BRUCE DICKINSON Reflects On His 1999 Return To IRON MAIDEN - "STEVE HARRIS Was Very Suspicious"

In a wide-ranging, career-spanning interview in the new issue of Classic Rock magazine, Bruce Dickinson revisits his decision to rejoin Iron Maiden in 1999, and states that, at the time, he promised the band that they would "sweep away the past by doing an amazing future."

It was Maiden's manager Rod Smallwood who first proposed the idea of Dickinson rejoining the band following Steve Harris' decision to part company with Blaze Bayley in January 1999. The singer made it known that he would be open to discussing the idea, and agreed to meet with Harris, Smallwood and his former bandmates at Smallwood's home in Brighton for exploratory talks. Harris has subsequently admitted that he wasn't initially convinced that welcoming the group's prodigal son back into the fold was the way forward - "Rod was being his bombastic, bullying best, ’cause he knew I wasn’t into it at all" he confessed - and, as Dickinson tells Classic Rock's Mark Blake, the bassist made little attempt to mask his scepticism.

"Steve was very suspicious," the singer admits. "He said: 'Why do you wanna come back?' I actually said [laughing], I want to come back, Steve, because, in the words of my mates, ‘the world needs Iron Maiden’, and secondly I think we can make amazing music."

When Blake points out that, at the time, Maiden may have also needed Dickinson, the singer replies, "Probably. But there was no point in saying that, because it would have sounded like sour grapes."

"What I said was: We will sweep away the past by doing an amazing future," Dickinson recalls. "Though the first words out of my gobby mouth were: Of course we are better than Metallica! People said: 'You can’t say that.' I said: I just did. Then they started going: 'Maybe he’s right.'

"You’ve got to have that attitude, though," he continues. "It’s like Mick Jagger didn’t get to be Mick Jagger by sitting there going [apologetically]: 'Oh, we’re quite good, you know, we’re almost as good as The Beatles.' I also told them that we are not to just do ‘greatest hits’ albums, we are going to do a new album and it will be fucking great. And it was. Brave New World [in 2000] really delivered. So suddenly we’re off to the races again."

Я б на его месте тоже вернулся, ибо:

1. Потешил свое эго сольного исполнителя...;

2. ...но обделался по полной в коммерческом плане даже на хваленых критиками Accident of birth и the chemical wedding, а некогда заданную планку в бюджете хочется поддерживать на былом уровне.

25 лет прошло...

С Brave New World они если не стали лучше Металлики, то встали вровень с ней. Имеется в виду не коммерческий уровень, а некий совокупный творческий багаж, полезная музмасса. До ухода Брюса - не дотягивали. К 2000 г. же году Метла уже устойчиво оформилась как осыпающийся лохмотьями зомби из прошлого, а Мэйден ррраз, и запрыгнули в новый век, свежо и бодро.
Так что тут болтливый рот Брюса не такой уж и болтливый.

Оглядываясь назад можно сказать что в BNW альбом не такой уж и выдающийся, однако в то время шуму конечно группа наделала много, помню даже у нас в РФ по М-tv (телеканал) они попали в программу 12 злобных зрителей. Короче шум был, и это нельзя отрицать. Но в целом дальше не было ничего сверхестетсвенного, обычный метал, обычные туры и т.д. и т.п. Спасибо за счастливое юношество короче)

Не популярности и востребовательности им реюньон разумеется прибавил но по музыки он очень сильно просели . Ни один альбом после и близко по качеству не дотягивает до любого который был до.

Возвращение Брюса ценно уже хотя бы тем, что:
1. Без оного группа, и без того уже дышавшая на ладан, через год-другой, скорее всего, загнулась бы окончательно и бесповоротно;
2. После оного группа вновь не раз и не два объехала с концертами полмира (посетив в числе прочего дважды Москву - ЭТО НЕЗАБЫВАЕМО!) и выпустила массу замечательных альбомов, которые, быть может, в чем-то и впрямь не дотягивают до былых шедевров, но неоднократного и вдумчивого прослушивания достойны однозначно.

В Олимпийский ходил аж на два концерта подряд, перед тем как Брюс свалил в свободное плаванье..
Вернулся, потому что наплавался)) Перезагрузка пошла им только на пользу.
