@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

@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?

@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.

@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.

Long Live Paul !!

@HeavenTornAsunder666 he got into drugs then got sloppy

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.
