But even when he had f**kin CANCER...he makes jokes about it
Truly an angel in human skin
he is even a history teacher
God, I love this man.
Martial Artist
He's a God!
He is what's known as a Polymath - which means he excels at more than one thing.
Bruce Dickinson: Mid 50's (at the time) Running around on stage with the energy of a caffeinated child... sings like a 20 year old Scandinavian Power Metal vocalist... flies a 747, the second largest airliner currently in production, on a regular basis... records an album with a caliber most bands can only DREAM of... gets cancer (THROAT cancer, even!) tells cancer to go FUCK ITSELF, and immediately goes back to work and tours the world... tied in with his musical prowess, genuine kind-hearted character, and a more than honorable level of humility, he might be one of the greatest and most inspirational human beings to walk this earth. Actually, no, not MIGHT be...he IS. If I could ever send a message to that man, I'd say just how grateful I am of his being. Bruce, thank you!
Jesse the whole things you said ,,,bravo I think same as you did say it
Wonder if he ever got over his fear of the dark?.. He had a constant fear of the dark remember?..
that's Bruce fucking Dickinson!
lol@Bruce fucking dickinson!
Watching him and Iron Maiden perform was a huge inspiration. I was sixteen and supposed to be grounded but I broke the rules to go see Iron Maiden. The way they performed and the energy of everyone there was one of the best things I've ever experienced
Bruce has so much energy. Such an intelligent man, a great showman too.
We agree! Such a pleasure having him in the studio.
Yeah I think Bruce's longevity as a "metal" singer as well as his mates "Steve Harris" particularly the trampoline-giver can be attributed to NO drugs for years and Harris' soccer playing. They are just a Healthy I-don't-care-what-you-think-we're-gonna-create-great-music band. They're not trying to be "Cool." They are cool because they are mature beings for decades.
Helen Hancock on top of that, he is a licenced pilot!!!
Yes indeed! He's on a rather wonderful health and safety video for flying!
"Edforce One" (Y)
Can't stop admiring him,he's such a humble human being
seriously ;(
When you are truly multi-talented, you cant help but being humble. Socrates was famous for saying he doesn't know anything. Its the realization that you don't know much after exploring much that makes you humble
just read his book. funny scary and personal indeed.
My neighbor interviewed him once apparently he was a dick
Ikr? He seems like an amazing person :)
So understand,
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years.
Face up....make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years.
Those lines make the hair on my arms stand up every time.
Me too. Is english your language?
[Verse 1]
From the coast of gold
Across the seven seas
I'm travellin' on
Far and wide
But now it seems
I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do
It isn't me but someone else
I close my eyes, and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is
You never miss it 'til it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will be 'til my dying day
[Chorus]
So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for
Those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize you're living in the golden years
[Verse 2]
Too much time on my hands
I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain, so easily
When you can't find the words to say
It's hard to make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky
Too much time on "your" hands.. J/K =^.^=
I would give you a heart-like if i could.
Such an optimist. He talks about cancer as if he got a cold.
Bruce is the kind of man that you want to become when you grow old.
I can listen to this man for hours
Lilla Sked get his audio book "what does this button do"
Then you can listen to him for 11hours. Its amazing.
JD Knight -- I'm in the middle of the audiobook. While I'm sure it's a great 'physical' read -- ho ... leee... sheet -- his narration/reading is hysterical. I couldn't imagine simply reading the book. Audio is HIGHLY recommended!
I have his book but I think I want to listen to the audio book
Bruce is truely an inspiration , please come back to Australia soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Cancer ain't gonna stop Bruce, he's a beast and a FUCKING LEGEND.
He will always have undefined adorable quality about him
I’m so happy he’s doing better...I remember getting the news about him having cancer...you immediately think he’s going to die......funny thing,I got diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer a couple of years after him...I’m still here...not planing on leaving this earth anytime soon
No you will not.
Hi noel sorry to hear that . Have you ever trusted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior ?
