Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson Reveals Vocalists He Looks Up To

Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson sits down with Graham 'Gruhamed' Hartmann to talk about vocalists the heavy metal legend looks up to.

Cheers, Bruce, and you are right. Ronnie James Dio. His voice is irreplaceable. RIP.

[SebGigl]

Ronnie James Dio. We all love Ronnie.

0:26 umm... aaa... (is there anyone better than me)...

I love this man so much. Everything that comes out of his mouth, be it in the form of song or speech, increases my respect for him.

I think it's so silly, when people talk about greatest singers etc. you rarely hear anyone mention Bruce... not only does he have one of the widest vocal ranges among all singers out there... but he can still do it after more than 30 years cause he took great care of his voice.

[MetalMistress]

Love that Bruce was influenced by the singing on Rainbow Rising!

[jbatts]

Dio is a legend. Was blessed to see him live once, what a wicked voice and stage presence. We miss you Ronnie

[MsBenlane]

i love his sense of humor it must be hard to have to sit and hear people talk about how great you are

[rekdinhopoetico]

I think every rocker loves Dio. RIP, Ronnie, we all love you.

[metalheadedone]

Love his humor! Graham says "THE Bruce Dickinson" and Bruce says "there is no other", but then rethinks that and says "might be another one" and looks behind the chair... hahaha, love it! 😆🤘

Great answer: the singer, the band mate and the raw vocalist. They are all aspects of a Bruce Dickinson performance.

There are 3 or 4 people in this world who truly inspire me with their craft and disciplined and dedicated work effort and Bruce is one of them. Always a pleasure watching his interviews!

[PDXguitarfreak]

I wonder how he feels about Halford? Another one of the legends

[DrBenIngle]

at BAE I got to work with Bruce on his airship it was a dream come true he is a lovely guy and very down to earth.

[alexritter]

Wow, I just realized how old Bruce is. I better see them live before someone In the band dies.

[alexgiles]

This is epic, I’m gaining a massive interest in a lot of new groups but groups of the earlier eras of rock and metal, especially such as Maiden, Priest and dio still translate to a new generation such as my generation.
Also Zeppelin being mine and a lot of other people’s favourite band shows how much rock and roll carries on into the metal genre

[majidslyteen]

So.. Dio.. Deep Purple.. Led Zeppelin..
Well that settles it.. In order to become a good singer.. You have to be a good listener..
My God.. This man has a great taste in listening to and writing songs

[chrisayres]

Gillan was a monster of a singer back in the early 70s no one could touch his vocal power, but sadly today old age has fucked him up, also obviously Freddie Mercury has to be one of the best singers ever so much depth and power to his voice amazing singer

The face of Bruce before answering is the face of a man who really knows and values his stuff. :)

Bruce is so lovely, I wish he was my grandpa
