Respect to everything Bruce said. Bruce didn’t want to lose the roots of his European band. America loves to polish and commercialize artists. That being said, America is a huge bonus. If you can’t sell records in America than you’re not going to be popular worldwide. The Beatles began that trend in the 60’s.
Yes Bruce was a good looking guy when he was younger and so was Steve Harris I have English in me and I am proud of it too my.antsisters came from England but I was born here in the us many great bands came from England Pink Floyd the moody blues cream the who zeplin deep purple yes black sabbath and from the us the eagles jimmi henderix the doors the Byrd's I can go on and on maiden manic up the irons always🎸🎸🎸👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸
And the late great Tom petty too!! Tom's music will live on forever!! Just like Hendrix music will live on forever and many more lengends maiden manic 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘and up the irons always🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
America was the birthplace of rock n roll it's true the English made it a lot better I do agee alot with Bruce the Beatles chanced everything when they came here to the us and many other English bands followed the dress the hair Beatle boots and us bands did the same I did.love the beatles.for many years.since I was eight I loved iron.maiden.for.over thirty years and I still do and I always will they are a fantastic band I have many of there albums up the irons!!! iron maiden forever🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸
Bruce dickenson is very intelligent how many rock stars can fly a plane? not many David Gillmore of Pink Floyd can mabie some of you don't know about that that's why David Gillmore wrote the song learning to fly like I have said before Bruce is the voice of iron maiden the greatest frontmen of all time and he still has the pipes at sixty one years old just fantastic with the greastest bass guitarist of all time Steve Harris everyone's fantastic keep up the good work mate we love you always up the irons you guys rock!!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘👍🤘🤘🎸
@CabanaGuy I meant in comparison to the amount of gigs they do elsewhere. If they can do like, 25+ USA gigs, surely they can do more than just one like we've had for the past 2 tours now.
@mayorbee11 they're actually british metal judast priest and maiden now led zepplin and queen now they're british rock more like classic bruce is so cool ^.^
@TropianTV Skynyrd, the Doors, Soundgarden, Audioslave, The Ramones, System of a Down...I'll stop now before I blow out the comment section. LOVE British bands - some of my all time favorites are from there, but don't sell America short..
@KWACKnockedShrimp British rock is definitely the best. They got the beatles, judas priest, Led Zeppelin, Queen, iron maidn, etc. but american does have some good bands too, like Metallica, Journey, and Van halen and bands like that.
Pink Floyd, Bowie, Roger Waters, early Genesis, Mike Oldfield, The Police, The Kinks, Sabbath, The Fall, The Jam, The Smiths, The Clash, Joy Division, early Fleetwood Mac, Radiohead, early Dire Straits, The Cure, Madness, King Crimson, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel, Pulp and Jarvis' solo work. Rory Gallagher, Brian Eno, Manic Street Preachers, The Stranglers....we got some creative people here in Britain. America has a vast amount of greatness too. America has given us...Faith No More, Mike Patton, Nirvana, Talking Heads, David Byrne, Pixies, The Doors, R.E.M, Chris Cornell, Mr Bungle, Mark Lanegan, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly, Morphine, Chilli Peppers, Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Simon and Garfunkel, some cool cats....I love music. :P
@robiemsdarkable I can't even remember when or why I made that comment, but of course, MAIDEN RULES THE WORLD, STILL. Its such a true blessing to be a headbanger and enjoy these legends.
@KWACKnockedShrimp and in europe there's something that isn't fair: british bands get the spotlight and other european bands get underrated.....i agree with you on the american situation but in europe nowadays....it's messed up
@KWACKnockedShrimp I'd agree (Maiden, Priest, Sabbath!!), but hell, come on! Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, etc became the pinnacle of heavy metal, and there are quite a few more examples besides. Love the Euro metal bands (Destruction!) but don't sell America short - we've got some excellent metal bands from here.
Hail iron maiden forever and Eddie rocks also up the irons guys maiden manic Bruce look a lot better with long hair short hair did not sure him that's for sure up the maiden manic🎸🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
@KWACKnockedShrimp England had the top FEW BEST bands, but America has arguably produced larger numbers of good bands, Megadeth, Metallica, Pantera, Anthrax, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Aerosmith, Foghat, Styx, Kiss, Fleetwood Mac(though half british they were undeniably better with Buckingham and Nicks who were American). America has produced a lot of great rock and metal. I agree with Bruce on a lot, but not here. They are both equal.
@maiden4lifa09 Uh, thats actually quite far from the truth. American bands hate Maiden?lol Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Exodus and more have all expressed appreciation for Iron Maiden. Bruce says nothing here regarding America having bad taste in music. You seem to have taken his point the wrong way. My friends and I are American and we love British music. I don't see what the point is in being ethnically devisive. And Maiden get radio-play where I live btw :)
Sorry,I didn't really mean that. I was just pissed off because I consider the day I saw Maiden live the best day of my life. ( I listen to these guys religiously.) It's no surprise it got me in a bad mood when I read that Maiden has no reason to come to the U.S.
Iron maiden rocks always glory to england I'm glad what someone said the England has the best bands and the all time greatest guitarists of all time henderix Clapton Jimmy page bass guitar player the fantastic Steve Harris of iron maiden slash like who ever you like so many fantastic.guitartists and it's really fantastic that iron maiden is still going strong to this day I hope they can still play like Ringo Starr and he is seventy nine!! great for Ringo well like I said another rock ledgend is gone ginger Baker we lost a lot of rock greats this year Eddie money Ric ocasic how many more are we going to lose? only time will tell but at.least we have the music there music will live on forever just like actors when they are gone there movies wil live on always up the irons forever maiden🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🤟🤟🤟🤘🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🇱🇷🇱🇷
And iron maiden has been here in the US this year America loves them just like the rest of the.world I have the live at donington CD and the English fans event nuts that CD is one of greatest live albums of all time all of there stuff is fantastic I just love them they really work hard to please the fans and give the fans a good time they enjoy what they are doing and if they are happy the fans are happy too and Eddie is very happy too up the irons maiden manic we love you iron maiden🎸🎸🎸🤘🤘🤘🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Guitar4life97 Wow. I honestly hope you don't actually think ozzy is american. Oh wait whoops, you're a 13 year old american, I was almost surprised by your ignorance. And implying that metallica are good right now? lol, yep sure is 13 year old american.
