I met Dianno a couple of years after this release and told him how great I thought it was. His response? Looking self-conscious - 'Aw, that was crap' That was Paul until the end. Can you imagine any other Maiden singers being so modest? No - didn't think so.
At one point it was certain that the world would feel that Paul Di'anno is the one who made Iron Maiden known all over the planet. He may be gone but the truth managed to surface. PAUL DI'ANNO IS ORIGINAL IRON MAIDEN
he did move on, he did so many diferents kinds of music, hard rock- aor stuff, more heavy stuff, but was never commercial, cause allways wanted to hear him sing maiden, maybe if he didnt succeded into moving on, but he really tried
@@sudicalwig murder 1 was totally awesome, but then he move into menage to society and he lost his melodic voice, its amazing how that really fucked up his voice, when he started growling and stop singing, his material with stratton is amazing, pure #1level aor stuff
dont know about it, i mean, in my opinion they went to hell, when paul went into his pantera singin style, leaving his heavy-melodic tone that was way more versatile, and for sure that the growlin style of singin really fuck up his vocal chords and voice for not having a propper tecnique,
@@anarosaromero5319 I agree 100%…I was so disappointed when I bought the second Killers album and they were just trying to sound like Pantera. Murder One rules, and I’m glad I got to see them on that tour. Next month (November 9th) it will be 30 years since that night! 🤘
DIANNO rules. strange promotional video anyway. lots of old footage from TV and official videos when he was in Maiden. but also audeince scene from Stranger In A Strange Land official video
The story of the south America album is very spinal tapish. Paul in his book said a "money man" (coke dealer) setup a huge tour for this lineup and the recordings were from a tour in northern south America. Gallagher said the tour fell through and the album was recorded in a mobile van in NYC. The stories contridict themselves. Either way, the band ended up getting no royalties to this day! My guess is the footage was used with no permissions including pauls!
This is from around the same time that I saw him play in a small bar in York- Fibbers. An amazing vocalist but I guess he didn't have the right mindset to be in a huge band- which is unfortunate.
This was just before Paul changed his singing style for the more aggressive delivery inspired by Pantera/Phil Anselmo. He even shaved his head shortly after this to look like Phil Anselmo.
Lol. Thank God they didnt take him back. It would have been the end of Iron Maiden. Paul have decent voice and 2 first albums are great but he would destroyed Maiden.
With Paul, Iron Maiden was a Heavy Metal Group With Bruce is a festival that sells with the logo blouses pants pants mugs keychains puzzles tables towels swimwear socks shoes mobile phone cases laptop umbrellas beer opener hat hat overalls and whatever else you can imagine
@@TheJamie6666 I would. But I wouldn't sacrifice my dignity by behaving the way Paul has been.

But as a person I think Paul needs to grow the hell up already and stop embarrassing himself.
WHAT were you listening to!?! When the music started in the 1981 original Iron Maiden version, you can feel it!! And Paul's voice...THAT, made all the difference. Powerslave was the end of the Maiden sound, for those who do remember. Please...do not compare with the original Iron Maiden sound.;)
@@georgeschaffino8147 Yes I do love Paul's powerful voice, however it does not mean everything. Songs are made of many components, voice is just one part. Maiden has been unique and sucessful for many reasons becuase of Steve and he knows what's good or bad for the band. Blaze was just an unfortunate as there was no option when Bruce left.
@@Moonchild-CA Mister, voice isn't everything to me...I've played bass guitar since I was 19, I'm 54 now and who influenced me back then was Steve Harris. I focused more on other styles & players, which broadened my horizons on music, yet bass is my tool only because my fingers were too big for the smaller gauged strings, mainly 'cause the guy, who IS a kick ass guitar player( and a classmate at high school back then) convinced me( so that I didn't break his stringa) to switch to bass, and the rest is history. You have to recognize...what I said about Paul was a simple compliment. Don't make it about how I place total faith like some giddy schoolgirl about her superstar idol can do no wrong. Paul had the voice back then...now, no. ;)
@@kevinwalton7224 Priest was fine with Ripper, at least for Jugulator. Demolition kind of sucked, sadly. Nevertheless, I think Paul would have been a better fit for Maiden after Bruce left than Blaze bayley.
RIP Paul
Those first 2 Maiden albums are pure class. Never been beaten. Such a great raw sound to them.
I endorse this message 🤘
100%. Much better than all these pseudo-prog albums recorded with Dickinson.

A great collage from a great underrated singer. The first two Iron Maiden albums are my favourites, as neither have any filler tracks.

I agree. Paul fn kills it here.
Actually now when you said its like that
Best focking guitar solo ever

Rest in peace

yep dude. every bald guy wants to look like Phil Anselmo it's the only reason for everybody. Exactly Anselmo.
He was going bald around this time
He was losing hair around that time! That's why he's bald now! Just like Rob Halford!
I think he’s got a bit of an Axl Rose swagger going on in this clip
This was the time Bruce left. Iron Maiden is insane for not getting Dianno back 😠

Is that "Ray Detone" from Yonkers, NY on guitar?

When he had not lost his voice.. Now When he sing the iron Maiden songs his voice sound bad
Wish he had rejoined Maiden then.
It's a toss up man. Look how far Maiden have come with Bruce.

Excellent version, guitar solo was s**t though but hey we cant all be Dave Murray.
Solo was really genéric but at least i think is cool they did his version instead of just copy the original but yeah, wasnt a great solo
Back when Halford left Judas Priest, I hoped Paul Di, Anno would have replaced Rob
