This is one of the best albums ever released. You’d be good to just listen to the whole thing beginning to end.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I plan to!

[@alexandremaireno-ni4ec]

Along with its predecessor, this album spawned the return of Bruce and Adrian to Iron Maiden, since they were SO MUCH better than the albums IM released at the same time

[@gabrielkain1]

Bruce could literally sing about tax reform, and it would be badass. He just has one of those voices that is always on point. Grew up with Iron Maiden, and he is iconic. Great song.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

HAHHA I love his voice!

[@Arkryal]

Hell Yeah he could. 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵 Hide your gains, or lose the Claim, It's Preparation Season. These W2's are a golden noose When there's no deduction Reason. ... Two Minutes to Deadline The window closes soon Two Minutes to Deadline Or late filing costs balloon... 🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

Yes!! I think millions of people can recognise Bruce Dickinson's voice in less than one second. He's absolutely unique. A legend!

[@ThisICommand666]

The best album Bruce ever put out. Doesn't matter if you include his Maiden work, Chemical Wedding still wins.

[@danw4490]

Chemical Wedding is my favorite album. It will blow your mind.

[@sentenced03]

Always loved this song. Great album too.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I'm gonna dive in!

[@Arkryal]

Here's a fun fact (or maybe it's apocryphal, but I've heard it so many times, it's probably true, lol)... The backing band for this album were members of "Tribe of Gypsies", a local L.A. Band. Roy Z, from Tribe of gypsies was recording in the same studio, but was not satisfied with the demo they had recorded, and didn't want it to be heard by anyone, telling his sound engineer to bury it until he had a chance to re-record some parts. So Roy walks in later at night to see if he could "fix" it, and there's Bruce at the desk, browsing some of the local talent, listening to their demo, and he thought it was awesome. That chance encounter kicked off a long collaboration, co-writing, co-producing. Tribe opened for Bruce on his Japan tour. Don't get hung up on things being perfect. If it sounds good enough to the right people, success follows from there. Regarding the song and album content. The artwork is a painting by Wiliam Blake, whose poetry is also featured in some of the songs. The "Chemical Wedding" is an alchemical term for the synthesis of the philosopher's stone, which could transmute lesser materials into gold. This material "purification" was also thought to purify people, redeem the damned and make them holy. If alchemists found the formula, they could create Heven on earth, ridding it of evil, disease, death, famine, etc. Now, if you want to go off the deep end with Bruce, I'd recommend "Ballad of Mutt", and "I'm in a Band with an Italian Drummer". Just him fucking around when recording, fun songs, not to be taken seriously.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

dude thank you so much for the insight and info! I plan on checking out more for sure!

[@wolverine669]

I remember hearing this when the album came out and it was just amazing album. You need to hear "Tears Of The Dragon"

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

You got it!

[@danw4490]

My favorite song.

[@koalgehtdenixa8290]

Fun Fact...The Guitar was played with Bass Strings...awesome idea

[@malabaristaprod]

This album is gold !!

[@johnmcclane6105]

Accident of Birth and The Chemical Wedding. I've listened to both albums thousands of times since the nineties, and they never got boring.

[@danw4490]

2 of my favorite albums, ever.

[@nanns77]

Bruce solo's stuff is great, dude. Thanks for reaction.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Yea this was amazing!

[@Exhumed.Consumed]

Listening to this song for 22 years, never heard the Phantom of the Opera similarity, now I won’t be able to unhear it. I really enjoy most of Bruce’s solo work. “Tears of the Dragon” is mandatory, but “The Alchemist” is a good follow up to this song.

[@charlstsi222]

The album cover is a painting by William Blake. The album is structured around the art and poetry of William Blake. Listen to it as a whole.

[@twiedenfeld]

The Ghost of a Flea

[@robinsongrilli7227]

The whole album is a masterpiece. BTW, Book of Thel is the best song of the album by far.

[@Gustavo-ew7om]

Accident of birth with Adrian Smith

[@DanTheSqueegeeMan]

I love Iron Maiden, but I never listened to any solo works or side projects from the band. This was different, but awesome. His voice is just something else...

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

yea this was amazing!

[@cr1s1s0ff41th]

chemical wedding is so awesome! you'd do yourself a favour to listen to more of bruces solo career! :) especially late 90's

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

SOOO GOOD!

[@chilliwilliams2525]

Watched him on the Hellfest live stream, he played this too , it was a great gig

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Dude I gotta hear more.

[@WNYretiree]

What a great song!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I'm so glad you like this!

[@Croz76]

Dude I haven't listened to this album in a minute, thanks to the Patron who suggested it! Bruce is truly one of my favorite Metal singers! I'll get to an Iron Maiden request one of these days. Up the Irons!! 🤘🤘

[@ChrisDicksonOhio]

This album is a masterpiece.. Dive in

[@YerkoCornejo-fd4kv]

Temazoooooo

[@VivezMarcos]

suggestion from a Brazilian... listen to "screen for me Brazil" this song, tears of dragon and the tower is fantastic.

[@BrazenTongue-tl5ce]

Good idea checking this album out man. Amazing album all the way through. Most of his solo shit is insanely good. Better than a lot of Maiden

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN"T REALIZE WHO IT WAS AT FIRST LOL

[@BrazenTongue-tl5ce]

@@TheWolffAndTheMelody LOL well now you know! After Chemical Wedding listen to Accident of Birth. Both albums are amazingly good. Great lyrics and riffs/solos are top notch.

[@alexgram1276]

Last great album from Maiden/Bruce in general

[@Calumetto]

This song, It is sweet. Man, he still can compete -- even now in an older man’s clothes. Da, da-da, ditty daa... Da, dum. (-; ••• RAW! MAN!! Noodles!!!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Hell yea!

[@azgast]

One of my favourite albums ever, but this is not the song I would choose as a first dive. Try The Tower, Book of Thel, Jerusalem or The Alchemist instead. Or the whole album.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

hell yea! Will check out more.

[@tox9427]

Great song, the refrain is on another level. It's remarkable how good Dickinson's solo material is compared to Iron Maiden at the respective time, except Brave New Word.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I gotta hear it!

[@JD.Knight]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gISyZ5Son5ejqJYsi=wTOQtMwb-_Sp5jfd Heres a live version from 3 days ago. I cant comprehend how good he is still! Livong legend. Love to see your reaction to it, or just let me know what you think

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Im gonna have ti see some live!
