When asked why Maiden are still touring so intensively, Bruce explains that he simply loves performing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I walk out onstage, it\u2019s one of the few moments during my life when the rest of the world can go to hell,\u201d he says. \u201cOn a really good night, you completely lose yourself in some weird higher power that takes you over. You inhabit the song, your voice just seems to anticipate everything, and that\u2019s why I do it. Simple as that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, we bring you the untold story of System Of A Down<\/a>\u2019s early years. From Serj Tankian\u2019s first song, to Daron Malakian\u2019s soap opera binges, to Shavo Odadjian\u2019s initial role as the band\u2019s hype man \u2013 it\u2019s all here.<\/p>\n

We also celebrate 20 years of Bring Me The Horizon<\/a>\u2019s debut album, Count Your Blessings. It might have been a scrappy set of songs from a MySpace band hated by traditional metalheads, but it marked the beginning of their incredible rise to the top.<\/p>\n