Keep eating healthy....biological fruits and veggies
Where is Bruce Dickensobs father ?
How are you now? I hope you are better 🥺
Throat cancer...and still sings like godThis man is not human!!
Come on,people,look at him.this man is human volcano,cancer had no chance to kill him
You're wrong sir, even gods looks up to Bruce Dickinson!
Paul was Punk.
Bruce is Allmighty!
Yes I agree, he's a God!
What a beautiful man.
top guy
Upenda Sana indeed
he used to be...
Upenda Sana pure inspiration for all of us
Handsome
legend, hero, what a voice and a humble and intelligent man
Bruce is a great person. It's always nice when you find that your music heroes are real life heroes. It's usually the opposite unfortunately.
This guy does the best interviews around .. Definitely in the parkinson style..Great stuff..He lets the guests speak.
Thank you so much for that!
Great man from great band!! Up the irons!!!
Up the irons from Greece!
Bruce is a great inspiration :)
he's so adorable i want to cry
Then cry 😢
3:46 Good Felix, that shows that you don´t know Iron Maiden.
Iron Maiden are probably among the healthiest rockband that has exist.
MR Thegreat back in the day it was pretty wild though
MR Thegreat heavy metal*
Joel nah only Dianno drank a lot
Lol have you seen any pics from the early 80s? Theres pictures of Bruce so drunk he can barely keep his eyes open lol. Nikko and another guy (the name escapes me), broke down Peter Framptons door because he wouldnt come out and party lol. Even Adrian admits that he ad-libbed alot of the solo in Powerslave because he was so hung over/drunk from the previous night lol. Maiden back in the 80s partied hard.
MR Thegreat. yea. all thro the 1980s 70 Maiden fans would fuck themselves up with drugs and alcohol I wish the band let fans know more than that they were into soccer and just beer
One of the best vocalists ever to live!! Up the irons! Iron Maiden Rocks !!💯
Bruce is a living a thousand lives in just one!!! Pure energy!!!
Bruce is just an amazing guy -Such a sweet personality, and the voice of an angel :)
Michael Holmgaard he's good but Robin Zander has a voice of an Angel
Bruce is like Alice Cooper, intelligent and very eloquent!
First time seeing him,sure is an intelligent man 💗👌
Can I please listen to Bruce 24/7. Such a great great great guy!
It is impossible not to love this man...
When you say ‘absolute badass’, you mean Bruce Dickinson!
Or Ronnie James dio or dimebag or Ozzy or tony or geezer or just any metal icon ever they all fucking rock
He is the Chuck Norris of Metal😉
What an inspiration Bruce Dickinson is and a lovely man.His book is a fantastic read...and not just for Iron Maiden fans.
Oh my you must hear the audio book read by him! It's GREAT!!
Bruce Dickinson is truly an inspiration to me. Not only is he a great vocalist for one of the greatest bands ever, but he took up fencing and was so good at it he was asked to do it for the olympics, learned to fly planes and brew beer. It seems like once this guy learns to do something, he's going to go all out and do it right. And he seems like a pretty chill guy as well.
Bruce Dickinson is quite possibly the most talented person ever to live.
UP UP THE IRONS!!!Long Live to Bruce and all the guys in the band,they´re amazing.
I JUST LOVE HOW BRUCE TELL STORIES
"I jump around like a lunatic, and, um... I'm 59..."
That energy is put to good use
SweetBabyJames78 nice profile picture haha
So glad the cancer did not beat Bruce. The throat of all places for a singer. Being in good health I am sure helped his healing process. Keep going Bruce, G.B.U
Still kicking ass and taking names in 2019, Up the Irons
Jesus, tough crowd 😂
Well done Bruce, the humour wasn’t lost on all of us.
Bruce aged considerably on the last 5 years, what reminds me of all the great artists and bands that are still around today in 2017 but will inevitably retire in the next 2 to 3 years. And the saddest thing: there will be no one to replace them.
