Maybe something Avante-Gaurd? I wouldn't mind seeing him do that type of metal. Might come out pretty good I think.
 
I just spent this morning playing Balls and Skunkworks on the old record player.  AOB and CW certainly get the biggest praise (and well deserved), but these albums are really good.  Bruce got together with some good musicians and wrote some really good tunes.
 
I just can't really get into Tattoed Millionaire, where as the last three Dickinson albums I absolutely love. I certainly hope he continues along this route musically, and I hope he continues to work with Roy Z if this is the calibre of music being created.
 
I always thought that one would be more accessible. It is simpler and just a fun rock album. The other ones are more experimental and take a few listens to fully appreciate. I guess I was wrong.
 
That was funny .. Bruce is a good story teller, he could have a good career in narration if he wanted it.
 
I'd like to hear Bruce doing some progressive rock/metal work in his next solo album. (I hope there will be one) Or something that's really different, something you can't imagine.

I would prefer him to keep on a similar path as his last 3 solo albums ... I think doing a solo proggy album would sound too much like a Maiden album.  I hope there is another one, he and Roy Z. really work well together. 
 
Short interview with Bruce:

HEAVY metal legends Iron Maiden say they are hopeless at communicating with each other. And that’s despite being together for 36 years and selling 80 million albums. The rockers, who play Cardiff tonight and have two dates at London’s O2 Arena this Friday and Saturday, would rather go into rehab than give each other a nice cuddle.
Frontman Bruce Dickinson, 52, told me: “We try to keep things on an even keel. Being English we still have some reserve when we’re communicating ideas to each other.
“If we hugged each other we’d have to go straight into rehab.” The singer, whose hits include Number Of The Beast and Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter, believes Maiden will make “at least one more album” to follow last year’s chart-topping 15th record The Final Frontier.
But he admits songwriting can be hard work with the band, which also features guitarists Adrian Smith, Janick Gers and Dave Murray, all 54, plus bassist Steve Harris, 55, and drummer Nicko McBrain, 57.
Bruce laughed: “We go off on our own, scribble ideas into our notebooks and come back to throw everything into the melting pot.
“We know the boundaries of what we can do musically.
“We’re not the kind of band who could say: ‘Hey, let’s do an album with Kanye West’ because that wouldn’t interest Maiden fans at all.
“Things have been going a bit more prog-rock on our recent albums and the fans seem to love that.”
It’s a long way from when they started out, when the band were infamous for their punch-ups.
Bruce said: “We’d have a stand-up knock-down fight about anything. But we know each other better now and people do mellow.” Phew.
 
That's too bad that they don't really seem to get along that well. Oh well. That happens with a lot of bands who have been around as long as they have.
 
Well, I think the big problem is between Steve, Bruce, and H. Bruce and H are friendly, and Steve seems to be on his own most of the time. Jan and Dave and Nicko seem to get along as well, and something tells me that it's Nick and Dave that keep the glue together.
