Bruce Dickinson

The song is Jerusalem! Kind of a surprising answer.

I was expecting Tears of a Dragon, but Jerusalem is another 10/10 track, so a sound choice.

Apparently as part of that Revolver questionnaire he said “Tears” is the best song he’s written, “Jerusalem” is the song he’s proudest of, and “Zulu Lulu” is his worst track.

Would be interesting to hear those respective questions answered as pertaining to his Maiden songs only.

If I had to guess I can see him seeing Revelations as his best, Powerslave or Empire as the one he's the proudest of and something from NPFTD or FOTD as his worst.

Put on The Mandrake Project this morning for the first time in awhile (the outstanding new Priest album that came out the week after this has dominated my time since) and I still like it. I don't love it but I do like it.

Shadow of the Gods is still far and away my favorite tune. I kind of wish it ended there as Sonata is a cool idea I guess but doesn't feel like a closer.

Glad this album exists even though it's not perfect. I'm curious where Bruce goes from here if in fact another album ever materializes.

 

[Cosmiceddie]

Tears Of The Dragon is not even in my top ten list.

Shadow Of The Gods indeed sounds like a proper album closer. But Sonata also feels like a closer imo, kind of like a long outro. Eternal is a similar example, or Jerusalem for that matter. Both are classic slow songs, btw.

Glad this album exists even though it's not perfect. I'm curious where Bruce goes from here...

Agreed.

 

[Mosh]

Laughing In the Hiding Bush is such a ridiculous song. I would be a bit bummed to get that instead of the immense Starchildren.

 

[Patrick92]

Yeah I wish he would skip Lauging in the Hiding Bush, I would also like to get rid of Gods of War. Three song from Balls is way to much

So just because of that. Here is my 15 song Bruce setlist. Less Balls, no Frankenstein. A few songs rotating. Trying to keep it close to the real setlist.

1. Accident of Birth
2. Abduction / Souls Intruders
3. Starchildren
4. Afterglow of Ragnarök
5. Chemical Wedding
6. Mistress of Mercy
7. Rain of the Graves
8. Tears of the Dragon
9. King in Crimson
10. Darkside of Aquarius / The Alchemist
11. Shadow of the Gods
12. Book of Thel
Encore
13. Jerusalem / Navigate the Seas of the Sun
14. A Tyranny of Souls
15. The Tower / Road to Hell

I was at the Porto Alegre show last night and everything was great, from Bruce and the entire band's performance to the setlist. The audience was very lively, despite it being small (around 40% of the seats were not occupied).

The only negative point of the night was when Bruce gave an unnecessary scolding to two boys who opened one of the side doors, shouting and swearing. This was a negative surprise.

Did he use the c word?

Some pro-shot footage (not live) and a bit of Bruce's warm up:

He just wanted to recreate a classic moment for you from Scream For Me Brazil. Geez, some people are never satisfied..

 

[Azas]

"I don't know what the Portuguese is, but shut the fucking door"

I am pretty sure Bruce felt draft of wind. He does not want to get sick again. C*s.

I don't get it. That a long-time professional like him loses his temper so often; that he has never prepared/practiced how to react appropriately/humorously when someone in the audience does something that disturbs him.
You rarely hear of such incidents with other singers and if you do, it's usually because they are/were going through a difficult period in their lives (i.e. alcohol/drug problems).

 

[Melony]

I believe we can rule out health issues. Roy has just announced a collabariation with a (yet undisclosed) big name in Metal.
It can't be just me who wouldn't get into such an important project while batelling serious helth issues.

Pantera?

 

[TheMercenary]

Pantera?

Rob Halford's first blues solo album.
