how about Bruce and Paul singing together?

[62wordman]

lets start a petition to get a reunion tour with paul dianno behind the mic long live paul

[MrHankulley]

Long Live Paul !!

[loknloll]

the truth of the matter is, without Bruce Dickenson, nobody outside of east London England would have heard of this band. we all bought Number of the Beast in 1982 when we were 13 years old, and while waiting for Piece of Mind, we went looking for anything and everything with the red and white Iron Maiden logo on it. which led us to buy the first 2 albums, and to discover the amazing Paul Dianno. without Number of the Beast making Maiden international supertstars, i would have never heard him.

[FyodorMDostoyevsky]

@loknloll ... are you FRIGGIN' KIDDING ME?? Speak for yourself, Johnny Come-Lately. I was 11 years old in 1981, living in Huntington Beach, California. And me and my friends were all into Maiden. My brother saw them twice in California with Paul Dianno.... they had a live ep recorded in Japan- Maiden Japan... and MTV in AMERICA was playing the live video of Wrathchild before Number of the Beast came out. I don't know where you were, but the world was LOVING Iron Maiden before Brucey came along.

[loknloll]

@FyodorMDostoyevsky it's good to hear. i was 12 in 1981. you're fucking lucky; maybe it's being out there in california... it took The # of the Beast and Run to the Hills for us to catch wind of them in Canada. but the Di'anno records are the best of Maiden in my opinion.

[FyodorMDostoyevsky]

@loknloll- I get it. Sorry to jump on you like that, man. But give the Paul Di'Anno lineup the credit they deserve- They toured the world and Killers charted in the top 20 albums in 6 different countries. Look at the crowd photos on Maiden Japan- it's HUGE, they ALL have their arms straight up in the air, and they're LOVING IT! You're right about them becoming SUPERSTARS after NOTB, but saying nobody outside of east London would have heard of them without Bruce is an OBVIOUS mistake, right?

[loknloll]

@FyodorMDostoyevsky no worries. maybe i should check around before making sweeping statements. coming from my perspective, it was hearing number of the beast in grade 7 that made me go out and buy anything, books, Maiden Japan, Women in Uniform cufflinks for christs sake! and of course, that allowed me and my (uninformed) friends to hear the mighty di'anno and classics like transylvania, the ides of march, killers, murders in the rue morgue, and my all time fave - drifter

[TheCozybear65]

saw these dudes in 1980..

[Shardan88]

the best formation: clive,steve,dave,adrian,paul. these are the true iron maiden. killer the best album, a complete masterpiece

[Erpyrikk]

@Shardan88 adrian isnt present here

[Shardan88]

@Erpyrikk i was not referring to this video

[KevLeMalade]

Even though i find Paul amazing, i would have LOVED to hear Bruce rerecord Maiden's first albums. Cause his Audition on Killers is truly amazing :P

[saulocpp]

I see a Hiwatt back there! And they seem to be playing half a tone higher, or no?

[brobolz]

@saulocpp yes bro!I think it's to help paul to get the high notes;)! MAIDEN KICKED MY ASS!!!!!

[Underleaf76]

His energy is awesome and he seems to play the crowd well. Very sad that they had to part ways, I really would liked to have seen where they could have gone with Di'anno. Much respect to you Di'anno!

[mattyp3400]

i always liked number of the beast from the first time i herd it but i wish maiden would of stuck with this direction

[TheCozybear65]

in 1980 , you couldn't ask for better than this, if you were into Heavy Metal. I'm so glad to have been apart of it..~Cheap beer back then as well..and concert tickets!

[66MrDonnie]

Why the Hell did they get rid of this guy?...........He sounds meaner than Bruce!

[HeavenTornAsunder666]

@66MrDonnie He got sloppy and got into drugs.

[66MrDonnie]

@HeavenTornAsunder666 It's a shame cause this rocks..........

[HeavenTornAsunder666]

@66MrDonnie No doubt that Di Anno was a massive part of Maiden and contributed a lot to their sucess, these early shows really are amazing :)

[pussinbouts]

@HeavenTornAsunder666 he got into drugs then got sloppy

[MrVince455]

this is just so Orgasmik!!!! Di Anno kicks ass so hrad!!!

and this bass! no words!!

[picturelife]

omg, paul is a killer-rocker here....O_O

[boiazzeberto]

0:22 OH MY GOD!!!

[tdkdgh]

Cool. I love Bruce and Paul. Fun seeing this vintage stuff. Thanks!

[derSilberMeister]

WRONG,

Bruce is a god, but Paul was the original style of Maiden.

Y'see, when you're young the better stuff come out of you...

getting old just kills your creativity, thats what happen with such great bands such as Metallica, Judas and Maiden too..

