Bruce has so many vocal masterpieces... From the early days to modern times.. The Talisman is one that comes to mind.. Everyone has seen the live version.. There are not many people alive that could see this song as well with as much intensity as Bruce did.. To me Bruce is the greatest front man of all time.
Aptly Nicknamed “The human siren”. And for good reason. Been a fan of Bruce for forty plus years and counting. Nothing stops this guy. aging, cancer, etc; still killing it.🎶🤘
The funny thing is that the whole "air raid siren" was meant as an insult from a music critic, lol. They actually said something like, "Listening to Bruce Dickinson singing is like an air raid siren inside a cement mixer, lol 😆 I wonder if that person had a long career in the music business, with silly statements like that?!😂🤣
Bruce Dickinson is the greatest metal vocalist of all time!!! The fact that he has a powerful voice, with a wide range, along with those epic screams just proves that fact!!! 🤘🤘
Bruce in Samson in early Maiden stuff, was one of the best vocalists ever in history...it was absolutely ridiculous...the range, vibrato, tone, grit...it was just perfection
Bruce Dickinson is so underrated. If you listen to his live performances, he supports every single vocal projection, even now after decades. His low notes are well supported as well. My favorite live performance is "Hallowed be Thy Name" 1982 live. And "Seventh son of the Seventh Son" 2014 live, 30 years up to that point and his vocals were intact, sometimes even better. I think it's all due to his incredible technique.
What?? underated? Are you nuts?? Bruce's one the most respected voices in all of heavy metal history, even my mother and my aunt, people with zero knowledge on metal, know about him
@@chiyo-chanholocaust8143 They probably mean he's underrated in mainstream music. Lots of people hail autotuned pop voices when they remain oblivious to true vocal gems like Bruce.
@ashensamarakoon7761 Holy crap, that is just insane🤯 Wow, that is the best breath control I've heard,...ever👏🤘 Up the mighty Irons and Brucey, Brucey, Brucey🤘🤘🤘🤘
Bruce Dickinson was called the air raid siren, but The funny thing is that the whole "air raid siren" was meant as an insult from a music critic, near the start of Bruces excellent career, 😆 lol They actually said something like, "Listening to Bruce Dickinson sing is like an air raid siren inside a cement mixer, lol 😆 I wonder if that person had a long career in the music business, with silly statements like that?!😂🤣
The high notes get all of the praise when it comes to metal, but as high as he can get, Bruce is capable of singing a low E1 when he sings "Sign of The Cross" live (originally a Blaze Bayley tune)... lower than a lot of baritones can hit, let alone tenors. Listen to the intro... the second syllable of the word "away" lands squarely on E1.
Fun fact: Bruce learned how to sing from his first girlfriend. She was a singer and she taught him the basics of breathing. He still credits his breathing techniques to this day
The story behind the scream of The Number Of The Beast is just amazing. He screamed out of frustration, from trying to record a scream that satisfied Martin for when the song broke in after the intro. His scream of frustration was captured, and satisfied Martins ear for the song. Imagine that
I was checking where I got that info from... it was Wikipedia, and apparently I misread 1999 for 1991! I'm sorry about it. At least the album being his first solo album after rejoining Iron Maiden part is correct, right? This is the fragment from Wikipedia which I used: "It is his first solo album (Tyranny Of Souls) since rejoining Iron Maiden in 1999 and his most recent studio album as a solo artist to date." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_Souls Thanks for the correction!
You don’t know anything until you’ve watched Sampson play Live at Reading… He’s so relax in his performance compared to the already excellent album versions of songs like vice versa, take it like a man, riding with the Angels… The whole performance is absolutely incendiary. 🔥
Some years ago I was at a Maiden show and Bruce starts screaming.... and the public went along, atter a while everybody stopped and the scream was still going on...... never saw something like that. No breaks, nothing, it went on and on and on.
Bruce is excellent and has been singing for so long now, its amazing his voice is still going. How about Rob Halford from Judas Priest or the lead singer of the band Steelheart- they both have amzing vocal range.
Bruce had Throat cancer a few years back and he still sounds the same and he still tours, he takes care of himself, some of these old rockers let themselves go but not Bruce, he still sounds incredible.
I saw him live when I was 14 and then I saw him last night for his spoken words tour and he did a chorus to one of my favorite songs … he sounds exactly the same live and that is so hard to do
Bruce is the best 🙌🏻 What also comes to my mind: "Dance of Death - Live En Vivo" singing while jumping around and you can't hear it in his voice at all. Also, some crazy belting on "Sacred Cowboys" from one of his solo albums. That scream mid of "The one you love to hate" live with Rob Halford. And let's not forget the scream in the beginning of "Number of the Beast" 🔥

