- An inspiring and motivating speech on how you can be creative in the modern business world. This talk is given by a man who has been fronting one of the world's most successful metal bands - Iron Maiden.
The speaker and TEDxMalmö have permission to use the third-party content in the video. Bruce Dickinson is the lead singer of Iron Maiden. Iron Maiden is an institution embodying fearless creative independence with a following that spans every culture and generation. Their latest album “The Book Of Souls” (2015) went straight to No 1 across the world in 24 countries, becoming their fastest ever selling album.
In 2012 Dickinson set up Cardiff Aviation, an aircraft maintenance company, which amongst other things, signed an agreement with the Djibouti government to help re-launch their national airline. Dickinson has also invested in the world’s largest aircraft: a hybrid of a plane, balloon and hovercraft, the Airlander 10. He has also created an aircraft fleet as a one-stop solution for airlines to use.
In 2013, Iron Maiden collaborated with Robinsons Brewery in Stockport, England to create Trooper, a 4.8% cask/4.7% bottled ale whose recipe Dickinson formulated with head brewer Martyn Weeks. As of May 2014, the beer has sold 2.5 million pints in 40 countries, making it Robinsons’ most successful export.
Dickinson’s list of accomplishments seems endless and are continuously growing. He has been described as a polymath and now brings together all his creativity and experiences to share with audiences around the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Imagine getting on a British Airways flight and the pilot says over the intercom: "SCREAM FOR ME BRITISH AIRWAYS FLIGHT 777!!"
I was on a flight where they announced 2nd officer Bruce Dickinson.....it was him
I love the irony that the last thing he wants is screaming passengers!!!
The number of the flying beast
@@regbowdrey3388 I've been on one too - they used a fake name on the announcement but we had all seen him in the airport and walking onto the plane.
Flights delayed and trays were raised. Passengers asking why heading to the sky. In the night our captain was polite. Bruce Dickenson's piloting has begun, British Airway's work is done!
You have an AWESOME mind for buisness Bruce thank you for making the time to do this video.
At least he acknowledged Churchill was nuanced instead of ignoring it. Because that’s the real problem, lack of nuance.
Love Bruce Dickinson. I was fortunate enough to see Maiden in concert twice back in the eighties. He is a man of many talents and looks to be a terrific business man.
A lot lot lot estimate for this man. Bruce you really are an extraordinary man, your voice is enough to make my hair stand on my arms. MANY THANKS BRUCE FOR ALL EMOTIONS THAT YOU GAVE ME !!
I think this is Bruce's interview for a knighthood
l admire Bruce so much. True inspiration
26 times I've seen them the best band in the world
Good stuff. Inspirational person. Thanks Bruce.
OH YEAH 🇧🇷
There’s one thing to sell Gap shirts and then there’s selling your own band Tees.
He didn’t ask for it, but I obviously scream for him.
But you’re not in Long Beach 😂
Bobby Bier's 😂😂😂
The trooper be like
@@g99se9
I attended one of those 4 shows at Long Beach Arena.
Long haired Bruce is more positive Bruce
And a better speaker! 😄
😂😂😂😂😂
Can you imagine what it is like to Captain a 747 for long hours, the concentration it takes, staying alert and awake. And then that evening get on stage and do a 2 hour set. For month after month. The man has the fitness, drive and stamina of no one else on Earth. Truly legendary.
A good organisation, planning, team of personal trainers in various fields...
Drugs?
Yes and no as he has two other pilots so they take breaks and modern aircraft fly auto pilot 90% of the time. Solo piloting small aircraft is very demanding. Your praise for Bruce us noble but he's not some superman he's just had time to work with personal trainers and dieticians.
@@glennoc8585 He has his own FO and another complete backup crew as do all long haul flights. And depending on what plane, an engineer. Of course he is not flying the plane constantly. And to say you just kick your shoes off when the Autopilot is on is disingenuous. It still takes huge amounts of concentration to monitor the gauges, flight plan, fuel flow, distractions from the rear, sterile cockpit below 10,000 feet. You have to be 100% on the ball the whole time.
So yes he isn't flying the plane constantly, and I would have thought if he has a 2 hour show on consecutive days, the relief crew take over.
I know he is not "superhuman", but to fly a very complicated aircraft like an older 747-400, and then to do a 2 hour set, jumping and running around on stage as he does, well he is unbelievably fit, strong willed, well trained, and legendary.
If you were to say to me, tell me someone who you think is superhuman, I would say Bruce is a great example.
@@MrBillUp Not playing it down but the 747 that he was flying would have had the full instrument upgrade. I would've thought he'd have had a captain as copilot with their budget and an FO for change over. I'd be surprised if Bruce would do a show after being PIC on a long haul without a nights sleep. He was fitter back then he doesn't fly the heavies i believe he just flies on a ppl these days.
this man is truly one of a kind...
