Rather a collection of anecdotes. ( ) If Motley Crue's autobiography, "The Dirt" is your favorite hard rock memoir; you will be VERY disappointed by Bruce Dickinson's book. However, if you would like to read a refreshing account of life in the 80's, with no sex, very little drugs, and non-ego rock & roll, you will pleasantly surprised. Dickinson's dry humor and spot on observations will make you actually respect a "rock star" What does this button do? - Let’s find out!! Mr Dickinson surprised me with this book. Not only is he a talented singer and songwriter but he seems to have a hundred of little talents hidden. I loved his voice and way of presenting his book and I loved the way he told his story. I understand and appreciate he decided to leave out his love life and family. I see it as respecting their privacy and his life is interesting enough without. As a extra for me having been a pilot for small planes, I loved the view on aviation from a fellow metal head :) This is an interesting rock and roll biography and one I'm still trying to decide whether I liked or not. If you want to know about the inter-workings of Iron Maiden or what it's like being on world tour or writing hitting records, this ain't the book for you. If you want to know about fencing, flying, and surviving cancer, this is exactly the book for you. Dickinson seems to be an amiable fellow who has lived a remarkable life. That's all I have at this point, other than to say, there are much worse books to read. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML: New York Times Bestseller "Illuminating and very entertaining...a compelling read about someone who is much more than just the guy who sings for Iron Maiden." A long-awaited memoir from the larger-than-life, multifaceted lead vocalist of Iron Maiden, one of the most successful, influential and enduring rock bands ever. Pioneers of Britain's nascent Rock & Metal scene back in the late 1970s, Iron Maiden smashed its way to the top, thanks in no small part to the high-octane performances, operatic singing style, and stage presence of its second, but twice-longest-serving, lead singer, Bruce Dickinson. As Iron Maiden's front manâ??first from 1981 to 1993, and then from 1999 to the presentâ??Dickinson has been, and remains, a man of legend. But OTT front man is just one of the many hats Bruce wears. In addition to being one of the world's most storied and well-respected singers and songwriters, he is an airline captain, aviation entrepreneur, motivational speaker, beer brewer, novelist, radio presenter, and film scriptwriter. He has also competed as a world-class level fencer. Often credited as a genuine polymath Bruce, in his own words (and handwritten script in the first instance!), sets forth many personal observations guaranteed to inspire curious souls and hard-core fans alike. Dickinson turns his unbridled creativity, passion, and anarchic humour to reveal some fascinating stories from his life, including his thirty years with Maiden, his solo career, his childhood within the eccentric British school system, his early bands, fatherhood and family, and his recent battle with cancer. Bold, honest, intelligent and very funny, his memoir is an up-close look inside the life, heart, and mind of one of the most unique and interesting men in the world; a true icon of rock Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
