During the press junket for his new autobiography, What Does This Button Do?, Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson spoke with Sweden's TV4 program, Nyhetsmorgon. Watch the video below.

Asked if he thinks he's as good as an artist now as he was before, Bruce answers: "I think we're playing, as a band, better than we were in the '80s, and the evidence is there... you can hear it in the live recordings and things. As an artist, you learn so much more about your craft, if you like, just your stage craft, and also the things you can do with your voice. So you do learn a lot more about things like that."

Following the massively successful global tour of 2016/17 in support of their sixteenth studio album The Book Of Souls, Iron Maiden will take to the road again in 2018 with a series of arena and festival shows in Europe on the Legacy Of The Beast World Tour, opening in Tallinn, Estonia on May 26th and finishing at the O2 Arena, in London.