He's driven and successful but I've met quite a few guys like Bruce over the years. Being in a band have Bruce the financial means to go on to other things and expensive pursuits. I know a guy that is s businessman, pilot of helicopters and fixed wing and also plays in a cover band. Sure not the fame and fortune of Bruce but still a rich guy. It's doable if you're driven and get a good start from an early age.
@Samson 92 At first I thought you hadn't left anything out, but then I remembered "Flying heavy metal", a series of tv shows about airplanes. So I guess we should add TV presenter.
@Samson 92 I just watched it. Yep, it's Bruce being Bruce. He can make just about anything interesting.
Bruce is an absolute inspiration to myself and many many people especially our young people. It’s his work ethic and willingness to squeeze every last drop out of life that I find so motivating. I don’t even have to go on about the music which speaks for itself, brilliant guy
Ha ha ha
Bruce has more talent in his little finger that most modern pop musicians have in their whole body
Amen! ❤️🤘🔥
U don't even have to say that we already knew
And 10 times the intelligence

Imagine a world of Dickinsons instead of Bezos and Musks...That's the world I want!
I think the world can use some more Musks too imo😉
How are bezos and Musk harming you??
@@rikishi555 ignore. just a bunch of commies who don't understand how the world works
@@rikishi555 How about worker exploitation? Customer satisfaction at the expense of other people. Awesome.
@@rikishi555 musk is ok but ppl that know him know better then send between him and money.... but besos is just scumbag. Ask how he treats Amazon workers. It's just glorified labor camp.
When Bruce was born the doctors said to his parents, congratulations it’s a man.
It's THE man
😂😂😂😂😂👍
That was the coolest ted talk ever made...
Totally agree 👍
I am a long time Iron Maiden fan, I listened to them with Paul Di' Anno. When Bruce debuted in the Number Of The Beast album in 1982 it was one of my greatest music listening experiences I have ever had. I remember standing in line for 2 hours waiting to buy the record, at that time Iron Maiden had no radio air play on the US. And When I went home to play the record with my friends, we were all blown away. I have been an Iron Maiden fan since those days and I still listen them.
I'm reminded of why I have long admired Bruce Dickinson. Up the irons!
He’s a bit fab. So positive and knowledgeable.
Up the irons!!!
Up the irons.
Bruce is the best example of the definition of the journeyman.
How slick is Bruce? He does an "inspirational TED talk" which is actually a commercial in disguise for all his products. Absolutely brilliant.
Not at all
@@SEbdeViaje yeah. Totally! Beer!!
I was thinking the same thing…when he got to the beer!
I was seeing it as a message of improving things for the future.
That's actually alot of tedtalks lately...
Maybe the best metal band EVER, Iron Maiden. If you have never heard Iron Maiden music...plz check out song, Infinite Dreams....it's not too "heavy" not too "light", but juuuust right. Lyrics, guitars, bass, vocals. Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great album. One of my favorites of all time. Seventh Son is one of those albums that Doesnt have a bad song on it. Absolutely no filler. Great suggestion, I second it, to anyone wanting to get to know Maiden.
Up the Irons!
We heard you loud and clear Bruce. Drink more beer and start eating drones
I’m starting tonight 🍺✈️🍴
Exceptional comment.
Imagination is the source of all things. Bruce knows this.
Truest word's I've ever heard and used....
Imagination is the source of evolution.
Again, a perfect example on why this man is an idol to me.
Agreed 👍
Awesome to hear a rock star who actively cultivates success outside of the arena. Too many rockers go broke, forgetting that show business is, in fact, first-and-foremost, a business. Great job, Bruce. Up the irons! Cheers from America.
"An unpleasant man with a toothbrush moustache." :D You're putting it way too nice, Bruce.
SCREAM FOR ME TEDX!!!
Don’t forget Cancer survivor as well. I’ve been a fan since my teenage years and I have always been interested in finding out about the folks in the band. I also fenced in school which , kinda made me a bigger fan of Bruce. Growing up around airplanes with my grandpa and finding out that Bruce was a pilot just put it over the top. He’s The Man. Much love to all and to Bruce and the Band!
You could put his picture next to the word ”brilliant” in any dictionary. This man’s truly one of a kind.
I love Bruce Dickinson so much, he is the definition of a great human being.
Cool montage:
10 seconds later
Bruce: Hello i'm Bruce with green screen
"what can I do?"....in the face of a pandemic rather than "what can't I do?". I needed that light right now, Thanks Bruce!
Pandemic! Ha
@@SonnyGTA you ! ha
The most down to earth brilliant man in the world .
Until we need to fight the AI. When we do, and if I die, I will die with my boots on.
"Die with your boots on if your gonna die."
