Not that we all didn't know this already, but Bruce Dickinson is arguably the coolest, most accomplished dude on earth. Iron Maiden singer. Amazing solo artist. Former world-class fencer. Author. His latest love is flying, and today Dickinson, a licensed airline pilot, agreed to fly the Liverpool soccer team to Napoli for a Europa League match.
Here's the story as reported by ESPN and the British newspaper The Guardian.
Rock on Bruce.
That reminds me, I've got to do a review of Maiden's latest album The Final Frontier.
Bruce is an awesome human being in general. I remember during a natural disaster (Katrina maybe) he lent his plain and services in the rescue operation.
ReplyDeleteI think his solo albums are the single best argument for intellectual heavy metal out there. He did a concept album on William Blake, fercryinoutloud!
Brian,
ReplyDeleteBruce does seem to be an extremely cool guy...and I actually like his solo stuff better than a lot of Maiden's output.
Yeah, Bruce's solo albums are amazing (though I've never come around to Skunkworks). The Chemical Wedding is in the top 5 heavy metal albums of the 1990s.
