If you watch any Iron Maiden member on stage today compared to 1980, especially Steve Harris, you can see the same fire burning, the body may get old, but the passion for music seem un-altered by time, if not enhanced...
Comparing Di'Anno led Maiden and Dickinson led Maiden is useless-- it's like comparing Mantle-era Yankees and the DiMaggio era Yankees-- THEY BOTH WON THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! They were just different, but just as legendary. Actually, that Maiden could go on and be just as good after Paul left is a credit to Murray and Harris most of all-- they are the only ones who stayed through it all and the ones IMHO who make the "Maiden sound" truly what it has been for the past 35 years.
Well being an old timer, I started out with listening to the first 2 albums with Paul over and over. I was indeed sad to see him leave the band but must say I still loved maiden with Bruce none the less. I just slap in whatever album i feel in the mood for on any given day :)
my parents didn't like him, today the kids don't like him, but i like. paul was the original 'maiden' and the singing mummy who came after him is not.
@23schiller The first Maiden song I ever heard with Di'anno was their cover of "Women in Uniform." Since then I've been hooked, and can't listen to Bruce sing any of the old Di'anno era songs, it's just not the same.
been in this pub in london The Ruskin Arms... something weird...nowadays there's an indian family running the stuff....u can still smell the past....the small stage is still there and there is some pics behind the bar. New bands are still playing on sat. Was one of my best life experiences.
Ese pub es el Ruskin Arms, fue una experiencia increible haberlo visitado, aun se siente el olor al pasado. Una familia de hindus lo mantiene, el pequeño escenario aun esta y hay fotos de maiden en el bar.
Bruce is excellent but I also like the way Paul sings. I like Maiden albums til the number of beast cause aggresiveness, rough edgy sound and personality of each song were clealy different & unique.
love the harmony in this-I was 14 in 1980..Wasn't quite old enough to see them in hollywood at the clubs. Too bad they were awesome. My first concert was rush at the fabulous forum on the signals tour. ok but not great then saw AC/DC that was great..then the original farewell tour for the who in 82 still have the bandana..The clash was booed off stage..
Why is everyone bitching about what MAIDEN has become?? I have been a maiden fan from album 1 IRON MAIDEN. Some stuff is better than other stuff, I would agree. But I seen Paul on tour a few months back and there is no way we could front the band today, his head and heart wasn't in it, he would be dead today... The band has evolved and it wouldn't be possible with out some changes. I do love the old stuff and listen to it daily along with some newer "post 85 is what I call newer"
maiden in its truest form, what happened, people were lucky as shit to see that up close, what i wouldnt give, just look at the views people dont know the true iron maiden. it was way before bruce. these poor people really missed out.
this is maiden.....bruce doesnt come close......solid vocals....the way maiden was supposed to sound....run to the hills, are you kidding me, what were they thinking
@bmsingl22 A lot of people have been brainwashed into thinking that The Number of the beast is 'the classic'. But it was only that way because it was popular. The same people are praising their new horribly shitty album.
@dieterderblau He didn't get on with Rod Smallwood, and apparently "listened to the wrong kind of music" sometimes. Personally, I think it's cause they first tried to get Adrian Smith in the band but he was still in Urchin but then they saw him again after it had disbanded and decided they'd rather have him than Den.
Its stupid when people try to compare Bruce and Paul because you simply cant. They both have their own completey different styles. Bruce is more metal and Paul is more Punk.
@ranXerox09 i agree , i am a big sabbath fan aswell and i like old maiden because they had that intensity that sabbath has aswell back then that honest rough rock and roll sound , the talent screams off those two albums !
This is so great. Amazing performance. I love this song. Paul sounds excellent. They all do. I like almost all Maiden. But those first two records got to me the most.
I remember back in the day, Di'Anno was pretty much the reason why we metalheads and the punkrockers in Halifax could agree on Iron Maiden. Was kind of one of the original cross-overs between the two genres...these guys and Lemmy/Motorhead....in my humble experience anyway.
i love the first maiden album! i remember in youth i was lying there half sleeping, smoking and listening this song.. everything was alright and great!
Paul was fired, but that doesn't take away from what he did for Iron Maiden. He wrote this song and it's still one of the best of a great band. Plenty of bands have played it and covered it. Tribute-bands always include this song. Even Bruce sings this song once in a while.
Bruce have a great vocal range but his voice dont the émotional power than Paul have..
Paul is a rock and roll singer and Bruce a heavy métal singer... 2 maiden 2 types of singing
Paul is a powerful singer one of the best of the 80's but not a havy métal singer bruce is a classic heavy métal singer but not a rock and roll singer... he can't sing the song of Paul very well because ihe lacks the émotional power the rage of Paul .....
I've been there, just some weeks ago...it's a kind of haunted place, still you got the feeling of this early days despite that currently the pub is running by an Indian family it seems. You 'll see pics of the latest visits of Harris and Di'anno...its still a very friendly pub.
O ambiente era Punk, na época. O Iron Maiden surgiu neste ambiente, com proposta de som diferente. Esta transição foi feita por Dianno. Ele, portanto, foi importantíssimo, para o sucesso da banda até hoje.
I respect Bruce, but I prefer Di Anno, I had the chance to hear this song live recently and he rocks!. To compare Bruce and Paul is nonsense, Bruce maybe fits better in Maiden, but but as Paul told me once: "bah! I came from Punk...". visit my fansite diannobeast(dotcom)
Now THIS is MAIDEN at their finest.There are some CUNTS on some other vids talking like immature kids fighting over which singer is better & i swear they want to blow "bruce bruce".it's pretty funny
His facts are right...do you know anything of Maiden's history? Paul was preforming more and more like shit due to alcohol/drugs. That's why they fired him.