Please do one on Blackie Lawless! He is one of the best vocalists of all time, and he is unmatched! He’s a vocalist that still sounds great, 40 years later!
For me the real proof of a vocalist is in the live setting and this is where Bruce excels. My personal faves are his vocals on the 1982 Beast Over Hammersmith gig, 2001 Rock in Rio and his solo band performance on 1999 Scream for Me Brazil. In particular check out the long note he holds on to for the Rio performance of Hallowed by Thy Name near the end. On the Scream for Me Brazil recording it's the song The Chemical Wedding and the line " and all the lighthouses their beams converge to guide me home ". Stunning stuff! Back up to date I do think his recent high range vocals are sometimes a little strained. Cancer and age maybe having an effect. It's not not also helped when Steve Harris gives him high range lyrics that are complicated and tongue twisting with awkward phrasing. Examples being parts of The Red and The Black and The Book of Souls.
Bruce is the man a powerful voice he has one the the best voices in metal hard rock next is the late great everlasting Ronnie James Dio a killer voice Ronnie had and Rob halford ronnie.will forever live on rip mate 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧rock loud and.very proud metalheads and up the irons!!;;maiden manic peace and love to all🇬🇧🇬🇧⭐⭐🎸🎸🎸🎵🎵🎵🎵⚡⚡⚡🎶🎶🎶
Please do an episode on Tony Harnell. He can scream while singing melodically, as in the TNT song, Rain or the Westworld track, Black Shadow Symphony. He’s one of the most incredible singers ever!
@@dowens3781 that's why those songs are unique--because he did. You can hear the resonance is pretty forward-placed, and not what most would easily control, at those pitches.
@Crazy Singing Please cover Geoff Tate. I've always been amazed that Layne Staley and Geoff Tate had the same vocal coach. I read that when Layne was. studying with. him,, he told Layne that he would be as famous as Geoff Tate. I forget his name
Don’t miss spot number 0! All my videos have an additional vocal line at the end
I personally believe that Bruce's best scream was at the end of the song "flight of Icarus" where he changed notes while screaming!
Just remarkable!
If you haven't heard it, take a listen to the Sampson song "Take me to your leader" . His scream in that one is awesome.
When doing it live now he doesn't do it in a single breath anymore, but it is still breathtaking and powerful ♥ plus flamethrowers haha
The Thin Line Between Love And Hate has always had the best grouping of vocal notes that I’ve heard to this day.
FOREEEEEEEEEVVVEEEER!!!
Yooo finally my man, Bruce Dickinson is an EXCELLENT singer
Bruce is an amazing musician and frontman. He can give an amazing show and also give an amazing vocal performance all at the same time
Bruce Dickinson is a Amazing Singer. Amazing voice I think he best voice in Heavy Metal.
Definitely up there with Phil Anselmo and Ronnie James Dio.
@@decemberflower3990 dude i fucking love phil anselmo but he aint close to bruce dickinson lol. Bruce and ronnie sure

Tears of the Dragon 😉
1982 Bruce Dickinson. Nobody can touch that guy.
Agreed lol
In 82 he sang like he had something to prove. He sounded great back then.
His voice got way better as he got older. 1995-2005 in particular.
imo his prime was 1985-1995 insane fucking skills and not very used vocal
I dunno. Geoff Tate wasn't far off. Current Bruce is still 🔥

Love that trill to the C#5 during The Thin Line Between Love and Hate. I used to get a quick shiver down my spine the first few times I listened to it
It's so beautiful!
Bruce singing The Talisman live, that is without a doubt best he has ever sang! Wow!!
Besides the range and the screams, there's his enunciation and breath control. Amazing.
your videos are literary so well made, short, summarised, great edits and looks nice with great audio quality
Thank you for this comment. You’re very kind and you’ve made me very happy! I’m glad you like the videos
@@CrazySinging great to hear that! btw i meant literary not iterary lol i will edit
He’s one of a kind. Never matched!
Best 80s metal singer 💖🤘
Oh man, those two vocal lines at the end of TTLBLAH, before and after the solo, just...so beautiful, one of the most beautiful he's ever sung
It is also a beautiful song, too😉 Lets face it. Maiden hardly makes a lesser than par song, though😜
Brave new world was one of my first CDs growing up at a teen, it is a classic and holds a special place in my heart
Love Bruce!!!!!

Bruce Dickinson is the only vocalist that can give me goosebumps when he sings! Just incredible an incredible singer!

