Bruce Dickinson - Interview (Chemical Wedding)

Friday Rock Show VH-1 1998

[@skulatore7661]

Bruce is such a respectful and humble man. Incredible.

[@MsBenlane]

a class act

[@jamesbailey2377]

The Chemical Wedding: One of the GREAT heavy metal albums ever made. A unique and sublime work. I’m a Maiden fan from 1982 on, and it’s my opinion that nothing they’ve done since 1988 has come close to this masterpiece.

[@highlanderlambert5688]

In my opinion chemical wedding cant touch anything maiden has done. Without iron maiden bruce is nothing vice versa

[@robins5798]

The Chemical Wedding is indeed a masterpiece, and I'd say Bruce was at his absolute peak vocally during this era too. Everything was just clicking on that album, the songwriting, the production, the vocals, the lyrics and the overall atmosphere. Great stuff.

[@PatCicinelli]

Bruce needs to do another solo album with Rippin' Roy Z...

[@GeoffSaari]

aaaand there you go .. The Mandrake Project tour is here now

[@afterburner8083]

Bruce is such a great guy

[@Fritha71]

That face!! 😍 Bruce at his' hottest during the short hair era. He really is the Metal God for all eternity. Chemical Wedding is pure class from start to finish.

[@liz6965]

I agree! I’ve not seen a guy look hot with long hair and fringe and even more gorgeous with short hair. Both really suit him. Now he’s older I think short would look great on him again.

[@Elnont]

The chemical wedding is one of the GOATs metal albums imo. Easily better than any Maiden album put out at this time.

[@Skunkworks46]

Bruce is Magician

[@brucedickinson12]

accident of birth and chemical wedding were so much better than the two albums maiden released with b bayley

[@kitomir9962]

x factor was very good

[@christschinwon]

Maiden missed Bruce but in terms of songwriting they missed Adrian a lot more. All the pressure was suddenly on Steve to come up with songs and he hit a wall having used so much great material in the 80's

[@jeremycubs8331]

@Samson 92 absolutely agree, Mainly because Maiden of all the people in the world hired someone who can't even sing and acted like a robot on stage

[@robins5798]

The X Factor was a very good album with a dark atmosphere and some truly great songs on it. Virtual XI however was a pile of dogshit.

[@kolyochakalov8292]

Virtual XI is greater for me.

[@ultimatemetalguitartones]

Easily one of the heaviest albums...

[@thebestofu-tubebytheresaes5189]

I love him. Would like to meet him and so much more

[@jonshaw9472]

I did,.. He was quite miserable and didn't speak.. You should never meet your idols.

[@thebestofu-tubebytheresaes5189]

I would probably make him smile when did you meet him?? Give him my no 484 892 5976

[@jonshaw9472]

@@thebestofu-tubebytheresaes5189 funny you should say that as he was quite interested in my wife (at the time) he spoke to her but ignored everyone else. It was after a gig in Dudley, England in 1995, he came out to meet the fans of which there were about 20 people. Blaze Bayley was there he was chatting with everyone and had a pint with me. Fantastic gig, balls to Picasso was a brilliant album.

[@CrownRoyal144]

Bruce" The Fearless One.

[@booshting3520]

Calm down, son

[@lordharry423]

He shows Iron Maiden more respect than Samson

[@papaxud7199]

What a bloke 🤘

[@punkdumbass9048]

I think the answer to the question is 'Can I Play With Madness?'

[@alcovefib]

The movie got made in the end lol.

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

top 10 album after 1990

[@may17arinha]

Nossa como ele está sexy nessa entrevista omg! A tshirt é terrível mas eu gostei❤❤❤

[@jeffcordova9633]

the respect he has for maiden at that time when not even a full year later he would be back in the band with Adrian.. but I can see why people make comparisons cause People dog down Virtual XI, & Praise Wedding with grandeur...it's Bruce being back in the metal limelight... I really think Broken & Silver Wings could be played by maiden live ... it's got maiden written all over it!!!!

[@deathofsteel7081]

He was already back in the metal limelight with "Accident of Birth", which came out 1 year before "Chemical Wedding". And if he should have one of his songs in Iron Maiden's shows, then it is actually "Road to Hell"!!!!!! THAT song's got classic 80s Iron Maiden written ALL OVER IT!!!!!!!!! And no wonder, as it is written by Bruce and Adrian! It's even got that classic Iron Maiden sound, guitar solos and energy!!!!!!! NO other songs from Bruce's solo career sounds like that!!!!!!

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

remmeber: its an old video, dont send the post to answer

[@booshting3520]

No, definitely all send mail

[@diegoferreira5330]

1: ... the first single, which is Killing Floor, right? 2: Yeah... there is no single...

[@marekvodicka]

2:54 Iron Maiden could have never made Chemical Wedding, it's way too dark for them. And that's good.

[@SomewhereInTheMaidenverse]

I agree. As a band, they aren't that dark.

[@highlanderlambert5688]

U cant compare this to anything with maiden

[@Diego29265]

a big hug from Brasil!! haha

[@ericamariana4643]

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[@javila6341]

Chemical Wedding is a very Dark album..finding out Bruce Dickinson got inspired by Aleister Crowley made all the sense in the world since Crowley is the Father of Ocultism and esoteric practices =Black Magic

[@belsinhaeu]

Love bruce, but what weird shirt... It seems like he have taked borrow from his wife :)

[@emankcin1701]

Looks similar to the shirt he used during the World Slavery Tour.

[@ville85]

Looks like one of those fencing shirts that he had.

[@Elnont]

Lmao Bruce is great but he *never* had good fashion taste.

[@lucasragequit]

Bruce com a roupa Fear Tour 1992 haha

[@saintghost]

iron maiden without bruce and bruce without iron maiden are nothing. they match eachother. this is their "curse". "curse" of succes

[@tryingggg1251]

agreed. di’anno was great but it was bruce that got them to the top of the heavy metal world. when he left there was a clear decline

[@deathofsteel7081]

Actually Bruce's "Accident of Birth" and "The Chemical Wedding" albums were incredible and recieved great rewiews. They were MUCH BETTER than Iron Maiden's two albums from that same time.

[@saintghost]

@@deathofsteel7081 this is true.

[@saintghost]

@Cristiano dos Santos Gomes soon or later bruce would need iron maiden.