Bruce Dickinson'
The members of this great band are GIANTS from another time. The quality, quantity, and deep relevance of the music they produce, over the span they have produced it, is legendary.
I met Nicko a couple times. Such a wonderful person. Introduced me to vinegar on fries (chips) at his barbecue restaurant.
Why hasn't this man had a knighthood?
Best singer in metal and a very nice guy. I got to meet him a few times.
TWOTW!!!
Bruce is a brilliant, amazing human being. I've never seen so much energy from a singer on stage. Their new video Writing on the Wall is an absolute MUST watch. Cheers!
The show that mostly appears is Rock In Rio 2019 🤘🏻🇧🇷
Man I was listening to Tears of the dragon a few mins earlier & You tube recommended me this…
FYI I’ve had Trooper beer and it’s not just a novelty it’s really good beer
Good to know... maybe I'll actually open one of mine tonight.
Better then Metallica's Stone Brewing pilsner lol
Yeah, had one here in Perú yesterday. Good quality beer for 4 us dollars.
The “Hallowed” brew is 🏁
It truly is delicious!
The worst thing about this TEDx Talks is that it ends :( Bruce is a really amazing human being, you can feel his energy when he speaks!
He's right about technology, that's for sure. There's a whole generation of people who ARE the very slaves to technology he spoke about.
It is SO, VERY rewarding to be an Iron Maiden fan… This, being one of the *many* reasons. Positive thinking, and positive change… The most out of life, always.
Up the irons!!!
\m/, (*o*) ,\m/
God his energy and charisma is so infectious! What a terrific man he is. So intelligent and funny. Love Bruce and his Iron Maiden mates. I’m petrified of flying but if Bruce is captaining that flight then I’m on it! 👨✈️😍
I am surprisede he is not doing a shoot for Dos Equis, this guy is the world's most interesting man, all time A league frontman
And as world's most interesting man he don't drink no Dos Equis. He's got his own beer line: trooper ale, fear of the dark stout.
Iron Maiden is the best metal band ever!! I took my 11 year old son to the Legacy of the Beast in Las Vegas and he was blown away by how amazing they sounded. I've seen Maiden 6 times going back to 1987. Bruce is incredible!!!
2:25 ...and that's because we are all BLOOD BROTHERS!!!
*Steve Harris plays the intro.
burdayız :)
virüs bitecek, yine ön sıradan haykıracağız blood brothers diye :)
There is no other Bruce. So many talents.
Polymath.
Bruce Jenner....
BD would roller blade in the parking lot and sing the whole song set before the concert. To stay in shape and to give the people a great concert
After listening to this, I felt something I haven't felt in a LONG time, and that is British pride!
A true lion of a man and an ambassador for creativity, no matter in what form!
Do it people, keep your eyes on the prize and ONLY surround yourself with those who offer you support,
because the rest are holding you back!
Bravo Mr Dickinson, and long may you reign!
I leave... Inspired. 🌞🇬🇧
A brilliant character, full of positive energy. Shook his hand 2 years ago butno time enough for a conversation. The pride of the metal scene.
Never understood how IQ is measured; however Bruce is just smart, besides taking the word hard-working to a new level. Exceptional!
A commercial pilot, a TV host, a professional fencer, a businessman, a heavymetal frontman, a husband, a father, what more in a man could u possibly ask for?
This man is my favorite person in the whole world
Bruce, great as always! An inspiring life
Imagine being Bruce Dickinson, or another Iron Maiden member, and being able to wake up each day and think “I’m in Iron Maiden!”
Love this guy & it's funny seeing him restraining himself 🤣 he is bursting to run around that studio 🤣🤣
What fun would it be to spend a day with Bruce just listening to the ideas in his head and how someone like him could influence the younger generation of kids today to get off the I-pads and video games. Bruce also has a huge knowledge of history and what's gone on and come before and he would make a great teacher, shame more don't listen to men like him.
Instead of passenger flights into space can we invest in finding a way to send passengers into Bruce's brain for a day. I'd like a look around..
What a legend 🤘🤘
An epic TED talk I'll actually listen to
A truly inspiring sharing and remember kids, great innovation and ideas can come from pubs haha. Supporting Trooper beer all the way from Singapore, Up the Irons!
I could listen to Bruce talk from this moment, until the end of my days. An inspiration in so many ways and an incredible storyteller.
As a metal fan, Bruce has always represented us well. I have always admired his sheer will and determination and his strong work ethic. I was them once and it was apparent Bruce was quite sick. Yet he preformed the entire concert and had to be carried off stage. 2 days later he was hospitalized for pneumonia. Only a doctor could keep Bruce from a stage. While many younger performers won't perform if they get a hang nail.
