431.0. "Dickinson, Bruce" by MILKWY::SLABOUNTY (Save a tree, say no to FF's!!) Mon Apr 30 1990 15:51

    
    	Bruce has a song out called "Tattooed Millionaire", and while
    	his voice still sounds the same I don't like the song as much
    	as his Iron Maiden stuff.
    
    	Well, maybe it's good for a change ... I don't know.

431.2more on Bruce's CD singleCASEE::LALLIDidier - BCE Valbonne - DTN 828.5423Thu May 03 1990 08:4314
I've heard part of the CD single that just came out. Ian Gers (new guitarist of
Maiden) is the producer of it.

The CD single contains :

	Tattoed Millionaire
	Ballad of Mute
	Winds of Change

I had a chance to listen to "Winds of change" and I was surprised. It's a 
real blues song, with only voice and accoustic guitar. I couln't recognize 
Bruce in it. Really amazing.

431.3All the old prudes.KERBER::SUTHERLANDso don't let go..Thu Jun 21 1990 11:299
    Anyone heard Dickinsons rendition of the old Mott single 'All the Young 
    Dudes'?  I believe there is also a video.

    Don't know why he felt compelled to cut this number, its hardly HM but 
    it sounds ok.

    It sounds the same as the original...yes, this fossill remembers 
    the original.  Janick Gers on guitar is the best thing about it.
    
    The video is entirely full of BD pulling his (so-called) mean HM
    faces.
    
    Incidentally, did you know that tickets for BD's solo tour are NOT
    selling - they'll probably be giving them away on the door.

    	For those interested, Bruce Dickinson is supposed to be
    	playing in Boston on July 24.  I don't know where.  I
    	saw the date in RIP Magazine in an ad for his new solo
    	effort.

     Has anyone read his book yet?
    
      It has just been released on paper back here, so I bought it.
    
    
              IT IS TREMENDOUSLY FUNNY!!!!
    
                   (And that's just the first two chapters!!)
    
      For anyone who dosen't know the name of it, it is:-
    
    
      The Adventures of Lord Iffy Boatrace.
    
      There's a mention of EddiE, Harry Harris (Steve Harris) and 
    
      himself in Iron Maiden.
    
      I would strongly advise anyone to buy it.

    I saw this Bruce's record in shop, but I was not sure if it's worth
    buying. After reading these comments I would like to buy it. Sounds
    good. He has shown talents of singing in Iron Maiden so why not alone.

431.14Good work!MERLAN::SCALZOI'd rather be ridingFri Sep 21 1990 13:276
    
    I just got the tape. I think its real good. the cover of All the
    young dudes is excellent. The 1st side is GREAT. The second side
    had a couple tunes that were just OK and the others were good.

431.18WHAT ARE YOU DOING BRUCE?COMET::FRISBYAWed Mar 06 1991 18:0716
    HEY KIDS,
         I heard that bruce wrote the song "tattooed millionaire"
    as kind of slam on NIKKI SIXX and TOMMY LEE of the CRUE.
    Would anyone else have any imformation on this? 
    Personally, I don't care for the album as much as Iron
    Maiden.  I'm glad MAIDEN wouldn't let him do this stuff!
    Here in the COLORADO area they had to almost give away
    the MAIDEN tickets for twelve bucks a pop!  The show was
    great anyway but the metal gods are not the staple they
    use to be in the metal book!  I hope they can pull it 
    together and get the personalality back in the band and
    the albums!
    
             BURP!  HAVE SOME F*CKIN FUN!

    Yo Friz,
    	Is that so? That's interesting. If true, I'd like to give my
    personal F-U to Bruce Dickinson for ragging on Nikki and Tommy, if
    only to rebuff him for having a sickeningly arrogant attitude.
    
    /Mike...never really got into Maiden anyway
431.20CHEFS::DALLISONStick it to ya!Thu Mar 07 1991 11:265
    
    It figures - if you see the TM video, the guy in it playing the 'rock
    star' looks like a Crue outcast.
    
    I agree with Mike (for once!) - BD should go and stuff pigeon.
431.21XCUSME::JENNISONNot A Good Day TO Be A Bad GuyThu Sep 15 1994 13:494

    When I got my autographed Bruce Dickinson photo for my wedding present
    he sent along a promo-cd too.
    
    I went to play it and it was all Queen! Opps!
    
    I'm going to pick it up this weekend. I really like it alot better
    than his last solo effort.
