Samson forged the roar; Iron Maiden turned it into a global alarm system. Read more...
Bruce Dickinson, Bruce Dickinson is the rare frontman who can sound like a human air-raid siren and still tell a story. Before the arenas, I track him in
Samson (1979–1981)
, where the voice sharpened into steel. He joined Iron Maiden in 1981 and powered their classic run through 1993, then returned in 1999 and has stayed ever since. Between the big chapters he kept moving: a solo career from 1990 onward, plus the short, sharp Skunkworks detour in 1996. On stage he’s theatrical without slipping into pantomime—commanding, precise, and oddly disciplined for heavy metal. Timeline: Samson ’79–’81; Maiden ’81–’93 and ’99–now; solo from ’90; Skunkworks ’96. And yeah, never boring.
SAMSON's "Thank You And Goodnight" is a live LP that captures the band's raw and energetic performance at the Reading Festival in 1984. The album showcases SAMSON's distinctive sound and powerful stage presence, which made them one of the most popular bands of the British heavy metal scene in the 1980s.
