I worked for iron maiden for about 12yrs starting in the early 90s. He is the most intelligent and genui e guy. What u see in this interview is Bruce all of the time. He's on 11 always. When he says he gets I to something learns it then moves on to the next is so true. I remember when he was starting to learn to fly. When he came in the office he would tell us everything about planes. How the aerodynamics work, the mechanics, absolutely everything, whether u wanted to listen or not!! Great guy.

I'm a year younger than dear Bruce. What a great down to earth guy. I did 2 small time support act gigs with him and other bands like Angelwitch, Praying Mantis,etc in 77/78. He made it. I didnt 😂 Although his musical influences are close to mine, I wasn't really a Maiden fan, greatly entertaining as they were live. He has an active, inquisitive mind and a good sense of humour and about the realities of modern life. I particularly enjoyed his approach about ego/ post gig routine. An excellent insight of an interview and well done to all.

[@zubinmetalfan]

I always felt Bruce was something else. Been listening to maiden since 1988, but I never knew how much. Got to love the man, He's amazing. Thanks for putting this up

[@STAND-ALONE]

Bruce does not even believe in God,. He calls Christianity a folklore which is absolutely wrong by Bruce. I don't even know how the band is still together because Nicko McBrain is a born-again. Christian,.. how he puts up with some of iron maiden's nonsensical lost lyrics. I have no idea.

So inspirational.... two day ago I saw his performance in Poland with Iron Maiden... And in his age he just blown my mind. What an energy and spirit! I am happy that I was able to see his performance on my own eyes and ears!

What about Rob Halford?

[@efogg3]

@@bryancalle3087 What about him?

[@lightdancedesigns]

@@bryancalle3087 I adore Rob (and Priest) but he's not explored so many diverse areas. He's stuck in music. Bruce... airline captain, CEO and found of aviation company (Caerdav), champion fencer, corporate speaker, radio broadcaster, etc., etc., etc. Rob's only claim to fame is his self-professed, "Metal God" status. Uhhhh? That's it? And isn't that a bit pretentious? Again, I like Rob but... he's one-dimensional where Bruce is 3-dimensional.

[@mihirmaiden18]

" caught somewhere in time" Bruce wore a vest that had these lights protruding from it, it was like 3D. .. I was around 10 or 11 at the time. .. I remember Eddie popping out, it was like seeing the album cover come alive .. . An experience I won't forget. .. Thanks guys! !! guys. ..

I'm a little late to the party, but I saw Iron Maiden with the giant Eddy in 1980 or 81 in Portland, OR. They were touring with Girl School and the Scorpions. It was great!

[@eduleal]

Brilliant, both interviewees are great storytellers. And Bruce’s Dio impression has got to be worth some money!

I love Bruce! I’ve been listening to IRON MAIDEN since the Piece of Mind album. When I heard Flight of Icarus in the early 1980’s I was blown away and became an instant fan. My favorite band of all time.

My husband and I had Iron Maiden played in church when we got married as we signed the register. Vicar said 'Don't blame me, blame the bride' as Wasting Love nearly shook the poor speakers off the church walls. I had wanted to walk down the aisle to Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter but the vicar said no lol.

[@morktra]

Always loved and looked up to Bruce. Great interview.

[@biorythmicshifter]

The greatest front man in the greatest band in human history in my opinion. There is none greater. Bruce was like a superhero to me when I was a kid. I remember hearing the intro to Murder in the Rue Morgue for the first time, that atmosphere created with the harmonics and eerie clean guitar chording scared the living shit out of me for some reason. It encapsulated the mood the cover had. When Bruce showed up it was a fucking spiritual awakening for me, never before had I heard such a powerful voice. The music from the band was always powerful but adding his voice turned them into a force of nature. Nothing can stop it as their legacy shows…

[@vaekkriinhart4347]

yeah, I only kinda liked Killers, but when Bruce joined , it took them to a new level, and Number of the Beast made me want to follow them.. Piece of Mind sealed the deal

[@ricksherman34]

That's awesome how much care he puts into telling us his stories.... Thx Bruce. Love the new album too. Writing on the Wall is an awesome tune.

For a 9 year old kid in the 1980s, the discovery of Iron Maiden was like having a set of the coolest possible action figures for the ears. That's what they did to me. XY years later, their Martin Birch produced albums (1980-1988) still do the same to me.
