Another fun fact: Bruce flew commercial airliners for Astraeus Airlines in his time off stage for many years. So actually, quite a few people were flown to or from their summer vacatations by Bruce. He now owns an aviation company (and also makes beer btw.) :-D
for a time you could also fly with bruce on ed force one but the airline got a run in africa and the africans refused to get on the plane and so the livery was removed. he is also a novelist and has cardiff aviation fixing planes and had a podcast, and a bbc dj show and has trained pilots.
I also have to share this with you about Bruce. He had throat cancer 5-6 years ago. He felt a lump on his neck, he googled it and found that he most likely had cancer, and he still decided to finish "The Book Of Souls" album with the band before saying anything to them. After he finished the album, he got checked by a doctor, confirmed he had cancer, and after defeating the cancer through treatment, he got back to singing with the band! This is Bruce himself telling the story in an interview. :P
he was not the only pilot.laws require a pilot to not work for 12 hours before a flight. nicko is also a pilot, the first. bruce on his night with b tour told a funny story about being stranded after missing a flight and calling nicko to fly over to get them from the jersey island.
Keep it up with the Iron Maiden reactions! You two are adorable, I enjoy your IM reactions. I've been an IM fan since 1984. Yes, Bruce flew them on several tours in their very own 747. More fun facts, Steve Harris flies his soccer team to play other teams on tour like Brazil, etc. There's a couple CNN IM specials that are interesting. Also, don't know if you knew but Bruce battled throat cancer during the production of Book of Souls. Honestly, they are all incredible. They all have had successful careers besides music. Bruce was actually a commercial airline pilot.
Thousands if hours of flight time as a pilot, certified to fly Boeing 737, 757 and 747s. Very interesting story for anyone interested in aircraft or logistics. First time a 757 was ever converted to carry both cargo (entire stage set) and passengers in the main passenger deck. Anything but a trivial undertaking, and Dickinson was at the controls. The Maiden documentaries on this are fantastic.
At Reading Festival in 2005, when he introduced the band at the end of the concert (like he always does), when Bruce introduced Nicko last, I got everyone there to chant Nicko, Nicko, Nicko, the band loved it, you could see the ‘what the…’ expression on their faces as that’s never happened to them before, everybody be loves Nicko (ppppppffffffttttttt What-o)
Bruce is a certified pilot. He is flying the band’s Boeing. He is also a TV personality. He had a show on BBC about history of aviation and another one about metal music
During their Book of Souls tour, their 1st stop of the tour was in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I remembered watching local news here in Florida. All news channels showing their plane, 747 aka Ed Force One landing at Ft. Lauderdale Airport for their opening stop on February 24, 2016. My friends went to that concert, but I was unable to go.......
Bruce is by definition a polymath; in that he excels in multiple fields. Musician, athlete, aviator, plus he’s also a beer producer, documentary maker, author, motivational speaker, innovation guru, businessman... list goes on. Most importantly he’s also a cancer survivor; biggest achievement yet. If you’ve not yet, get his Autobiography and give it a read. Legend.
I'm a new SUB to y'alls channel, and At 54 I was blessed to have been able to see these POWERHOUSE HEAVY METAL BANDS "LIVE" between "81" "89" like.. Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Judas' Priest, DIO, WASP, Van Helen, Ratt, Crue, Dokken, and list keeps going.. great job guys..
Bruce is basically a god in human form 😂 he does practically everything. If we had him as prime minister in the UK he would sort every problem, kill COVID and still make it on time for an Iron Maiden gig 🤣
Yep Bruce Dickinson is a licensed commercial pilot and is certified as a captain on the 757/747. He flew for Astraeus Airlines when he left the band in the 1990s and continued through the early 2000s. He has since retired.
I used to play RPG games a lot when I was younger. First months of when WoW came out, Dark Age of Camelot, Lineage... and this was the background music for me. Roaming around in these games then was a pure journey :) Hope to see these guys when the covid thing goes away.
Yes the iron maiden plain were the band flies from city to county as well on tour i have seen Iron maiden in consort in south America and it was amazing and full of people 😀 and great songs 🎵 amazing guitar solos drums bass vocals and so much more the crowd whent wild and so did i but tickets 🎟 are hard to find a after that i saw dreamtheather both bands were excellent my dad took me to see them and I was worth it 👌 rock metal will always be true for all lot of fans
You guys should give Bruce's book "what does this button do" a read. Goes in to a lot of detail about the crazy amount of things he can do from his fencing to being a pilot and everything else. I really think you guys would like it
Fact 3 , Bruce is an author. He has two Lord Iffy Boat race books released in the early 90s. Fact 4, Bruce was a DJ on BBC radio. He's also done TV shows. Fact 5, He's a cancer survivor. He had a golf ball sized tumour in the back of his tongue, it was discovered during the recording of The book of souls album.
A school friend of mine was his producer for his radio show....he even gets a mention in his autobiography. And I have my own connection to Maiden.....
Yep, he made the British Olympic Fencing team but could not compete due to Maidens touring commitments, he is a qualified Airline Pilot and the plane he flew the band in was their own 747! He is also a best selling author and has had successful solo albums. Most impressively he beat throat cancer recently 🤘
He didn't fly the whole tour. There were another 5 pilots who worked the tour. Bruce didn't fly every leg of it. Not only would that've been irresponsible and unsafe, there are rules regarding rest hours ...hence the number of pilots used on the tour.
They made an 2 hour long film of the first time they had their own plane. The film is flight 666 and you have reacted to some songs from it. The latest plane was a 747. The plane is called Edd Force One. Bruce usually flies to a venue but I believe cannot always fly out if a venue as cannot pilot a plane force while after a show as I understand it
Yes guys . Stunning emotions in this song definitely Pink FLOYD influences . Travis you are remarkable ! Stunning fan facts that i know (pretty) well eheheh ! Also Nicko the drummer is a very good pilot ! And before Bruce ! But Bruce has always mantained an incredible training ! I love as usual your feels and your faces !! I think Bruce had a proper Vocal Training even in a Classical meaning . This is a sort Sloow of Walzer ! In the video Wasted Years you may See Bruce fancing ! 12'07"-12'13" I love you Travis and Suzi your incredible face is shining ! Love Lady Suzi Stunning Creature Q :-) ahahah "in primis" like an oustanding human being and then because is gorgeous (look at the percussionist dancing movements between 6'50" 7'00" ahahah she is doing beat and upbeat with accents with her entire head movement) ! Travis the same ! P. S. Nicko is highly technical . Travis your vote is 10 out of 10 ahahah
You should search on google for “Iron Maiden 747 Zürich”. Then you can see the plane “Ed Force One” with the plane of german Cancellor Angela Merkel in Front 😉
You guys need to react Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter (Live At Donington 1992) or Sign Of The Cross (Rock In Rio 2001) by Iron Maiden Even Tears Of The Dragon by the frontman Bruce Dickinson
Any chance of hearing some Montrose! I would love to see you both react to Bad Motor Scooter! You guys have become my favorite reaction channel. Ed Force One is the name of thier plane!
✨Bruce Dickinson🛫🛩so intelligent and is one of the best and chosen few diamond in rough style thats so rare..that have some really deep! story telling and so fricken! awesome!🌟✨🌟🎩💥🤘💥🤘💥🤘💥🤘🤘💥🤘💥🤘💥🤘💥🤘💥🤘💥🤘