[sirlovemehard]

They should have never of gotten rid of Paul Di'Anno... He had a better, more raw voice... Sang well too... X)

[MrOkiLL]

I prefer Bruce but the firsts songs was better with Paul

[antichrist7922]

@MrOkiLL same here. I dont want to hear Bruce singing Wrathchild. Its Diannos song^^

[edpkrlct]

Good old times.

Di'anno maiden forever.

Steve "shit" harris, you shouldn get off Paul of Maiden.

[Davux1995]

@edpkrlct

He had to 'cause Paul started taking drugs and wasn't reliable anymore. He said himself, that he couldn't withstand the pressure (longer tours) and would leave the band if Steve and Rod hadn't fired him before.

[edpkrlct]

@Davux1995 It doesn't matter. DI Anno was the heart of maiden. If the money doesn't mind, he could be in maiden even nowadays. His songs had an different style. The style that makes me like Iron Maiden.

[Davux1995]

@edpkrlct

But don't call Steve "shit". It's not his fault. It was Di'Annos fault.

[edpkrlct]

@Davux1995 Not only steve, but Rod Smallwood too.

[WateverBr]

Let's stop this fucking fight : Bruce X Paul

All both are gods.

[mustaba1234]

his scream at 2:15 springs to mind david coverdale's in stormbringer 

[Rikitocker]

Paul was the better man for Maiden ... period!

[bronzeonion]

Is this your own footage or is this from somewhere else?

[scumthrasher]

RUN TO THE HILLS BRUCE, we want METAL NOT STATEMENTS. What? FOAD

[mansonrkmc]

UFO+SEX PISOLS= IRON MAIDEN. Back then at least. Best era!!!

[TheEarnold]

dianno's vox are just so raw on this one, so gritty...

[14citroner]

This is for me the real iron maiden the first two albums kicks ass with paul on vocal.Can't understand why so many people say that numer of the beast album is their best.

[RandomGuy656]

wrathchild was released in 1981 not 1980



[Bananenbennie]

@RandomGuy656 wrathchild was not released in 1981 as you said, it was already released in 1979 on the Metal For Muthas album, together with Sanctuary

[sharkey221]

holy shit this is fucking epic, way to go Di'anno, does have a good fuckin voice ill give him that , but i prefer bruce all the WAY. . . UP THE IRONS FROM CANADA !

[TKDJohnnie]

paul is much energic.. it makes he better than dickinson

[hayastan5]

I have tears in my eyes ´caus im choked with emotion

the best time of metal, the best band of metal

[083770]

Interesting way to pronounce wrathchild. Sounds like Rothschild. And nobody tell me theyre British Ive probably been a fan longer than youve been alive, I effn know that.

But they sing in American dialect. Strange to switch it up for just one word.

[deepsussex]

Dennis Stratton on a song from Killers - wow -

[hochi81]

never heard nicko playing such a cool groove!

[LazerRazor7]

nicko? this is clive burr nicko came in 82 and then recorded piece of mind

[hochi81]

perhaps an ambiguous phrase. yes of course I know this is clive! now read it again. ;-)

[maidenwildM]

what an AWESOOOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEE VOICE.DIANNO RULES

[MountainDrunk]

Aivan loistava.. !! Fucking Awesome.. <<33

[nostalgia43]

Aewsome show...I couldn't miss it..This and 1983 Metallica, with Dave Mustaine..

the greatest shows in the metal era.

[fabio656]

VERY RARE TAPE!!!!

[moronchicken]

Dianno does sound awesome here.

[mischiefmakers]

bruce is a god, but it was better with paul

[alcalaed]

@mischiefmakers It was iron maiden's very esence... the rest is mostly a continuation...

[mrdjanin]

i wish i was there

[Arkstrikle]

they probaly blew kiss off the stage in 1980.

[nikespa]

paul it's the singer of iron.

[ELLEKYRGIAKOS]

PAUL DI ANNO IS MY KING!!

[happyads]

@ELLEKYRGIAKOS are you sure?? have you heard his new band? court jester more like

[itspietime4u]

were did u get these vids?

[tewhere1]

yeah Steve pumpin that bass awesome..man i loved this tape..22 acacia avenue,charlot the harlot etc.. woh!!

[rickydeltub]

Ultra rare! Is there Dannis Stratton playing Wrathchild? Please note the difference in the guitar Solos from the Adrian Smith version (Killers 1981) . Great Iron !!!

[dkhogs]

That's Dave Murray playing the solo not Stratton.

[naylam2000]

Saw these guys in 80 supporting Kiss in germany...definately my fav line up...and bloody good!!

[billtbodger]

this stuff still sounds fresh and exciting, and I never took to Bruce, Paul has charisma

[Selecta88]

Paul's voice here was at its best. Shame he fucked it up.

