IRON MAIDEN's Bruce Dickinson: Part II Of Metal Hammer Interview About DOWNLOAD Fest!

As previously reported, IRON MAIDEN will be headlining the 2013 edition of the Download Festival at Donington Park, England.

This was during their "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son" tour, from which the current tour draws much of its inspiration for both set list and production as seen in the 1988 long form concert video "Maiden England", making this Download appearance even more unique!

Here is part two of the in-depth interview that Metal Hammer conducted with the pilot of "Ed force One" (Maiden's plane), Mr. Bruce Dickinson!

In celebration of their debut release on E One Music, the band is debuting their brand NEW music video for "Hell Praiser" today via Altpress.com.
