Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson reacts to AC/DC’s new music

Bruce Dickinson has given his review of AC/DC and the band’s frontman Brian Johnson since the two often get compared.

The Iron Maiden vocalist revealed his candid thoughts about the band’s seventeenth studio album Power Up.

"Oh God, wow (“Powerage”). It’s AC/DC, what can I say? With Bon Scott! I got to say, I like what AC/DC are doing right now with Brian Johnson with the latest albums. I like that more than ‘Hell’s Bells’ and definitely more than ‘For Those About to Rock,’" the Children of the Damned contributor said.

Bruce added that he preferred the hard rock band’s earlier songs with vocalist Bon Scott and acknowledged his loss before reflecting on how it adapted to Brian’s voice.

"They’ve kind of taken back control of their sound and changed it slightly to suit Brian’s voice. But their first years with Bon, up until the end of ‘Highway To Hell’, wow. That live album ‘If You Want Blood You’ve Got It’, God! That’s just incredible,” the 67-year-old added.

Bruce also dished on his personal favourite from AC/DC’s discography, which came from their 1976 album Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap called Ride On.
