[scorpions]

Tänne olisi tarkoitus kerätä kaikki Maideniin liittyvän audio, teksti ja video haastattelut ja miksei live videotkin.

Tässä olisi tarjolla varsin mielenkiintoinen Bruce haastattelu vuodelta 2001.
Esim. Halfordin: Resurection albumin "The One You Love To Hate" oli tehty Dickinsonin soololevyä ajatellen!

Tuo oli mielenkiintoinen, Gers kertoo näistä paljonpuhutuista sooloista. Että ei se mitään ryöväilyä ole "Minä soitan tämän, sinä saat kompata, ähäkutti" Vaan Adrian yksinkertaisesti sanoo "soita sinä tämä soolo"

Mielenkiintoinen thunderstick haastis!

Tehty 7.9.2005


mm.
B: Well it's like when Bruce was gonna rejoin us when we reformed [in 1999]. We were talking genuinely and regularly to Bruce on the phone and he was getting a bit disillusioned with his own solo project and we'd written some new material, in fact the material that's around now that hasn't been released [yet]. Paul sent it to him and he said "Yeah, I love it, I've got some ideas for it" and all that kind of thing. And he did a gig at the Astoria, we went up and saw him and we were sitting talking to him and it was actually getting really quite serious. We said "look, we've got this gig in New Jersey coming up, how about if you do it with us?" and he said "Yeah, alright, ok". And about two weeks later it was in the papers that he'd rejoined Iron Maiden, and you just say "you two-faced fuckin' bastard..."
M: Would you like to have a get-together with Bruce and sort things out?
B: If I really had to..... [laughter] No, I've got nothing against Bruce other than the fact that he didn't look after Samson. He has made a lot of money and I'm not envious of the money he's got, it doesn't worry me how much bloody money he's got or whether he flies his own plane... What does worry me and upsets me is that he never ever gave the recognition to Samson. He bought the rights to the Samson albums and the packaging [of the Airraid 1999 reissues] was disgusting and the pressing was disgusting. They even spelt the name wrong and put "Samsom" with an M! And that's Bruce's input, thank you very much! We've never been accounted to properly and yet you find Samson albums all over the world. And the more that Iron Maiden are doing the more that people understand that once upon a time Bruce Dickinson was with this band called Samson and they buy the material and yet we've never had any money of it ever since they own it and they owned it back in '81. We don't get accounted to or anything. And it's just a really sad story. I'm not expecting to be a millionaire out of it but just even if there'd been a few grand, you know. We worked it out once upon a time that it was roughly £60000 we were owed between the three of us.


Oli siis reunion suunnitteilla Brucen kanssa mutta maiden nappas sitten taas edestä..

Hyvä että nappasi. Tuskin meinaan Maidenia enää olisi jos Bruce ja Adrian eivät olisi palanneet bändiin. Mielenkiintoinen haastis.

[Black_Adder]

^Muistaakseni Brucelta kysyttiin Samsonin reunionista Jyrkissä 1998 ja herra kertoi että mikäli Samson tekee paluun se tulee olemaan ainoastaan jonkilainen kiertue tai vastavaa, eikä tuo olisi ollut mikään pysyvä ratkaisu. Näin siis muistan Bruce turisseen...

Täällä vähän ikävää tekstiä brucelta



http://www.ironmaiden.org/showthread.php?t=67789



Intresting quotes from Bruce interview about TOS (Rock Hard, Greece, Iss.#1, July 05)
Two months after it was issued, the first issue of the greek Rock Hard magazine fell in my hands. To my suprise, there was an intresting Dickinson interview in it. Here are the most important stuff from it. The rest is about TOS, things we've read a number of times before regarding the album...

"Between us [Bruce and Roy] there is a very good chemistry. I can't explain it better, I just love him (in contrast with Kevin Shirley, who "sits on my throat" [that is the expression used in the greek text. It means "who irritates me"]!"

"I am very relaxed when working with Roy. He pays great attention to the guitars and the vocal lines and when the two don't sound in harmony, then he'll work on it until they do. Other bands, on the other hand... (pauses)... for example Maiden have never worked this way. Even when a part of a song didn't sound good or didn't sound in harmony with the rest, it stayed in the song"

"In the meantime I had accepted it, that there are many parts in Maiden songs which aren't sung too pleasurably but one way or another are a part of Maiden's music. This unflexible and tough elent belongs to the trademarks of the band and noone can change it. It's like somebody comes up to you and says: 'Hey guys, from the moment that you all play in Iron Maiden, you should all wear the same shoes!' And what happens if those shoes don't fit you? OK, maybe 'famous' shoes are confining. On my own album, on the other hand, I could try out anything I wanted to. When the shoes didn't weren't a perfect fit, we'd change into other ones. This doesn't mean that Maiden's way is wrong, simply that I didn't have the opportunity to adjust the songs to my voice. As is natural, I feel better about my own productions."

