I just read the Cheap Trick news on the MR frontpage. I didn't know that Bruce Dickinson produced Cheap Trick. Is this the same Bruce Dickinson who "needs more cowbell?" :D

I believe so. I'm fairly certain that it's NOT the Bruce Dickinson that's the singer in Iron Maiden.

the bruce in that sketch had nothing to do with Dont Fear the Reaper. Sandy Pearlman was the band's producer on that song. I don't know how they got Dickinson mixed up in that sketch. Pearlman was involved with the Cult for many years. See this wiki:

"Bruce Dickinson was a mid-level manager at Columbia Records whose name appears on a Blue Öyster Cult greatest hits CD as the "reissue producer". This Bruce Dickinson is not the vocalist for British heavy metal band Iron Maiden, hence the humor in his boastful declaration of being "THE Bruce Dickinson", as the character was based upon a far less famous figure."
