Bruce Dickinson, lead singer of Iron Maiden, is made an honorary Doctor of Music at Queen Mary College, London. The graduation ceremony took place on 19 July 2011 at Westminster Central Hall.
I had my appointment with the "doctor" a few days ago. It was in the AECC in Aberdeen, and my presciption is for "more Iron Maiden concerts", cause he was fab, and I'd defo do it again if they do another tour.
I really really think that Steve Harris deserves that award too, since he write's most of the maiden songs and he is atleast as good as Bruce on writing songs, i think i have to say that Steve is even better than Bruce at writing songs :)
@MPMAREL Thanks - have removed "former". I wish I had recorded more of the speech, but had limited space on the memory card and decided to record short clips to capture the flavour of the occasion.
@AdAdAdAdsDad Thanks for your reply..I guess you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. Maybe I can get the clip of his speech somewhere, but I enjoyed viewing yours, thanks for your efforts, and for uploading :)
This is probably an unpopular opinion: Bruce is great and everything but I doubt if he has much music theory or psychology knowledge to be handed a doctorate in music. If we're talking about the music they've created and it's role, well then I think Steve and Adrian are as (or even more) worthy. It's nice to get these honours and awards but the other side of this academic honours is the fact that usually people study hard for years to reach these positions.
