Bruce doesn't sing for charity

What’s that Brucey? You’re not going to sing for charity? Why you heartless bastard!

Eh? Not quite, because the Iron Maiden frontman, Bruce Dickinson, will in fact be “appearing” on a new charity single to raise money for the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal. Just don’t be expecting to hear Dickinson’s legendary vocals on the song, because the single and accompanying video, 2 Minute Silence, both do exactly what they say on the tin. That’s right, it’s just two minutes of silence… Erm yay.

Quite why it takes professional musicians to record two minutes of silence, is beyond me. I could do that right now, in my bedroom, upload it to the internet and ask people for donations for the charity.

Regardless, I’m really looking forward to hearing this… or should that be NOT hearing this? For more information, visit www.britishlegion.org.uk.

Bruce Dickinson tries to justify new setlist

Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden tried to justify Maiden‘s setlist, that contains mostly new work, in a recent interview.

“[New fans] aren’t interested in nostalgia. They want new stuff and they want exciting stuff.” he said.

“Bullshit” I say, Bruce Bruce. Iron Maiden has a backing catalogue of 15 albums and by playing mostly only songs of the last 4 albums, you’re cheating your fans out of 11 albums of great material. I’d rather listen to the first 5 albums on repeat for the rest of my life than to listen to a whole song of your new album. Plus nostalgia is what bought you that plane in the first place. You know what plane I’m talking about captain Brucie.

In other news, Dick-in-son sounds like a pedophile’s internet pseudonym.
