Bruce Dickinson

[Brigantium]

@Brigantium I assume the Bruce solo gig rumour was a load of nonsense then?

Inconclusive. It was just something being talked about by fans in Newcastle, so goodness knows where it had come from, but someone had reason to believe Newcastle would be a venue for a solo gig

Didnt know if there was an actual date set yet!

Not that we know of, but Bruce said February again during the interview with Eddie Trunk.

 

[Black Bart]

I'm sure the stage choreography is a big part of the rehearsal. Any band with a light/stage show is going to do that.

I guess Helloween just had much work with it for the current tour... apart from Michael Weikath of course

I would wager a lot that exactly zero children were conceived whilst listening to Children of the Damned.

There's one somewhere, I'm sure of it.

It's not too late to change that either.

Prince William was born in 1982 ...

Spoiler

 

[Black Wizard]

But was he born in a mining town?

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

The point was he might be a Children of the Damned!

 

[GhostofCain]

Spoiler

Was he born 7 to 9 months after the release of the album? If not, it does not count, unless Lady Di was at the Rainbow show in November 1981 when they debuted the song.

Not in 58

 

[Brigantium]

And goodness knows who she was shagging at the time.

How great if she had been though. It would be nice to think she got to have some fun before she married royalty and was thus forced to become boring ...

Really enjoying the book so far ... read up to 7th Son on a flight today .. it seems written pretty well ... so far nothing I would call earth shattering revelations, but some interesting stuff for sure.

 

[Navigators Ghost]

Starting read through number 2 tonight

I don't understand, on the toilet?

 

[Navigators Ghost]

I don't understand, on the toilet?

Amongst other places, its a possibility

Totally offtopic, but Tears of the Dragon has really grown on me lately. It used to be one of those songs that I just didn't get, despite really loving the Balls to Picasso album. Something about it has just clicked lately, the buildup into the chorus gives me goosebumps. It's also one of his great vocal performances. It's always nice when you get a different perspective on a song you've known for years.

Tears of the Dragon is one of the best things Bruce has ever sung, Maiden included.

That took a while indeed. I ran to the store when the single came out. One of the most cherish things I ever bought, with a notably longer instrumental section than the video version, and two b-sides I totally fell in love with.

Vocals wise the Tribuzy performance was stellar. Music wise? The 1998 Euro leg with Adrian Smith solo
