I can still remember listening to this album for the first time and being absolutely shocked. I knew from that moment that I was listening to something special. Being that it was the late 90's and during a weird time for metal. Bruce Dickinson teaming up with Adrian Smith and Roy Z was a brilliant move. "Accident of Birth" and later "A Chemical Wedding" took the muscular heaviness of the best 90's groove metal, with the thick, chunky detuned guitars, and fused it perfectly with the melodic sense of drama of traditional metal. Bruce was able to do what Iron Maiden refused to do and what Judas Priest failed to do successfully: he updated his sound for a new generation while still staying true to his traditional metal roots.
You're absolutely right. Those two albums...I can't count how many times I've been listening to them thru the years. Masterpieces and two of the best ever done if you ask me.
You really could make a case that Roy Z helped usher in a second golden era for metal by resuscitating the careers of Bruce and Rob, which led to reunions for their respective bands. I know that's a major oversimplification of how the metal scene came back, but it was a big part of it. I was too young to experience the ‘80s but the metal scene resurgence in the late ‘90s/early ‘00s was quite terrific as well.
@@samheeley There's quite some more songs which have that maiden feel like abduction. But I agree, his stuff has some sort of variety from maiden and is actually high quality
I like how you can 100% tell Adrian Smith's tone, phrasing and probably even equipment here is EXACTLY the ones you get on Iron Maiden's "Brave New World" album which was just around the corner from being recorded when this came out, the solo on "The Wicker Man" sound like a direct sequel to this solo
Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding are both absolutely brilliant. No wonder the Maiden camp suggested a reunion after this one-two punch. Bruce’s voice was reinvigorated…the time off did it wonders. And thank god Adrian came back as well…his contributions to the band during the reunion era have been incalculable.
I agree! No Maiden Album since they got together again convinced me that much as these two solo records, though. So I‘m very much looking forward to a promised new Solo Album from Bruce.
Accident of birth was replayed in my car cassette player an even amount of times with seventh son of a seventh son. That's how much I liked that album. Chemical wedding was less, but still good
I got this album the day it came out and as a huge maiden and Dickinson fan it did not disappoint 😎👌 still a favorite of mine(accident of birth)I really enjoyed Bruce's solo career cuz his voice got to go in different directions and it still sounded amazing 👏 skunkworks is also a great example of this.
According to Nicko , Blaze Bailey was feeling a lot of pressure as the frontman for Maiden . And wasn't confident any longer . He left on his own . And that's when they decided to approach Bruce for a reunion .
I always thought he said the original quote, "The road to Hell is *paved* with good intentions." He says, "full of good intentions". It's like my life has been a lie this entire time!
This and accident of birth videos were recorded the same day correct bruce? Hehehehe. One of the most important álbum in my life. Big fan of maiden but i felt sad when bruce quit his sólo project with tribe...accident and chemical....balls...wow. tiranny was good too.
@@MegaDeox No official date yet but if you search for it online you'll get interviews where he says it'll be before the end of 2022. The increased activity here, uploading vids, makes be hopeful it's right around the corner.
The Accident of Birth album is shockingly good. For me, this and Chemical Wedding are the pinnacle of heavy metal.

I feel you, man.
Well said, and I feel the exact same way. Bruce's last 3 solo albums are heavier and better than anything that Maiden has put out since Powerslave.
Najbolji su pileći bataci i krompir pire. Jeste li jeli sarmu možda nekada?
The voice of heavy metal
Best singer.
I think Bruce Dickinson's solo project is underrated
this is the one song that actually sounds like it could be a Maiden number. But yeah, loads of great tracks and nice to have the variety from Maiden.

ballads are freaking good
Phenomenal music ❤❤❤
Bruce & Rory🎵🎸
I love Bruce, he made Maiden complete. This is great.
Speed kill rock👍

Bruce Dickenson, amazing voice. Adrian Smith, bad ass guitarist. All musicians, amazing sound and band.
Badass adrain solo 🤘
Belíssima voz canto maravilhoso sou fã desde sempre belíssima música aliás todas as músicas do Bruce são ótimas
Highschool age's ❤
A lot of truth to that song!
Great song, and part of one of the best albums in heavy metal. Adrian’s solo is really spot on!
I saw him in İstanbul. He is still fucking amazing.

I remember at the time i didn't want Bruce to rejoin Maiden . These 2 albums were amazing ...
Bruce ❤🤘🏻🤘🏻
Bruce is amazing! Period! I love his singing! And energy always!
Blast from the past... thanks.
That drummer with the mask looks so cool, killer song in deed.
Love
All hail King Bruce 🙇
All Bruce Dickinson solo albuns are very good!
Skunkworks sucks
@@Matheus_Piter I like it. It's different

