Bruce Dickinson

I'm going to Prague, touch wood!

Got a ticket for this one. Although currently looking for a job and accomodation in Amsterdam.
If the concert happens, I will fly back 1000%.

As far as I am concerned, he can wear whatever he likes.

Let’s hope his singing voice is in tip-top shape for the tour.

Saw him Sunday in Atlanta. He sung bits of Jericho and Revelations. Sounded strong and powerful. I think the time off was good for his voice and I imagine he will sound fine for the tour

As far as senior citizen frontmen go, Bruce is at the peak of physical fitness. He shouldn’t have to “hide” anything.

He still shows boundless energy moving about the stage and speaking for 3 hours with a little break. Pretty damn good for a 63 yr old I would say.

Meh, he's a rather active guy who, like us, got stuck indoors during a pandemic. Who hasn't put on a little bit of weight since March 2020?

Bruce's favorite female vocalist of all time is Ann Wilson (from Heart):

I think she was a sex icon for Steve too (I don't remember where I read it)

Not sex icon, but favourite female singer. There was an interview in the 80's. While H gave that title to Tina Turner.

 

[Flaming Blimp Crash]

Tina or Ann, both very good choices.

 

[Poto]

Very off topic, but I have to share this fantastic version of Stairway to Heaven given we are talking about female singers and Ann Wilson

Phenomenal

 

[Brigantium]

Fab singers. I'm a fan

You're both right

There was "Favourite Female Singer" and "Favourite Sex Object (Female)" and Steve voted Ann Wilson for both.

Incidentally, that Kerrang! poll is not the only source for this trivia: here's another interview where Steve mentions his enthusiasm for Ann (and Kate Bush).

If there's any doubt, don't forget Run to the Hills is a rip off of Barracuda

 

[The_7th_one]

UP THE GALLOPS!

 

[GhostofCain]

I’d say El Dorado is much more of a rip off of Barracuda!

Apparently how Steve described Run to the Hills to the band was that he wanted it to sound like Barracuda but faster

 

[The_7th_one]

Interesting Interview to Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull made the last December and he's talking about his new Album and a couple of questions about Metal and he is asked about Steve and Bruce.
At 14:28 min. into the interview he also talks about one email that Bruce sent to him asking about doing a live performance project at the end of next year (this year)

"How fast?"
"Much."

Kate Bush is awesome

I've seriously been thinking too much on what question to write in on Friday.

Ask him which tour will last longer, LOTB or his one man show.