[mrdjanin]

paul was good for iron maiden and killers but could you imagine that paul sing run too the hills it whould be wasted song

[1987DeLarge]

Ok Paul,show Bruce how it's done;)!

[DanielinoDeRossi93]

bruce is good,paul is God

[sventrex93]

quote.

[nostalga44jo]

This video is the best of the metal years for me...less commercialized....800-2000

fans packed into a tiny concert hall..this was considered "underground" ..... Bruce commercialized Miaiden and the "scene"

of heavy metal....

The shows were much better in small halls than blowout stadiums..Tickets were only $8.oo-$22.00...What a steal...

[itspietime4u]

how much r they now? i know i should know but im only 13

[thevicious007]

I actually have it on dvd. It's the early days dvd. It's a very detailed documentary on Iron Maiden. How they started, different line ups and stuff. There is two discs to it. One

is the documentary with this gig, and the other with three performances. One live at the rainbow with paul, live at the hammersmith with bruce, and the other live in germany I think with bruce. It's worth it. You should check it out.

[deathwish959]

dude i want killers so bad,i dont know why but i like paul better as a frontman for this band,not as a singer but a frontman.

[mystiq86]

Damn! For the age of this video the sound is pretty good. Also it is a bit of a rarity, they have Dennis Stratton on guitar instead of Adrian Smith.

[mincekg]

Bruce Dickinson is Waaaay Better than Paul...

[ZhuxieLiuXian]

haha yeah, eeh... about the firing of dave in the 70's... it was because of the singer, Dennis Wilcock that Davey got fired!!! T___T then Davey got back to maiden and dennis left for Di'Anno :)

[1966266]

paul was so good in studio......what can i say.....thats some of my fav maiden ...friken bruce here we go again!!!

[vonbulowfla]

paul is the man !

[iostasia]

Paul Dianno is a GOD!!!!

[cherishyourlife123]

dave murray is one of the best guitarists alive. amazing how he;s been through maiden their whole career. and also how he was fired from maiden before paul came in!! (1977)

[doc98archer]

ya Dave Murray kick ass but Steve Harris has been there all the way.

Either way Maiden Rules

[victormlira]

Best maiden cd's!(Iron Maiden and Killers)

[spazammm]

I bet the guy video taping this had no idea what a historic thing he was taping at the time!

[BBX118]

I doubt also he'd be thinking that 29 year later thousands of people would be watching it all over the world!

[sexualpervert]

I agree with all of you fuckers and also disagree completely oh and killers was the best album and I git it on vinyl 12" LP and you don't. Fuck C.D.s

[GreatBigSlide]

you say it like it's hard to get LP's

[joesparx666]

i could get killers on vinyl tomorrow if i wanted to..so dont say and u dont like ur the only person who has it..

[gyggedy]

i can't stop think paul as druggy folk while bruce a pro. i like first maidens, but some years after they're such higher you can't ever compare their first albums with all what they did after.. expecially 666

[hentyhorsay]

god i like both of them,

[propolispills]

Bruce Dicklicker????

[gibsongold1970]

the guitar solo is fucking sick! dave just rips!

[Firecloud500]

Fuck you SHINOX! Atleast Bruce could sing enough to last decades of his career with Maiden DiAnno was great I respect him but you can't fuck with Bruce you dicklicker!

[RedcoatMic24]

... Sure. :\

[steven2405]

NOOB

[maidenwildM]

always so original band, even from the very begining

[gwyneth00]

In '81 I heard Wrathchild for the first time. I quickly bought the Killers album and Iron Maiden, and loved both of them. That music still sounds fantastic today. Though I really like what Bruce brought to the band, I have to admit that the original version, with Paul, was probably better. In comparison, Bruce sings as if he really wishes he were an opera singer. Yes, his voice is quite strong, but he lacks feeling. Paul was all about feeling the music.

[joesparx666]

i think the best version of wrathchild is on beast over hammersmith

[SabuPtolemy]

This is the REAL Iron Maiden, phuckers!

[RedcoatMic24]

The real Iron Maiden is whatever it wants to be.

You're not in the band, you can't tell it what it should be.

[SabuPtolemy]

I don't need to be in the band to know what's real and what isn't. Of course, Maiden are entitled to keep releasing shyte album after shyte album - no skin off my nose. There's always 'Killers' et al.

[dammit55]

HA this is so cool but who the hell filmed this

[Crossbowman]

Paul DiAnno is awesome

[lucas5150]

UP THE IRONS !! Paul are fucking great!

[lostsoul242]

Up Up Up ! Those early Iron Maiden rocked the world with that "afterpunk" style!!!

[ledzeprox666666]

i thought they were better when they had that darker sound

[barquisimetal24]

both of maiden sounds are great, the early with paul and the later with bruce, the new kinda-prog is cool to, but no at teh level of that 80's sound
