Not sure who this interviewer is, but he's one of the best North American hosts I've seen. He lets his guest talk, responds sensibly, doesn't have a huge ego, yet is casual enough to make it sound like you're eavesdropping on a normal conversation.

I love the fact that lots of commenters are not just happy to see Bruce, but are also blown away by this awesome interviewer - Really happy that good journalists get respect where its due more and more these days.

I'd like to meet him. Seems like ANY DUDE ya might meet. Grounded in reality. And not dilluded by his fame or that of the band. Be nice to drink "Red 'n Black" and just talk to the man.

The only thing wrong with this interview is that it isn't 2 days long. Just incredible, interviewer is excellent, and you can't help but admire Bruce for so many reasons, as well as all of Iron Maiden. What a treasure.

I have never heard Bruce talking in so open way - about his life, the band, Steve's amazing and profound lyrics, about his illness...He seems to become a humble person. I liked him so much and like him him twice more now! And really, The Book of Souls, has an amazing lyrics. You can feel that power energy and the cruel reality of daily life, as well. We are not going to live here forever - but in fact, we will live forever:-) Life after death goes on!

Great, great interview. This has to be the best radio interview we've seen/heard done. Never interrupts, great questions and Bruce is a superb guest that doesn't go on and on because he's in love with the sound of his voice. Need more like this. We wish he and the band we'll.

Excellent interview. Dealt with Prostate cancer last year and beat it (different cancer than Bruce of course) but happy to hear he's on the other side of it. Earned a sub on this one.

Bruce seems genuinely impressed by how insightful the questions are. Great interview

It's very rare that an interviewer doesn't interrupt after asking a question awesome job Shad!

I love Bruce. Good man with a legacy

Firstly respect to the interviewer Shad - what a lovely guy & does an amazing job. Bruce may be a pilot but is metal through & through. His tenacity to overcome his illness and boldness mentally & physically is astounding. I worried for his voice back on the road but you would never know this happened!

bruce is the coolest and most genuine guy ever

Don't know the guy conducting the interview but he's one of the best I've seen. Very astute young man with a natural gift for bringing content out of the interviewee. Excellent stuff.

I like how he introduced the word entertainer for himself. It was actually quite accurate.

I've just discovered this interview with Bruce after spending Saturday 8th July 2023 at the 02 Arena in London watching/listening to Iron Maiden rock the place down. I can tell you for sure, his voice was totally on point. Great interview.

I just finished my throat cancer treatment and his description is spot on, especially how one has two choices to react to it.

Terrific interviewer. Intelligent questions, great insight, knowledge of Bruce and the band and great respect for the material.

I love this q guy interviewer! What an intelligent conversationalist!

Bruce is such an inspiring person, a real someone to look up to. I really loved the interview!

Great interview and a perfect host, who knows what ist important for an interview. Choosing good questions. Right mixture between seriously and with humor (what belongs in music ,) ) and he ist listening to the answeres and takes position to it. He is in the whole thing and not working blindly through a (boring) catalouge. Great thing. This is the way what I understand under the term interview and radioshow.

17:53 You cannot help but admire anyone with this outlook and attitude. Bruce is the man

One of the best interviews I have heard in a long time. Granted, Bruce is a dynamic subject...

Great interview! Shad is really good.

he had EVERY REASON in the book to hate life and everyone, but instead even with cancer he said "Lets show this world what i can do" which is the most badass thing you can do. UP THE IRONS

i've seem maiden like 7 times. book of souls 2015 is easily the best show i've seen them do. it was outstanding

This was an excellent interview that was nicely different from the average type of question and answer. Kudos to the interviewer!

GREAT INTERVIEWER.

Seeing Bruce talk about Steve's songwriting was really an awesome segment of this interview! The part about the ambiguity makes a lot of sense if you've seen Harris interviewed (or if you're a careful observer of Maiden lyrics), but nonetheless it's great to get this inside glimpse from this brilliant band's other lyricist.

Around 11 minutes in, he described Metallica perfectly. They made three awesome records in a 4-5 year span (KA/RTL/MOP) and that became their bedrock. They should take more time of their records (like Death Magnetic) to get that bedrock sound back instead of rushing through albums. Bruce is a genius.

@Joe Garza I was thinking the exact same thing.

This may sound unusual to some, but as a hip hop artist/producer, iron maiden has probably inspired me more than any other artist, group or band. I'm getting into more sample based music, bit not in the classic sampling sense. I create my own melodies and then choo them up. But I don't chop them the way most people chop Samples. And that's sort of where the iron maiden inspiration comes into play. They dared to be different. And not only did they dare to be different, they dared to be extremely different bringing bruce I to the band. It turned them from a punk rock band to a heavy metal powerhouse that would eventually become a force to be reckoned with. I think far to many bands and artists nowadays are too afraid to break the mold. They're all stuck on a hamster wheel. It's why most music these days sounds the same. This message isn't really to fans of music but to musicians. Don't be afraid to be different. Iron maiden and Bruce weren't afraid and neither should you. They're probably the most successful indie band that ever existed. There's a lot to learn from their history. It's definitely a master class on the indie music business. Regardless of what type of music you make there is a lot to learn from these guys.
