Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson said he was the victim of beatings regularly during his teenage years. He attended a boarding school in England during the ‘60s, where bullying was rife and there was nowhere to hide after the day’s lessons had ended. “I was on my own in boarding school and I got the shit kicked out of me on a regular basis. Like, every night,” Dickinson told The Quietus in a new interview.

Bruce Dickinson says he wanted to front Iron Maiden from the first time he saw the band in action. In a recent interview with Record Collector, the vocalist said he’d already heard about Steve Harris’ group when Samson, his own outfit at the time, hired them as openers for the show at the Music Machine, London, in May 1979. “We were headlining because our management had bankrolled the gig and said, ‘We want the top slot’ – although we didn’t really deserve it,” Dickinson recalled. “That became obvious when Maiden came on, because the whole place was rammed. I’d heard rumors about how good they...

Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson has proposed a simple solution the problem with music streaming, which is that Spotify pays artists a low rate and the company itself struggles to be profitable. Aside from singing in one of metal’s most legendary bands, Dickinson is an experienced businessman in and outside of music. He understands there are many factors to consider in establishing a viable business model that not only meets the demands of investors and top executives, but satisfies its consumers as well.

Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson has named the best song he’s ever written. It’s a song from the ’90s and it’s not even one he wrote for Maiden. The answer came in a recent interview with Revolver, where he singles out an acoustic-driven ballad that appears on his sophomore solo album, 1994’s Balls to Picasso. “I would say ‘Tears of the Dragon’ ’cause I don’t know what it means,” Dickinson confesses, “But it means something. That song really affects people. It affects me.” The nearly six-and-half-minute album closer is Dickinson’s most popular solo song, by streaming metrics at least. It has...
