Imagine being on the street and a wild Bruce Dickinson appears trying to sell you one of his albums

[aaronw]

And nobody even noticed how close they could have been to receiving an authentic, Bruce Dickinson-signed copy of the best live metal album ever.

"if Napoleon would have had one of these, he would have beat the english at waterloo"

0:27 Instead of selling it to you for a $100, I'll sell it to you for $99.99 lol

You only ever notice how short Bruce is when he’s off the stage.

*You know strangers are thinking "Get away from me you crazy bum!" and then he jumps in a limo and takes

Bruce is so damn adorable❤️ Iron Maiden is kickass! Why couldn’t I have run into Bruce? These people were clueless!

[tryitworks]

Aaah that is why he needed his own plane - to never ever have to sell his record on NYC streets again 😄

Aahh.. the 80s 😢
Best decade of music.
Iron Maiden forever 🤘🏻

Crazy thing is this guy is still out there doing gigs and looks healthier and wilder than ever, and pilots his own airplane between gigs. Pretty amazing dude.

I remember back in the early 80's waiting outside of the San Diego Sports Arena for a Maiden show. Bruce walked up the ramp from the backstage area to the parking lot and just walked across the lot, across the street to Tower Records. He looked like the Pied Piper of Hamelin, with a group of fans in tow. Great guy! Great memories!

I'm from Brazil and here we have a say: "God only gives biscuit to the teethless ones"...that's exactly the feeling of this video...

[BW-kvwj]

And no one realized who he was. They thought he was another bum. And that guy pilots 747 airliners.

NYC, this doesn't surprise me. I live in Sydney and when I first met this good mate of mine, he told me he went to Ashfield Boys High School. I said "that must be so cool going to the school of Angus and Malcolm"... he said "who?" I said "Angus and Malcolm Young of Accadacca"... he was still confused. I said "you know... AC/DC... the guitarist even wears that school's bloody school uniform on the stage"...

He still had no idea what I was talking about. And no, he wasn't having me on. Apparently he only listens to RnB and by RnB, I ain't talking rhythm n blues. I never thought it was even legal to be in Australia without knowing who AC/DC were.

1982, we met Iron Maiden at a small reord store in Toledo, Ohio. I think it was Bruce's first time touring the States. We were 17 and 18, they must have been early 20s... everyone high as fu*k, great time! They were SO cool, and rowdy... we got Maiden stickers, patches, frisbees... not once did I think to get "Number of the Beast" autographed, or take any pictures. Hahaha... fu*k.
They opened for 38 Special and Rainbow that night. GREAT SHOW!! (Gawd, I'm old... haha)

No better way to start the day than watching madman bruce.
Thanks for the awesome vid man, brought a much needed laugh in a year that's been sorely lacking!

0:37 Bruce selling the album to Adrian Smith

[charlesgram]

One of the best recordings of all time. An authentic: "Dickinson 'Peddler' Albums" would be worth over a hudred times what he was asking.

[joesiron]

Those people had no idea that they were standing next to one of the most legendary and incredible vocalists in Heavy Metal, while he was trying to sell them one of his best live albums.

[oscarramosescobar]

One of the best live albums of the twenty century.
