Bruce Dickinson: My Life in Iron Maiden 

Airline pilot, pro fencer, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, Heavy Metal singer.... This guy is a true renaissance man

I see Bruce I click

A published author, a world class fencer, the lead singer and a songwriter in one of the most successful bands in modern music history, he beat throat cancer, he pilots a 747, flying Iron Maiden around the world and he speaks in a calm, friendly,intelligent, considerate, articulate manner when interviewed. Any single accomplishment of his would make anyone else an overall success in life. Bruce is a very unique person to say the least. Unstoppable and a model of achievement for anyone. I hope he lives past 100!Cheers Bruce!

I'm watching this at... TWO... MINUTES... TO... MIDDDDD...NIGHT!!!

The Rock and Roll hall of fame is a joke, why are legends like Iron Maiden not in there? They're one of the greatest metal bands ever... I'm glad to see them on the Nova Rock in austria.

The man is a living legend.

A 19.5 minute video of Bruce Dickinson describing his time in Iron Maiden? Thank You Loudwire!! 🙂 UP THE IRONS!!!! 🤘

I highly recommend the Audiobook of "What Does This Button Do?" BD narration/reading of it is absolutely hysterical.

Hearing one of the greatest heavy metal singers of all time, talk about Ronnie James Dio, saying how he's such a great singer...amazing.

Graham is hands down one of the best interviewers I have seen. He is a great listener and never interrupts his guests. He never tries to steal the show by trying to match wits with those he interviews. As far as Bruce Dickinson, the man is a legend. What a career!

I remember during the book of souls tour, Bruce kept yelling at the crowd to put their phones down and enjoy the moment. When a bunch of people in the front didn't listen, he stopped the band from playing briefly and scolded the concert goers lol 😆 Such a legend

Seeing Bruce sat down chatting to someone shows just how intelligent he really is. I've read the book and followed some of his various accomplishments, but having him talk about this stuff shows how smart he is. This guy really has lived

I like how happy the interviewer looks to be interviewing Bruce. Good on him! I was lucky enough to have him sitting opposite me at my university graduation a few years ago, as he collected an honorary doctorate. I gave him the metal horns...

How has Bruce not been Knighted already? The man is a Legend along with the rest of the Band.

I'm a simple guy. I see Bruce Dickinson, I click like

It can never be overstated how incredibly talented this guy is. Maiden was good before Bruce, but when he joined they became a global band that very few can compete with. The real Big 4 should be Sabbath, Priest, Maiden and Motorhead. Those are the true legends that started it all and made Metal what it is.

Hey guys look Greatest frontman of all time 🎤

I don't even have to watch the whole video to know his life in Iron Maiden: Legend

One of the greatest vocals of all time

Bruce Dickinson is amazing, Up the Irons:).

Happy 60th birthday, Bruce Dickinson!!!

I am 34 years old and i was 16 when i went to rock in rio 2001. I WAS THERE singin fear of the dark and it was my first maiden show, the arena was 13km away from my house. So imagine a teenager, at the peak iof being metal and maiden fan seeing them for first time in a FUCKING ROCK IN RIO 3 2001 BRAVE NEW WORLD TOUR. THAT WAS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

"You didn't need to have the tea leaves read to figure out what was going on" Love it!

I've been a pro musician and a voice teacher for 2 decades and... THIS GUY IS THE MAN. What he does with his voice is even harder than you think it is. Thanks Bruce!!! \m/ \m/

Him and Dio are the best metal singers ever. It’s like metal opera. So epic...

Martin (the producer of the Number of The Beast album) sadly passed away in August 2020, he was 71. R.I.P

Greatest metal singer of all time!

Over the years I’ve grown to admire Bruce Dickinson more for the person he is rather than just as the incredible singer for Iron Maiden. I mean the dude flies commercial jets as a side job. He’s just an inspirational human being.

He's a healthy guy despite his early injuries, the whole band is in fact, always running about on stage. And as good now as they were years ago.

perhaps the greatest British band of any genre

Nice to see Bruce happy with life. ✌from across the pond in Utah.

Metal legends are more legendary than other legends

My first concert! 1982 Judas Priest/Iron Maiden. WE NEED MORE COW BELL!!!

Bruce you’re a legend come to Dallas again

Probably the best interview Graham has ever done. And he has done quit a bit.

6:54 AND, as good writers/producers know, the first part of anything and the last part are what people remember most and the first is most important as it's the HOOK, the first thing they hear so you want that to be just amazing and the first line of Heaven and Hell.... Ronnie sings that so great and probably true that he had to do it a few times to please the producer who knew it needed to be gold or you wouldn't be happy with it 20 years later.

Been going to Maiden since 1987. Going to Freiburg, Germany and Zürich in 2018. Taking my 10 year old son to Freiburg. Up the Irons forever!

