  • Bruce Dickinson's very first recording. The song was recorded in 1977. Not too bad of a song for a first song from one of the best singers on earth!

    It's cool to hear a 19 year old Bruce Dickinson's very first studio recording. You can clearly hear, that he already had an incredible voice here! And now he's the greatest vocalist of all time in the greatest heavy metal band of all time!!! Up the Irons!!! ⚒🤘🤘

      @@eddiethehead4791 I think that is false, because Bruce didn't meet the other band members of Speed before 1977. And they only did a few gigs in some pubs, before the band split up. Although I read somewhere that Bruce recorded the song with Speed in 1980, when Bruce had already joined Samson. But I don't know if it's true.

    Right. 1979 was the last year of Shots. Bruce recorded the track in 1977 while still in Speed but joined them definitely in middle 1978, i think. Although only Dracula surfaced from Bruce's vaults, it's firmly believed that Shots recorded 2 tracks for this session...

  • @revickulous2001
    @revickulous2001 Před 13 lety +1

    @stephluvslayne It was 77. He recorded this with a band called Shots that hadn't actually been formed yet. After doing this recording, he joined the band and played small time until he finished college. After finishing college, he joined Samson. Iron Maiden heard him when he played the Reading festival with Samson. After Di'Anno was booted from Maiden for drug abuse, Bruce was asked to join due to this.

    Contrary to popular belief, this is not the earliest recording of Bruce singing in existence. It is however, the first publicly released recording of Bruce when he was in a band called Shots, released as a limited pressing single in the London area in 1977. The earliest known recording of Bruce is with a band called Speed of a song called Man In The Street from a demo tape recorded in 1976 and released in limited numbers in 1980 in the London club circuit.

    Waiting for the midnight hour (x6)
    My name is
    Dracula, Come here, I've something for you
    Dracula, I need a little life
    Dracula, And you are gonna be my wife
    Walking through the town when the streets are bare in the night
    Shadows everywhere, are you sure it's a trick of the light?
    Fear is at your heal but you kick it away,
    you're so sure theres nothing behind you
    Thats a mistake you can make just one time
    I bet you thought that I was a ficticous guy from the movie screen
    Now its far too late for you to break this date, you missed your chance to scream
    My only sense of humor's in a jugular vein
    and your neck is on the menu tonight
    Soon you will know what it's like to be mine
    My name is
    Dracula, Come here, I've something for you
    Dracula, I need a little life
    Dracula, And you are gonna be my wife
    As long as you live
    The Bride of Dracula
    (x3)
    As long as you live you'll be
    Waiting, waiting for the midnight hour (x8)
