Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Bruce Dickinson is best known as frontman for the multi-million selling giants of heavy metal, Iron Maiden, with whom he has enjoyed worldwide success for 25 years. However, his story outside of Maiden is equally remarkable. Prior to joining that band Dickinson enjoyed stardom with Samson, while his post-Maiden solo career has brought much critical success. Further away from his day job, Dickinson is a true renaissance man. A member of the British Fencing team, he also hosts his own show on flagship digital radio station, BBC 6Music, is a best-selling fiction author, and TV presenter for the Discovery Channel and Sky One. Dickinson is also employed by the commercial airline Astreus as a first officer, and even participated in a mercy mission to rescue British residents from Beirut during the summer of 2006. This book tells his story for the first time, through exclusive interviews with those who know him best: from his formative days to all his time in Maiden, through his solo years, right up to the present day, where Iron Maiden are rightly considered legends of music worldwide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this Man!!, November 2, 2007
This is a must for any Iron Maiden fan. Bruce is a very intelligent man & seems to have no plan to slow down any time soon which is great for the world. I enjoyed reading this book and will read it over to make sure I have not missed anything. Up the Irons!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The story of the NWOBHM Vocal God!!!, September 13, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Excellent read, about the living legend Bruce (Bruce) Dickinson. The voice that gave birth to thousands of imitators but no duplicators. Joe Shooman's book does a wonderful job of covering the life and times of Dickinson and even if you're a hardcore fan there's going to be something scattered through the many pages that will make you say "I didn't know that". Even if you do know it all (which I doubt) it's still a great bio which pulls from so many sources and voices to help tell the story of one of the most down to earth icons that has graced the music world.

From Bruce's singing days pre Samson, with Samson, Iron Maiden, his illustrious solo career, side projects, and his return back into Maiden, Shooman covers all the bases and then some. His busy personal life, hobbies, interests, ideas, you name, you'll read about.

As a fan from the first time I heard the "Air raid siren" voice, I've certainly amassed an impressive collection of all things Dickinson, and this bio is now among the treasure collection.
