Hey I-B,
As a singer I can assure you there's not a lot falsetto notes sung by Bruce in any song. He's just blessed with an incredible wide vocal range and therefore simply doesn't need to use falsettos to reach the high notes. He only utilizes them in some really high screams he recorded (i.e. the lead-in vocal sequence on #OT
and when he's "feeling lucky" on stage. [!--emo&

I'm NOT saying that you should not use falsettos when YOU sing Maiden songs: If you need them, use them! But use them well: A good falsetto technique is often overlooked by many singers... It's the first thing you'll damage when not taking good care of your throat (and, of course, your general health) and it will be the last thing to recover when you've wasted it! [!--emo&

Falsetto training: Find the top-note on your normal (chest) voice, then try to sing as low as possible using your falsetto. Now find the note thats exactly inbetween these high and low notes (you can memorize them using a piano or keyboard). The middle note you found indicates where you should best change to falsetto. In addition to this try to keep as much of your chestvoices character preserved when using falsetto notes (so don't start sounding like a chipmunk all of a sudden). This will make your voice sound more "mature" and it will make it that much harder for your listening audience to distinguish your chestvoice from your falsetto.
Good luck and hopefully my post was usefull to you [!--emo&
