Airline pilot, pro fencer, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, Heavy Metal singer.... This guy is a true renaissance man
Ken T don't forget defeater of cancer !
A modern day warrior. I don't know why he hasn't been knighted by the Queen yet.
be3cause queen is an asshole who gets the highest benefit in the country
He's also an historian and has license to pilot submarines.
Yep, you could also call him a polymath. He'll always be known, first and foremost though, as the lead singer for Iron Maiden. With the possible excepton of RJD or Rob Halford I can't think of any better metal singer.
The Rock and Roll hall of fame is a joke, why are legends like Iron Maiden not in there? They're one of the greatest metal bands ever... I'm glad to see them on the Nova Rock in austria.
Agreed they defenitely need to be in there. Same with Judas Priest.
Sathanas they didn't make Hollywood Jews enough money I guess
No iron maiden, judas priest, or Dio they lost credibility a long time ago
Rice Waster Aleks I hope you're joking because if not, you obviously have no clue what you're talking about. Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Dio inspired so many bands from today... they're legends!
I meant the hall of fame lost credibility a long time ago because those bands aren't in there
I see Bruce I click
I see Gruhamed and regret clicking
same 4me lol
Priest Steel we all do.
xD
Me too!
I'm watching this at... TWO... MINUTES... TO... MIDDDDD...NIGHT!!!
To kill.... the unborn in the womb!!!
Freakin liberals...
@@bellmeisterful freaking libtards
ha....good one.😏
Sadly, that's the world we live in. I always particularly appreciated Maiden's social commentary and peaceful inner children.
John Doe i was born 2 minutes to midnight😎
A 19.5 minute video of Bruce Dickinson describing his time in Iron Maiden? Thank You Loudwire!! 🙂
UP THE IRONS!!!! 🤘
Loud wire is so good to us. They get some of the most famous people in rock & metal history
I highly recommend the Audiobook of "What Does This Button Do?" BD narration/reading of it is absolutely hysterical.
A published author, a world class fencer, the lead singer and a songwriter in one of the most successful bands in modern music history, he beat throat cancer, he pilots a 747, flying Iron Maiden around the world and he speaks in a calm, friendly,intelligent, considerate, articulate manner when interviewed. Any single accomplishment of his would make anyone else an overall success in life. Bruce is a very unique person to say the least. Unstoppable and a model of achievement for anyone. I hope he lives past 100!Cheers Bruce!
Andy Montalvo
I agree. At the rate he's going, he may just be immortal and live forever! Bruce is phenomenal!!
and he's a graduate in history and a doctor in music too
@@Floppy_Bacon sadly no, we all die, its a bummer
Very good speech! Perfectly sums Bruce up.
I expect a person who achieved all this to talk like that. Cannot imagine anyone who achieved this and talks like a gangsta rapper.
I like how happy the interviewer looks to be interviewing Bruce. Good on him! I was lucky enough to have him sitting opposite me at my university graduation a few years ago, as he collected an honorary doctorate. I gave him the metal horns...
Hell yeah hes happy. Bruce is THE greatest to ever sit with him.
Lol, I love it. Did he respond in any way?
Hearing one of the greatest heavy metal singers of all time, talk about Ronnie James Dio, saying how he's such a great singer...amazing.
Just listened to last in line right before this 😃
Bruce Dickinson is amazing, Up the Irons:).
Justin jimenez he is the best
J
I'm a simple guy. I see Bruce Dickinson, I click like
Man after my own heart. ;)
I am a girl,but I did the same thing ;-):-)
Actually, he is so simple he uses the same suit for almost all interview
you use this same saying on every post I see you on
Snake Plissken...I heard of you...I heard you were dead...…..Escape from New York...………….\\m//
The man is a living legend.
100% agreed.
fuck
Yes he is, BRUCE !! Sir ....what a masculin type of man ... the air raid siren, british, voice.....
Hey guys look
Greatest frontman of all time 🎤
Vinayak Shivhare true
So true
Verdade verdadeira.🤘
Yup
Definitely best metal front man! Loved Maiden since 1981 and got to see them this past June at the first Gig on the US leg and took my son with me. Was such an amazing night to head bang with my son to my favorite Metal band!
Paul Di'Anno was definitely the best frontman of all time when he was in Iron Maiden. He had a charisma and stage presence that only Elvis Presley could match.