Jonkin verran juu miehelle kertynyt Maidenin levyjä. Täytyy olla jo suhteellisen monta eri versiota samasta levystä kun niitä kerran yli 500 on.

Johan selvisi se kuka tuossa number of the beastissa juoksi lavalle, ei näköjään sittenkään ollut mikään umpihullu

[Iron Constable]

^^^Todellakin mielenkiintoista tekstiä !

Siinähän Bruce itse sanoi, miksi esim. Dance of Deathilla Brucen laulu ei kuulosta minun korvaani kovin hyvältä, vaan välillä hivenen väkisin väänneltyltä. Ja miksi taas Tyranny of Soulsilla mies kuulostaa paremmalta kuin koskaan.

Siksi, koska DODilla laulu ON väkisin väännettyä ja TOSilla hommat on tehty kuten Bruce haluaa. No, onhan se toisaalta vähän hassua, jos laulajan pitää laulaa siten, kuin "tavaramerkki" edellyttää, vaikka se ei äänelle sopisikaan. Jaa, Brucen juttuja

[Lappis]

^ Jos tuo nyt uutena uutisena sulle tuli, olen ihmeissäni.

Muistele hetki, minkä takia Bruce aikoinaan bändistä erosi? Syitä oli varmasti monia mutta yksi suurimmista oli juurikin tuo, että mies halusi tehdä, mitä lystäsi. Oli siis kyllästynyt raiskaamaan ääntään

[Iron Constable]

^Ole vaan. Enpä ole koskaan lukenut Brucelta tuollaisia kommentteja, edes silloin, kun hutkivat Steven kanssa toisiaan lehdistössä eron jälkeen. Johan tuon nyt on pystynyt omalla herneellään ja korvillaan päättelemään, mutta mielenkiintoista on nimenomaan se, että herra lausuu noita totuuksia juuri nyt, kun kaikki on muuten niin "hyvin".

Capish ?

Bruce Dickinson
Special Interview in Japan
(from "Burrn!" Magazine, August 1997)


T - Taka Okuno
B - Bruce Dickinson

T: Accident Of Birth got brilliant responses from fans who have supported
you, Bruce, for a long time and also from Iron Maiden fans.
B: Yeah, I know. But the idea of this album was different. I wanted to do
some experimental things. A long time passed since the beginning of my
solo career and I really didn't know if this heavy metal record will be
good or not. The music we created in the early times of Iron Maiden was
really great. So I tried everything to avoid making a metal record
until releasing 2 or 3 albums.

T: Probably that's the reason why there're some elements of Skunkworks in
your Accident Of Birth album. I guess songs like "Freak" or
"Starchildren" sound more modern and closer to the Skunkworks times.
B: Yes, I agree. All the people who listened to this record told me that it
sounds great and that they enjoyed it. But all of these responses were
different. Some people said, "It's great because it sounds like Iron
Maiden", a lot of them said, "The aura of the whole album reproduces the
best years of Iron Maiden." It's very interesting for me to know what my
fans think about the album. I think that doing it helped me to overcome
myself. This album compiles everything I've done through the Maiden years
and in my solo carrier. This is my best album so far. It would cause me a
lot of problems when I will record the follow-up. (laughs)

T: You composed two songs on this album together with Adrian Smith. For
example, "Road To Hell" is in the vein of the fast Maiden tracks like
"The Evil That Men Do", "2 Minutes To Midnight" or "Moonchild".
B: Yeah, it was supposed to.

T: But I feel that in some songs like "Welcome To The Pit" you and Adrian
tried the opposite like bringing new modern elements of Skunkworks and
Psycho Motel kind of stuff.
B: Well, I've tried to make a new metal record and was surprised how
interesting it was doing it. Me and Roy began writing and in a week we
completed 5 tracks. I enjoed making demos very much and it turned out great.
So I felt that it's time to make a metal record. That's why I phoned to
Adrian saying, "You will not believe me but I'm doing a metal record right
now". I sent him a demo-tape and asked to play guitar parts on the record
if he was interested. 24 hours later Adrian phoned me and said, "It's
awesome. I've got some riff ideas." (laughs) It was the right time for the
two of us. You can wonder if we're going to continue together. The answer
is yes. (laughs) We'll be doing the same stuff on the next album with Roy
and Adrian. But it will be a step further. Also it's very important for
us not to make absolutely the same record again. Maybe we'll use keyboards
on the next album. I think it would be really cool using some classical
elements with a Hammond organ like Deep Purple's one.

T: Strings in "Man Of Sorrows" and "Arc Of Space" sound really effective.
Whose idea was to use it?
B: "Man Of Sorrows" is the oldest song on the whole album, it's been written
5 years ago. The original demo was recorded in a 24-track studio to be used
in a soundtrack. But the movie wasn't even done. During the production of
that soundtrack I gave a tape with the gothic version of that song to a
guy responsible for the whole project. From the beginning I used sampling
and included it in that demo. Finally, instead of using strings with
an orchestra we used strings and mellatron together with cello and violin.
The arrangements in "Arc Of Space" were created by me and Roy. Roy played
mellatron and we asked an orchestra musician to play it for the record.

