Bruce Dickinson

[Austrogoth]

Listened to the album a few days ago, if only Bruce would make an album like this again.

I'd like something that reflects his actual abilities and vocal range.

Also good. Any Bruce album is a good album.

Roy Z dropped a little comment on Facebook about the (long-awaited) new solo album from Bruce:

''We got all kinds of songs . It’s all about timing . All I know is we got the goods. When they are delivered is not up to me''.

some news at least

some news at least

How is this "news"?

 

[The_7th_one]

Well, he is saying that they're got a bunch of good songs ready. I would like to hear something of that from Maiden

 

[Black Wizard]

I think he's said something similar a couple of times already, so I think the only news is that there's no news.

 

[The_7th_one]

OK there's no news but it's something. I've got the feeling that they have worked on the songs during the lockdown.

 

[Yax]

I'm just waiting for another drunken rant from Roy Z.

 

[Black Bart]

I understand our frustration. In the days of the Internet, "no news is good news" sounds like an anathema.

Bruce never let us down with his solo albums so if it's true, it's going to be one hell of an album.

He did with Tyranny of Souls, as far as I'm concerned (despite some great songs on it, I don't like the production, there is a lot of "meh" songs -including "Abduction"-, "Devil On A Hog" is cool but doesn't fit...) but possibly because The Chemical Wedding was pretty impossible to follow.

The Chemical Wedding was his peak (all his albums are great for me), it's amazing album and one of the best metal-albums in the last 22 years.
Can't believe it's been that long already..just can't believe. How did the years go so fast?

For me a flawless album. Amazing how good Bruce sounds here if you know he was in so much pain to sing this.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

Skunkworks is my favorite solo album from Bruce. I like CW and others but this is unique enough to take #1 for me.

Listened to the album a few days ago, if only Bruce would make an album like this again.

I wouldn't mind that at all!

 

[Kalata]

For me a flawless album.

Agree. TOS is a fantastic album.

The only meh song is ''Believil'' IMO. And ''Abduction'' is one of the best solo songs from Bruce (top 10 for me). The album has a great variety.

Last year he said that they have 17 amazing songs just sitting (click here)

 

[The_7th_one]

Yes. I know that, but I understand in the last RoyZ comment that they have chosen the good ones

 

[Black Wizard]

What's everyone's favourite Blaze Bayley album outside of Iron Maiden?

What's everyone's favourite Blaze Bayley album outside of Iron Maiden?

This has to be preceeded by a comparison between Bruce and Blaze, or just any kind of link really. You can't just jump right to the goods. Try again.

Like:
A: I wish Roy Z had played on Silicon Messiah.
B: Yeah! That would have been great. I loved his work with Bruce and would it Blaze perfectly
A: Yeah, maaaan. What's your favorite BLAZE album?