6:54 AND, as good writers/producers know, the first part of anything and the last part are what people remember most and the first is most important as it's the HOOK, the first thing they hear so you want that to be just amazing and the first line of Heaven and Hell.... Ronnie sings that so great and probably true that he had to do it a few times to please the producer who knew it needed to be gold or you wouldn't be happy with it 20 years later.
Didn’t expect to see you here! I love your channel!
How has Bruce not been Knighted already? The man is a Legend along with the rest of the Band.
Jimmy Savile got knighted. If they dont knight you it's maybe a good sign
Amen to that. Petition it, It will come.
King Charles will do it .....(no, HE will not do, I Know, I am a son of Navigator) & I am sad that Bruce and all the IRONS will never get the honour, like Genesis/Rolling Stones/Phil Collins... etc
@@Alltypz King Charles may do it , Sir >Bruce Dickinson ( I hope and pray)
Everything about him screams anti the whole honours system!
I don't even have to watch the whole video to know his life in Iron Maiden: Legend
You could say that about any hard rock musician, what about John Bonham, Keith Moon, Lemmy, Phil the animal Taylor andthe list goes on.
Those aren't living legends
Usually, the worst thing a Legend can do is NOT die (take for instance EVH)
Bruce seems to be the only one who's respect has grown over the years
Seeing Bruce sat down chatting to someone shows just how intelligent he really is. I've read the book and followed some of his various accomplishments, but having him talk about this stuff shows how smart he is. This guy really has lived
It can never be overstated how incredibly talented this guy is. Maiden was good before Bruce, but when he joined they became a global band that very few can compete with. The real Big 4 should be Sabbath, Priest, Maiden and Motorhead. Those are the true legends that started it all and made Metal what it is.
The man can also fly a 747 for fucks sake!!
Bruce is a very talented man. The guy does so many things and does them very passionately. How many so called Rock Stars can do what Bruce has accomplished? Just impressive as hell.
timm441 the big 4 is thrash thats whyz
I’d go with Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica & Pantera for big four but to each his own. Honorable mentions to Tool. Those five set the bar and changed metal more than any other bands as far as I’m concerned. Slayer and Testament are no slouches either🤘
Ah shit you’re totally right about Sabbath though. Fucking started all that madness. 4 isn’t enough spots for that list haha
Happy 60th birthday, Bruce Dickinson!!!
I just turned 57 in January, so we both have at least one thing in common, we've both been around since the Stone age.....lol!
Time for Wikipedia fact or fanfiction 🤘
There isn’t going to be one. I commented on a photo Loudwire posted on Instagram that had both Graham and Bruce Dickinson in it, asking if there’s gonna be a Wikipedia fact or fiction with Bruce and Loudwire replayed back to me saying that there isn’t going to be a Wikipedia fact or fiction with him.
y tho?
Dead Probably because Bruce would rather you buy his Autobiography! 👍
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Martin (the producer of the Number of The Beast album) sadly passed away in August 2020, he was 71. R.I.P
Very SAD
I like his socks.
For sure! I like his jacket too!
BodaciousWickerman he got both from primark
Daz Crow Thanks. I might see if I can get one! How'd you know?
Even the pink shirt looks good on him.
Daz Crow Lmao I didn't expect him wearing some Primark stuff !
RIP Clive Burr (former IM drummer).
There are bands that became immortal for their front man.
Led Zeppelin= R Plant
Credence= J Fogerty
Doors= J Morison
Journey= S Perry
Black Sabath= Ozzy/Dio
Iron Maiden= B Dickinson
Just by hearing the voice , you knew the band, its that simple.
Also
Queen= Freddie Mercury
Aerosmith= Steven Tyler
Guns n Roses = Axl Rose
And:
Police = Sting
Pumpkins = Corgan
I remember during the book of souls tour, Bruce kept yelling at the crowd to put their phones down and enjoy the moment. When a bunch of people in the front didn't listen, he stopped the band from playing briefly and scolded the concert goers lol 😆 Such a legend
yeah i mean, they're there to give you an awesome time, why would you show the disrespect and be on your phone?
Bruce is now much more handsome than when he was young. Then his face was very bloated and looked like chimpanzee. At this age he is very charming and well maintained!!!
😂😂...like a Chimpanzee!!! I understand you!!! He is one of the greatest voice ir all time!! Longe live Bruce!!
One of the greatest vocals of all time
He's a healthy guy despite his early injuries, the whole band is in fact, always running about on stage. And as good now as they were years ago.