I don't blame this Graham dude for having a smile on his face the whole interview. True Legend.

My brothers ex girlfriends uncle is the drummer in iron maiden, I used to have a close relationship with her as a child and she got me into metal when she brought home the 2001 rock in Rio DVD

"In Germany, nobody would push a button if they didn't know what it did" So true! :-) Excellent interview, a must see!

What a amazing person. So accomplished, talented and humble. His backlog of work helped define the genre.

"Where Eagles Dare" THE BEST

I don't want this conversation to end. Bruce is such amazing person.

Bruce, I look up to you so much. I cant wait to see you and the rest of Maiden some day! (Not in europe, I'm in America..) I really enjoyed watching this interview, Thank you Loudwire!

I have the autographed version of his book...read it cover 2 cover...loved it...not what i thought from a heavy metal rock star...i will say bruce is a "jack of all trades....and master of them all" piece of mind was my 80s anthem..wore my cassette out...this book was a long time coming...glad its in my home library. Thanks for the memories bruce.

I gave up my music dreams to be a pilot. Love this guy, he’s inspired me in so many ways over the years.

Thanks for the interview. Amazing! Bruce is a legend

What a great interview, just two people talking. Both engaged and listening to each other. No egos on either side. Alot of journalism these days is about trying to catch the person out. This was a pleasure to watch :)

Even though it might feel monotonous and repetitive to do all the tours, I hope Bruce knows how much each event means to us. I have had the privilege to see Iron Maiden one time this year in Charlotte and I have to say it is the best concert I have been to. You are changing lives and making memories and you should feel proud of it. I know fans can be crazy 😝. But it’s all (mostly) our adoration of all of the work put in by the band, the producers, the set designers, and all the people who form fundamental parts that make the shows absolutely outstanding. Thank you Bruce and thank you Iron Maiden for being the best band in the world.

Great interview! Bruce being Bruce and the Interviewer did a good job. He came across as knowledgeable of the subject unlike some others I’ve seen. Kudos!

Always so professional interviews. I'm a huge fan of Loudwire.

I very much like Bruce... doesn't come across like a big 'rock star'. Just a decent, down to earth chap, despite who he is, his talents, and all he's achieved.

For the first time in my life I’ve never seen no negative comments in a RU-vid video !!!

He's an absolute legend. His message is clear; live life to the fullest and use it's full potential.

Sun and steel is my favorite song from them. I'm glad they talked about it!

I love that he asked about When the Wild Wind Blows. One of my favourite ever Maiden songs.

Thanks to Loudwire and Bruce for doing this interview. I believe that all of us in our lives we have a “fear of the dark” but have to “push that button” in order to grow. Your comments are very thoughtful and you’re very articulate. I got introduced to Maiden in my teens and I’m still listening in my 40’s and Powerslave solos still earn me speeding tickets. Thank you Bruce and Iron Maiden for always bringing a smile on mine and I believe ALL our faces! Up the Irons!!🤘

The interviewer did a pretty good job. Very professional!

Wow, Bruce. One of our Long-Time-Idols. Thank you for your whole Work, Brother. God bless you! Tommy

Saw maiden for the first time last year on the Legacy of the Beast Tour in Freiburg. Sound quality: amazing. Performance of the band: first rate. The actual show, etc: an absolute gargantuan achievement. But the stand-out from everything was definitely Bruce. He didn't drop a note, ran around like a kid and commandeered the whole evening. I really wasn't expecting him to be that good. it's nice to be surprised...

what a life this man Bruce has lived

Great interview thanks.

6ft deep snow in my Upstate NY! Love that Bruce commented on my homestate and our badass winters! It was the same in January 86 for the Somewhere In Time show at RPI in Troy! Anyone else at that show? I was only 13 years old!

Graham, Bruce, what a dialogue! I am not sure whose contribution I appreciate the most, if required to make a choise. Awesome stuff from a much appreciated interviewer interviewing one of my childhood/youth idols!

I only have one thing to say: Thank you for All, Bruce. And thank you for the best Song ever: Flight of Icarus!!

Up the Irons!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Thank you Loudwire for this video.

I am so happy for this video. To me Bruce Dickinson is the best example on how a true professional singer should be. I always admire how incredibly successful he is. The most incredible thing to me is how he became a pilot of the biggest commercial planes out there. Wow thats just amazing Bruce. Also he is an inspiration to me to stay away from drugs, this guy believe it or not with all the money he has and all the fame and the environment he is surrounded all the time he managed to never touch drugs, I believe thats why he is so successful and so professional. I truly admire you Bruce and would love to have 5 minutes with you in person just to tell you that. Also I need to point out that all Iron Maiden members to me are just as professionals and great examples of how a true band should be. Up The Irons. One of the most amazing and enduring bands on earth.

