Bruce's first solo album (made and released while he was still in
Iron Maiden… the first time) wasn't what anyone expected. It's generic hard rock. You could place it on your shelf next to something like
Aerosmith and they'd probably get along just fine. It has occasional nods to
Bowie and includes a
Mott the Hoople cover that isn't terrible, but overall it has nothing of the spark that he brought to
Maiden or even his own later solo works. His voice is as strong as ever but the music isn't particularly memorable beyond the really rather good opening track.
Songs of Note:
Son of a Gun;
Gypsy Road
1½ air raid sirens that failed to fire out of 5
