I'm with Bruce. No social media. Who needs it?
Oh, Yeah. UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!!🤘🤘🇬🇧🤘🤘👍👍
YT I need
Yeah. The only social media I'm on, is CZcams. But I'm only on CZcams, to listen to music and stuff like that. I've never been on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. It's just a complete waste of my time.
CZcams is considered a "social media" platform but yeah, far different than Facebook of Instagram and the likes. Nothing really wrong (per se) with social media it's the majority of the people that make it so crappy.
You’re on CZcams mate
agree
It’s great Bruce has brought his long hair back 😁😁
Yeah. Bruce looks so much better with long hair. Up the Irons! 🤘🤘
The fact that Steve Harris doesn't "jam" songs, goes into isolation, puts a lot of thought into writing, speaks volumes on why he's a Titan of a songwriter.
I certainly have a good time listening to the rest of the band's stuff, but Steve Harris writes the thinking man's music.
To be honest, he's written a lot of bad songs as well. I think if he collaborated more, the songs would be better.
I really feel that Iron Maiden suffers from any lack of Adrian and Bruce's writing input although obviously without Steve there is no Iron Maiden
Yeah. Steve honestly writes the best music in Maiden. Run to the Hills, Hallowed Be Thy Name, The Number of the Beast, The Trooper, Aces High, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, Fear of the Dark just to name a few are all written by Steve. And they're all masterpieces!
@@jms980 I concur with you 100% mate!!
@@jms980 I think history usually proves that collaborations usually make the best albums. I think that's why a lot of early albums from bands are the best stuff because they all generally live close to each other, get together and jam, and bounce ideas off each other. Later on they move apart from each other, stop jamming, and when it's time to make an album they all just show up with their songs already written, and that's when the mediocrity starts. I would never want to make an album that way.
So there is a chance to hear Empire of the clouds live? Please make it happen, at all costs!
Bruce said that we wants to play it live, but it will need to be like a stage play with actors and all of that.
Yes, that would be epic!
no thanks
He should get permission to use the part he took from Paul McCartney's Live and Let Die first.
Lol no bro please no
The ending of “Lost in a Lost World” may just be the saddest Maiden song ever and Bruce delivers with such passion and smoothness it gives me goosebumps every time. Another BRILLIANT album by Maiden, they just can do no wrong.
My favourite song from the album man!
@@rosslee1996 my 2nd favorite. I’m still so in love with the opener “Senjutsu”. The first time I heard it I knew this album was going to be special and be better than “Book of Souls”. That album kind of let me down. Like they were making long songs just to make long songs.
Great interview it’s good to see Bruce Dickinson is doing very well and healthy he’s a rock legend 🤘
One of the biggest ever !
Was*
He’s always been an awesome legend
Bruce is such a wonderful Character, lot's of charm and very funny with so much talent outside of Music!
Bruce is the presence and Vocalist of Iron Maiden,his solo albums are also outstanding King Bruce!
Scream for me ..Scream for me...............
I've seen Iron Maiden a few times 30 years apart from eachother and just amazed how Bruce Dickinson has not slowed down one iota in that time..
Bruce is such a great Englishman/Gentleman, and such a cool guy.
I could listen to him all day;-P
Up the mighty Irons!!!!
Bruce is incapable of doing a bad interview!! What a guy!!
I'm 40. I remember when you used to have to go out and spend money to buy an an album on a disc or tape rather than just listening to it for free on CZcams.
Yeah, actually making time to buy something that was worth getting off our butts and travelling to get.
Forget Superman, Bruce Dickinson is my hero!
Bruce really is a man of the fans.
We love you Bruce.
🇬🇧LONG LIVE IRON MAIDEN🇬🇧
🤘UP THE IRONS🤘
Now Bruce has me listening to Dio on "Butterfly Ball". Great stuff I've never heard before.
Can you tell what song he was telling about?
@@pablodarosa8429 Bruce says "Froggy's Song", but I think he meant, "Sitting in a Dream"
@@DanMcMullan I couldn't find any Froogy's song lol
@@DanMcMullan Man, I put that little fragment of lyric Bruce sang on google and it showed the music video of 'Love is All" wich is starred by a Frog playing a guitar to his frog fellas. Thik we got a Sherlock here.
@@pablodarosa8429 Going by what Bruce described as Dio's voice sounding like "glass", "Sitting in a Dream" fits that description. "Love is All" sounds more like Dio's rock voice we are familiar with.
Wish him a speedy recovery.
@@ohyeah5014 he got covid
I feel like in Bruce's case COVID should be more worried xD This man is way too tough
@@HandOfMetal Right? This man beat cancer so I'm pretty confident Bruce can get thru this.
I discovered Maiden in August 2000. I have worshipped the very ground they walk on since then. Owned every album studio or live they have ever released, including the Soundhouse Tapes.
There is nothing like them on this planet and this upcoming album so far, sounds like a mechanized battle tank, roaring thru the streets. Absolutely badass
Their music is awesome but you need a life brother
@@talalzahid2241 20 year electrician, top of my class in 2 different trade programs, husband of 10 years and father of 2. Id say i have " a life". Just because i am a devout fan of a band or a style of music doesnt make me less than a person. Try again
Bruce made the right choice of having no presence on any of the social media outlets for the reason he mentioned and I don't blame him for it.
