Bruce Dickinson has for years been quite the outspoken chap but as we all learn in life, sometimes the truth when spoke can hurt a little bit. Bruce took time to share the secret as to how his band has been able to stay on top of the world over the years and keep its integrity while doing so. Bruce also took the time to talk about the secret to Iron Maiden’s success and why they’re considered to be one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time. Our good ol’ Bruce Bruce also had a few charming words to say about why he believes that Iron Maiden is just a better band than ol’ tired out Metallica:
“You’ve just got to have a sense of fearlessness,” says Bruce. “I got into trouble for saying that we’re better than METALLICA… and, it’s true! They might be bigger than us and they might sell more tickets than us and they might get more gold-plated middle-class bourgeoisie turning up to their shows but they’re not MAIDEN. I did say it’s a bit of a wind-up. I thought, if I’m going to turn into an asshole, I might as well, you know, go for it!”
