Bruce is everything. From a singer to an all-round good guy with a great sense of humour and everything in between. I've watched this interview so much the jokes shouldn't be funny any more but they still are...
Bruce isn't that much of an automotive enthusiast. He's more of an aviation enthusiast. Of all the members of Iron Maiden, they should've invited Nicko McBrain. He drives a bespoke blue Jaguar XKR.
Let me get this straight: John Bonham and Keith Moon were so keen to cut Peter Brampton's hair with a pair of garden shears that, to get at Brampton after he'd locked himself into his hotel room, Bonham got into the room with a fire axe? That is just TOO AWESOME. No wonder those two died so young - the world couldn't contain the win!
I loved this interview so much, circa 2008 I had one of those cool white and orange little Sony Ericsson phones. And I used up the majority of the space on it by recording this interview off my computer screen :) it always made me smile!!!
I've seen this soooo many times...I wonder about myself sometimes, but I see that I'm not the only one who watches this in an almost religious way! Bruce is awesome, I love that guy!!! UP THE IRONS!!!!
After watching this, remember, Iron Maiden was one of the minority of huge 80s bands that *didn't* have some kind of massive problem with substance abuse. Maybe they just got lucky.
Bruce did to a point. He said once that he woke up in Japan with no memory of doing a bunch of shows in Australia the week before and that was the point at which he turned it all around started flying and so on. Of course DiAnno did have a huge drug issue and that is why he was fired very swiftly.
Bruce only ever speaks kindly of Ozzy yet Sharon still tries to claim that the reason she hates him is because he was rude - when we all know it’s because maiden stole the show at Ozz fest lmao.
That's not what happened and no, Dickinson has been a shithead to everyone in the business including Ozzy, dio and even his pal rob Halford. Most people just ignore him and dismiss it as Bruce just having a big mouth, but Sharon who is a bitch didn't took shit from Bruce, Bruce is used to people taking the high road when dealing with him, Sharon isn't that kind of person.
I met him once - when he was in a band called Samson. They were supporting Uriah Heep in Cardiff, S Wales. He was in the bar while the headliners were on and me, him and my mate talked for about 30 minutes. In fact he still owes me a pint. Also - he told us that their band's van was called Bertie! Why I would remember something like that after 30 odd years, I don't know.
This is no more than 2 or 3 years ago. Bruce is an inspiration he,s a qaulified pilot,author,olympic fencer,radio dj,solo artist as well as being the singer in the biggest metal band ever! It,s just the way he is. Surely the most active and talented man ever!
lol i never thought i would see Clarkson and Dickinson to discuss....ahahaha thanks so much for this video uploader great job i am gonna watch it , greetings from Greece.. :D
@Frank Goodall yeah sure! After the 50000 cans of beer he decided to become an air pilot! And what a hell of a pilot he became! Aaaaaaaaaaces hiiiiiigh! 🙋🏼♀️🤘🏻🤘🏻🤭
That's why we love Bruce so much...
He's not only a voice, he's an idol.
Bruce Dickinson interviews are some of the coolest and most entertaining stuff on the internet. I thinks.
relzric I think*
You have to be right though!
@@g-gamer4747 you think, but he thinks!
I could listen to Bruce's stories for an hour.
Listen to his autobiography on audible he narrates it is brilliant
Bruce is sympathetic to the bone. Love his humor.
And bloody beautiful
*humoUr

They should have him in Top Gear, No wait they should have the entire band, I would love to see Nicko in the reasonably priced car.
Nicko has a little bit of Jaguar, he even has Eddie on the headrests.
So true
Maybe if they'd done a planes episode
Bruce driving an aircraft
"Granny shifting not double bass drumming like you should".
Shame he didn't show up on Clarkson's Top Gear.
+Mr. Veteran That would've been hilarious. Especially considering Bruce is a pilot. So there would be some very interesting remarks about that.
Rusty Horse Very true. Oh well, at least this is a good enough substitute. :)
Yeah, it is.
Bruce in Saab would be great

"I've given up drinking, i've stopped, I'll have a double brandy please!"
Lmao xD
Hahaha, his Ozzy impression is great ^^

This absolutely lived up to my expectation for an interview with one of my favorite singers
When I stop my manga comic stories...
4:28 is when the idea for flight 666 kicks in Bruces head xDDDDDDDDD I swear it!!!!
So Clarkson is actually the man behind Flight 666 then!? :D
+Jean-Luc Picard He was thinking about the page 3 girls.
+Erik Helkimo Exactly!
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh FLIGHT 666 idea
Jean-Luc Picard o
Bruce is awesome! One of my favorite singers of all time. Up The Irons! 🤘
Absolutely correct. He's up there along with Rob Halford, among others, as being a legendary vocalist :D
Can tell it's a long time ago...£30 for a maiden ticket 🤣🤣🤣
Not that long ago. They didn't put the price up until 2008.

