History Music / BruceDickinson

-> ''"Pilot, world class fencer (that's swords, not fence installation), author, radio DJ, historian… somehow Iron Maiden's frontman manages to fit world tours around all his other pursuits."''

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: By day, Music/IronMaiden vocalist and more metal than a block of steel. By night, part time airline pilot and occasional fencer.

* BerserkButton: He's very protective of his voice - understandable, since its how he earns his living. So when he catches a wiff of someone in the concert smoking, he'll drop everything to yell at them.

* ShownTheirWork

* CreativeDifferences: How he left Music/IronMaiden in 1993.

* NamesTheSame: He shares his full name with a Creator/ColumbiaRecords manager/producer whose involvement with Music/BlueOysterCult lead to ''SpellMyNameWithAThe'' [[ChristopherWalken Bruce Dickinson]] on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' (as "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" wasn't actually produced by that Dickinson).
** OneSteveLimit: He shares his "Paul" name with ''[[ThePeteBest Paul]]'' [[ThePeteBest Day]], and ''Paul'' Di'Anno, both also former vocalists of Maiden.
*** Unlike them, however he's always been known as Bruce.

Phew... Has a voice so powerful, he's been nicknamed the "Air Raid Siren".

** In a heartwarming moment, in tribute to recently deceased RonnieJamesDio, "You are the fucking rainbow in the dark!"

* CatchPhrase: He often shouts to the audience, "Scream for me, [insert name of country[=/=]city]!" when playing live. The best moment of this CatchPhrase is before the appearance of [[{{Mascot}} Eddie]] himself in Maiden's concerts, generally in the Self-Titled Song.

* ScientificProgressGoesOi: As stated in the description, he's an historian, airline pilot, fencing enthusiast, TV presenter, radio presenter, record producer and author. It comes to no surprise that he's in [[Music/IronMaiden a band]] with a likeness for {{Filk Song}}s and HeavyMithril.
