Much has already been said about the apparent infinite abilities of Bruce Dickinson, who if it wasn’t enough to “just” be the lead singer of Iron Maiden, he is also an airline pilot, fencer, writer, radio presenter, speaker, brewmaster, etc, etc, etc. But there’s one skill he admits he doesn’t have—and says that, if he did, he would certainly have more information included in his biography.

It happened during a conversation with 4GQTV, with a transcription made by Blabbermouth, where the theme became comic books, which are related to his most recent solo work, “The Mandrake Project”, with Bruce being asked if he liked the thing.
“Well, I was a fan as a kid. I liked a good story, and to be a good story you need to have complex characters”says Bruce, who then says: “If I knew how to draw as a child, I would certainly have been an artist. But I can’t. I’m one of those who draw people like sticks; I have no drawing skills at all, I just love it when I see something like that”.

But Bruce says he compensates for this lack of skill with other predicates: “I can visualize things, I just can’t draw, which is good for artists, because you can count on maniacs like me coming up with ideas, and you can draw them. But if I could, I would certainly have been a draftsman. But , without skill, you end up becoming a storyteller, regardless of the media in which you are expressing yourself”.