Esse Cara é Fera, presença de palco insana, voz descomunal, o cara é monstro !
Bruce es Bruce...
Essa música é pura adrenalina.
NICE SONG !
We love you Bruce 🇭🇺🤟
Adrian 🤘
Lead break takes me back to the number of the beast .., the prisoner . Hot 🔥
Cadê os brasileiros com bom gosto???
Thank you.
Bruce is god ❤❤❤❤long life🤘🤘🎤🎤🎸🎸
Up!!!
Might request they play this one at my funeral...
I think ur solo efforts are so incredible. Masterpieces: everything from Crowley to ur records. Only one equal was Dio. Ur the greatest living artist.
Well stated
Классная песня
Jes, thats ROCK'N ROLL FOR ME AND IRON MAIDEN .......❤❤❤❤❤❤. AND I L O V E HIS ROCK VOICE. ❤❤❤
Good
I wish he would tour 😩 and come to Texas.....Houston to be exact lol
This is really good
Hell Yeah! 🤘🤘🤘 This is freaking awesome. 🔥🔥🔥
Abso-bloody-lutely love love love this song! Masterpiece!!!!
나이를 거꾸로 드시네 ㅎ ❤
I will dance with this song the whole my life
the vocal mix on this is way better than the studio version
Eu sou muito fã do Bruce Adrian Smith toca muito desce quando começou no iron maiden sempre acompanhei
Steve Harris must have heard this in '97 and thought, "Yeah we need these guys back in the band ASAP".
According to Nicko , Blaze Bailey was feeling a lot of pressure as the frontman for Maiden . And wasn't confident any longer . He left on his own . And that's when they decided to approach Bruce for a reunion .
🔥🔥🔥
En esta época se cortó el pelo pero no le paso como a sansón y siguió cantando con mucha fuerza!
I love Roy Z! Although... I do slightly prefer Adrian Smith's playing. Nevertheless, they made a great team on this album!
Wow grande dikinson
Like his invention is enthusiastic. In what he believes.. people don't need to hurt other people. War sucks
it is my favorite song 👍🇮🇩

Dickinson, el más grande de todos los demonios del metal. 😈 #LongLiveToAirRaidSiren

Roy Z has a Midas touch
Hi frome France ! Bruce give us another solo album pleaaaaase ! ;)
Great song. Headache inducing video.
Divine
🤟🔥🔥🔥
Bruce el mejor ❤
I always thought he said the original quote, "The road to Hell is *paved* with good intentions."
He says, "full of good intentions". It's like my life has been a lie this entire time!
Earliest known version of the proverb is by st. Bernard clairvoix (1091-1153)- "hell is full of good wished and desires"
@@puncrock2952 according to google but w/e...I am sad he doesn't say it correctly.
The God Is singing....
This and accident of birth videos were recorded the same day correct bruce? Hehehehe. One of the most important álbum in my life. Big fan of maiden but i felt sad when bruce quit his sólo project with tribe...accident and chemical....balls...wow. tiranny was good too.
Accidental, Chemical and Tyranny are his perfect solo trilogy. Wish he done more. Although Brave New World was badass
Bruce Dickinson solo material > Blaze Bayley Maiden material....thumbs up if you agree!
I've been saying this since Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding came out.
I was golf a story by Bruce and i liked it
So fucking hyped for the new album! Wonder if Janick and/or Adrian will be on it.
What? A new solo album finally? Can't wait for it.
What new album? I didn't see any announcement.
I don’t believe Adrian has any involvement unfortunately. It will be Roy Z handling all guitar duties like Tyranny of Souls.
@@MegaDeox
Well Bruce has had a follow-up to ToS in the works for years and years now. No official announcement but he insists it’s forthcoming.
@@MegaDeox No official date yet but if you search for it online you'll get interviews where he says it'll be before the end of 2022. The increased activity here, uploading vids, makes be hopeful it's right around the corner.
Iron Maiden
Da questo video si capisce perché Bruce e Adrian sono stati richiamati da Ron Smallwood negli Iron Maiden, e mai tale decisione fu più azzeccata
👍👊❤
They should have shaken the camera a bit more....
PS> Accident of Birth and Chemical Wedding = best metal albums ever
I know, right?
finally😮😮😮
ehmm is it me or was there a flanger used on guitar on that riff before second verse? I mean originally
Yep! You're right. I missed that too
Flanger is gone and also a lot of effects on the vocals in this 2001 remastered version.
Adorable
🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
New album soon? 🤓
That's it
Iron Maiden hell yeah 🇬🇧🤘🤘🤘🤘
Bruce Dickinson is good as Iron Maiden.
Iron Maiden was not the old Iron Maiden without Bruce.
Don't judge me, but Bruce has way more freedom and authenticity here than in Iron Maiden.
It's interesting how Steve's input died off until the rest could just make their own records if they wanted.
Way better than anything written by Harris.
Wait, stop, think again
@@JohnDoe-rp3mx better than anything made by Maiden, except for Judas be my guide, which was not written by Harris.
🤘🎸🎸🎸❤
"o álbum que o maiden não gravou".
In the same vein of "The Trooper" I am still alive!!!
Надеюсь, эти клипы не просто так появляются... Новый готовится?
Bass or bass-profundo?
I like both Dickinson and Iron Maiden but love Bruce Dickinson more then Iron Maiden
BRUCE DICKINSON AIR RAID SIREN
Master
godddddddddddddddddddddd
