Once again I wonder where these pearls have been hidden from me all the time. This one is really good, but the original has an outstanding position in my list of alltime-favourites...;-)
Wow! amazing, amazing vocal. What a timbre and quality to that voice. Bruce is most assuredly one of the best rock/metal voices of all time. I love Ian G. as well but this was amazing.
Back in 1980's my first Heavy Metal Band was Iron Maiden "Eddie" always caught my eye & in 1993 I became their Fan club member from Pakistan. I still listen to them, Bruce has a unique killing voice. X Factor was done by Blaze Bailey, I gotta say Bruce & Bailey are unique blends & they are far better than perfect. Now cover for Deep Purple, with DT wow. Thanks to 3 young guys who started Youtube so we may watch these epic videos. They sold Youtube, sold to google for $1.65 Bill.Thanks for vid:)
It's ALL Good...Bruce...Purple...The Theater...All Good..
Dream Theater did something that even the (other icons) didn't...They play the songs skillfully like the original with benefits, the benefit of (usually 20 plus) years of technology, Top drawer musicianship including the other icons!
Awesome!!!! who could ask for more....except maybe a bag of Benjamins, popcorn and a private jet to go with...
Because Bruce pissed off Yngwie on radio show. It was the first time they met, and according to Yngwie, he tried to be nice to Bruce as much as possible, but Bruce ignored it through the show.
Bruce Dickinson is without a doubt the 8th wonder of the world.No one, and I mean absolutely no one in metal yesterday,today or in the future can or will come close to his voice.Thanks for putting this on. I didn't even know Bruce teamed up with DT and did this.Oh yeah...DP rocks!
BRUCE DICKINSON IS THE BEST VOCALIST THERE IS, HIS VOICE HASN'T DIMINISHED AT ALL, COMPARED TO MANY OTHER SINGERS THAT GET WEAK AS THEY GET OLDER, BRUCE GETS STRONGER...HE'S UNIQUE, ONE OF A KIND, A LEGEND, HE MADE HISTORY, HE'S THE BEST AND NOBODY CAN ARGUE OTHERWISE...BRUCE CRUSHES ALL ....THE ALMIGHTY BRUCE DICKINSON, NO ONE COMPARES.

@iluvkochikame Best is a matter of preference and everybody has their own. Frankly I find limitations in just about every singer's repertoire including Mr. Dickinson. My favorite singer will be determined by the sub-genre of music they play For instance, I wouldn't want to hear Geoff Tate sing Metallica nor would I want to hear Hetfield sing Queensryche. I'm just sayin'......
@CntrlScrtnizr part of me died. Ian's the shizzzzzzzzz. Bruce is bruce and where would we be without 6x3 Ce Beasturonomine Domine. ehm interesting layering of witISSISM /wordweaving VERBOSITY pools of gathering smartS. pools MIND PUDDLES. n stuff. BY ME. EHEM YEA
As usual with this band when they cover Purple, it sounds like PISS!!! I hate educated "musicians". They lack everything when it comes to feel. They do what they're told to do as in "what they learnt in school". Utterly boring band!
@IHIKML Funny you say that, for me Bruce is one of the singers with the most passion and emotion in his voice. There's no such thing as lacking feeling when it comes to him. And I like this version better because it's more powerful and fast paced. The original is kinda... mellow. I know that's their style and they're great, but if I have to choose, I choose the less "settled" version. The ending is overdone, though, they should've kept it simpler, without the endless vocalising and guitar solo.
When the fuck was this recorded? xD I'm probably one of the biggest Iron Maiden fanatics that walked the earth, and these days I've been listening to a lot of Purple, and I was just thinking how this song totally impressed me, probably more than any other song since I first heard The Trooper couple of years ago... And then I found this, my GOD IT'S PERFECT!!!! BRUCE NAILED IT!
@TheTrooper9169666 No offense, but if you just heard the Trooper a couple of years ago, you must be young. I recall listening to the Trooper and the entire Piece of Mind Album on cassette tape around 1983 when it came out, blasting from my boombox on the sands of Hunington Beach, Ca...Rock On! Up the Irons!
@ewalls01 there is no offense xD im proud to be young xD and, yes it's not like im listening to metal for more than couple of years, but, the best years of my life are linked to heavy metal, im gonna love this music forever, and maiden, too ! :) wow, cali, the other part of the globe haha, great experience it must have been, rock on too!!! \m/!!! Up The Irons!!!
I'm a big fan of Priest and his soloworks. I also love Dio, Kahn, Paul Di'Anno, Gillan and many other heavy metal singers. Just thought Bruce was a good example since he is singing on this one :)
Dickenson is one of the best singers ever! Period! Just don't tell him, his head is big enough! Great song, great band! Always good to have Portnoy around....Petrucci did a great job at emulating Blackmore - until he went completely ballistic - which was great! Love it - Hate it...I don't care! It's light-years better than Labrie could ever summon.
el tema le quea perfecto a bruce!!!es mas me animo a decir que se hizo para que lo cante bruce!!!!orta cosa no se si dieron cuenta:es tema esta re alto mas alto que la version de ian gillan
Excellent vocals by Bruce! He seems to struggle hitting some of the higher notes labrie does.... He kind of replaces high notes with distorted vocals? I would love to hear Bruce do vocals for Dream theater's Number of the beast album though...
As for the video: OMG, this version is just so powerful. Probably one of the best I've heard, surely beats the pure-DT version. If only it were a bit slower...
Great vocal performance by Bruce, but that was to be expected. One thing I don't like about this version: it is too fast; the tempo of this cover ruins the majestic gravity of the original.
I'm going to see Maiden w/DTopening for them this summer! Would be awesome if they play something together! Seen both seperate many times. First time for the combo. Always great to see a rocker that is my age and still hot. xoxo Bruce!
@ctcassidy - I'm going to see then at DTE (formerly and aka Pine Knob) in the Deteroit Area. Probably within days of the chicago show. cant wait!
Should be an interesting crowd. Both bands attract slightly diff crowds. Mostly musicians (drummers for sure) at a DT show. But last Maiden show, I was sitting (I should say headbanging) with doctors! (friends of friends) filling me in on Eddie's history between songs. Great fun!
Bring a change of pants just in case. you never know
This version is great and all and I have tons of respect for Dickinson but Labrie during his prime can not be compared to Dickinson. Few singers can be compared to Labrie in his prime. If you listen to some of these recording of Labrie belting out E flats and going as high as Soprano A in head voice...it just blows your mind the fuck up! Just find a good recording of DT's "The Killing Hand"!!! With all due respect this version is just like Labries version with notes above a high D taken out.

