Product Description

Product Description
Bruce Dickinson is best known as frontman for the multi-million selling giants of heavy metal, Iron Maiden, with whom he has enjoyed worldwide success for 25 years. However, his story outside of Maiden is equally remarkable. Prior to joining that band Dickinson enjoyed stardom with Samson, while his post-Maiden solo career has brought much critical success. Further away from his day job, Dickinson is a true renaissance man. A member of the British Fencing team, he also hosts his own show on flagship digital radio station, BBC 6Music, is a best-selling fiction author, and TV presenter for the Discovery Channel and Sky One. Dickinson is also employed by the commercial airline Astreus as a first officer, and even participated in a mercy mission to rescue British residents from Beirut during the summer of 2006. This book tells his story for the first time, through exclusive interviews with those who know him best: from his formative days to all his time in Maiden, through his solo years, right up to the present day, where Iron Maiden are rightly considered legends of music worldwide.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Reasonable Stop Gap, 11 Aug 2007
By Dumf (Albion) - See all my reviews
In a world where biographies are published for any no-mark who's spent 2 weeks in the Big Brother house, it always amazed me that nobody has done one for Dickinson. Well, now someone has. Although unofficial, Joe Shooman's effort is an worthwhile read. But, considering the subject matter, it would be difficult not to fill a few hundred pages with Bruce's achievements. Neither Dickinson himself, anyone currently close to him or Maiden PLC have contributed to this book. Hence, a lot of it does rely on rehashed stories that any Maiden fan (of my vintage) would already be well aware of and the sources that they came from. There are a significant amount of inaccuracies on a scale similar to that of a Classic Rock magazine article. There is also heavy reliance on testimony from the (thankfully) long-forgotten Thunderstick. However, all that critisism aside, I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Until an official biography/autobiography comes along I suppose it'll have to do.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a book about Bruce Dickinson!, 6 Nov 2008
Those looking for a book on "The Man" need to look elsewhere...! This offering is more about record production and those around Bruce rather than being about the title character. For instance, when describing events prior to his reunification with Iron Maiden, the author dwells on the antics of the members of Bruce's solo band rather than what he was doing at the time. There is little new on his character or really what makes him tick, and as for early days with IM, he joins the band for NOTB and within a couple of sketchy chapters covering some epic and relentless tours, IM are said to be burnt out...!
For those wanting a fairly dull read about record production - fill your boots! For those really wanting to Die With Their Boots On - Go elsewhere
