Bruce Dickinson

[Ascendingthethrone]

Both great songs. “Starchildren” has that fucking bulldozer riff and a powerful chorus, it’s killer.

They don’t do it for me. The remix might get rid of that annoying pipe during Starchildren.

Starchildren is a great song i like your description of the main riff.

 

[Diesel 11]

that annoying pipe during Starchildren.

What pipe?

 

[Jer]

What pipe?

Percussion during the chorus.

 

[Ascendingthethrone]

What pipe?

Percussion during the chorus.

They left the window open and some industrial noises spilled onto the recording.

 

[dickinson1978]

Live was a cowbell lol

And for AOB the album is recorded in 1997? And sounds grear after nearly 30 years.

The pipe is the best part

Percussion during the chorus.

Ah! Yeah I love the way it sounds.

What happened with the remixed Skunkworks album anyway?

It’s been available on Apple Music and Amazon Music for months, apparently.

 

[MindRuler]

The original Skunkworks is just fine.

 

[Azas]

The original Skunkworks is just fine.

FTFY

The Original: Skunkworks... is just... fine.

Spoiler: Spoiler

Weird that the album appears to be available now on Spotify but not releasing until end of October

Is it available on CD as well?

Not that I know of. Same story with Tattooed Millionaire — digital files only for the new remix.

 

[Black Bart]

Yes, along with Tattoed Millionaire and Balls To Picasso, it's the only album of his that has been produced professionally.
It is a shame for AoB and TCW not to have benefited from that level of skill (though I admit there were good production ideas on the latter).

 

[Azas]

I really can't wait for Bruce's new song to be released, hopefully sometime this autumn, just to see where he'll steer his solo work musically. We're now at the door of the building that is the hype for the upcoming album cycle. Exciting times!

 

[MrK]

I would assume Bruce is on a gag order from Rod regarding new material until the RFYL tour wraps up in the end of November.

 

[Azas]

Yeah, until Maiden is touring, there'll be no news from him. But... who is Rob, and why is he gagging Bruce? Unless it's Rob Halford, of course. My bad.

¨Finally soumeone has said it. I think the original BtP is the best Bruce solo album in terms of sound production. On the other hand I always thought AoB and TCW suffer from very poor thin sounding production, which leads me to the conclusion that Roy Z was never a good producer hence his Halford and JP albums all suufer from the same thin sound syndrome.