Best move I ever made was coming off all those bullshit platforms.
UP THE IRONS🤘🏾🔥!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Bruce with long hair
Looks better without the scruffy beard he had recently.
I loved the short hair, black beanie and and Psych Ward shirt Bruce the best hahah
@@MetalMayhem1978 me too! I think it makes him look a lot younger 😀
@@martymartin2894 Yeah. Bruce looks best with long hair and without the scruffy beard! He looks like a real metal vocalist again. He looked like a schoolboy with short hair. Now he looks much better again! Up the Irons! 🤘🤘
I can't wait for Senjutsu.
Lol 1 minute in and homie went and got his tea 🤣 a real OG
Coffee it's pronounced coffee.
No homies or Gs in here. Not everything can be put in a hip hop context. 🤘
@@zap7026 oh no how tragic he used hip hop slang.
Nice joke jackass
I saw a Asian Lady wth same Face like Greedy wth Owl Nose n she pursuing Divorce,😁
There’s such a deep mastery of songwriting from each member. 40 years of songwriting experience is extraordinary especially considering these are classic members. There’s not too many bands, teams or organizations that have members that stay together that long working on a common goal. This is one of the primary reasons Iron Maiden are head and shoulders above the competition. In a grander sense I would consider Maiden to be one of humanities greatest storytellers. They captured my imagination since I was 11 years old and I still feel like that same kid at 46 yrs old when I listen to them. I still get that giddiness like a kid on Christmas morning when they release new material. Iron Maiden is religion in my house…up the Irons!!!!
I was in Monterey, Mexico and had just landed and I saw Iron Maiden's plane land it said Book of Souls on the side and had Eddie on the vertical tail wing. Plane was huge, I became an Iron Maiden fan that day.
Legend cant wait for the new album always enjoy listening to Bruce sing or talk keep rocking son
Bruce with Jethro Tull singing Revelations is one of my favourites.
Yes! Songs from the Wood is also my favorite. Heavy horses close second. Can't wait for Senjutsu
Heavy Horses is great!
I have a hard time picking one Tull album from the 70's, to be honest. Besides the ones you mentioned, Aqualung (obivously),Thick as a Brick, Warchild, Minstrel in the Gallery, Stormwatch... they're all great. So many great songs in all of them.
If you twisted my arm, I would probably be end up picking Warchild, mostly because it was the first of their albums I ever bought, and it was the one that really made me look at Tull with completely different eyes. Before then, I liked Aqualung and Locomotive Breath, and that was it. After listening to Back Door Angels, Skating Away and Two Fingers, I *knew* I was going to have to go back and listen to basically everything they had put out, and so I did. :D
@@cobrasys skating away was one of my favorite songs. I bought the original masters in the 90s when I was a kid and loved it. Storm watch was the last of the more folk albums so definitely a good one. Aqualung is a masterpiece of classic rock/blues riffs. Poet and the painter is my favorite excerpt from Thick as a brick. All so good!!!
Great interview in large part due to great interviewer. Knowledgeable, good rapport, moves with confidence and stealth from one question to next. Good job dude and thank you UP THE IRONS!!!!!
I love that he is well, i cant wait to see you guys next year on tour, Up the Irons ☠️
Great interview Joe. Very good questions leading to some nice bits of info from Bruce that I wasn't aware of. Can't wait to hear "The Time Machine"!
Bruce would go back into medieval times. Almost every Madien song takes me there. Great interview.
I'm glad you iron maiden release another album and hopefully you guys never give up your are the best metal band around
Yeah...the great bruce dickinson and his awesome maiden guys...i am a fan since i was 14....now i am 45 and still a great fan...up the irons!!!!
Great interview. Thanks.
It's always interesting listening to Bruce - so enthusiastic, and he obviously loves life AND what he does - that 20mins flew by.
"Me, I'm not on Facebook, not on Instagram, not on Twitter. I have no social media presence and I love it".
One of the gooduns is that fella.
Incredible interview thank you Joe!
Bruce looks like he could play guitar for a NWOBHM band.
Well, he does sing for a NWOBHM band (he sang in more than one at that)
he also plays guitar
He kinda did on Revelations.
@@MellowRhythm91 used to sing you mean
@@James-hh1lq Nope.
Iron Maiden were part of the NWOBHM movement early in their career and, no matter how big a band from that scene gets, I say "Once NWOBHM, always NWOBHM".
Of course, other bands he fronted from that period included Samson and Speed.
Very calm and natural Bruce I wish to see you again soon and hope you're well 👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Can’t wait for the new album
Piece of mind still my all time favorite maiden album hands down. And Bruce your solo stuff blew my mind keep rockin mate
well said
Great interview with my favorite singer!
I'm seriously stoked about this album but in particular I've been looking forward to listening to The Time Machine! It's a very unique title for a maiden song and Janick often ventures outside of the "maiden territory" and given that Bruce kinda teased a bit of the song at 14:05 got me very excited!!!!