He’s fanboying the entire time lol
I very much like Bruce... doesn't come across like a big 'rock star'. Just a decent, down to earth chap, despite who he is, his talents, and all he's achieved.
"You didn't need to have the tea leaves read to figure out what was going on" Love it!
Nice to see Bruce happy with life. ✌from across the pond in Utah.
Cheers from Riverton!
Cheers from Stephenville NL.
UT here as well! Santaquin
I've been a pro musician and a voice teacher for 2 decades and... THIS GUY IS THE MAN. What he does with his voice is even harder than you think it is. Thanks Bruce!!! \m/ \m/
Probably the best interview Graham has ever done. And he has done quit a bit.
"The purpose of growing into eldership is to stay healthy. By now, if you're of age, should be fortunately established with good finances. The rest is downhill. Keeping yourself healthy is the main objective because one doesn't want to live a life of pain/in pain. Right?"
Him and Dio are the best metal singers ever. It’s like metal opera. So epic...
Ralf Scheepers
Greatest metal singer of all time!
Sadly, the last time I saw Iron Maiden was on the Somewhere on Tour in either Dallas or Fort Worth, supporting, obviously the Somewhere in Time album. I still remember it being an excellent show. Good enough that I had to look it up to find out that the supporting act was Vinnie Vincent Invasion on both shows. I'm jealous too because I just looked it up and found out that a good portion of the European countries got W. A. S. P. for the support act. That's a show I definitely would have remembered.
Anyway, Bruce does great interviews, even though sometines he seems to stumble while looking for exactly the right word.
I'm really not sure why, but for some reason I had to hear Iron Maiden a few days ago, out of nowhere. Now I'm stuck in this TH-cam endless rabbit hole of Iron Maiden videos 😅😅😅
My first concert! 1982 Judas Priest/Iron Maiden. WE NEED MORE COW BELL!!!
I only have one thing to say: Thank you for All, Bruce. And thank you for the best Song ever: Flight of Icarus!!
Metal legends are more legendary than other legends
Santos L Halper so true
If it were not for LED ZEPPELIN BLACK SABBATH DEEP PURPLE, these bands paved the way for today's heavy metal, ZEP VOL2 caused King Diamond to make music, Black ice acdc one of the tracks uses the KASHMIR rift to start it off.
🤘🤘🤘
Over the years I’ve grown to admire Bruce Dickinson more for the person he is rather than just as the incredible singer for Iron Maiden.
I mean the dude flies commercial jets as a side job. He’s just an inspirational human being.
He is quite attractive, sexy and he speaks well. He's aged quite well too. Iron Maiden is one of my favourite bands of all time! Keep banging! x
I am 34 years old and i was 16 when i went to rock in rio 2001. I WAS THERE singin fear of the dark and it was my first maiden show, the arena was 13km away from my house.
So imagine a teenager, at the peak iof being metal and maiden fan seeing them for first time in a FUCKING ROCK IN RIO 3 2001 BRAVE NEW WORLD TOUR.
THAT WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
Seen iron maiden in 83 still listening I'm 54
I saw Iron Maiden last year on September third in Vancouver B.C and it was mint. Also it was my first ever concert.
Bruce you’re a legend come to Dallas again
We had the cops called on us at a party singing Run To The Hills at 3 am.Apparently neighbours didn't appreciate our drunken rowdy vocals:)Trying to sleep...pssssh old people.
perhaps the greatest British band of any genre
Up the Irons!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thank you Loudwire for this video.
If I see Bruce Dickinson, I click. Simple. Now Bruce is royalty, you couldn’t have given him a comfortable chair to sit in???Jeez.
You do realise that Steve Harris is the true brain behind Iron Maiden? He and Nicko wrote the majority of the songs especially in the 80's. Bruce get a LOT of credit, they all do. But Steve should be the royalty.
Paul Freedman Its true that Steve Harris is the brain and the driving force behind the Maiden machine, I just mean that Bruce is heavy metal/music royalty. I think we can both agree on that :-)
True dat.
Paul Freedman look, every maiden fan knows that harris is the main song writer. Im the biggest fan there is, just look at my name. But bruce single handedly skyrocketed maiden to what we now know as the greatest heavy metal band of all time. Maiden is the only band to truly stand the test of time along with judas priest and the god father of heavy metal rob halford.
True, but what is that worth without the song writing of Harris.
