This album = "Tattooed Millionaire" (1990)
Next album = "Balls to Picasso " (1994)"Tattooed Millionaire" is a hard rock
album released in 1990 byBruce Dickinson . It is his first solo album.The album project began when Dickinson was asked to record a song for the fifth "
Nightmare on Elm Street " movie, which became the song called "Bring your Daughter...to the Slaughter". Collaborating with futureIron Maiden guitaristJanick Gers , Dickinson began to make a solo album which was fundamentally different from his works with Iron Maiden, sounding much more rock-oriented. "Bring your Daughter..." was not included on the original album but Iron Maiden later recorded a different version that was included on their 1990 album "No Prayer for the Dying ", which ironically became the band's only number one single to date. The introduction to the song "No Lies" is also reminiscent of Iron Maiden's version of "Bring your Daughter...to the Slaughter".Fact|date=June 2008Track listing
