Bruce Dickinson | Charlie Rose

[@NicoleTunis]

The world DOES need Iron Maiden!

[@JEKAZOL]

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.

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.

[@hugh-johnfleming289]

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!

Bruce and Maiden are in the genre of musical integrity, skill and passion 🤘

[@randallfloyd4476]

nicely said.....they are the consummate professionals.

[@thomasjones4932]

"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.

[@billphillips4614]

[@kennyfpowers6289]

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!

[@Suzumebachigr]

what if Axl was really sick though?You dont know that.

[@timpenfield5]

BD IS A LITTLE BETTER THAN AXL, HAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaha

[@john-bs8pt]

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.

[@crashman6]

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.

[@IggyBing]

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.

[@billjannusch]

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.

[@ericjennings2508]

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!

[@MarkBoyd]

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!!!!!!!

[@paulthacker9144]

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.

[@UnchainedEruption]

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.

[@hasansafakiroglu3226]

"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!

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

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.

[@Elnont]

Bruce released one of the best metal albums ever as a solo artist… chemical wedding is a beast of an album.

[@jdg6336]

saw the 1983 piece of mind tour. best concert ever. piece of mind was their peak for me.

[@minecraftvillager2426]

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.

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.
