Great book if you are a Bruce Dickinson fan, Maiden fan or just a fan of extremely interesting people. I love Bruce more since reading this. He seems like he would make the best dinner guest ever.

Professional advice given to Bruce after almost crash landing:
"Switch the aircraft off. Wait 15 minutes, then switch it back on again."

"...the effect on the mind was like dragging a rake across a disordered piece of sand or gravel. The desert seemed to soothe and calm the tempestuous mind that always bounced off the inside of my cranium. It was not inspiration; it was exhalation and nothingness."

This self-narrated audiobook was excellent. Bruce‘s life has been an interesting one. Best known as the lead singer of Iron Maiden (w/ great operatic voice), he is also known as a commercial pilot, author, historian, public speaker, competitive fencer, business owner, and entrepreneur. He covers all of these, as well as some interesting behind-the-scenes Maiden subject matter. When on tour, he pilots the jet Maiden flies around the world in.

During the Piece of Mind tour Bruce spent his days at fencing clubs in the city he happened to be in. During the Somewhere In Time tour he holed up in his hotel room and wrote a book on the free stationary! Rock and roll lifestyle.

Dickinson is a pretty good story teller. This explains where some of their deep and interesting songs come from.

Bruce is best known as the lead singer for Iron Maiden but is also a commercial pilot, entrepreneur, business owner, and wears a number of other hats. When Iron Maiden is on tour, he flies the band around the world in their modified airliner. My current audiobook.

Mehso-so

Between a pick and a so-so for me. He explains in the epilogue that he left out any mention of wives, children, and relationships intentionally. This dearth, however, makes for a superficial book with little in-depth info. I wanted more “VH1: Behind the Music” type stuff. Still, if you‘re a fan, check it out. He‘s still an admirable man with an interesting life

Shortstack Does he talk about his fencing career and learning to fly? 7y
Shortstack Or maybe I want to just find out for myself. I'm afraid now! 😬😬😬 7y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @Shortstack His fencing and flying are big parts of the book. Definitely check it out! 7y
Shortstack Oh good!! I'm not nearly as interested in his relationships as his adventures so it might fit me more. I hope I can get to it next month! Silly looming TBR!! 7y

I've been an Iron Maiden fan for ages now. Bruce Dickinson is one of the all time great heavy metal front men. I totally geeked out when I found a signed copy of his autobiography! I know what tunes will be on my playlist at work tomorrow!🎸🎤

”Nothing in childhood is ever wasted, except occasionally parents.” Bruce is my fave singer, and this book is amazing. The pic is from Iron Maiden‘s gig in Helsinki maybe 5 years ago.

I listened to this because my menfolk are big Iron Maiden fans. Pleasantly surprised to discover Bruce Dickinson is one cool dude. He focuses on music, flying, and fencing in this autobiography. He is also a big reader. I liked him so much I'll forgive him his dislike of Jane Austen. Last Chapter is entitled F**k Cancer. If it doesn't move you, you've got no compassion in your soul. I can now truly say with my menfolk 'Up The Irons'.
