Bruce Dickinson

The seventh solo studio album from the iconic Iron Maiden vocalist is his first in nearly 20 years, following 2005's Tyranny of Souls. The album was co-written and produced by Roy Z (Judas Priest, Sepultura), who also contributes guitars and bass; Puddle of Mudd's Dave Moreno plays drums. Dickinson continues his fascination with classic literature, ancient cultures, myths, and legends, with an overarching fantasy concept which is also the basis for an accompanying comic book series.

Samson was a very cool New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) band that was active from 1977 to 1984, though there were several reunions after that. Iron Maiden rendered Samson a footnote, as mega-vocalist Bruce Dickinson did time with the band prior to hooking up with Eddie’s crew. Early Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr was in Samson for a bit, too. The 1986 compilation Head Tactics was an effort to profit from Dickinson’s superstar status, which makes sense. It’s a good album and a must have for NWOBHM fans.

Scream for Me Sarajevo is the story of the most unlikely of rock concerts, performed by Bruce Dickinson in 1994, in the midst of the Siege of Sarajevo. This is a film about extraordinary people defying the horrors of war, and the musicians who risked their lives to play a show for them. This documentary features footage from the historic gig, recent interviews with Bruce, the band, crew, security and also the people of Sarajevo that lived through the war.

"Ero brufoloso, portavo la giacca a vento e dei jeans a zampa di elefante con Purple e Sabbath scritto a penna sulle cosce, e guidavo un motorino scassato e rumorosissimo. E sì, volevo diventare un batterista…" Bruce Dickinson, leggendario frontman degli Iron Maiden, è uno dei più iconici cantanti e autori della storia. Ma oltre a vantare una carriera musicale di grande successo, è anche pilota di linea per una compagnia aerea, imprenditore, speaker motivazionale, produttore di birra, scrittore, deejay radiofonico, sceneggiatore per il cinema, e come se non bastasse è anche un campione di scherma a livello internazionale: davvero uno degli uomini più eccezionali e interessanti del mondo. "A cosa serve questo pulsante?" è molto più di un memoir: è una riflessione sugli alti e bassi della vita..
