Bruce Dickinson – Iron Maiden's Pentuple Polymath

Bruce Dickinson has a ton going on (including a show tomorrow night 10/5 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles)! The legendary Iron Maiden frontman is on the road with his solo band and The Mandrake Project, and shares what makes this tour so much fun – from theremins, Japanese Kodo drums, and “Frankenstein” jams to setlist surprises like “Flash of the Blade.” He explains why he wanted to revisit and reimagine albums like Balls to Picasso and Skunkworks, and how his solo years shaped his return to Maiden. Bruce also talks about singing the U.S. National Anthem at the Pittsburgh Steelers game, being asked to drop the puck at an LA Kings NHL home opener, and what it’s like to balance Iron Maiden’s massive tours with his own “House Band From Hell.” He weighs in on new Maiden drummer Simon Dawson stepping in for Nicko McBrain, how their playing styles differ, and why Simon was always the only choice! Plus, Bruce reveals plans for his next solo record (which he’s recording live, old-school style), updates on the Mandrake Project graphic novels, and his favorite songs to sing on both the Mandrake and Maiden tours.
