“Well, it?s great to see that Bruce has finally gotten off his butt and found a real job. :)”

At least he’s not doing a stupid reality show like the rest of these washed up dingbats.

I thought Iron Maiden made enough money for them to be financially secure?

Sometimes, you just gotta do what you love to do.
Being in Aviation myself, I completely understand it.

Yep! Get a haircut and those doors to opportunity start opening up (at least that's what my dad used to tell me).

They have and, barring serious financial mismanagement, continue to do so.

I'm sure someone will criticize Mr. Dickinson for taking a job that someone else needs much more than he does.

I’m not sure I’d call Bruce washed up. After all, Iron Maiden’s latest album just gave them their highest-ever position on the US album charts. Not to mention he still looks and sounds pretty good.

I wasn’t really comparing Bruce to Ozzy or Gene Simmons. My intent was to show the guy is working for a living and I assume getting some soccer in.

Can you make sure that I’m in your Metal Ping List, Grizz?

Thank you.

How frickin’ cool would that be? A white-collar stiff who is a closet metal fan comes to work one day at the airline and in strolls his new boss, Bruce F***ing Dickinson!

I would cry of excitement.

Saw the Iron Maiden “FLIGHT 666” documentary and concert last weekend on DVD with my husband and son. It was very enjoyable and Bruce flew the plane himself all over the world — backward a** countries too — like Colombia, India, Indonesia, Costa Rica, etc.

It was a great documentary.

they sell out large venues world-wide, so rather than being washed out, they are making more than ever, possibly.

Those weren't "Wasted Years", Bruce!

(My favorite IM song.)