Graham’s seems like he’s in the presence of the creator of the universe lol love how humble and respectful he is though! Love you Graham!

Number of the beast, my favorite album. I remember, 1981. But, we all get turned on to Maiden with an album, then that's our favorite for always. That's the beauty of Maiden they keep going and pick up fans along the way. Well, and the fact they stay like Maiden and don't sell out. And they are HUGE!

The best band ever and always a pleasure to listen to him.

My very first influence into heavy metal music when I was 16yrs old . and always loved him and Iron Maiden.

I remember getting on a bus with a school mate going to see the Fear of the Dark tour in Birmingham, and we were by far the youngest fans on the bus. Who would have thought nearly 30 years on, I'm now that old geezer and there are new generations of fans popping up all the time. I met Bruce in Nottingham one time briefly and got to shake his hand (back when he was doing his solo material), very amiable chap. I also know someone who is an amateur pilot and bumped into him at an airport maybe 3 or 4 years back in France. He was a big Maiden fan, but they spent 30 minutes talking nothing but planes.

Bruce Dickinson! One of the best singers ever! Up the Irons!

Bruce Dickinson my favourite heavy metal singer 🤘

Got my tickets for Sept. in Sacramento.... never been a big fan but my respect has grown for this band and vocalist. I remember when I used to play Number of the Beast on my radio show (college) back in '83... tingles up and down my spine. The fact that Mr Dickinson is for Brexit even makes him more great

Great singer, way ahead of its time. True legend. Super smart, a super guy literally. He really makes a perfect front man for a great band like Iron Maiden. Always inspiring. Gonna get the book for sure.

It honestly amazes me how he can still sing as good as he used to...especially since he had throat cancer 👏👏👏👏

"The purpose of growing into eldership is to stay healthy. By now, if you're of age, should be fortunately established with good finances. The rest is downhill. Keeping yourself healthy is the main objective because one doesn't want to live a life of pain/in pain. Right?"

Graham is a great interviewer, gets to the heart of things

You guys from Maiden are awesome. Long life for Sir Dickinson and your fellows. Cheers from Brazil.

Great interview mate. Very well done!

one of the greatest singers of all time.

Met Dicko a couple of times. Top guy! Very friendly and interesting to chat with.

Great interview! Bruce is awesome and Graham's questions are very interesting!

Sadly, the last time I saw Iron Maiden was on the Somewhere on Tour in either Dallas or Fort Worth, supporting, obviously the Somewhere in Time album. I still remember it being an excellent show. Good enough that I had to look it up to find out that the supporting act was Vinnie Vincent Invasion on both shows. I'm jealous too because I just looked it up and found out that a good portion of the European countries got W. A. S. P. for the support act. That's a show I definitely would have remembered. Anyway, Bruce does great interviews, even though sometines he seems to stumble while looking for exactly the right word. I'm really not sure why, but for some reason I had to hear Iron Maiden a few days ago, out of nowhere. Now I'm stuck in this RU-vid endless rabbit hole of Iron Maiden videos 😅😅😅

Guy looks great! What an amazing career and life.

Love how he keeps it real, down to Earth, super humble. Great guy, amazingly talented musician.

60 years....great man and incredible singer...i love you!

Hey Bruce! Awesome book bro. Loved our time together, you're a top guy and huge inspiration. Keep Rockin'- DCDRUM360

Bruce.A living legend in a legendary band.UP THE IRONS TROOPERS\m/!!!

Long live the king Bruce! Dickinson the first and only! Great man and person!!

Bruce, I just want to thank you for your great book of life. I believe that everything what happens to us is written and must happen. So I thank God for you also for Steve, Adrian and Dave and entire Iron Maiden. Your music has been accompaning me whole my life. Greetings from Poznań. Ps. That wedding took place in dancing club "Adria". I was 11.

I like Graham's interviews

RIP Clive Burr (former IM drummer).

I need read this book urgently, Iron is a lovely band.

I think they should show Bruce in more interviews i love hearing his voice and his knowledge!

Great Scott! Articulate, erudite and amusing. Great pipes too!

I can’t believe how they used to tour back then , 15 months at a time , so many albums in between.. a fine example of how hard work pays off.

I feel I learned history listening to Iron Maiden. Can't believe they are still at it and sounding awesome. Maiden for Life.

I met Bruce a few times but the one I cherish was when he played the marquee in charring cross road on his balls to Picasso solo tour, we got lobbed out at the end of the gig and we’d brought our albums up to get them signed, just when we were giving up ,we spotted Bruce behind the doorman walking about, after a few loud deep brucccceeeeee,bruccccceee , he come out the front and signed our albums and chatted a bit, absolute down to earth ,gifted human being. Thank god for him and maiden true professionals in British music.
