Bruce, it would seem, doesn't have much time for awards, or mainstream media either: "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 toJethro 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."
Iron Maiden is currently on the European leg of their Final Frontier world tour, in support of the album of the same name that was released last year. Dickinson is once again piloting the band from show to show in their customised Boeing 747 Jet, Ed Force One. The band's shows in Buenos Aries and Santiago from last month were filmed for an upcoming DVD release. Maiden drummer Nicko McBrainhas also been involved in a charity single orchestrated by Deep Purple front man Ian Gillan and Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi. The single, titled "Out Of My Mind", also features ex-Metallica bassist Jason Newsted and Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord.