@hamielec Except that this song doesn't need any Soprano A's. And you are right, LaBrie could not be compared to Bruce because they have completely different vocal, uhm, characteristics, but I would prefer Bruce infinitely even to Labrie in his prime (which, however sad it is, lasted what? 2 years?). James' voice in the high registers always felt a bit bland for me. That said, I understand why they contacted him when Bruce left.
@Savior1024 its still pretty awesome to hear the high ntoes. It gives the song way more energy. What I'm talking about is like 87-93 not just the two years. 92-93 was when Labrie had this ridiculous style of belting pretty much ALL his high notes. In the scope of rock vocals, Labries style in 92-93 was something not heard before because noone had used chest voice that high (ever) but he was great even before; in his first band. With all respect to Dickinson, he just doesnt have the high notes.
@jrsydvls95 Bruce can definitely sing the song but Labrie added some higher notes to his version and to me Labrie sounds better on the high notes of the song (his voice sounds more controlled and cuts better in the high register). Talking about whose better is just stupid because there is no reason why we cant just listen to both but in terms of range the fact is that Labrie and someone liike Russel Allan can sing higher than Dickinson and Daniel Heiman can sing WAY higher than all of them!!!
are you sure this is dream theater playing?? it doesn't seem to be them, maybe it's because of the poor quality of the audio.. LaBrie version is much better.
OMG! JAMES CAN'T SING!!! Bruce is the best singere in the WORLD! you got it ? There is not a singere in the world who can sing like him! James sounds like and old piano..
I like version with James Labrie more

Just find a good recording of DT's "The Killing Hand"!!! With all due respect this version is just like Labries version with notes above a high D taken out.

@hamielec Except that this song doesn't need any Soprano A's. And you are right, LaBrie could not be compared to Bruce because they have completely different vocal, uhm, characteristics, but I would prefer Bruce infinitely even to Labrie in his prime (which, however sad it is, lasted what? 2 years?). James' voice in the high registers always felt a bit bland for me. That said, I understand why they contacted him when Bruce left.

@Savior1024 its still pretty awesome to hear the high ntoes. It gives the song way more energy. What I'm talking about is like 87-93 not just the two years. 92-93 was when Labrie had this ridiculous style of belting pretty much ALL his high notes. In the scope of rock vocals, Labries style in 92-93 was something not heard before because noone had used chest voice that high (ever) but he was great even before; in his first band. With all respect to Dickinson, he just doesnt have the high notes.

@hamielec dude bruce can hit the high notes just fine, I've seen him cover this live...
jrsydvls95 1 year ago
@jrsydvls95 Bruce can definitely sing the song but Labrie added some higher notes to his version and to me Labrie sounds better on the high notes of the song (his voice sounds more controlled and cuts better in the high register). Talking about whose better is just stupid because there is no reason why we cant just listen to both but in terms of range the fact is that Labrie and someone liike Russel Allan can sing higher than Dickinson and Daniel Heiman can sing WAY higher than all of them!!!

are you sure this is dream theater playing?? it doesn't seem to be them, maybe it's because of the poor quality of the audio.. LaBrie version is much better.

I have read somewhere, that this was recorded at BBC 1 Studios in January 1995.
Does anyone have the real information about this recording? Is it available anywhere on a cd?
residualbill 1 year ago
from 1995 the album is : a change of seasons
1. a change of seasons (medley)
2. funeral for a friend/ love lies bleeding
3. perfect strangers
4. the rover, Achilles last stand, the song remains the same
5. the big medley
and don't expect Bruce to be singing

@ MrSNOWBLAST
You're right that DT recorded a version of this song on that album, but that was recorded with James Labrie doing the lead vocals.
I have learned that this recording with Bruce was at a BBC Radio recording session. It was never officially released so it's only on bootlegs.
