Paul Bruce Dickinson (Bruce Dickinson)

Paul Bruce Dickinson was born in the small town Vorksope August 7, 1958 in the true sense of haphazard - it forgot to drink seventeen mother pill. His parents married when his mother was about eighteen, and his father - about nineteen years. They often change their place of residence, as they tried to find a good job. Because of this, from Paul (who loved and loves to this day, to be called by his middle name - Bruce) friends did not - he, unlike her younger sister, badly wound up dating with their peers.
.
. Soon he began to live with his grandparents on the maternal side
. His grandmother, he honestly did not like: she told him that Bruce looks like his father, who took her daughter out of the house. But with his grandfather he had a good relationship. One day his grandfather taught him to fight to defend themselves, and the next day Bruce was sent home from school ... He was hitting everything that moves ... I had to explain to the boy that the protection and aggression - are two different things.

Then Bruce went to boarding school. Then he had the idea to become a drummer. He was so fascinated by this that he tried to beat Let It Be ... But his neighbors and the room, and boarding in general it was impossible to listen ... Then he began to train his fingers, playing the guitar, but it did not go far. Eventually he began to sing ...

In boarding was a pretty boy with an adult intellect twelve boys. And I had to happen that Bruce did not like him ... Bruce is often able to detect at SEB in protyni wet broken shells from the eggs, and all their contents, of course, wet his bed ...

But Bruce himself was not an ideal. Once, when preparing dinner for the entire internatovskoy "elite", he and his friend made their way into the kitchen, being very drunk, and (I apologize) to assist in the bottle with vegetable oil ... As Bruce says, there was quite a bit, somewhere half a cup of tea ... But the next morning about the incident knew the whole school ... And for Bruce immediately came to parents.
Then he began singing in small groups, and later went to London to study. He left to study, and finally singing again ... I began to smoke pot. From the Institute he was nearly expelled, but he managed to pass all the exams almost two weeks! He stayed and received his higher education - a history teacher.

Then he sang in the band Samson. According to him, all the time they drank, smoked and strolled to the women, and music was not enough.

By that time it rose to his feet another British band - Iron Maiden. Their first vocalist was fired for drunkenness, and they are just trying to find someone who could replace him. Bruce tired Samson, and he decided to try to settle in Maiden. When Harris learned who met him in trying to vocals, he replied emphatically "NO!" The fact is that even then, Bruce was known for his unique taste in clothes, but even this was not the main. Steve troubling life of Samson, and the Maiden was and is a strict management. Eventually he was persuaded, and he liked it, as Bruce sang several of their compositions. He was adopted.

Then he stayed in the group as much as eleven years: from 1982 to 1993. With him the band became increasingly popular and beloved around the world. He introduced a new flavor in their diverse music.

But in the early nineties, he developed other ideas. He was commissioned to write a song for the film "Nightmare on Elm Street". He wrote - Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter ... Originally the song was meant for his first solo album, Bruce. She heard Steve, and he enjoyed. They decided to write this song with Maiden, and she entered the Meydenovsky album No Prayer For The Dying. The song was so popular that it was a very long time did not leave the first lines of numerous charts. And this same song won a Razzie ... Ironic but true!

And Bruce released his album glemovy - Tattoed Millionaire. Three years later, an awl in the fifth point told him to leave the Maiden and begin its full solo career. And already in the 94-meters, he released another album, which was already quite different in style - Balls To Picasso. And then - Skunkworks - grunge album. Actually, Bruce did not like to sit long on one and the same - all of his albums are different. Further, in 97 th, he issued a rather heavy on the sound Accident Of Birth, and later, in 98-m, worthy of his continuation - Chemical Wedding. Later, Harris asked him to return to the Maiden, and Bruce did so - he was tired to speak before a small audience, he wanted to ten times more. And he received the reward, the album Brave New World, recorded in the Maiden, was a break. Group was headlaynerom on one of the grandest festivals of svyu their history - Rock In Rio. Bruce got his way, because his feet were about hundreds of thousands of jubilant Brazilians, but on TV they watched enthralled millions of viewers ...

Then Bruce started to be lazy in regard to recording new solo album. He said that the Chemical Wediing album is not bad, and he would be better to write in Maiden. But seven years after the release of Chemical Wedding, in 2005, he released yet another album - Tyranny Of Souls! It may be called the third part of the Accident Of Birth, but the subject is still evolving. Bruce does not stand still. It's worth listening to.
