Bruce Dickinson

[Murder of Rue Morgue]

I might be more interested if that had happened ...

THE TEARS OF THE DRAGON
IN A DESPERATE CALLING
ROLLING SHADOWS OF NIIII—

Stop, stop — Bruce!? What the fuck?!

 

[Black Bart]

I'm not actually interested in this album: I liked the character and charm of the original. Why is he trying to reinvent the past all of a sudden? Was he taking notes when Wolfsbane re-recorded their debut album a couple of years ago?

Obvisously, I have been too ambitious in my pun.

I could see a number of possible interpretations of your post, put it that way. I decided to go with the most straighforward

Well, Imagine Dragons "Believer"

Well, Imagine Dragons "Believer"

Funny!

On a related note, I saw Imagine Dragons live twice in 2025 and they were great.

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

Well, Imagine Dragons "Believer"

Yup, that was one of the other possibilities

The last one was "Bruce is now so cocksure and smug that he'll put out any old shit, knowing that his hardcore fans will just lap it up anyway."

I've just come across the bootleg from Madrid 1998. Damn, were we lucky to witness this.

I could not go to that show and I still regret it!

I was lucky enough to see Bruce, Adrian, Roy Z, Eddie, and Dave at a festival in Madrid in 1997 though.

Oh yes... Rock In Madrid! That gig was fantastic. I specially remember «Darkside of Aquarius», and «2 Minutes To Midnight». Accident of Birth had just come out. Exciting times. It was the first time I saw Dickinson and Smith on a stage. I went there on my own. It felt like a dream.

I can vividly remember Adrian Smith laughing when we all were repeating the words to the intro to The Prisoner. Happy days!

Iron Maiden Brasil writes:

"Bruce Dickinson found the grave and confirmed Andreas Kisser and Derrick Green will be on their next studio album!"

And there I am, sitting on the fence, thinking: "Mandrake... bloody Mandrake!

In this interview, Bruce was asked if there could be potential guests on the new album like Adrian or Roy:

''There are no plans for that at the moment, I have 2 great guitar players, a great keyboard player. I mean, we wrote all the songs between us, did everything up, so. Nobody would object, but I like the idea that once you got a crew, I think you owe it to them to respect them and not trying kinda almost... [he did not finish]... it's always a bit weary of having guests on solo records, is if like the band you've got is not good enough, you know. Maybe that's the wrong way to think about it, but I like to make things nice and clear.''

So Bruce has completely changed his mind about how guest appearances should be viewed.
