** Music/BlackSabbath playing "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath"? Great. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgkmt35-shw The same song performed by Bruce Dickinson?]] Unbelievably awesome.
** "Road to Hell" and "The Magician", from ''Accident of Birth''. Both pretty Maiden-ish songs for what Bruce's career is about, especially the former. When you have Adrian Smith in the band, nothing can go wrong.
** His cover of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHr9zmlCNs4 "Black Widow"]] originally by Music/AliceCooper with narration by Creator/VincentPrice, both fairly {{Large Ham}}s in their own right. Bruce brings enough pork for both parts.

* FandomRivalry: For some reason he seems to have one with Music/MotleyCrue's Nikki Sixx, likely due to Bruce's then-wife cheating on him with Nicki. Go to a video when Nicki talks about the experience, and an overwhelming number of Bruce's fans will be expressing their bitter hatred for him.

Since the album has an Alchemy concept running throughout, this song is an allegory to the utter failures that alchemists faced over and over.

* CreatorWorship: Bruce is among one of the most beloved figures in heavy metal amongst not only fans but fellow musicians as well. And considering his status as one of the genre's best and most charismatic vocalists and nicest guys, in addition to his jack-of-all-trades as a fencer, pilot, author, director, screenwriter, actor, marketing director and entrepreneur, it's no surprise that he gets this status.

* BrokenBase: His fans are EXTREMELY divided with regards to ''Skunkworks''. Either it's Bruce being more experimental incorporating some bluesier and jazzier sounds into some more standard hard rock than metal, or it's yet another typical '90s hard rock album with Bruce singing over it, attempting to cash in on the 90s grunge trend. The fact that it was released in 1996 doesn't help matters either.

** ''Tyranny of Souls'' is either one of his best albums or one of his worst. Either it's a continuation of an epic sound on his previous album, or it's a rushed, sloppy rehash of ''Chemical Wedding'' with none of the focus or joy.
