Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson documents the fascinating history of the rock codpiece - from the romantically nostalgic codpiece sported by Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull, to Gene Simmons' studded (and padded) sexually charged netherwarmer, to the multi-fuctional firework-and-saw codpiece slung between the legs of W.A.S.P.'s Blackie Lawless.
Clip taken from Arena: Heavy Metal, originally broadcast on BBC Two, 7 April, 1989.

Bruce's description of care versus intensive care reminds me of something you'd hear in Spinal Tap. π

Bruce!, Bruce!, Bruce! I still hear the crowd chanting at his show that I just saw couple of days ago in Brooklyn, it was amazing as always , wish he had a second show too. One of the best rock vocalists of all time and certainly the most unique , love you Bruceπ€β€οΈβ

Arena heavy metal documentary! I taped this on VHS and watched it over and over again. I was a big Maiden fan GNR fan but this introduced me to loads of other bands like Slayer and Megadeth! π€