Bruce Dickinson has the same thought process as I do, I don`t remember names, dates, and numbers either, it\ s about emotions, what something felt like, smelt like, sounded like etc..
I remember smells from the 5th grade at certain events, but I`ll be fucked if i could remember any numbers, lol..
Agree :)
Likewise:)))
I have the autographed version of his book...read it cover 2 cover...loved it...not what i thought from a heavy metal rock star...i will say bruce is a "jack of all trades....and master of them all" piece of mind was my 80s anthem..wore my cassette out...this book was a long time coming...glad its in my home library. Thanks for the memories bruce.
"Where Eagles Dare" THE BEST
Final frontier is the best song
Lisa Scarrott that’s completely subjective. It’s not an argument, it’s just old mate’s opinion. 🤦🏻
No.....
it's the best
(Where Eagles Dare)
simple fact, haha ; )
"In Germany, nobody would push a button if they didn't know what it did" So true! :-) Excellent interview, a must see!
Great interview! Bruce being Bruce and the Interviewer did a good job. He came across as knowledgeable of the subject unlike some others I’ve seen. Kudos!
For the first time in my life I’ve never seen no negative comments in a TH-cam video !!!
Joey Azhang me too..!!
Obviously. No one can hate a person like Bruce
*Any*..not no
He's wearing a Flanders fields poppy pin commemorating the 100th Anniversary of WW1. But of course, he has to "tell the world of Passchendaele."
@ukkowalski same as in Canada. Whole Foods (an American company with stores in Canada) tried to ban their employees from wearing the poppy this year and that didn't go over well.
The interviewer did a pretty good job. Very professional!
Me gusta mucho como mediante va avanzando la entrevista el entrevistador se va ganando el respeto de alguien tan inteligente como bruce... Bien por eso
My brothers ex girlfriends uncle is the drummer in iron maiden, I used to have a close relationship with her as a child and she got me into metal when she brought home the 2001 rock in Rio DVD
He's now a born again Christian, right?
"I'm bruce Dickinson, yes, THE Bruce Dickinson!"
Bruce Dickinson my favourite heavy metal singer 🤘
Graham is hands down one of the best interviewers I have seen. He is a great listener and never interrupts his guests. He never tries to steal the show by trying to match wits with those he interviews.
As far as Bruce Dickinson, the man is a legend. What a career!
He's very polite. Maybe a bit rigid so the rapport is not quite there to begin with. Usually with these things you're not seeing the folks watching behind camera such as various PRs, folks from the label, loudwire etc which can make it quite artificial and stressful for the interviewer. In a previous life I was a music journalist and I had a love / hate relationship with interviews.
I was thinking exactly the same, and do his homework before the interviews thats why he make clever questions and listen the answers even thou he would probably knows what the answers are going to be.
It honestly amazes me how he can still sing as good as he used to...especially since he had throat cancer 👏👏👏👏
Well he did spot it early.
Even though it might feel monotonous and repetitive to do all the tours, I hope Bruce knows how much each event means to us. I have had the privilege to see Iron Maiden one time this year in Charlotte and I have to say it is the best concert I have been to. You are changing lives and making memories and you should feel proud of it. I know fans can be crazy 😝. But it’s all (mostly) our adoration of all of the work put in by the band, the producers, the set designers, and all the people who form fundamental parts that make the shows absolutely outstanding. Thank you Bruce and thank you Iron Maiden for being the best band in the world.
Been going to Maiden since 1987. Going to Freiburg, Germany and Zürich in 2018. Taking my 10 year old son to Freiburg. Up the Irons forever!
lasserchris
I saw them in Nottingham UK last year and itade me so happy to see parents there with their kids. Passing on great music to the younger generations is essential.
Bruce is an amazing person and the reason maiden are still with us, because if he hadn't returned and maiden would have continued with blaze then its RIP
Goin to see em next july. Up the irons!
Land Shark Gelredome?
Bruce Dickinson! One of the best singers ever! Up the Irons!
Guy looks great! What an amazing career and life.
Graham’s seems like he’s in the presence of the creator of the universe lol love how humble and respectful he is though! Love you Graham!
Brennan Dalgleish And you are commenting like he is not in the presence of the creator of the universe...
GodXeria for me the “creator of the universe” would be either Steve Albini (produced Neurosis, fav band of all time) or Chuck Schuldiner (vocalist/guitarist of Death). And also, I’ve never quite been a huge Maiden fan, more on the Priest side myself.