Greta van Fleet, Kaleo, Avenged Sevenfold, Black Stone Cherry... give them a try.
I know them all. Hope they will stand the test of time.
Lion Phoenix why would they retire Bruce can still sing like he used to (sounds a Bit old on the high notes but still amazing) and the band can Keep up with the Speed. Mo Problems There.
They sell out Arenas Play huge Festivals and maybe even Stadiums and They have fun doing what they're doing.
And they still sound inspired and like they still have much to say and many Stories to tell if you Listen to the book of souls
I see no reason why they should retire maybe they'll quit doing huge World Tours cause they are exhausting but they wont retire in the near Future i think.
I want to age like him....!!
Eily Bergin lol wow....4 absolute SHIT bands. my condolences.
Bruce Dickinson and Freddie Mercury what showmen
And David Lee Roth, and Prince. Ever see Prince jump off a piano into a split? If anyone has video of that, please share. Of course injury led to drug use, which ultimately killed him.
Freddie...we miss him! :(
Bruce the God
Freddie the fabbot.
Yea,no.
@Rosida Andriyana And what is wrong with being "overrated"?
@Rosida Andriyana have u ever even heard him?
I liked Paul di'anno but when Bruce Dickinson came out on that first album he just blew me away
The man had a powerful voice.
Paul was Punk.
Bruce is Allmighty!
I like Paul, but honestly Bruce sets Maiden apart from all other metal bands
god bless bruce dickinson and iron maiden....for 35 yrs over im still playing song till now
Bruce is such an amazing person. It's hard to believe that one person can accomplish so much in life. I admire him greatly.
Watching old interviews you can see how that hyperactive energy has mellowed out in older years - he always comes across so well in interviews.
He is the best vocal❤️😁 Love this guy so much 😘
Bruce is absolutely right at 1:48, that's exactly what my voice teacher told me 28 yrs. ago. I never drank before or during a show. Warmed-up cooled-down(which a cool-down is probably just as important as a warm-up session)!! Young singers take note, if you don't do this correctly, you will sing for a very short time. I'm 50, and still hitting all the notes I did when I was 25!!
*I love this man, he's very incredible, his personality is amazing. He's seems like he's not from this world.
I admire him very much. And he's really handsome* ♡♡♡
I've always really admired Bruce. I'm glad he is healthy. He is such a positive force of energy. He looks better than a lot of much young rock stars, and he still fences, has pilot license, etc.
Love you Bruce
LEGEND! Pilot, Swordsman , Singer and Google Doctor!
bruce's hair , must be using rod stewarts hair dresser, but seriously bruce is the man, greatest front man ever
michael dacruz at least he has hair at 59
Well hes the singer in Iron maiden ,not going to have a short back and sides ,c,mon😉
God bless you BRUCE !
What a guy. A true legend and a proper gentleman. I had the pleasure of meeting him briefly on his book signing tour.
Up the Irons!!
Many years ago , back in the late '80's , my mother met him , and another band member in Barclays Bank , Friern Barnet .
Bruce is a living legend !
oh my god,Bruce is how old now? and still going strong. inspiring.
Best front man ever. Inspiring human being with a strong spirit. Thanks for teach us there are other ways to take serious usses. Love you Bruce. Scream for you. Up the Irons!!See you in October here in Argentina
Bruce is one a very small number of people whom i truly admire and respect...I think he is a wonderful person...He's always warm, intelligent, funny, insightful, measured and inspirational...that's to say nothing of his talent and the fact that he is so grounded.
im glad he didn't lose that awesome voice love you Bruce I spent most of all my life listening to your music love it
Bruce is amazing and such a great role model. I hope he continues to sing for a long time to come.
Kudos to the guys interviewing Bruce. They really made the conversation flow!
We're so glad to hear you think so, thanks for watching and commenting!
So this conversation has happened between a nurse and Bruce
Nurse: "you should keep at rest, don't sing too much yet or you might make it worse and you might need to completely relearn how to sing"
Bruce: "but that's great! I haven't had any lessons yet, and I might learn a thing or two. Where do I sign up?"
