‘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 there 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 really didn't think I'd enjoy this book as much as I did! Autobiographies are usually not my thing, but since Dickinson is the singer of Iron Maiden, one of my first positive encounters with Heavy metal in my teens, I was curious to know more about his story. I'm glad I decided to read it, and now I'm once again listening to the band's music to catch up on some of their more decent releases.

Själva berättelsen är kanske inte mycket att jubla över, Jag är heller ingen Iron Maiden fan. Att boken ändå är klart värd att lyssna på är språket, lite engelskt högtravande med en knastertorr humoristisk underton samt att Bruce själv läser upp. Klockrent val.

Kunde inte lyssna på Bruce Dickinson - det blev så fel! Det låter inte som en rockstjärna! Lyssnade dock färdigt på den svenska versionen.
