Iron Maiden is currently promoting their new documentary “Burning Ambition”, directed by Malcolm Venville, and Bruce Dickinson explained in an interview with Heavy why they gave the production team editorial freedom, something not many bands do when documentaries about them are being made. Bruce Dickinson explains why Iron Maiden gave editorial freedom for the new documentary "When we knew there was going to be a documentary, the first thing was that we really didn't want to be involved in it in terms of editorial or whatever. You have to have a hands-off approach, because you want somebody to look at it and tell the story. Obviously, there's so many… this documentary could be ten hours long, but then everybody would lose the will to live. (Laughs)” “So you've got to make the story concise. There are going to be fans who say, 'Oh, they missed out this and what about that' — yeah, sure, but for people who don't know the story of Iron Maiden, this is a great introduction to the band. Because of that, we wanted an external take on our career and you can't really be fiddling about with that and going in every five minutes saying 'change this' or 'I don't like that', 'Oh, my hair looks messy in that picture.' None of that crap. We're not a bunch of poodles. It is a bit warts and all, but I think that's great. There's nothing in there that I would want to change." Besides interviews with members of the band from all eras, like Blaze Bayley, the documentary also features the actor Javier Bardem, Metallica’s drummer Lars Ulrich and rapper Chuck D.
