Once upon a time when Bruce Dickinson loved to act like Axl Rose


Gallagher Rose

WTF..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHTNgJftbLA

It was live in 1992, Bruce doing some Axl Rose moves onstage.

You are an idiot.

Iron Maiden was one of Axl's influences!

...and to top it off the video is from Castle Donnington.

GNR were one of the opening bands on the '88 bill that Maiden headlined.

I didn't see any Axl moves, he's too stiff to move like Axl. Also you made me listen to that shit ass song.

Bruce is anything but stiff. Have you ever really watched a Maiden concert start to finish, live or on video? Bruce is one of the most energetic frontmen of all time, and he's a better singer than Axl too.

Maiden did headline in '88, but this video is from Monsters Of Rock '92.
I think Axl has mentioned he wasn't a fan of Bruce Dickenson he prefered the first album and Paul Di'Anno I think?

Yep, Axl's said he likes Di'Anno, the first album in particular. As far is Killers and Paul's solo stuff and stuff with Battlezone, dunno.

i wouldn't go as far as saying he's a better singer than Axl...

but i do see the similarities between the two

Based on skill, I would say so. But skill isn't the only factor in being good. Axl can obviously sing with emotion better than Bruce, but Bruce has better range. I mean, do you think Axl could ever have hit the 2 octave jump in Aces High? No. But could Bruce ever sing a song like Estranged and make it as convincing as Axl? No. They are both incredibly talented singers in different respects.

I'm a huge Maiden fan, I think Dickinson is a brilliant singer, but most of the big screams that he does, like the one in The Number Of The Beast and in Aces High, he can't reproduce on-stage live. Have you heard the live version from Live After Death? It sounds like he's choking when he tries to hit that note.

allright allright, but what's more important? Skill or feeling? That's the main reason that tears people apart from Bucket/robin/ect and Slash

Bruce and Axl are my two favourite vocalists ever and i find it impossible to choose between the two of them they are both great in very different ways and their music is different in that respect, plus GnR have never been a heavy Metal band as such more hard rock where Iron Maiden is Metal.

Axl has always had tracks that reflect his personal life although sometimes slightly criptic whereas Iron Maiden never have maybe a few of bruces solo works such as tears of the dragon but not much else so its hard tocompare that style of singing like powerage said however his point is very valid.

As for moves on stage i dont think either iof them copied each other it just so happens that they are both very energetic frontmen who can jump around for a long time on stage and both have a large vocal range so similarities are going to be drwn up based on that.

Mmmm, you appear to be talking shite.

Also you appear to have gone very quiet regarding you original assertion.

P.S. Oasis are a joke, not a band, just Noel (who has talent, songwriting-wise) and his talentless brother and a bunch of side-men.

I hope people adopt this point of view.
