You can tell that Bruce is really focused on the singing part because he plants himself and barely moves during this one. Normally he’s all over the place.
I agree.. This is a difficult song to sing which some singers would not agree to sing. Not sure Big Brain Singer chose the best one here. I love to hear Bruce sing Hallowed Be thy Name and the way he holds a long long note which seems forever. I do not think Bruce sang this Talisman song often!. I wouldn't.
Nope, he hadn't had any training at that point. But I think he got to know his voice a lot more in the 90s during his solo career. He had coaching in 2016 after his cancer.
Bruce really plants himself in this song, almost like he's trying to summon energy to sing this extremely demanding song. Especially when you compare it to footage from songs like the trooper where he's barely stood still fir 5 seconds at a time. The perfect song to demonstrate what Bruce is capable of especially in the modern maiden era
According to most sources, Bruce Dickinson has never had formal training of any kind, but instead has a "naturally operatic" voice. ... When he returned to Iron Maiden in 1999, he returned to his classic air raid sound, although by then his voice had deepened slightly due to age
he says in his book he has not had vocal coaching but when an ex girlfriend said you might have a voice he went to the library for books on singing. he has a chapter in his book discussing his voice.
Funny thing you say about only listening to the studio versions, personally i listen to about 90 % of them Live except for some of the oldies where I want to hear that majestic belt from young Bruce
There’s only one Bruce !!!! He is unique! I recommend you to react to more live maiden songs : The rime of the ancient mariner (flight 666) Dance of death ( live in Dormund) Paschendale ( also from Dormund) Hallowed be thy name (hammer smith )
@@longestday9727 It is relevant, because the vocal coach assumed in the video that this was filmed after he'd had vocal training, and the above comment stated that he has never had any vocal training. I was merely stating a fact, since people seem to be confused about whether or not Bruce has had vocal training or not.
Came here with the intenttion of understanding Bruce Dickinson voice because I wanted to sound and sing like him... went away with a valuable lesson about trying to express the song and not to impress people. You're right, nowadays everyone want to impress other people. You're great, absolutely great. Thanks for this video, for your works and for all the help you always give
The odd-order harmonics... 3rd,5th, 7th, and even 9th... So high in level that it often sounds like he's sharp... But if you listen for the fundamental, you realize that he's actually dead on pitch. I know how the sound works, I was a sonar tech. I have no freaking clue how Bruce makes his vocal tract do it... For four decades. --Shannon
I know James Hetfield had vocal lessons mid career. I can say that Bruce's audition song "Remember Tomorrow" is an extremely difficult song to sing and he may have had some informal training to help him with the song.
"He sounds like electric guitar in some parts without losing like depth of color". Yeah... Sometimes he make that cat's sound and it's really coo! Always liked his unique timbre. For me, he is a perfection an example of how a rock singer's voice should sound.
because he is bald? bruce had hair practically to his waist but it is short here because he also had a career as a full time passenger jet pilot pilot and flew the band around the world when not working with the band. then during the pandemic he grew it out again very long and then trimed it back. says has never had vocal coaching or lessons but way back did go to the library.
Thanks to UA-cam reactions I am an Iron maiden fan now 👀🐱👤👍 But I have much to learn and take in. Marko's Voice does more resemble Ronny James Dio to me. (By the way cosmic, Brexit is hated by British Artists) Notebook, Epic !!! Oh to frail voices when times go on ? Listen to Henk Poort,64 by now, practice every day !!!
That makes sense, Marko said Dio was a big influence to him as a singer, Bruce also said the same. Ronnie James Dio was just a legend of metal vocals, the "metal version of Freddie Mercury" as another vocal coach said.

It as good, if not better than the studio version.
@@Noksivs a lot better and faster :)

I was in that concert 😍. Bruce is a beast!! Iron Maiden Chile es tu casa 🤘🏻

This is phenomenal! As a 30+ year fan of Maiden, this is definitely one of my favorites.

Although Dickinson never received formal training, he still possesses a wide vocal range which was trademarked by his quasi-operatic tenor.
greetings from germany......i am glad he is able to sing anyway.....after his terrible throat cancer he has beat......few years ago
One of my favourite maiden songs!🤟🏼
Funny thing you say about only listening to the studio versions, personally i listen to about 90 % of them Live except for some of the oldies where I want to hear that majestic belt from young Bruce
Subbed, been waiting for a coach to react to this for ages and your dissection is really really insightful
you don't see dave murray on a les paul very often
There’s only one Bruce !!!! He is unique! I recommend you to react to more live maiden songs :
The rime of the ancient mariner (flight 666)
Dance of death ( live in Dormund)
Paschendale ( also from Dormund)
Hallowed be thy name (hammer smith )
Bruce has never had vocal coaching. He shared a flat with as a student with a girl who was a classical singer and learnt some vocal exercises from her
HE HAD ZERO VOCAL TRAINING JUST LIKE RONNIE JAMES DIO WHO JUST PLAYED TRUMPET
Bruce has never had training only at school when an ex girlfriend suggested it before he was in a band.
He did after the throat cancer.
@@mrcoatsworth429 That's irrelevant here since the Chile gig was 2011/12.

@@mrcoatsworth429 Fair enough.
Whenever someone tries to tell you what you can or can't do at 54 years of age, show him this video.
I'm beyond shocked by this "man's" voice
That quality you were looking for might be sustain, as in the pedal/digital effect.
Thanks for your words on the culture of sacrifice.

he says in his book no coaching but read books. after the cancer treatment for throat cancer the dr told him to rest and wait.
something as simple as a song taking the perspective of a sailor on a voyage from Europe to America in the 17th or 18th century
You should Hollowed Be They Name official video from 1983 it's live and recorded 2 days before the album was released.
1982
@@iyiseyirler3732 yup !
Bruce never assumed he attended for singing classes. And he never tells of his techiniques.

Speaking of, the metallica cover of remember tomorrow is awesome shit too

15:10 excellent explanation, thank you!
A reminder💡
Bruce Dickinson has a PhD in Music !
An honorary one but still amazing!
@@d68st90 probably more justified than many actual ones, all things considered :)
Your reaction is very good friend but I don't like that you stop the video too much ...

so in westward the tide i hear his chest voice is thinning out. How does he do that?
Please try Hollowed Be Thy Name live!

Bruce is a Brexiteer.
