The Best Song From Every Iron Maiden Album<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cOn a really good night, you completely lose yourself in some weird higher power that takes you over. You inhabit the song, your voice just seems to anticipate everything, and that\u2019s why I do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Asked if he\u2019d ever performed drunk, he admitted: \u201cYes. In the early days of [pre-Maiden band] Samson, we thought we\u2019d play better when we were completely f\u2013\u2013ed up.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe listened back to it a few days later with a degree of horror and went, \u2018Oh f\u2013\u2013k, it doesn\u2019t work like that, does it?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
He also recalled injuring himself during Maiden\u2019s 1982 world tour. \u201cI f\u2013\u2013ed ed up a disc in my neck\u2026 basically by shaking my head around and headbanging. Rattling my brain around made me feel good at the time, but it definitely didn\u2019t make me feel good after a while.<\/p>\n
Bruce Dickinson\u2019s Favorite-Ever Stage Prop<\/h3>\n
\u201cIt hit me in America. I basically lost the use of my left arm because of it \u2013 I couldn\u2019t feel three of my fingers; I had muscle spasms everywhere. I wore a neck collar during the daytime, took it off for the shows and basically faked it in terms of using my left arm.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dickinson named the flamethrower he\u2019s been using on recent tours as his favorite stage prop of all time, although he explained that \u201cthere\u2019s nowhere on this [current] tour where it\u2019s been appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then he described the prop of his dreams: \u201cI wanted to have a zip line from the PA tower to the stage, and that\u2019s how I would enter the stage. It was just too f\u2013\u2013ing complicated.
\u201cAnd it would also be really nice to levitate and fly and all that stuff, but we would only be told it\u2019s too difficult and not to bother with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
