What Does This Button Do?: An Autobiography

2018 | Nakladatelství Folio, spol.s r.o.

`I was spotty, wore an anorak, had biro-engraved flared blue jeans with "purple" and "Sabbath" written on the thighs, and rode an ear-splittingly uncool moped. Oh yes, and I wanted to be a drummer...' Bruce Dickinson - Iron Maiden's legendary front man - is one of the world's most iconic singers and songwriters. But th…ere are many strings to Bruce's bow, of which larger-than-life lead vocalist is just one. He is also an airline captain, aviation entrepreneur, motivational speaker, beer brewer, novelist, radio presenter, film scriptwriter and an international fencer: truly one of the most unique and interesting men in the world. In What Does this Button Do? Bruce contemplates the rollercoaster of life. He recounts - in his uniquely anarchic voice - the explosive exploits of his eccentric British childhood, the meteoric rise of Maiden, summoning the powers of darkness, the philosophy of fencing, brutishly beautiful Boeings and firmly dismissing cancer like an uninvited guest. Bold, honest, intelligent and funny, this long-awaited memoir captures the life, heart and mind of a true rock icon, and is guaranteed to inspire curious souls and hard-core fans alike. `I was spotty, wore an anorak, had biro-engraved flared blue jeans with "purple" and "Sabbath" written on the thighs, and rode an ear-splittingly uncool moped.

Bruce Dickinson

Bruce Dickinson je anglický zpěvák, skladatel a hudebník, známý především jako zpěvák heavymetalové skupiny Iron Maiden. Dickinson se narodil 7. srpna 1958 ve Worksopu v hrabství Nottinghamshire a zpočátku se proslavil na počátku 80. let, kdy se připojil k Iron Maiden. Debutoval na jejich třetím albu "The Number of the Beast" , které skupinu katapultovalo mezi mezinárodní hvězdy. Kromě působení v Iron Maiden má Dickinson za sebou úspěšnou sólovou kariéru. Své první sólové album "Tattooed Millionaire" vydal v roce 1990 a následovalo několik dalších desek včetně "Balls to Picasso" , "Accident of Birth" a "The Chemical Wedding" . Tato díla představila rozmanitou škálu hudebních stylů a upevnila jeho pověst všestranného a talentovaného umělce. Kromě své hudební kariéry je Dickinson známý i svými aktivitami mimo hudbu, mimo jiné jako pilot dopravních letadel, spisovatel, moderátor rozhlasových pořadů a podnikatel.