But hey, here’s to the future of metal!
Cheers!
everyone have their own opinions, but yeah \m/
GodXeria don't be fucking ridiculous
Bruce.A living legend in a legendary band.UP THE IRONS TROOPERS\m/!!!
Graham is a great interviewer. He fanboys, but not in a distracting way lol
Iron maiden and Motley Crue were my 2 favorites in the 80's. Without Bruce, it is not iron maiden!
He's a very down-to-earth classy Bloke! 🖤Maiden!!🤘🤘
Iron Maiden is a way of life, Iron Maiden is religion, Iron Maiden is power!!
so is Justin Bieber
maidenHELL
Yeeeaaahhhh......last couple of albums? Not so much.....still fucking rule live though!!!
Danny H yeeeeaaaaahhhh... NOOOOO!!!!!
So many years now and I still can't believe how long he held that sands if time for me are running looooooooooooooooow part damn 12 seconds
That was an amazing interview. Great work. :) Also-Bruce called your question 'poignant'. That's so fucking cool.
He's an absolute legend. His message is clear; live life to the fullest and use it's full potential.
Up the irons
I SAW IRON MAIDEN LAST NIGHT !!!
Up The Irons! Greetings from Louisianna.
Up The Irons!
Greetings back,from Tennessee!
Jimmy Gray when and where is Bruces bio available
Up the irons from Arkansas
kmsharley75 I used to live in Tennessee. Very great place.
Unfortunately, I don't think Iron Maiden hasn't performed in LA since August 2 1988. I hope they perform at Mardi Gras! I assumed you had to travel to TX to see them.
He is definitely in my Top 10. My list is 1.Geoff Tate -Rob Halford.DIO ,MIDNIGHT.JON OLIVA .RAY ALDER
2.
Yeah!! Ray Alder.
Lmao.... Halford....
what a life this man Bruce has lived
What's with the weird feedback effect on the mics? Its like a weird reverb effect
I don't want this conversation to end. Bruce is such amazing person.
Got my tickets for Sept. in Sacramento.... never been a big fan but my respect has grown for this band and vocalist. I remember when I used to play Number of the Beast on my radio show (college) back in '83... tingles up and down my spine. The fact that Mr Dickinson is for Brexit even makes him more great
The best band ever and always a pleasure to listen to him.
Long live the king Bruce! Dickinson the first and only! Great man and person!!
Great interview thanks.
His charm and honesty harks back to the preceding gents of english rock, like Steve Winwood or Chris Squire.
I like Graham's interviews
I love Bruce and Maiden but I am here to say that book SUCKS. Absolutely sucks. Worst rock book I've ever read. I bought it right away and really wanted to love it. So disappointing. He divulges literally nothing that any casual fan of Maiden didn't already know. It just rushes through the timeline of the bands history with very little detail. And what detail there is isnt very interesting. Impossible for me to believe that THIS guy, with all his achievements, intelligence, skill and his amazing life, can be that uninteresting.
Number of the beast, my favorite album. I remember, 1981. But, we all get turned on to Maiden with an album, then that's our favorite for always. That's the beauty of Maiden they keep going and pick up fans along the way. Well, and the fact they stay like Maiden and don't sell out. And they are HUGE!
britain socks hahaha
We call them: the union jack. 🇬🇧
@@deborahrogers5054 It`s only called a Union Jack if it`s on a boat.
I don't blame this Graham dude for having a smile on his face the whole interview. True Legend.
I'd have to agree with the critics-
Bruce is a faceless name in rock, no one would know him anywhere because he's not an original artist, just another voice screaming in the pot of metal anybodies~
Thanks to Loudwire and Bruce for doing this interview. I believe that all of us in our lives we have a “fear of the dark” but have to “push that button” in order to grow. Your comments are very thoughtful and you’re very articulate.
I got introduced to Maiden in my teens and I’m still listening in my 40’s and Powerslave solos still earn me speeding tickets.
Thank you Bruce and Iron Maiden for always bringing a smile on mine and I believe ALL our faces! Up the Irons!!🤘
i love all these rock stars ,i hope we all go to heaven and interact, mental and physical breakdowns prevented me from progressing as a musician, these musicians are a great inspiration to keep going , in spite of difficulties in life.!
Bruce, sign me breast!
Always so professional interviews. I'm a huge fan of Loudwire.
