he does fencing,is in one of the most awesome metal bands and is a freakin pilot! bruce is cooler than 007 :) and ed force one (there tour plane) looks awesome! :)
Dang...Bruce looks so civilized...I miss yapping w/Brits like him in England when I was stationed there. They were always so congenial. Maybe that's because I'm pretty cool myself.
read about THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST on WIKIPEDIA. why do we as a society label these people devil worshippers and there old age and later years prove they are not? Still with his Cockney accent-his speaking voice-is kinda hard to get used to, BUT HE IS ALSO HILARIOUS!!! and he looks so YOUNG for his age. AND HIS VOCAL RANGE!!! does he still have it. With all this exposure, we allways knew these rock stars were nice intelligent people, but nobody would believe us. They are NOT corrupting us!
@MichaelHansenFUN And neither are jews, black people, atheists, black cats, shattered mirrors nor metal music. But hey, just try to find a way to interiorize this, same way I had to: 99% of the world's population is mentally retarded or dangerously short-sighted (read: stupid and prejudicious). Meh
I went on one of the early Flight 666's to Iceland in 2005 and i gotta say Bruce is one of the coolest guys i have ever met...He hung out with us for ages chatting and taking pics and signing stuff....Total legend is Bruce!!...Wish i could say the same about Adrian...
@lionnew It was June 2009 I was seeing Chickenfoot in London and after the concert as i was walking away from the venue i saw Adrian across the road, I went over told him i was a huge fan since the mid 80's and if it were possible to have a pic taken with him..And without even stopping he looked at me and said "No" and just kept walking...Im sure everyone has their bad days but i was so disappointed as it was my first time meeting him and he would,nt give me 10 secs to have a pic taken with me.
@Chromeboy2003 aw iam so sorry about this : (..but iam sure Adrian had a very bad day, dont worry, iam sure that in the near future u will have the opportunity to meet Adrian, he seems a great guy!...just dont allow to that unlucky incident to keep u away from your hero : )..besides we all have those nasty days..on the other hand, oh man, iam so fucking jealous lol, you had Bruce right next to you..my dream is to meet him some day, and i swear i will even if it is the last thing i will do : )
@Chromeboy2003 adrian is the worst of the lot. outside of the band he hates being talked to.ive heard many stories of him ignoring fans. hopefully you run into janick,dave or steve!
this interview embodies everything i've admired about him as a human being and musician. he's a humble man. never once forgetting that he is human. and right to the end, he's still asking if he can be of service..
I did not meet him, but flew in the Iron Maiden plane from Iceland to Copenhagen in May. I thought at the time that I was possibly flying on an old tour plane since it is a discount airline...I had NO idea the story behind it until I read this article. So cool
man I loved Iron maiden for the longest time, then I found out he was a pilot too and I was yep new personal hero. Im trying to be a pilot so to see that is just great!
Normally I am terrified of getting on a plane... But with Bruce behind the seat, I would not be terrified at all. Maybe Nicko as Co-Pilot! Hahaha. :D That would be awesome.
Love seeing all the Maiden love here. Thanks everyone for watching. Must say hanging around with Bruce for a while -- flying with the 'fly to live' king -- was an all-timer. Guy is all class, super down-to-earth. MUCH MORE to the experience than can be crammed into a three-minute video.
What an awesome guy. Makes me proud to listen to Metal. Screw everyone that trys to tell you metal is bad or satanic! They can stay in the abyss of crappy music
@EightGodzillas I grew up with Maiden, and I've always admired Bruce's honesty, integrity and professionalism. He also seems pretty humble, and is the first to 'take the piss out' of himself. He more than anyone seems to understand how incredibly ludicrous his music job can be sometimes, and how fortunate he is because of it. A lot of people look at him and see braggadacio and ego.I see a pro who isn't afraid of laughing at himself. I think that he deserves being called one of MY heroes
Unfortunately I don't think it's that easy...! (a lot of energy goes both into singing and flying a plane, and he appears to be able to belt both out!)
But if he could get his co-pilot to fly for a bit whilst he did a number...! Extra cool to the already cool!!

the reason why Bruce became a pilot, is because of his Maiden's "Aces High" and "The Flight of Icarus".
