Iron Maiden singer and qualified pilot Bruce Dickinson airlifted 200 British citizens who had fled war torn Beirut, Lebanon, back to the United Kingdom yesterday. The 47-year-old flew a Boeing 757 to Cyprus where he picked up the evacuees and flew them back to London's Gatwick Airport.

Goddamn.

Of course, now I'm singing "Flight of Icarus" to myself.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 July 2006 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

Fuck Sharon Osbourne? Or fuck Ariel Sharon?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 21 July 2006 18:56 (nineteen years ago)

Pretty impressive but if I'm not mistaken there was once some story about Perry Farrel freeing some slaves in Africa.

― jimnaseum (jimnaseum), Friday, 21 July 2006 18:58 (nineteen years ago)

What does Sharon have to do with anything? He's in a coma you fucking twit.

― New Media Intern (New Media Intern), Friday, 21 July 2006 19:02 (nineteen years ago)

That's what he wants you to think.

"What does Sharon have to do with anything? He's in a coma you fucking twit."

Hostile much?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 21 July 2006 19:11 (nineteen years ago)

Fuck Sharon Osbourne too. She tried to fuck with Maiden last year on Ozzfest. Bad idea.

― Bill Magill (Bill Magill), Friday, 21 July 2006 19:26 (nineteen years ago)

Probably referring to this:

Way to go, Iron Maiden dude!

Yes yes yes I knew that. It was a joke people. Sheesh.

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 21 July 2006 20:24 (nineteen years ago)

But has anyone ever seen Ariel Sharon and Sharon Osbourne in the same room at the same time?

― max (maxreax), Friday, 21 July 2006 20:37 (nineteen years ago)

Gore/Dickinson ticket for 2008 then.

this is so fucking awesome

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Friday, 21 July 2006 20:56 (nineteen years ago)

yay bruce! he seems so cool.

"FUCK SHARON" sounds better than "FUCK OLMERT." it's also more (sexually) ambivalent.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 21 July 2006 21:06 (nineteen years ago)

ariel sharon is probably better lookin' than sharon osbourne.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 21 July 2006 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

jesus christ, bruce dickinson rules.

LOVE the SHIT out of ol' Bruce Bruce. I was just telling my wife two or three days ago how Maiden - Dickinson in particular - were not yr average metal meatheads, how they're all well-read, highly intelligent, Rennaissance Man type dudes.

― The Trooper (Roger Fidelity), Saturday, 22 July 2006 04:00 (nineteen years ago)

"not yr average metal meatheads?" when george gets ahold of you...

― GOD PUNCH TO HAWKWIND (yournullfame), Saturday, 22 July 2006 05:42 (nineteen years ago)

Yow. I remember Dickinson once giving a long interview on a rock station in Virginia, where I grew up. He spent a long time talking about the abuse of religion at the hands of god-botherers -- a very gutsy thing to do in Pat Robertson's backyard.

― Rickey Wright (Rrrickey), Saturday, 22 July 2006 06:24 (nineteen years ago)

Best heavy metal moment ever! Kind of makes all the stage theatrics and macho posturing used by any other band seem a bit, oh, meaningless, when compared to flying a fucking plane into a warzone and rescuing your countrymen. Up the Irons!

― Davlo (Davlo), Monday, 24 July 2006 00:04 (nineteen years ago)

Does "Fuck Sharon Pt. 1" exist or is this like Shook Ones?

― cracktivity1 (cracktivity1), Monday, 24 July 2006 03:11 (nineteen years ago)

It was just linked upthread!

― Marmot 4-Tay: Hold these goddamn chickens! (marmotwolof), Monday, 24 July 2006 03:15 (nineteen years ago)

TS: Busharon vs. Dubyolmert

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Monday, 24 July 2006 04:59 (nineteen years ago)

to literally fuck ariel sharon right now would be really gross, seeing as the guy is currently a terri shiavo-style human vegetable. kinda like his fellow likudnik asshole, yitzhak shamir.

then again, throw on the geto boys' "mind of a lunatic" to get "in the mood" and have a blast. for all we know, willie d. may be nearby (last i heard, that guy had become a real estate mogul in azerbaijan!)

Is Israel bombing Cyprus now as well?

― Edward III (edward iii), Monday, 24 July 2006 12:38 (nineteen years ago)

pwned

-- Edward III

Edward, it's more the fact that it takes balls, big ones, to do what he did. Israel isn't bombing Cyprus, but who's to say that Hezbollah won't be soon?

― Davlo (Davlo), Monday, 24 July 2006 19:03 (nineteen years ago)

But what does that dude from Godflesh think about all this?

― Eppy (Eppy), Monday, 24 July 2006 19:13 (nineteen years ago)

Bruce sings a three hour show and then flies the band's plane from someplace like Bombay to Bangkok. These guys are fucking MASSIVE globally, and Bruce flies them everywhere. An interesting guy, who has lived a really cool life.

― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 23:23 (fourteen years ago)

the face is A+...i'd also like to comment on the interviewer leaning in so far it looks like she's doubled over with bowel cramps for the entire thing

― Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 23:25 (fourteen years ago)

in that case dont search for my sharon osbourne poll whatever you do! lol

im sure you know about how that particular word is used differently in the uk than elsewhere. But some american posters didn't and weren't happy!

― it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 23:35 (fourteen years ago)

well it's between her and Thatcher for national mascot of the term :)

but shes out there on her own

― it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 23:40 (fourteen years ago)

agreed

though it remains to be seen what would happen if Sharon Osbourne occupied a seat in parliament

eleven years pass...

anybody peeped the new Dickinson solo album? really digging it on first listen, his voice is in fine form and the songwriting pretty inspired

Haven't heard it yet, but Stereogum ran a pretty good interview with him yesterday.

― Tahuti Watches L&O:SVU Reruns Without His Ape (unperson), Saturday, 2 March 2024 17:51 (two years ago)

The Three Tremors was a planned vocal trio featuring Dickinson, Judas Priest’s Rob Halford, and Ronnie James Dio — then, when Dio died, Queensrÿche’s Geoff Tate. It sadly never got off the ground.

Why did this not happen?!
