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.

In support of his new album, The Mandrake Project, Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson played his first solo band show in 22 years on April 12 at the Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood, California. It was the first of back-to-back nights at this historic venue, billed as The House Band of Hell in what has turned out to be a pair of not-so-secret shows.

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. In a new interview with Mexico’s ATMosferas Magazine, the Maiden frontman confronts Spo...

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...

Der Mannheimer Rapper Apache 207 ist mit seiner neuen Single «Loser» alles andere als ein Verlierer: Der Song ist auf Platz zwei der höchste Neueinsteiger in den Single-Charts dieser Woche. Das teilte GfK Entertainment als Ermittler der Offiziellen Deutschen Charts mit. In dem Stück zeige der 26-Jährige eine sehr nachdenkliche Seite von sich, hatte Sony Music zur Veröffentlichung mitgeteilt. 2023 sei dank Rekorden und Auszeichnungen das Jahr für Apache 207 gewesen. «Umso überraschender ist es, dass sein neuester Track, mit dem er 2024 auf die Musikbühne zurückkehrt, ausgerechnet den Titel 'Los...

Bruce Dickinson almost wrote himself into a bind with “Afterglow of Ragnarok.” That was one of the revelations to come from the singer’s guest appearance on Full Metal Jackie’s weekend radio show, discussing his new album, The Mandrake Project. It was quite the undertaking by the Iron Maiden frontman, working out not only a new album but a corresponding comic and some intriguing video work as well. Within the chat, Dickinson delves into how much time he spends considering the themes and concepts that have gone into the conceptual story. He also discusses how he’s been able to balance the story...

Ganze 19 Jahre hat sich Bruce Dickinson Zeit gelassen, um ein neues Soloalbum zu veröffentlichen. Sein bislang letztes, «Tyranny Of Souls», erschien im Frühjahr 2005. Seitdem ist viel passiert im Leben des Iron-Maiden-Frontmanns. Er erkrankte an Kehlkopfkrebs und besiegte den Tumor. Seine Ehe endete nach 29 Jahren und er heiratete erneut. Außerdem veröffentlichte er in dieser Zeit vier Studioalben mit Iron Maiden. Nun bringt der Sänger erstmals wieder eine eigene Scheibe heraus - und noch mehr. «The Mandrake Project» beinhaltet zehn neue Songs. Zwei Tracks waren schon vorab zu hören. «Afterglo...

Here are the things we love most about Bruce Dickinson‘s new solo album The Mandrake Project. The nearly 20-year wait for the successor to 2005’s Tyranny of Souls is finally coming to an end, with 10 new tracks spanning just under 59 minutes. Musically, the record takes quite a lot of detours, but is still largely reflective of the metallic style that’s been in play since 1997’s Accident of Birth. In the works in earnest for about a decade, with some material here going back a quarter century, The Mandrake Project very much feels like the product of such a lengthy process. It’s some of Dickins...

Bruce Dickinson has always zigged where most artists would zag. He was still flying high in Iron Maiden when he first went solo with 1990’s Tattooed Millionaire, putting his spin on the pop-metal du jour he openly loathed. He quit the group three years later and released a series of increasingly adventurous solo albums with guitarist and collaborator Roy Z. When Dickinson rejoined Maiden in 1999, he refused to go through the motions with nostalgia bait, instead crafting a series of quasi-conceptual epics that challenged fans and the band alike. Now, 19 years after his last solo effort, Tyranny...

Bruce Dickinson has named the most challenging Iron Maiden song to sing live, noting that it is “equally” difficult to tackle this one now as it was in his mid-20s. The 65-year-old spoke with SongFacts, first providing a track-by-track breakdown of his new solo album, The Mandrake Project, which comes out March 1. The 10-track record has been in the works in earnest for about a decade, with some material even stretching back much further. The singles — “Afterglow of Ragnarok” and “Rain on the Graves” — showcase Dickinson’s seemingly ageless voice. The aforementioned interview later shifts to h...