Such a talented person is Bruce yet so down to earth as well.
"But you did on one tour, I seem to recall, get through 50,000 cans of beer"
"Ooh that sounds about right, yes."
Sounds so fucking casual, I love it.
It was the World Slavery Tour in 1984-85, it's documented on the booklet for the album Live After Death.
The both of these guys are two of my favorites...
This interview was gold!
Bruce and Clarkson, two of the greatest person ever to come out of the UK.
I've seen this soooo many times...I wonder about myself sometimes, but I see that I'm not the only one who watches this in an almost religious way! Bruce is awesome, I love that guy!!!
UP THE IRONS!!!!
Never heard Bruce outside of singing... he has a rather charming accent!
Have you had an opportunity to see one of his speaking tours? Phenomenal!!
I love it when people post these interview. I've never seen it before here in America. Awesome.
I met him on a Bruce Air gig last year... I can vouch for that, he's just plain a great guy.
Two of the best British entertainers ever xD
Two Real Englishmen and great role models, Up the Irons!
Well one of them is. One of them is a fucktard.
+BetaMime Now now - don't say that about Clarkson, despite the facts that it's true.
+Random Task LOL Jeremy is a grade A Tool and an ass twat racist .... role model?
+Random Task Bruce yes but I wouldn't recommend Jeremy Clarkson as a role model; Unless you're the type that looks up to assholes
Clarkson is not a role model.
A destruction with style! What a great interview with Bruce. I could listen to his stories for hours...
After watching this, remember, Iron Maiden was one of the minority of huge 80s bands that *didn't* have some kind of massive problem with substance abuse. Maybe they just got lucky.
Work ethics.
They got drunk enough but they always put the music first.
Bruce did to a point. He said once that he woke up in Japan with no memory of doing a bunch of shows in Australia the week before and that was the point at which he turned it all around started flying and so on.
Of course DiAnno did have a huge drug issue and that is why he was fired very swiftly.
Djarra
He wasn't fired, he left on his own account.
RastaSaiyaman Depends who you listen to Paul says he left Smallwood says he was fired.
Clarkson = legend.
Dickinson = legend.
What a tempting, gorgeous, talented and funny man! Best voice in heavy metal ever!
a brilliant and articulate man. Bruce Dickinson is one of my favorite personalities.
dude, jeremy clarkson and Bruce Dickinson-what more could u ask for?! Excellent!
July 19th 2011 - Bruce Dickinson receives an Honorary Doctorate of Music.
He's Dr. Bruce Dickinson now!
Bruce and Nicko really need to be Stars in a Reasonably Priced Car...
Hes also a great writer and a great tv/radio presenter
Might just be the best interview i have ever seen!
Jeremy: "I seem to recall on one tour you got through 50,000 cans of beer..."
Bruce: "Ooh that seems about right, yeah"
Bruce is an World artist. Say no more.

i've watched this interview so many times i think i can almost memorize all of bruce's lines Lol
it's just so friggin hilarious!
Bruce Dickinson and many other metal vocalists would make excellent voices for cartoon villains.
This video shows why Bruce is so amazing. So lovely person . Great !
4:24 so this was where Bruce got the idea for Flight 666? ;)
Fenny Helgi
Cool! Two of my favorite blokes in one show! Love iron maiden and love top gear!
its so weird seeing these two together bruce dickinson grew up 6 houses down from me and my nan was friends with jeremy's mum
Two of my heroes!
Who's watching in 2016?
me, switched down to 144p though
Elton França Alencar same
Two British legends
I'd love to see a video of that gig in Switzerland!
I met him once - when he was in a band called Samson. They were supporting Uriah Heep in Cardiff, S Wales. He was in the bar while the headliners were on and me, him and my mate talked for about 30 minutes. In fact he still owes me a pint. Also - he told us that their band's van was called Bertie!

