Bruce Dickinson, pilot of the airwaves

22 October 2004
Metal legend Bruce Dickinson has more talents than you might expect. Not only does he front one of the most successful heavy-metals bands of all time - Iron Maiden - but he's also an author of two books (on a cross-dressing 18th century toff, as it happens), a competing fencer who was once rated fourth in Britain, and a pilot.

Now he's added yet another string to his bow - or should that be electric guitar? - by becoming a radio DJ for digital station 6Music.

"I love doing the show and it's turned out really successful for us," he enthuses. "We can play whatever the hell we want and mix everything from Alice Cooper to more modern bands like Viking Skull."

Bizarrely, Bruce manages to fit his radio show in between touring the world with Maiden (selling 60m records in the process) and flying passengers around the globe as a pilot for a commercial airline.

"At the moment I'm flying planes full-time and it's now my proper day job until the Maiden tour next year.

"A few months ago I was flying overnight for seven hours to Africa. It was around midnight when the captain leaned over to me and quite unexpectedly showered me with vomit - so I had to spend the next five hours covered in it.

"It was then that I thought to myself, not even in my worst days in rock 'n' roll has anyone ever been sick on me. Sometimes flying airplanes is actually more rock 'n' roll than being in a band."

While Bruce is clearly in love with his new-found careers, Maiden fans needn't fret as the singer feels he can juggle all of his jobs quite easily.

"The thing with all these pursuits is that I think they can all co-exist quite happily with one another. It's just a matter of fitting everything into the right places."

After touring solidly for a year in support of Maiden's Dance Of Death album, Bruce suffered an accident during one gig in America that left him counting his blessings that he lived to tell the tale.

"We were playing one night and our stage set had lots of ramps and things for me to play around on. So I was standing on a platform 10 feet above the drum-kit and I was running along. As I ran I slipped on some whipped cream - God knows where it came from - and fell all the way down, head-first, on top of the drums.

"I totally buggered up my fingers and ripped all the muscles on my chest and back. It was a total Spinal Tap moment but I still finished the gig.

"I can laugh about it now but at the time I was on major painkillers and nearly had to walk with a stick. Slipping on whipped cream in front of 10,000 people could only happen to me.

"During that time I was also recording my new solo album with producer Roy Z and when I was recording vocals we had a bed in the studio. I would sing for about five minutes and then lie down flat on the bed for 15 minutes because of the pain."

With another new solo album currently being recorded, a Maiden DVD, The Early Years, primed and ready for release, a summer tour with Maiden next year and his 6Music rock show on the airwaves every week, it's hard to know what this human dynamo will do next.

But Bruce has some ideas up his sleeve. "Some well-deserved sleep. Either that or I'm going to go to the pub."

The Early Years is released on November 8.

Ik heb er niet zo veel last van bij Maiden. Het enige nummer waar ik me echt aan erger is Flight of Icarus terwijl dat in het begin my all time favourite nog wel was Zelfs Wrathchild kan ik tegenwoordig weer waarderen.

IRON MAIDEN To Release 'Number Of The Beast' Single - Nov. 16, 2004

In celebration of IRON MAIDEN's phenomenal 25-year history and in keeping with the recent international chart success of their double DVD, "The Early Years", EMI will release "The Number of The Beast" as a single on January 3, 2005.

The title track of the band's third (and first No 1!) album, this single was a Top 20 hit when originally released in 1982, and is rightly regarded as an all-time MAIDEN classic. This song typifies the band's sound signature of that era, from the chilling spoken introduction to the throat ripping opening scream from Bruce Dickinson. The single will be released in three very special limited-edition formats, featuring never-before-available live recordings from the Clive Burr charity shows at Brixton Academy in March 2002.

The news of the single release follows the spectacular reaction to the announcement of live shows for next summer. In Scandinavia 88,000 tickets sold within hours, with 51,000 sold out in 2 1/2 hrs for Gothenburg's Ullevi Stadium, 22,000 sold out in a day for Helsinki's Hartwall Arena (two shows) and 15,000 tickets first day for Oslo Spectrum (also two shows). Also recently on sale is the show at Paris Parc Des Princes Stadium on June 25 June. To satisfy insatiable MAIDEN fans, an official U.K. travel agent has been appointed to arrange official MAIDEN parties to the Paris show, with privileged access made available to the members of the fan club.

In response to repeated requests over the years, special limited edition prints of the original "Number of the Beast" album artwork signed by artist Derek Riggs will be sold through Eddie's Megastore. In true MAIDEN style, their fan club members will have first access to the prints,

The single is to be released on January 3, 2005 across three formats including an Enhanced CD, a strictly limited 7-Inch Colored Vinyl with free poster, and 12-Inch Picture Disc.