How can you stay humorous in such a situation?
Be British
Fascinating listening to a very well educated and brilliant singer.
Bruce is a class act. Great artist, thoughtful and sincere.
Long time fan, but seeing these interviews really is great to see how amazing Bruce is and his outlook on life. Great job.
Bruce Dickinson, amazing accomplished individual!! Brilliant vocalist and performer but equally brilliant human being!!
You can't not help but love Bruce Stay well Captain.
I like how Bruce references Leonard Cohen 🎙️
What a great person, good Lord keep him and his band safe
These are great interviewers. Friendly, courteous, funny, relevant, well-spoken.
Such an amazing man, always gives me a boost just listening to him!
Great questions by the interviewer. And even greater answers by Bruce.
VERLY WELL SPOKEN! So true as a vocalist I attest to EVERY single thing he said about singing and talking etc. I have stated the same thing many times but it is so refreshing to hear him say this. Validation!!
Bruce Dickinson was (and is) one of my first idols not only in music, but in art, merchandising, branding, etc.Awesome person.
Thanks for sharing the interview with Mr Bruce. Love his sense of humour. Glad he made a full recovery. Thanks for sharing your experience on different aspects Mr Bruce. See you in Sydney of your Speak Tour in October 2018.
Bruce has such good energy. Saw Maiden in the 80s and Bruce was outstanding!
Love you Bruce! Best singer ever!
He is the best singer of all time
Him and Freddie
A showman, a formidable singer, a fully fledged pilot. A talented man, and a man of many talents 👍
Not much to say, great guy! Reporter was a little bit pointy, but then, they're supposed to be. The world could use more of these amazing bards, with a love for story telling.
This person Bruce Dickinson took over a band allready established made the most historical music ever .Steve Harris is always made not only a band but he and everyone made a huge change to just life..still life Bruce when your live you know your not a pilot,your not an Author ,fencer,singer,songwriter your my friend for life
Icon and such a funny multitalent...one of a kind
Bless you Bruce!! Thanks for everything!!
Bruce is the best metal singers ever and the first metal album that I ever bought. "Piece Of Mind" FOREVER THE BEST
Its good to hear dat u hav recovered....the best vocalist eva...
Bruce is a fine chap! He seems to be as 'down to earth' as a rock legend / entrepreneur / pilot / just plain good dude can be. Much respect.
Interesting how he described Steve Harris as the "bass player" - it's his band!!!
Greetings from Brazil!
Fortaleza CE.
Bruce The best!
Bruce is a KING . . .
My favorite singer of all time
Bruce's Mr.Incredible. Lot of respect.
Greatest frontman and Greatest vocalist in heavy metal. The air raid siren himself, Bruce Dickinson.
I have just seen him with Maiden in Cracow . He is absolutely out of this world as a frontman ...what a voice , what a passion !
When i google ''headache'' it says ''brain cancer''...
Rosida Andriyana what are u talking about
it's not a tumor
If one Googles sore finger chances are the answer is cancer :)
@@flappynator1010 In this case though I'm sure glad the diagnosis lead him to treatment!
Well in Google's defence bad headaches could be a sign of brain cancer!
I respect him as an artist and as an intelligent well spoken bloke. He has always impressed me. My sons (ages 25 and 29) are also huge fans. All three of us have been to see Maiden at different times. We all can't wait for the next one.
I always enjoy listening to bruce, such a good character to listen to and a excellent singer/songwriter.
I had a trampoline growing up in the 70's. Still have a scar, but good times!
He’s like the international man of mystery. I look up to him because since birth this guy is pure positivity. Some people are just wired to succeed in life. He’s one of them. His mind never says “I can’t.”
Bruce is literally the hero in an action movie.
Bruce got a great sense of humor too
Bruce is a truly inspirational person, I am full of admiration for this guy.
Just him and Iron Maiden, all of those guys are high energy! Incredible show!!
