've seen everything .
UP THE IRONS !!
You too must've seen the kind of pro-pmrc, pro censorship douche bagery rose spewed in the 80's! At least ass shats like geraldo had the guts to reverse himself on the satanic panic that he helped to promote & publicly regretted the results. Where's cr's apology for actually suggesting that suicide solution caused a teen to kill himself? or interviewing tipper gore in the least objective, most sycophantic manner imagined! Bruce probably knows all of this & he's one hell of a guy for giving Mr Feminist ("in good standing.") the time of day!
What a humble dude!
Fascinating man...amazing band!
Don't forget that the term heavy metal was used in the Steppenwolf song Born to be Wild. Uriah Heep is also in that group that helped to develop the heavy metal sound. Black Sabbath, Free, Deep purple are other groups that come to mind. I appreciate his candor.
all these years with no air play
Love this band!
Bruce is BaaadAsssss!!!!
Maiden Rules🤘🤘🤘!!!
Bruce is a legend. A guy leaves an institution of a band: Iron Maden, and does awesome work solo as well.
Maiden fan since the beginning, UP THE IRONS
I would love to meet him. He’s my idol. He completely inspired me to sing and play in a band.
Same here man
That sparkle in his eye when he said "Yes I can!" 4:26
my favourite band of all time..
Best Band Universe!!!
Iron Maiden are a British institution & i love em!. Up the Irons!!!
Bruce and the band are the best!! Hell of a guy
Totally awesome
The world needs Iron Maiden! There is a certain magic and youthful aura they bring back to the genre.
Interviewed Bruce at Air Tattoo 10 years back. Top bloke.
Trivial info: I think Dickinson mixes up William S. Burroughs (an author from the beat generation) and Edgar Rice Burroughs (the creator of Tarzan) in the beginning of the interview and says "William Rice Burroughs" :) . Got me very confused for a while as well... Neverthless, many thanks to Mr. Dickinson for pointing this out. (And of course, many thanks to him for being an awesome singer and a very inspiring artist...) Apparently, it is William S. Burroughs who may take the credit for the phrase "heavy metal", but looks like there are other contenders as well: www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/the-origins-of-heavy-metal/
True renaissance man. Rock star, pilot, writer and probably a math genius.
