Achtung! Šis
raksts domāts cilvēkiem, kas prot novērtēt vokālistu mākslu tradicionālajā
Heavy Metal mūzikā. Daudziem
vārds Bruce Dickinson asociējas tikai ar britu Heavy Metal monstriem Iron
Maiden. Taču patiesībā šis britu vokālists, kurš tiek saukts arī par "The
Air Raid Siren" ir vokālists ar
diezgan krāsainu vēsturi, un viņa karjera nebūt neaprobežojas tikai ar būšanu
iekš Iron Maiden. Viņš ir autors arī
vairākiem saviem solo albumiem, kuri ir ieguvuši atzinību visā pasaulē! Jau iepriekš
atvainojos, ka raksts ir angļu valodā. Bet viņš taču ir britu dziedātājs... Enjoy!
Paul Bruce Dickinson (born 7
August 1958) is an English singer, TV presenter, airline
pilot,
radio show host, record producer, fencer, author, and songwriter
best known as the vocalist of the heavy metal band Iron Maiden.
Dickinson performed for some local
bands including Styx (not the American band of the same name) in 1976,
Speed, (1977-1978), and Shots in early 1979. He then joined hard rock
band Samson later in 1979, where he gained some
popularity. In this band he went by the name of "Bruce Bruce." He left Samson in 1981, citing musical
differences.
Shortly afterwards, in 1981, Dickinson was hired as Iron Maiden's
new vocalist, debuting for that band with the 1982 album The Number of the Beast.
During his time in that band, they issued a series of high impact releases,
gaining worldwide fame, and being regarded as one of the most acclaimed heavy
metal vocalists of all time. In early 1989, Zomba
asked Dickinson to do a track for
the movie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Nightmare_on_Elm_Street_5:_The_Dream_Child" title="A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child">A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The
Dream Child, with a budget, a studio, and a producer, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Tsangarides" title="Chris Tsangarides">Chris
Tsangarides. Dickinson
took up the opportunity and called an old friend of his, former Gillan
guitarist, Janick Gers.
Shortly after meeting up, they had "Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter"
ready for the studio. Later that year, Dickinson
participed on a re-recording of Deep Purple's
"Smoke on the Water", as part of the
humanitarian effort Rock Aid Armenia. His intention now was to
release a solo album.
His solo debut, Tattooed Millionaire, was written
and recorded within weeks, and released in May 1990. Backed by the band Skin,
Bruce Dickinson, with Mr. Bean,
made a cover version of Alice Cooper's
"Elected",
which was used in 1992 for Comic Relief,
and five years later, on Bean Soundtrack.
Dickinson quit Iron Maiden
in 1993 in order to pursue his solo career. Dickinson's solo work ranged a wide variety of heavy metal and rock
styles.
For his second solo effort, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balls_to_Picasso" title="Balls to Picasso">Balls to
Picasso, Dickinson
received the collaboration of American
producer, Keith Olsen.
Unhappy with the results, Dickinson
started working with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribe_of_Gypsies" title="Tribe of Gypsies">Tribe of Gypsies guitarist Roy Z,
to improve Olsen's work. The album was recorded with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribe_of_Gypsies" title="Tribe of Gypsies">Tribe of
Gypsies as the backing band, and was released in 1994. That same
year, Dickinson recorded a cover
version of "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" with the
band Godspeed for Black Sabbath's tribute album Nativity in Black. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribe_of_Gypsies" title="Tribe of Gypsies">Tribe of
Gypsies departed to continue with their work and Dickinson tracked down another band.
Now his new writing partner was Alex Dickson. After the supporting tour
finished, he started working on a new album, Skunkworks. Dickinson decided the band would be called that, but abandoned the
idea to keep his name on the release.
After a short period of inactivity,
Dickinson once again teamed up with Roy Z and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribe_of_Gypsies" title="Tribe of Gypsies">Tribe of
Gypsies to record his next album, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accident_of_Birth" title="Accident of Birth">Accident of Birth. Adrian Smith was
asked to guest and remained later as a full-time member. The album marked a return
to heavy metal for Dickinson;
being a much heavier album than Iron
Maiden's, with a less progressive influence. Follow-up, The Chemical Wedding, was a semi-concept album
on alchemy.
It drew inspiration from William Blake's
writings, with songs such as, "Book
of Thel", having http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Thel" title="The Book of Thel">the same
title of some of his poems, and the artwork featuring one of his paintings. The record was even more
successful than its predecessor, with engaging lyrics and powerful songs. Dickinson recorded a cover version of Queen's
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohemian_Rhapsody" title="Bohemian Rhapsody">Bohemian
Rhapsody", with Montserrat Caballé, almost ten years after her duet album with Freddie Mercury. Scream for Me Brazil was a live
album that documented a show recorded in São Paulo
in 1999, during the supporting tour.
In February 1999, Dickinson, along with Smith returned to
Iron Maiden. Dickinson performed vocals on the song, "Into the Black Hole", for Ayreon's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Migrator_Part_2:_Flight_of_the_Migrator" title="Universal Migrator Part 2: Flight of the Migrator">Universal
Migrator Part 2: Flight of the Migrator. Later that year, he
collaborated with Judas Priest's
front-man, Rob Halford,
recording, "The One You Love to Hate",
for Halford's
debut, Resurrection. In late 2001, was
released a compilation album, titled The Best of Bruce Dickinson. This
work also included a limited edition disc of rarities and two new songs. His
latest album, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_Souls" title="Tyranny of Souls">Tyranny of
Souls was released in May 2005. This time the songwriting
was all split between Roy Z and
Dickinson. Many songs were composed by Roy sending recordings of riffs to
Dickinson, while he was on tour with Maiden.
In June 21, 2005, Dickinson's complete
solo discography was re-released, featuring bonus discs with rare and
remastered tracks. That same year, Dickinson
contributed in the song, "Beast in
the Light", from Tribuzy's
album, Execution, and a subsequent live album. In 2006, was
released a three-DVD package, Anthology,
containing concerts from his career, promo videos and footage from his work on
Samson.
