What Makes Bruce Dickinson great? Today I’ll be sharing what I think distinguishes him from other singers.
Bruce’s introduction to performing came when he was a child. His parents were constantly traveling around the UK with their performing dog act and as a result of their busy schedules, he lived with his grandparents.
Always a character, Bruce was kicked out of Oundle School after he pissed in baked beans being served to the prefects and his headmaster. He later repeated the feat as the frontman to Iron Maiden when he didn’t like the sound mix during a 1983 festival, pissing on the mixing desk.
As lead singer of Iron Maiden, the first album that featured his vocals; The Number of the Beast, ended up topping the UK album chart and ironically knocking off Barbara Streisand.
In 1992 Bruce Dickinson recorded an Alice Cooper cover with TV character Mr Bean (Rowan Atkinson). The song; “(I Want To Be) Elected” was released as a single along with a video as part of a Comic Relief project, and ended up making the top 10 in the UK Singles Chart.
For today’s video I’ll be showing a few of his performances and sharing with you my thoughts. I hope you enjoy the video and please be sure to share what you thought made Bruce great!
