Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson says its doing only for his fans

Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson says that he doesn’t give a damn that his band has been years and dispels the myth that they show "excellent " for fans only turn up by the mainstream media has avoided mentioning.

Speaking to Argentinean website Vorterix.com he said that Maiden always think about than their fans have more care and Rolling Stone magazine's mascot Eddie on the cover of Argentina Edition case dismissed.

“Do I care? No! What’s bigger? More magazine covers or being bigger in the heart of your fans? To me it’s much more important that we stay close to our fans

“We got a Grammy this year – I think it’s ‘cos we’re still alive. If they were going to give us a Grammy they should have given us one about 1986, but they gave it to Jethro Tull, and it took another 20 years

“The mainstream media don’t understand metal. Unless you are a fan, unless you really understand the music, it’s difficult to give it the coverage it deserves

And Dickinson is proposed that the only reason fans want to hear songs on the show in Classic bristles. Through an interpreter when asked whether he found it frustrating, they positively baulked:

“Is it frustrating that the fans want the classics? I don’t know whether that’s true actually.

“The older fans maybe, but we’ve got young kids whose first experience of Maiden was ‘Brave New World.’

“Personally, I think it’s bullshit.

“Songs on Brave New World are classics now. When we play Blood Brothers or Dance of Death, the roar from the crowd is huge!

Argentina hornets nest when he interviews reactions can in Buenos Aries, Falklands war between the two countries an idea of waving the Union Jack is back about Dickinson said in the early 80's poked. Dickinson retorted:

“We went through this 10 or 15 years ago. So what – I go out and wave an Argentinean flag? It’s about history – Argentina didn’t fight in the Crimean War

“We do Aces High in Germany and we’re shooting down German planes. It’s about history. We do a lot of songs about different periods of history.

“The issue [with the flag in Argentina] has gone away”
