Bruce Dickinson. En selvbiografi. What does this button do Jeg hadde kviser, gikk kledd i anorakk, hadde slengbukser der jeg hadde skrevet ‘Purple’ og ‘Sabbath’ med kulepenn på lårene, og jeg kjørte en bråkete teit moped. Å, ja, og jeg ville bli trommeslager ... Bruce Dickinson - Iron Maidens legendariske frontfigur - er en av verdens mest ikoniske sangere og låtskrivere.

Bruce Dickinson: omaelämäkerta. What does this button do? "Minulla oli finnejä, käytin anorakkia ja leveälahkeisia sinisiä farkkuja, joiden reiteen oli kirjoitettu kuulakärkikynällä "Purple" ja "Sabbath", ja huristelin korvia vihlovasti pärisevällä nynnyllä mopolla. Ja halusin ryhtyä rumpaliksi." Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maidenin legendaarinen keulakuva, on yksi maailman tunnetuimmista laulajista ja lauluntekijöistä. Lisäksi hän on myös lentokapteeni, ilmailuyrittäjä, puhuja, oluenpanija, kirjailija, radiojuontaja, elokuvakäsikirjoittaja ja kansainvälisen tason miekkailija. Kirjassaan Bruce Dickinson: omaelämäkerta. What does this button do? Bruce pohtii elämän vuoristorataa. Hän kertoo – omalla anarkistisella tavallaan – epätavallisesta brittiläisestä kasvatuksestaan, Iron Maidenin räjähdysmäisestä läpimurrosta ja pimeyden voimien avuksi kutsumisesta. Hän kirjoittaa miekkailun filosofiasta, lentokoneiden kauneudesta ja kamppailustaan syöpää vastaan. Tämä odotettu omaelämäkerta on rohkea, rehellinen, nokkela ja hauska. Se kuvaa perusteellisesti rocklegendan elämää, rakkauden kohteita ja ajatuksia, ja se tuo takuuvarmasti iloa niin uskollisille faneille kuin muille lukijoille.

New York Times Bestseller “Illuminating and very entertaining…a compelling read about someone who is much more than just the guy who sings for Iron Maiden.” —Loudwire A long-awaited memoir from the larger-than-life, multifaceted lead vocalist of Iron Maiden, one of the most successful, influential and enduring rock bands ever. Pioneers of Britain’s nascent Rock & Metal scene back in the late 1970s, Iron Maiden smashed its way to the top, thanks in no small part to the high-octane performances, operatic singing style, and stage presence of its second, but twice-longest-serving, lead singer, Bruce Dickinson. As Iron Maiden’s front man—first from 1981 to 1993, and then from 1999 to the present—Dickinson has been, and remains, a man of legend. But OTT front man is just one of the many hats Bruce wears. In addition to being one of the world’s most storied and well-respected singers and songwriters, he is an airline captain, aviation entrepreneur, motivational speaker, beer brewer, novelist, radio presenter, and film scriptwriter. He has also competed as a world-class level fencer. Often credited as a genuine polymath Bruce, in his own words (and handwritten script in the first instance!), sets forth many personal observations guaranteed to inspire curious souls and hard-core fans alike. Dickinson turns his unbridled creativity, passion, and anarchic humour to reveal some fascinating stories from his life, including his thirty years with Maiden, his solo career, his childhood within the eccentric British school system, his early bands, fatherhood and family, and his recent battle with cancer. Bold, honest, intelligent and very funny, his memoir is an up-close look inside the life, heart, and mind of one of the most unique and interesting men in the world; a true icon of rock.

In 1918, Aleister Crowley announced that he was leaving New York to go on a ''Magical Retirement''. With his last cent he bought fifty gallons of paint, a large rope and a ticket on a boat going up the Hudson to Oesopus Island. What are you going to eat? asked his friends as he embarked. My children replied Crowley in his most pontifical manner. Oesopus Island has dangerous cliffs on both sides and passengers of passing river-boats were amazed to find, written on the cliffs in red letters ten foot tall: DO WHAT THOU WILT SHALL BE THE LAW Above on the cliffs in meditation sat the tiny figure of Aleister Crowley. His head was shaved except for one forelock which was kept in honour of the phallus. During these meditations he acquired a magical memory to recall his previous lives. The earliest in time was Ko Hsuen, a Chinese sage who had been a disciple of Lao Tse, the great figure of Taoism. Immediately before his present life he had been the French magician Eliphas Levi. On the day of his return to New York, thinner and with a sun tan, he was treated by a friend to lunch at the Plaza Grill. He had whitebait, steak tartare and cream cake, followed by a cigar and Napoleon Brandy. He ate the meal in the secure knowledge that after his death he would return again! Now a CONTROVERSIAL motion picture

Jack Parsons was a brilliant chemist, member of Cal Tech propulsion unit that invented the rocket fuel used for the US space flight to the moon. He was also a fanatical believer in the Magyck of Aleister Crowley the aging occultist who considered himself ''The Beast'' incarnate. In 1947 Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard were performing Crowley''s mystic rituals in a house in Pasadena, California.Parsons wrote excitedly to his occult leader, Crowley: ''I have had the most devastating experience of my life. I have been in direct touch with One who is most Holy and Beautiful as mentioned in your "Book of the Law". First instructions were received through Lafayette Ron Hubbard the seer. I have followed them to the letter. There was a desire for incarnation. I am to act as an instructor, guardian, guide for nine months; then it will be loosed on the world...'' Crowley wrote despairingly to a disciple about Parsons: ''It appears that he has given away both his girl and his money to this writer of science fiction and is now invoking my ritual to produce a Moonchild. I am fairly frantic...'' Nine months later while being visited by two students from Cambridge, Aleister Crowley died of cardiac degeneration. Missing from his personal possessions was his magical diaries and his pocket-watch. His funeral took place in the Chapel of the Brighton Crematorium. The final rites were performed by the novelist Louis Marlowe reading extracts from Crowley''s "Book of the Law". "The Brighton Echo" denounced the whole ceremony as a Black Mass. In 1952 Jack Parsons was blown up in his laboratory in Pasadena. L. Ron Hubbard died on his yacht as leader of the Church of Scientology.But did the issue end with these three deaths? Would Crowley, as he claimed, ever return from death to rule the world? Why did US astronauts name a crater on the moon after Jack Parsons? Is L. Ron Hubbard really dead? What had been generated by the ceremony in California that seemed to signal Crowley''s demise? And what happened to them missing pocket-watch? Unanswered questions till, late in the twentieth century, Dr. Joshua Mathers brought a ''state of the art ''Interactive Suit'' from Cal Tech California to Cambridge in England to begin an experiment that, unknown to mankind, changed the course of our planet.