T: Speaking about "mellatron", do you mean the mellatron which is used by
Moody Blues and King Creamson?
B: Yes, that's it. Me and Roy are long time fans of synthesizers. We wanted
to use many instruments on this album and among them was the good old
synthesizer. It was the same guy who played on The Dark Side Of The Moon.
Plugging it into the soundboard, we used no keyboards. It was absolutely
direct recording. It was a really great mechanizm. In the beginning, there
were some industrial parts on this album like on the first version of
"Accident Of Birth". It was a kind of "percussive industrial". The same
thing was with "Starchildren". There're two more songs containing it but
it's shown very good in those two tracks ("Starchildren" and "Accident
Of Birth").

T: Two of your guitarists have different styles but their combination soudns
really awesome.
B: Yeah, you're right. Adrian played the way he likes to. I haven't seen him
for a long time playing with such a pleasure. There was no pressure from
the outside, so he just relaxed and played and it turned out great. The
way Roy did his work was different from Adrian. Adrian played for too long
but Roy recorded all his parts at one take. In "Magician" there were three
different portions and Roy played his part holding the guitar behind his
head. (laughs) He did it while sitting on the table. He's really crazy
but great at the same time.

T: Speaking of the lyrics they were very dark on Skunkworks...
B: Oh, I was very upset. (laughs)

T: With this album you turned to wide science fiction themes. So you
decided to write dramatic lyrics to fit the songs, didn't you?
B: Yes. When me and Roy began writing songs it was already decided to come
back to heavy metal. That's why I turned again to all the ideas about
stories in the songs and decided to write something like fairytales or
science fiction stories. I wanted to do it for too long. Originally, I
began playing music because I wanted to transfer stories into songs. On
Skunkworks I was very attentive to everything. Quite the same thing was
with Balls To Picasso. But in times of Skunkworks I was very angry and my
anger and frustration were revealed in lyrics. But I'm not gonna be the
same again. I did it on Skunkworks because I had to but now there's
nothing left of that sadness. (laughs) That's why I returned to stories.
But I was aware of it for more than 2 years. Nevertheless I did it
brilliant and now my crazy stories appear one after another.

T: Whose idea was to invite Derek Riggs (an artist who did most of Iron
Maiden covers) for drawing the cover artwork? In the previous interview
you told about a student of art school doing the cover for you and you
said that his pictures were scary.
B: Yeah, they were really scary. (laughs) I had a person called "Eddison"
on my mind and I explained this idea to my manager for 30 seconds on the
phone. It took me 2 years to create him. The album was already completed
and I took a week off while the mastering was being done. Right then my
manager rang me and asked, "What cover do you want?" I said I hadn't
thought about it. Then I don't know how I thought of a crazy person and
named him Eddison. But I had no lamps and at the end of November went to
England. When coming back I made a photo of a puppet somewhere. At first
I wanted to place the photo on the cover but then rejected the idea
because of the photo itself. A girl called Gilroy (my art director)
advised me to call Derek Riggs and I did it. He agreed immediately and
drew some pictures you can see on the Accident Of Birth album and on the
Man Of Sorrows single. Eddison became a base for design. I liked the
production very much, Derek grows all the time in different directions
which he always keeps to himself.

T: Is it going to become your trademark like it was in Iron Maiden with
Eddie?
B: Definitely yes. But I'd like him to be more friendly than the Iron
Maiden's one. There're a lot of plans now. I think of making him an image
of a real person. (laughs) He'll be thrilling and interesting. (laughs)

T: By the way, you said that your new album could be compared to The Number
Of The Beast. Can you explain it a little more definitely?
B: OK. At first I felt it when listening. My thoughts were like, "It's a
classic album." Of course, I like all of my solo albums but here we have
something special. It's much better than other records. There's no doubt
that the rest of my albums have some cool songs on it. For example, "Tears
Of The Dragon" is really awesome. But this album is an absolutely
completed album in its sound, performance of the band, tracks and even
in the artwork. Honestly speaking, I could not even think that it'd turn
out to be so great. I feel great about it and I am really satisfied with
the result.

T: The rest of the Iron Maiden members also say quite often when they are
satisfied with a record that they tried to follow The Number Of The Best.
Seems like that's an outstanding album for them too.
B: There's nothing strange about it. The Number Of The Beast is a real Iron
Maiden masterpiece. Our opinions are quite the same when we compare such
brilliant albums as The Number Of The Beast and Piece Of Mind to the rest.
Although The Number Of The Beast could be one position higher than Piece Of
Mind. During the recording sessions we did something new and Iron Maiden
created this sound for the first time. Also I established my own vocal style
with that album. I think that's the most charming Iron Maiden album. In my
opinion the situation with this Iron Maiden album is the same as it was with
Deep Purple's "In Rock".
