Behind the Scenes with Bruce - part 2

[@stephanfuchs7891]

This is not just a band. It's a whole company running in the back. Thank you for showing us a bit of the work that is done to please us, the fans.

[@aboutthemetal8783]

You are more right than you know , Iron maiden the band is part of a company called , iron maiden holdings , everything to do with iron maiden goes through maiden holdings , all the merch at the shows , the multiple versions of figures that get made , the trooper ale ,etc etc . People often don't see how clever maiden as a business has been for years , think about this , when they released number of the beast they did a picture disc album , two 7 inch picture disc singles,ltd run of coloured vinyl albums , and the regular black vinyl and tapes ,( when vinyl and tapes were the thing ) if you liked maiden you were buying the single and the single picture disc and so on ,so for one album a fan buys the two singles ,the 2 picture disc singles , the album and the pic version and more than likely the coloured vinyl to , that's how you sell records , brilliant buisniss move .

[@gutshorak]

I just love how iron maiden shows to theirs fans how all the magic happens. Since always they have this culture of showing the wonderful backstage job that is done. Love this band!!!!

They deserve every single dollar! What an effort!!

Man! The " dollars" is nothing! Wath they do hear is History! Spirituality I can say! So sorry for the age & time that change a lot for everyone. When in fact the people that have nothing to say have to give their credit to the one who has to say a lot!!!! Like Iron Maiden for example!!!

[@MsBenlane]

Always enjoy spending time with Bruce only wish this was longer But those stairs do not look safe

[@zylone1]

This guy is simply the most serious and funny guy at the same time. He acts so friendly and professional. This Maiden machine ist one of the most important companions of my live. Thank you from Germany for so many years of wonderful music. Yesterday my 11 years old son logged into my car music while I was driving home. His choice, turning up the volume, was ….. Fear of the dark. We were 3 minutes away from home. I made 7 senseless turns around our home to to keep us rocking within the car until the song ends. Thats what Maiden stands for.

[@legiasrb]

I wish you long life Bruce! There is no Iron Maiden without you!

[@Alex-wf4px]

38 years ago I was drawing Iron Maiden on the cover of my high school notebook. After all these years, here I am, still supporting and enjoying my favorite band.

[@afraid_to_shoot_strangers8066]

Same here , just 28 years ago I was doing the same thing and now went to the concert with my son...up the Irons 🤘🏻😎

[@maggeo4156]

I love Bruce's Eddie Christmas sweater 😂🤘🔥

[@marchean83]

It moves me to tears. I have goosebumps wtching how they get old in such a dignified manner, but also because of the fact that one day sooner or later we will have to part. They have been with me almost my entire life so I'm taking my five year old son to the next gig as I know it can be the only one he'll ever see. He's a big fan❤️🤘

[@ekolog8201]

Would be nice to have some insider`s info, like are they planning new album or next year tour.

[@marchean83]

@@ekolog8201 Just think they are in their mid 60's, Nicko being 70. I think it's the last album. They'd have to release a new album now or next year which is highly doubtful with ongoing tour. I think that as soon as they finish touring (maybe in 2 yrs' time) they will announce retirement.

[@ekolog8201]

@@marchean83 Yes you are probably right, still it would be nice to have an official farewell tour.

[@Vortigan07]

I fully get this!! They've been a near constant companion since I was about 14 (in 1983) Latest show just last night in Manchester and they were as good as they've ever been, even better, if anything. They genuinely make me so happy I could cry. Nicko was visibly in tears as he left the stage last night, that could have been just because you could really sense the extra love in the air for him so I'm sure he did too, I hope so. To quote Bruce at the end, "We will definitely be back"...my personal thought is that they'll go through to 2025 and have a special 50th anniversary year. After that, who knows? Either way though, the thought of them not being active in the world is already upsetting...but when they do call it a day, they'll have given it everything, that much is certain! Up The Irons!

[@garethparr9482]

How very well put. I was at the show in Manchester on Friday and I agree they were better than they have ever been. I think they will tour again but as sad as it will be when they do call it a day us fans have to consider the band and not just be selfish. They have paid there dues and given us fans 200% over 40 odd years. Don’t be sad they have retired be glad we had them for so long!! Up the irons ❤️

[@scotkaeff7456]

I absolutely love these guys and it's fascinating to get a glimpse behind the curtain! Knight these guys! They have done so much for English culture and history, from remembering famous battles to celebrating old poems, from pondering British legends to commemorating national tragedies. If they don't deserve a knighthood then nobody does.

Brian johnson and Angus young deserves them to without a doubt knighthood them they did so much for charity behind closed doors never want anything In return and they are like english Rose's all of them are knighthood acdc and iron maiden they have done so much for others in the past decades.

[@scottstedeford7575]

Bruce stands out among the sea of talent in his industry. A couple of things that strike me: Unpretentious. He does his stage craft with the perfect mix of class and tongue-in-cheek. Always comes across the same off stage as on. In the same vein, he is perhaps the only lead vocalist in his class who can afford teeth implants but who seems to be unpersuaded by the lure of this cosmetic homogenization. (Kudos to you, mate, you look great!) Finally, he is a consummate pro, not just in music but in every endeavor he’s ever undertaken. As for his vocals, in so many ways he’s even better in recent years than in Maiden’s heyday - well, they actually still are in their heyday, as they have only increased in popularity and sound better and better with time (A Matter of Life and Death is a masterpiece in every respect, and maybe their finest album). Few metal singers have the stamina and pipes like Bruce. Few, if any, improve like Bruce after all the years he’s been doing it.