Awesome interview! Can't wait for Senjutsu 🤘🤘
Steve is the METAL PROFESSOR..
Love the longer haircut on Big Bruce. Great man great Band!!
Also gonna add this was an excellent interview. Great questions
Nice interview thank you!
Great interview ! Bruce and Maiden will always be an inspiration!
10/10 to Joe DiVita for talking to bruce like a true fan \m/-_-\m/
Bruce is a legend!UP THE IRONS!
"I have sketches for crazy stage ideas for some of the songs" + "I love Peter Gabriel" = 1 + 1 = 2
Oh my Goddess, a rock journalist that asks good questions!! Thank you!!
Cheers Bruce, from Arizona USA
What a man! What a Singer!!! What a Legend!!!!
Awesome, a metal legend takes a quick break to get his 'cauldron of tea'
Amazing still at it. Damn
A question someone needs to ask Bruce during this Q&A period... has he heard of Raphael Mendes? And what does he think of his voice?
Just saying, I’d love to hear Iron Maiden do Empire of The Clouds live at least one. It would be amazing!!
San Antonio loves iron maiden wheeewww!!!!!!
What a treat!
I love this man
Awesome interview!
On form as ever
Bruce Dickenson does "Behold The Man" - Michael Moorcock. Brilliant! BTW, excellent interview questions.
Bruce is a class act, as is The rest of the guys in Maiden
I really want to look at his bookshelf lol
Me too.
Bruce is the best!
Love him 😍
Ayeeeee might get Empire of the Clouds live!!!
Bruce is the greatest
Great interview!
Would be so fantastic if Bruce would do the "Love Is All" cover from when Ronnie James Dio did the song with Roger Glover at the Butterfly ball. That song/video was in a VHS tape at my grandfather, with a lot of different programs for kids, when I was very young and I remember that I always loved to listen to that song/vocals (without me knowing of the fantastic world of Maiden, Rainbow & metal yet). Memories! So awesome with the new Maiden album as well! Up The Irons!
Mesmerizing, the way The Death of the Celts leads into The Parchment leads into Hell on Earth! Please tour near South Carolina!
Best maiden Track ever loved it so much listening to it everyday
I love the Bakashi Ice and Fire vibe to the animation...👍
My friend Ramona and I had a blast decoding the invite and figuring it all out. We were SO friggin hyped for The Writing On The Wall once it started too, she plans to get the 100 dollar vinyl for the album. UP THE IRONS 🤘🤘
Great interview....
The legend
I cant fucking wait
Love is all!
I would lOVE to hear Bruce sing Love Is All from butterfly ball
Yeah! Iron maiden 🤟
What makes this a good interview are the questions . They're focused a little different . Not the usual clap trap ,some journalists seem to perpetually through out.
Great job guys 🤘
Just love it
Legend 🤟
Up the Irons!! \m/
Yeaaah... Respect 👍😆🍵
Love U All friend
You know if you see "Smith/Dickinson" or "Smith/Harris/Dickinson" it's going to be a great song.
It's simple folk's,,,UP THE IRONS! Nuff said
Empire of the clouds live? Please!!!
Yes, please
Love to hear Bruce name-drop Van der Graaf Generator and Peter Hammill. Hammill is the best ever.
His voice isn't quite what it used to be, but Maiden are still awesome and I'm sure this new album is gonna be fire.
How come? His voice on the last tour was as good as it's ever been.
Have you heard of a song called Stratego?
@@hugolafhugolaf It just sounds more strained now, like he's having to force something that used to come easier. Listen to El Dorado. Great song, but he wavers a bit on the chorus, and his voice seems like it almost breaks. I mean, he did have throat surgery, so it's not like I'm faulting him or anything; I love Maiden just as much now as ever, but he can't reach the high notes quite so easily anymore. He's still fine with the mid-range stuff, but on the higher end he sounds a little hoarse sometimes. To me, at least.
Come on, he's better than 2016-17
His voice fits the songs. Thats all that matters. Keep in mind he beat throat cancer as a singer still on top. That deserves a Nobel Prize on its own! 🏅
How come you guys don’t do a Wikipedia fact or fiction with him? Seems like an amazing episode to do
Waiting you in Győr with orchestra in november
The air raid siren
Interviewer's hair looks like Phil circa cowboys from hell. Cool.
I would like to ask bruce if he ever tried to scream or to growl, idk, it'd be fun hearing him doing that stuff
Dang, you listened to the album? I am jealous.
Dear Sir Bruce: in the current state of affairs, do you possibly have the intentions of writing another book of bodies, which would apparently make it a sequel to the first.And as for the standards of touring with COVID 19 is Rod Smallwood going to arrange the tour dates for the U.S. dates in more larger outdoor venues permitting the band to play lesser indoor venues???
UP THE IRONS ‼️‼️‼️‼️🤘🏻💀🤘🏻
So have you guys heard the full album before its release?
Can somebody PLEASE tell me where I can buy tickets for the Glover/Dickinson concert? I NEED to go but it seems impossible to find tickets for this event on the internet...
