  • Dennis Wilcock was the second singer for the band Iron Maiden. He was in the band only briefly, from 1976 to 1977. Wilcock used many special effects onstage with Maiden, including fake blood and pyrotechnics, and used face paint similar to Kiss. In 1977, he had an argument with Dave Murray after a gig which resulted in the vocalist leaving Maiden to form a new band with former Maiden guitarist Terry Wapram. In 1979 Dennis joined North London hard rock band Gibraltar as lead vocalist. After rehearsals the band took up a weekly residency at the Ruskin Arms, East Ham. The Ruskin Arms best being known for being the starting place for bands such as The Small Faces and Iron Maiden. Gibraltar were formed in 1978 by guitarist Tony Miles, previously of Tush, former musical collaborator with Phil Collen of Def Leppard, and drummer Jim Lassen. Many auditions were undertaken to find the blend of musicians and ended up with several line-ups with a strong Iron Maiden flavour. First to join was bass player Steve Parsons, who was swiftly followed by his brother ex-Maiden guitarist Tony Parsons. Soon after the line-up was completed with the addition of Dennis. Steve and Tony Parsons left going their separate ways,coming together again in the early 80's to form their own band Press Gang, and it wasn't until the arrival of ex-Tush bassist Mickey Tickton, that the band stabilised. Ex-Maiden guitarist Bob Sawyer also featured at one point. Jim Lassen later left for personal reasons and was replaced by ex-Maiden drummer Ron Matthews who was also briefly a member of Press Gang. Gibraltar finally parted company in 1981 but not before having recorded a three track demo at Spaceward Studios, Cambridge. Iron Maiden had incidentally recorded their first demos in the same studio. The band briefly reunited in the late 80's to play a number of benefit gigs. The line-up for these was Dennis Wilcok, Tony Miles, Mickey Tickton and drummer "Spanner", former drummer for ex-Bad Company guitarist Dave Colwell. Dennis left music to pursue a career in life insurance.
  • Dennis Wilcock oli englantilaisen heavy metal -yhtye Iron Maidenin laulaja vuosina 1976-1977. Teatraalinen lavaesiintyjä Wilcock lauloi Iron Maidenin konserteissa punaisen tähden tapainen kasvomaalaus oikean silmänsä ympärillä. Hänen lavashownsa eräs numero oli "viiltää" omat suupielensä halki miekalla ja purskauttaa tekoverta poskiin piilotetuista kapseleista. Vuonna 1977 Wilcock aiheutti käytöksellään useiden Iron Maidenin jäsenten eron yhtyeestä. Hän savusti muun muassa kitaristi Dave Murrayn Iron Maidenistä varsin pikkumaisella syyllä: Wilcock ei pitänyt Murrayn tyttöystävästä. Dennis Wilcockin lyhytaikainen Iron Maiden -pesti loppui keväällä 1977 hänen ilmoitettua eräänä iltana ennen konserttia, ettei häntä kiinnostanut jatkaa yhtyeen laulajana.
  • Dennis Wilcock fut le deuxième chanteur du groupe de heavy metal traditionnel britannique Iron Maiden de 1976 à 1977. Wilcock fit avec Iron Maiden un usgae intensif des effets spéciaux sur scène, dont usage de faux sang et effets pyrotechniques, comme pour son groupe favori, Kiss. Il persuada le leader du groupe, Steve Harris, de remplacer les autres membres du groupe et notamment son ami Dave Murray, qui reviendra peu après. En revanche, aucune personne ne vint remplacer le clavier alors dans la formation. Six mois plus tard, Harris virait Wilcock et les autres membres pour rappeler Dave Murray. Wilcock avait déjà joué avec Harris dans le groupe "Smiler" avec Doug Sampson et les deux frères Mick et Tony Clee. C'est Harris qui quittera le groupe pour fonder Iron Maiden dans sa toute première formation.
  • Dennis rimase nella band per poco tempo, dal 1976 al 1977, e usò molti effetti speciali nelle esibizioni on stage con i Maiden, tra i quali sangue finto e giochi pirotecnici. Era solito dipingersi la faccia come i componenti dei KISS. Dennis convinse il fondatore del gruppo, Steve Harris, a licenziare e sostituire i restanti membri della band, tra i quali il chitarrista Dave Murray e a inserire nel gruppo, per la prima volta nella storia, un tastierista. Dopo sei mesi, Harris licenziò Wilcock e il resto della nuova band, richiamando a sé Dave Murray.
  • Dennis Wilcock was de tweede zanger van de band Iron Maiden. Hij zat voor een korte tijd in de band, van 1976 tot 1977. Wilcock gebruikte veel special effects op het podium met Iron Maiden, onder andere vals bloed en gezichtsbeschildering die vergelijkbaar zijn met Kiss. In 1977 had hij een ruzie met Dave Murray na een voorval die ervoor zorgde dat de gitarist Iron Maiden verliet en terugging voor een korte tijd naar Adrian Smith in Urchin. Hierna verliet ook Willcock zelf de band en werd vervangen door Paul Di'Anno. Wilcock wordt gezien als de bedenker van de band mascotte: Eddie
  • Dennis «Den» Wilcock var vokalist i det britiske heavy metal-bandet Iron Maiden i perioden 1976 til 1977. Han hadde tidligere vært vokalist i Smiler, det samme bandet som grunnleggeren av Iron Maiden, Steve Harris, også hadde vært medlem av. Wilcock var grunnen til at gitarist Dave Murray for en kort tid sluttet i Iron Maiden. Wilcock og Murray hadde en krangel etter en konsert i begynnelsen av 1977, og resulterte i at Wilcock ga Murray «en på tygga». Murray forlot bandet og begynte i barndomsvennen Adrian Smiths band Urchin. I midten av 1977 fant imidlertid Wilcock at han hadde fått nok av Iron Maiden, og sluttet like før en konsert. Dette førte til en lengre periode hvor Iron Maiden nesten ikke hadde medlemmer i det hele tatt, før Dave Murray m. fl. sluttet seg til bandet igjen i midten av 1978.

Zachęcił też Harrisa do wyrzucenia z zespołu gitarzysty Dave'a Murraya. Nakłonił go także do użycia po raz pierwszy i ostatni klawiszy. Po sześciu miesiącach Harris wyrzucił Wilcocka.
