The best live album than every time for Bruce Dickinson

The singer of Iron Maiden Bruce Dickinson He is a real stage animal, he manages to give his best in live performances. The English musician is a fan of live albums and some time ago revealed what is, in his opinion, the best recorded record of all time.

The choice of Bruce Dickinson – like that of many – has fallen up “Made in Japan” (Read the review here) of the Deep Purple. Speaking to Deep Purple YouTube channel Dickinson said: “Hi cruel world, they are bruce of Iron Maiden. My memories of “Made in Japan” of the Deep Purple. He changed my life, he shocked me. I wanted to be anyone about that band, anyone. I detonated the speakers of my parents’ stereo by playing that disc, I knew every note. To tell the truth, I jumped on the sofas with a shit guitar, trying to be Ritchie Blackmore and to do what I imagined was doing on the stage. So I tell you, what a revelation. I think it is the largest live album, the largest live rock album ever made and still is. I also had the privilege of working with Martin Birch, who told me all the anecdotes about how it was made. This is another story, but still, congratulations for having made it and to be still here. “

Also in an interview from 1996 Dickinson Lodò
“Made in Japan”
: “I don’t think there has ever been a rock band since the times of the purple that it was … just as good at playing, improvising, on stage and having moments of pure brilliance. Nobody has ever done a live album, a live Heavy Rock disc, as beautiful as” Made in Japan “. Nobody. Which is an incredible testimony of that band.”

Bruce had the opportunity to meet
Ian Gillan
and to become a good friend of the singer of
Deep Purple
. When he discovered that the frontman didn’t have that disc, he couldn’t believe it. He told it by talking about the live disc of
Iron Maiden “Live After Death”
From 1985 to Classic Rock in 2022. “It was a real declaration, a double live, like those we all loved as children. My favorite live album is” Made in Japan “of the Deep Purple.” But I remember reading Ian Gillan say: ‘I thought it was shit, I played badly’. And I: ‘No, no, no. You are wrong! ‘. The fun thing is that I think the same way as “Live After Death”. When fans of the Maiden tell me it’s our best live album, I reply: ‘Oh, I don’t know’. But recently I listened to “Live After Death” and played quite well. ”
