IRON MAIDEN Want Old Gear In Interactive Museum
July 7, 2014, 10 years ago
Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson has insisted if the band ever had their old gear and special memorabilia in a museum, it would have to be interactive rather than "locked away in a glass cabinet".
Bruce Dickinson says Iron Maiden would consider opening an interactive museum. The legendary rocker insisted the group wouldn't want to put their memorabilia behind a glass cabinet where fans aren't able to interact with the history of the band, and joked their mascot Eddie isn't "that sensitive".
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "We've got loads of gear kicking around. I don't want it to end up in some po-faced museum, with people in white suits saying 'Don't touch this'. I donated a jacket to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall Of Fame and it was locked away in a glass cabinet miles away from your eyes. Eddie's not that sensitive."
