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. Dickinson even turned up at the box office to distribute some tickets to the special event for lucky fans.

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...

Metal fans love band merch, but which band’s merch do they spend the most money on each year?

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...

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 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...

Bruce Dickinson said he’d still quit Iron Maiden if he had it to do over again – but added that he’d do it differently with the benefit of hindsight. He left the band in 1993 after nine years and five albums, embarking on a solo career that took him in a different direction until he rejoined Steve Harris’ outfit in 1999. In a recent interview with Classic Rock, the vocalist if he’d make the same move all over again. “I would have done, yes,” he said. “I wouldn’t have changed that, but I would have done it better. I would have had more of a plan.” READ MORE: Why Bruce Dickinson Said Iron Maiden...

During Loudwire’s “In Conversation” live event with Iron Maiden‘s Bruce Dickinson last week (Jan. 16), the singer revealed that his new solo album, The Mandrake Project, features his first-ever guitar solo. While Dickinson is best known for his age-defying vocal performances, when it come to songwriting, he dabbles on guitar and piano. He plays down his abilities while conceding that although he can use these instruments to write, he’d much prefer someone else play them on the recordings.
