And, I'm sorry, but no matter how much I try I simply don't see what's so good about it. There are about 3 songs which I like, 1 which I really like and the rest is either mediocre or utter drivel.
Sorry Bruce!
Sorry Bruce!
Just spent the best part of the afternoon listening to the Bruce solo stuff

Bruce said when he left Maiden that he wanted to do something different and his first solo albums after leaving are that. It's difficult for a lot of Maiden fans to get into Skunkworks and Balls to Picasso. I like them, but it was a bit of a surprise the first few listens. They're definately not metal, maybe alternative, some say grunge. Most people who like Maiden like AoB the best and usually CW, too, so if you didn't like them, maybe you won't be a Bruce solo fan. That's OK. I forgive you.
But try to listen to AoB a few more times before you give up on him.
Also, just as info, Tattooed Millionaire is what I'd call a fun album. It has that 80's hair metal type feel. So if you're into that, give it a try.
As you can probably tell, I conside myself a Bruce solo fan first and a Maiden fan second. But we can still all live in harmony here, people.

So far, I don't agree at all. In fact I would go as far as to say the post-Maiden Blaze solo stuff is better than the Bruce solo stuff.

Chemical Wedding is the second greatest album Bruce has ever sung on, second only to seventh son.
Nightwing
The Equalizer......

Agreed. I am a particularly big fan of AOB.
Both AOB and CW are light years ahead of the shite maiden did with Blaze, IMHO.

Same here! I only like 2 songs from his solo career.
And Blaze's solo material is hell of a lot better than Bruce's solo material.

The only Bruce solo album that is utter drivel is Tattooed Millionaire, although I only like about half each of BTP and Skunkworks...

BIF, what happened? You used to be cool but with comments like that your credibility in dishing out opinions in music will be gone.

Shaddap!
I am still credible. Seriously, Bruce's solo career is among the very few types of music I can't get into.