Amongst other things, he fought a cancer… this guy is a modern hero
“When I wrote ‘Run to the Hills” I was referring to the gold up there. So, me and Eddie headed to Northern California with some shovels and now I use words like ‘conviviality’ and Eddie owns a plastic surgery clinic.”
I did not watch the the singer for Iron Maiden looking for a side project. I watched a TED Talk of a genius who happens to be the singer for Iron Maiden.
Genius. He is a big thinker and just what we need in this time.
Thank goodness for his charisma to share his mind’s eye.
Guy is the frontman of one of the world's biggest bands...still has a day job as an airline pilot.
Had he's retired from commercial aviation now probably due to his age.
Bruce Dickinson - A true renaissance man.
Bruce is definitely on the list of celebrities I'd most like to have a pint with.
Such a good businessman and visionary that he didn't realise leaving the European Union meant leaving the European Union
He's not a very clever man
"Yaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwnnnnnnnn!" (Smacks lips 3 times)
Was there a script for this, or did Bruce just busk it? Very entertaining.
I fervently hope he was talking in code whenever he mentioned ‘the virus’. I’d expect no less from Iron Maiden than an almighty 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻 to the whole thing. The unifying slogan should be borrowed not from IM, perhaps, but RATM: “F**k you, I won’t do what you tell me.”
Chuck Norris , Arnold, and The Most Interesting Man in the Word ( the Dos EQuis guy ) all agree - Bruce Rocks ! UP THE IRONS !!
So, in summation: If you're gonna die, die with your boots on, If you're gonna try, well, stick around. Gonna cry, just move along….
OMG, there is plenty of gold between the lines! The guy has mastered so many crafts! Let’s create a new world, a better world, TOGHETER!!!! 😃🤘😃🤘😃🤘 Up the Irons!
A *Brave New World* if you will
Bruce is not only the greatest frontman of all time but he is also the knower of all things
I’m pretty sure he’s wise enough to know what he doesn’t know.
2:48 "Technology marches on and we think that the future is technology; the future is humanity."
Never mind the metal for a moment; one genius.
A true Renaissance man. What a legend
Ok, I have watched this till the very end I don't understand what was the theme of his 'presentation'. Apart from bragging and throwing in cheesy motivational lines it really makes no sense. C'mon Bruce , it's becoming pathetic.
😮❤! thank you sir for this incredibly importaint pearl! holy f..
You get on a plane and the pilot is Bruce. You're a metal agnostic, not familiar with metal really, and he's whispering the lyrics to Hallowed By Thy Name. You start clawing at the parachute case...
Many a happy Donington in that crowd, 1988 LOL! Good that you are still kickin' mate. Still got my copy of Lord Iffy Boatrace book too lol
I went to the warm up gig as well!
Bruce for Prime Minister. 👌
Would he get unpaid holiday for a tour? kkkk
@@RafaAchnitz I'll bet Bruce could run the country better than it is currently - while on tour with the band! ("o) \m/
Very inspiring. I am currently part of a small business and some of what Bruce said spoke directly to me. Up The Irons!
This is a man with great vision, and amazing will. I grew up listening to Iron Maiden at a time when they were being called Satanists. This is the best case of "Never judge a book by its cover." My first Maiden show was in 1988, and I've seen them in concert 3 more times since then. Bruce Dickinson. You are truly an inspiration to us all.
Me too my history teacher called me the satanic girl. He said I was a bad influence on the rest on the classroom students because the all started to wear their iron Maiden T-shirts.
I knew he was a pilot but thought he just became a pilot to fly the band around on tour. Had no idea he was actually employed by an airline for almost two decades. Now I wonder if I’ve ever flown on a plane piloted by him.
Bruce deserves a Knighthood !!! Iron Maiden deserves to be in the rock and roll hall of fame !!!!! Up the irons !!!
Nah, they don't need validation from a crown or Rolling Stone magazine.
Been following Iron maiden since I was 14 yrs old. I’m 38 now
Been a Maiden fan since grade 8 and I was also an airline pilot for the past 20 years until the Covid pandemic. Thank you for the inspirational talk Mr.Dickinson..you’re a bloody legend mate 🍻
It's not an aberration it's a global culling by the predator class
This man is an absolute inspiration to me, Grande Bruce! Greetings from México!
Seen Maiden 48 times so far, every single show, was a 10!!! 🤘🤘
I’m very envious. You’re very lucky. 😃
Oooooh jealous. They came to my town 4 or 5 years ago but I didn’t get a chance to go
Must be som sort of record. I’m 27, saw them 6 times in my first 15 years of life, since then haven’t been able to go. Need to see them soon. No band is better live.
Bruce Dickinson the greatest epic singer and person in my universe... love you my friend
Perfect example of a metalhead musician that can be successful. Up the Irons!!
Bruce, great inspiring talk ! thanks !
Bruce Dickinson is the Chuck Norris of Chuck Norris.