Iron maiden still rocks but with this virus out there it's difficult to see them on tour with a more bands out there so everyone has to be careful and save with this one okay rock fan alex

Guys please.. dont stop doing Iron Maiden reactions .
U just discovering the number 1 band in music industry in general .
Be grateful . Cya
The fan interactions in songs like this and fear of the dark always gives me chills!
Another fun fact: Bruce flew commercial airliners for Astraeus Airlines in his time off stage for many years. So actually, quite a few people were flown to or from their summer vacatations by Bruce. He now owns an aviation company (and also makes beer btw.) :-D
The Trooper Beer!
One hell of a side hustle!
for a time you could also fly with bruce on ed force one but the airline got a run in africa and the africans refused to get on the plane and so the livery was removed. he is also a novelist and has cardiff aviation fixing planes and had a podcast, and a bbc dj show and has trained pilots.
The chills when the crowd sings the chorus...every freakin' time!
I saw them during this tour and when they played this song, i cried cause it was so beautiful
The thin line between love and hate. Beatiful song of iron maiden
I also have to share this with you about Bruce. He had throat cancer 5-6 years ago. He felt a lump on his neck, he googled it and found that he most likely had cancer, and he still decided to finish "The Book Of Souls" album with the band before saying anything to them.

Glad to watch your progress as new Maiden fans!! Welcome to the family!!!🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
he was not the only pilot.laws require a pilot to not work for 12 hours before a flight. nicko is also a pilot, the first. bruce on his night with b tour told a funny story about being stranded after missing a flight and calling nicko to fly over to get them from the jersey island.
So glad you did this reaction
Its a beautiful thing

