I've got a video off of Youtube.com that he's taking his first shower in an airplane... HALARIOUS

I don't wanna see that one...

And Earthwizard, never heard it, but it honestly doesn't surprise me.

He is a pilot for a private charter airlines.

He has written 2 books, "The adventures of Iffy Boatrace" or something like that, and the sequel, "The Missionary Position."

He was asked to join the olympic fencing team but rejected it to stay commited to Maiden.

And, his solo career is awesome. I'm gonna start finding his CD's soon...

I love that song A Tyrrany of Souls. I haven't heard much of Bruce Dickinson's other solo career stuff, though.

Bruce's solo career was fantastic. Again, it's hard for me to choose a favorite of anything that has so many great songs to offer, but I just can't get the chorus from "Kill Devil Hill" out of my head. HAHA

Blood brothers of angels, now hear us
We earthbound your offspring, don't fear us
God willing will rise up be near you
So open your arms now and take us

So we beleaving our dreams like the Icarus of old
The plans we made for the bold and the blue wide beyond
Theres nowhere to hide, there's no going back now

As the wind wips over the hillside
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
Steady wind blows over the sand
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
As the breezed went straight as an arrow
It begun over Kill Devil Hill
Gasoline and the wind in the wires
Kill Devil Hill and the way to the sky

We stand on this seashore and wonder
What madness, what secrets we plunder
Our failure we run from discovery

The wreckage of heaven lies on your sand
First chance is abandoned
With woodstring and wire we can barly control her
Desire for destinys arrow

As the wind wips over the hillside
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
Steady wind blows over the sand
Twenty knots over Kill Devil Hill
As the breezed went straight as an arrow
It begun over Kill Devil Hill
Gasoline and the wind in the wires
Kill Devil Hill and the way to the sky

I like everything I've heard from Bruce! I will always buy, even without listening to it first, something that involved Bruce!

I only have Tyranny of Souls and Chemical Wedding, I've heard several songs from his over cds and I like it all. I guess no matter what he's doing it's gonna be great anyway cause well dammit, He's Bruce Dickinson. haha

I think that the songs in Bruces Solo career are alot deeper than most of Maidens songs, for example the tears of a dragon.

Yeah they are a lot deeper.

His solo career also let him work on his voice. Before his solo career his voice was amazing. After it was even better. And I'm sure that his solo career was not the only thing that helped improve his voice but I'd bet money that it played a lager part.

Please forgive me if someone already said this but I'm to lazy to go back and read all of the old posts.

First time I heard this song, I nearly cried, its so amazing.

Skunkworks is the most awesome bruce dickinson album. reminds me a lot of rush-grace under pressure, same feeling, mood, whatever. it is so excellent on vinyl.

Didnt see any mention of it in the thread so I thought I would..

Did you know That when Bruce is not recording or on Tour He is a Pilot for commercial airlines??

Imaging getting on a plane to fly to Ibiza for 2 weeks and over the Tanoy comes a voice saying " this is your Pilot Captain Dickinson" eek

Bruce The Pilot<-- link to Brucefans.com

Nicko Also Has A Pilot licence aswell razz

User Image

He is Also a Keen Swordsman and Loves his Fencing.

His Dad was My History Teacher at Cliff Park High School, Gorleston, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk England!!! FACT whee

He was invited to the fenceing olympics once (something like that) and he's a good writer too.

Yeah! I could imagine that....

Your history teacher was Bruce's dad?!?!
