DC were playing the old Glasgow Apollo with the Balcony almost coming down- not quite the size Maiden were at the time of recording but ( I remember Brian indicating on the Ballbreaker tour as a collective how anticipated Glasgow was) for him personally - obviously Newcastle was huge- I would think. Remember a friend almost being in tears watching that Maiden Live Video in ‘85 on the VHS. Loved his Purgatory T Shirt and Clive though.

The clear influence of the blues on ACDC's music is pointed out far too rarely. I'm glad that one of my favorite singers, who also made a tremendous contribution to Iron Maiden's success, named this important element precisely. The blues is in the sound of ACDC, in the guitar of Angus and in Bon's voice.

But I told the clerk that it was Bruce Dickinson’s autograph . Which He thought was cool. So maybe it’s somewhere.

Hells Bells is the definite Brian era song, especially the studio version. Bruce says he likes their recent albums, and he said "definitely more than For Those About To Rock". He didn't say anything more than that. On this he's totally off, but that is his opinion. I totally agree with him regarding Scott era and Ride On. That is the most soaring and beautiful Scott performance put on any AC/DC record. Also the Powerage and If you Want Blood albums are great.

The year was 1989 and my friend Graham was trying to get (12 year old) me to listen to heavy metal bands. I heard Metallica, Megadeath and Judas Priest but nothing really landed. Then he played me a song from Iron Maiden and everything changed. I grabbed the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son album album and nearly wore out the tape. Bruce's voice and storytelling had me hooked. To this day, Bruce and Iron Maiden are my favorites. Besides them, Myles Kennedy (solo) and Alter Bridge are the only bands that come close.

It's a matter of record that Bruce wanted the "3 Tremors" project to consist of Halford, Dio and himself. He did NOT want Geoff Tate of Queensryche involved, that was Rod Smallwood who felt the project needed someone a bit "younger". This is why I'm guessing Qobuz made that edit to the video after Bruce was discussing MINDCRIME. Lastly, Chris DeGarmo remained in Queensryche for 3 more albums, and left at the end of 97.

@@mikedegarmo3203 I agree, both Geoff and Bruce are on the "prickly" side, and i also believe deep down in his heart Bruce is a bit jealous of prime Geoff and all the praise Dio gave to him back then, even pointing out that Mindcrime is basically only Chris' work feels like him wanting to diminish Geoff's contribution (Tate/Wilton/Degarmo have almost the same credits on mindcrime, maybe Geoff has even one or two more), but yeah, Dio/Halford/Dickinson would have been quite something back in the day.