Yes Bruce is a pilot and also solo career with sixth studio album

One of my all time favorite Maiden songs.
Iron Maiden is band that can't you beat with another band in the world nowadays.
I saw Iron Maiden on the Somewhere in Time Tour and Seventh Son Tour.
I knew the pilot fact but not the fencing one. Thank you for that
Oh man... when you start whit the Bruce's solo stuff... your minds will be blowing.
Yes. His SOLO Career was just OFF THE CHARTS...
Not to mention that Bruce is also a History teacher.
With a DR. infront of his name.
He read history at university. He got a 2:2. He didn't teach history.
Bloody RUclips didn't notify me you had posted new videos... Great reaction! keep up the good work.
Such powerful music and talent, I love the acoustic in this song.
At Reading Festival in 2005, when he introduced the band at the end of the concert (like he always does), when Bruce introduced Nicko last, I got everyone there to chant Nicko, Nicko, Nicko, the band loved it, you could see the ‘what the…’ expression on their faces as that’s never happened to them before, everybody be loves Nicko (ppppppffffffttttttt What-o)
The plane is called Ed force one, like their iconic Eddie man which you’ll see on the album covers, robots and t shirts
Bruce is a certified pilot. He is flying the band’s Boeing. He is also a TV personality. He had a show on BBC about history of aviation and another one about metal music

Never get tired about Maiden. Next could be the Clansman or The Red and the Black
Up the Irons 🔥🤘🏻

Throat cancer didn’t stand a chance! If anything it made him sound better! What a man
Know what I want
Say what I want and nobody can take it away!
Pretty damn on point for the times!

Bruce is basically a god in human form 😂 he does practically everything. If we had him as prime minister in the UK he would sort every problem, kill COVID and still make it on time for an Iron Maiden gig 🤣
He voted for Brexit then moaned about the effects of Brexit though. He's a moron when it comes to politics.
Yep Bruce Dickinson is a licensed commercial pilot and is certified as a captain on the 757/747. He flew for Astraeus Airlines when he left the band in the 1990s and continued through the early 2000s. He has since retired.
And since retirement has started growing his hair again.
I used to play RPG games a lot when I was younger. First months of when WoW came out, Dark Age of Camelot, Lineage... and this was the background music for me. Roaming around in these games then was a pure journey :) Hope to see these guys when the covid thing goes away.

Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera.
If you want more soft maiden, I recommend. 1) Remember Tomorrow 2) Strange World 3) Wasting Love 4) Prodigal Son.
Toped at 7th ranked fencer in England. Missed the olympics to go on tour with Maiden.
I can see we tagged you by Eddie Iron Maiden is Ama,ing
i hope we get to see them some time This year..
Now someone tell them to do The Trooper LIVE from Legacy Of The Beast TOUR 2019,so they can see Bruce fight Eddie with a sword ..
Another fact Bruce Dickinson beat throat cancer back in 2015. He a freaking legend and glad he’s still with us today 🤘🤘
Another fun fact! Bruce was also a Olympic Fencer who won medals! :)
Fact 3 , Bruce is an author. He has two Lord Iffy Boat race books released in the early 90s.
Fact 4, Bruce was a DJ on BBC radio. He's also done TV shows.
Fact 5, He's a cancer survivor. He had a golf ball sized tumour in the back of his tongue, it was discovered during the recording of The book of souls album.
A school friend of mine was his producer for his radio show....he even gets a mention in his autobiography. And I have my own connection to Maiden.....
1st live-video I´ve seen,with Bruce wearing a towel,normally he´s soaked in sweat and just ignores it...
This was the first encore of that tour so he got his breather and dried up.
Yep, he made the British Olympic Fencing team but could not compete due to Maidens touring commitments, he is a qualified Airline Pilot and the plane he flew the band in was their own 747!
He is also a best selling author and has had successful solo albums. Most impressively he beat throat cancer recently 🤘
Fun fact #3. Bruce is also a published author. If you can find a copy his first novel is so funny. It's titled 'The Adventures Of Lord Iffy Boatrace'
Bruce also is an 3 books
Any Maiden fan should know those fun facts
There an amazing band
A couple other more "chill" songs from them, are "Strange World" and "Prodigal Son". Both with their first singer before Bruce.
Bruce also flies on his days off according to Harris
You really should watch the documentary flight 666 it shows him flying the whole tour it's great!!!
He didn't fly the whole tour. There were another 5 pilots who worked the tour. Bruce didn't fly every leg of it. Not only would that've been irresponsible and unsafe, there are rules regarding rest hours ...hence the number of pilots used on the tour.
@@damot1051 my mistake but still so cool that he was the pilot for some of it!
Yes we know he was a champion fencer and pilot. They have the most bad ass paint job on their jet plane too. Eddie is painted on that ✈️
Brilliant.
When you guys get a chance you 'really' need to watch the whole Iron Maiden: Flight 666
They made an 2 hour long film of the first time they had their own plane. The film is flight 666 and you have reacted to some songs from it. The latest plane was a 747. The plane is called Edd Force One. Bruce usually flies to a venue but I believe cannot always fly out if a venue as cannot pilot a plane force while after a show as I understand it
A third fun fact is he’s an author
