What's this button for? The autobiography of Iron Maiden's pilot and vocalist
19.99 €
The long-awaited memoir from the incredibly versatile lead vocalist of Iron Maiden, one of the most successful, influential, and longest-running rock bands in history.
Pioneers of the nascent British metal scene in the late 1970s, Iron Maiden worked their way to the top thanks in no small part to their unforgettable performances, operatic singing and lead singer Bruce Dickinson. As Iron Maiden's frontman - first from 1981 to 1993 and then from 1999 to the present - Dickinson was and remains a man of legend. But the role of frontman is just one of the many hats Bruce wears. In addition to being one of the most well-known and respected performers and songwriters in the world, he's also an airline captain, aviation entrepreneur, motivational speaker, brewer, writer, radio host and movie scriptwriter. In addition, he has competed as a world-class fencer. Often ranked as a true polymath, Bruce lays out a wealth of personal observations that are guaranteed to serve as inspiration for fans and anyone who just wants to energize and make a difference. Dickinson turns his unbridled creativity, passion, and anarchic humor into fascinating stories from his life, including thirty years as a member of the band Iron Maiden, his solo career, his childhood in the peculiar British school system, his early bands, fatherhood and family, and his recent battle with cancer. Bold, honest and hilariously funny, this memoir is a close look into the very essence of the life, heart and mind of one of the world's most unique and interesting people, a true rock icon. "Inspiring and fascinating..... A fascinating read about a man who is so much more than just the guy who sings in Iron Maiden," - Loudwire Magazine
