The Bruce Dickinson and then some page is up and runnin'. The most recent interview I conducted with Bruce, on 5/9/97, is done. I still have to convert my other interview with Bruce, from 1994, and my other interview with Adrian Smith, pre-Psycho Motel. Hopefully I will have this done by next week. Thanks for stopping by, I will plan to update this site as frequently as possible. Bookmark this site.

ACCIDENT OF BIRTH was just released in the US on June 3. After several acoustic performances in England, previous to the release, Bruce and Co. are gearing up for a massive tour. No offical dates have been released. Also, there is possibilities of Bruce touring with either Judas Priest or MegaDeth, but nothing offical as of yet. Check back soon for more details.

Some one has stolen Eddison. There is a 300 pound reward for information leading to the recovery of this mascot. What is the world coming to????? We are still waiting for US dates and hope to have them soon. Sorry we have not updated in a while, we have had some issues that needed to be resolved. Thanks for being patient.
US tour dates have been update. And yes I will more than likely meet Bruce & Co. on the Oct 4 &/or 5th shows. I will get a definite soon.
I have just updated the links page and tour info page. Also if you didn't already know it, Bruce had a Birthday on August 8. He is now a whopping 39 years old. OUCH!! I once saw Maiden in 1988 on Bruce's Birthday, which was the last US date before Donnington that year and at the end of the show Bruce was bombarded with pies in the face. It was hilarious. He paused for a minute then walked off the stage shaking his head. Also, CMC International has received 3 videos from AOB. They are: "Accident of Birth," "Road to Hell," "Man of Sorrows." The big radio push for Bruce is starting. Stay tuned.
For those who have been trying to help find Edison you stop your search. Sources close to the band have informed me that they have found him. We may all rest easy now.
It appears as though Bruce & Co. will be opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd, on the European tour. The reason for this is that Bruce will have more exposure. He now will be in front of 3,000 in stead of playing smaller clubs. This would never fly in America, but in Europe it is different, so things should work out well. Also, Bruce's last U.S show will be in Springfield, VA. Only about 1 1/2 hours away from my self, so I will be there to partake in the grand finale.
The tour page has been updated with the European dates as well as some updated US dates. If you did not know Bruce will be opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd on the European dates. I am still working on finishing the Adrian Smith interview. I am over half way done. I am still eagerly anticipating catching Bruce on his last US stop in Springfield, VA.
The archive of the Allan Handelman show with the Bruce Dickinson interview is available at Handelman Archive. You will need Real Audio if you do not already have it. Real Audio home page.
It is now official, I will be there on Oct 4 for the final show of the Bruce tour and I will be interviewing Bruce and possibly Adrian before the show. I will have a full transcript available, hopefully, the same time as the old Adrian interview.
I have updated the tour info page. The adrian interview is close to being done. It is a lot longet than I anticipated. Only 3 days until the final Bruce show!!

Bruce Dickinson is on the Bean soundtrack album. The title of his song is "Elected - Mr. Bean/Smear Campaign". Tower Records page for the soundtrack. I have yet to hear the song, but I hope to hear it soon. Let me know if you have heard it.
Here is the report, from Bruce's radio show on 12/20/97, from our good friend, David Clouter. Just to let you know that Bruce's show was such a great success that we're repeating it at midnight on Christmas night, December 25th. He really is a natural and the show made excellent listening.
