IRON MAIDEN's BRUCE DICKINSON picks the worst song he's ever written

Between the many songs he's written for Iron Maiden and his seven album's worth of solo material, including his 2024 concept album The Mandrake Project, Bruce Dickinson has amassed quite a catalog over his 40-plus years in the game.

In a recent interview for an upcoming print issue, longtime Revolver writer Dan Epstein asked Dickinson to pick what he considers the single greatest track in his catalog — and his selection might surprise you.

Epstein also asked Dickinson to select the absolute worst track he's ever penned, and the singer's answer was just as honest.

"Zulu Lulu"

Oh, there's a few.

Probably 'Zulu Lulu,' [from 1990's Tattooed Millionaire] as it's got one of the worst puns on record: 'She looked me up and down and said, "Assegai for me."' [Laughs]