Bruce Dickinson rejoin Iron Maiden in 1999 and this song "Eternal" is from the latest solo album, Tyranny of Souls, released in 2005. : )

As a Maiden and Dickinson fan, first time listened to “Eternal” thnx. to you. Great song

Bruce Dickinson my favourite heavy metal singer

Just posted a video on Miljenko!
IAN GILLAN!!!! PLEASE!!!!!
Aces High would be nice here too
I EVER said about how Bave new world song is wonder. Beatiful song and vocal line. Good observation, my dear.
Bruce had Throat cancer a few years back and he still sounds the same and he still tours, he takes care of himself, some of these old rockers let themselves go but not Bruce, he still sounds incredible.
My favourite singing line by bruce is Hallowed be thy name live 01: Somebody cries from a cell god be with you. Thats so insane high and great!
I saw him live when I was 14 and then I saw him last night for his spoken words tour and he did a chorus to one of my favorite songs … he sounds exactly the same live and that is so hard to do
Great channel. I expect Ian Gillan's lines soon.
Should do a follow-up with his final notes in Where Eagles Dare, Flight of Icarus, Man of Sorrows, and Hallowed be thy Name
His most difficult song has to be the talisman
Bruce is the best 🙌🏻 What also comes to my mind: "Dance of Death - Live En Vivo" singing while jumping around and you can't hear it in his voice at all. Also, some crazy belting on "Sacred Cowboys" from one of his solo albums. That scream mid of "The one you love to hate" live with Rob Halford. And let's not forget the scream in the beginning of "Number of the Beast" 🔥
the scream he did on total eclipse is one of his best and to tame a land as well
Rob Halford took care of his voice too lol, the guy can still sing like he was young
no he can't
”Eternal” is from 2005 🤘
Awesome video!
So glad you liked it friend!
You should do a follow up that covers the notes in Where Eagles Dare, Flight of Icarus, The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg, and Man of Sorrows.
Would love to see an analysis on the "...meet me there" lyrics from Senjutsu's "The Parchment."
Best metal voice ever
Yapp. He's our guy.
Bruce is probably the equal best metal singer alongside Ronnie James Dio these 2 singers are metal gods
Dio is a little bit higher
Can you do Dio next??

Could you make a video like this of Andre Matos from Viper, Angra and Shaman?
You should do a video about rappers that can sing
Do 80's Geoff Tate, that'll be the best you ever hear (though he unfortunately declined in the 90's) :)
Rejoining was in 1999. and the album was released in 2005. Eternal was only in the japanese version of tyrany of souls
His last concert with Samson before joining Maiden is absolutely ridiculous
Era, ainda é e Sempre será o maior vocalista da história

"The down in falls, comes the RAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"
ETERNAL is a B-side from 2005 album "Tyranny of Souls", his fifth album after leaving Maiden. Bruce left Maiden in 1993, and rejoined in 1999.
Tyranny of Souls is his sixth solo album and fifth after leaving Maiden.

with samson wooow amazing screams
Honestly though, his falsetto runs in Quest for Fire and Cross-Eyed Mary are pretty dope!!! 😎🖤
Bruce rarely if ever sings in falsetto - he's always had a powerful chest and head voice.

Lisnt Valery Kipelov from "Aria - Ballad about ancient russian warrior", last minutes of the song.
I think that one of the best screams that Bruce has done are the ones at the beginning of Quest For Fire
You know... there is a guy called Daniel Heiman. And there was a band - Lost Horizon. Just listen to it.
Geoff Tate please!!
Technically Geoff was better than Dickinson in 80's in my opinion
"Chains of Misery" (FotD) is total underrated >>>>>>>>>>>
End scream of Hallowed by thy name, live in hammersmith 1982 is the best and most impressive from bruce in my opinion.
Man I wish these videos were longer
thank you!!! Been workin on that!
@@CrazySinging it would be cool to see full length song deep dives etc..love these videos but always think man I wish they were longer
Listen to the 1983 Hammersmith bootleg! That's the highest sick notes I've ever heard from Bruce! The end of Where Eagles Dare for example!
Cam i have Just the scream from the end for my ringtone
Communion Samson Bruce’s best vocal performance
The power of babies is sadly so underrated 😌
I think the craziest singing he ever did was the verse ''Crocodile smiles, just wait awhile...'' in Holy Smoke. It sounds diplophonic.
Michael Kiske deserves a chapter here.
You miss the scream at the end of Flight of Icarus, 1983, Piece of mundo album
Geoff Tate from Queensryche or Midnight from Crimson Glory would be great fits for this channel