A very funny interwiew with two brilliant guys. Bruce is amazing!
Lucky enough to have had a beer with him and Janick Gers (a friend is related to Janick). Both genuinely nice, down to earth guys, and a proper laugh.
Brilliant my favorite singer interviewed by my favorite host !
Imagine to have a drink with Bruce and Ozzy
Not only is he one hell of a singer, but hes is also sooo much fun :-)
Only Bruce can come out holding a beer and make it classy.
I could listen to him talk all day...
This is no more than 2 or 3 years ago. Bruce is an inspiration he,s a qaulified pilot,author,olympic fencer,radio dj,solo artist as well as being the singer in the biggest metal band ever! It,s just the way he is. Surely the most active and talented man ever!
Iron Maiden is not biggest metal bend ever,maybe for you!
Cheers Bruce!! You rock!!
A true renaissance man !
I've seen interviews from the 80s and early 90s and hes hilarious and cool in them as well
My two favorite British people ....talking to each other....amazing,
Same :D
lol i never thought i would see Clarkson and Dickinson to discuss....ahahaha thanks so much for this video uploader great job i am gonna watch it , greetings from Greece.. :D
You can't spell DICKINSON...and you call yourself a fan?
ZON!!!
MrSoillam Where did he say that he is a fan?
+MrSoillam How well do you speak and write Greek?
better than you Vlaka
Happy 50th, Bruce!!
Screammm For me CLARKSON!!
Wow! This video was posted here just a bit after RUclips was launched. It's amazing to see "16 years ago" here in 2023.
A bottle of beer on a chatshow, Don't think it'd happen on Parkinson or Jonathan Ross nowadays.
Bruce is so funny lolz...... "he cut his air with garden shears" lolz!!!!!!!
Happy Birthday Bruce! Cheers from Hungary
I like the guy, well-spoken and yet a good laugh.
Too much awesomeness!.... Clarkson and Bruce Almighty!
Clarkson : " Mr. Dickinson do you like VW Golf or Ford Focus?
Bruce:" I like only Rock and Roll and Airplanes"
I wish we had shows like this in Greece. Or, even better, I wish some channel showed this show here in Greece.
LOL i love his Ozzy Ozbourne Impressions "a Bit of Brandy!" lol
Awesome interview!!!
Great Ozzy impersonation 👍😂
Bruce and Austin = Father and Son = Legends.
Awesome vid! Do anyone know when this is from??
So this is where Bruce got his idea for a plane.
Even when he's just speaking normally I get jealous of his voice
Keith Moon + John Bonham + Vodka + Cocane + Hotel Room = Interesting mix
What year was this? I love this.
They should have put this show on at 2 mins to midnight.
Bruce got the idea for Ed Force One from Jereny Clarkson! 4:21
This is gold
This haircut was a milestone in Bruce's career.
We want Bruce on Top Gear!!!!
Love to see these together lol :D
Real question I can't remember but has Bruce ever done the Top Gear celeb lap??
Unfortunately no.
Those seven minutes flew by really quick.
You can tell his good upbringing by the way he lifted himself of the seat to shake hands.
Bruce brings class to metal.There's no doubt that he's a proper gentleman with high standards
@Frank Goodall yeah sure! After the 50000 cans of beer he decided to become an air pilot!
And what a hell of a pilot he became!
Aaaaaaaaaaces hiiiiiigh! 🙋🏼♀️🤘🏻🤘🏻🤭
The show was actually called "Clarkson". It was hosted by Jeremy Clarkson and it ran from 1998 to 2000.
Wacthed it like 5 times today xD Fucking priceless!
LOL, brilliant! Love the story about the 3-piece quite going into the audience!
What a legend.
Some people still have a problem separating the date the video was posted and the date of the actual footage...
HE IS HILARIOUS!!! i knew he wood be.
To be balanced, Nicko McBrain is a genuinely lovely guy who, in my experience, goes out of his way to talk to his fans. 👍👍👍
@RoxyXStrawberry a song on the album ''No prayer for the dying'' is named ''Bring your daugther to the slauther''.
I can't count how many times I've watched this interview...
Erm - does anyone have footage of that concert he was on about? Haha!
very interesting that both blokes were born near the same areas with clarkson from doncaster and dickinson from worksop
And both went to similar private schools
