IRON MAIDEN - Wrathchild 1980

Maiden with Paul Di'anno.

[@darthnemesis21]

It's a trip seeing Dennise Stratton playing this song 👍🏼

[@thelegacyproject3188]

It's spelt Dennis Stratton - Denise is a girls name lol - we have Dennis Willcok singing this in 1977 for Iron Maiden in a rehearsal on our channel.

[@Shardan88]

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

[@enricobernardini9343]

Shardan88 in this video there is stratton on the lett, not smith

[@notramesses4790]

​@enrico bernardini, that's right, he didn't join the band until the following year 1981.

[@RustyDarlington]

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)

[@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!

[@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...

[@naylam2000]

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

[@62wordman]

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

[@manontheedge4179]

They were so good even in their really early days. The greatest band of all time.

[@telephonicusmaximinius4638]

that's the real shit right there. good on'ya for putting this up.

[@stavrosmaiden]

I am amazed by the fact that now they play it much much faster

[@1987DeLarge]

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

[@MrHankulley]

Long Live Paul !!

[@iostasia]

Paul Dianno is a GOD!!!!

[@emankcin1701]

April 14th 1980 the same day their debut album was released. Dennis Stratton rocking his heart out.

[@tdkdgh]

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

[@mark_beastpriest5539]

Early Iron Maiden. Raw. Powerful. The best! 🤘

[@deepsussex]

Dennis Stratton on a song from Killers - wow -

[@lostsoul242]

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

[@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.

[@Daddy53751]

I wouldn’t want to have the first two albums not exist.
In my book things worked out great for us, as we get ALL the great music!🤘🏻

[@indowntime1966]

My first official Metal concert '83 Phoenix, AZ. They headlined for Saxon and Fastway ,

[@TheEarnold]

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

[@JetJaguar.]

Heavy and agressive the best Iron Maiden

[@joewalker511]

Did anybody catch that Paul quoted David Coverdale's crooning in Stormbringer after the last solo? Note for note.....watch for these things...lol!!

[@victormlira]

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

[@mansonrkmc]

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

[@dzenacs2011]

Add hendtix . Father of al these metal solos

[@emmettdocbrown5008]

Thx Paul..... Rip Clive

[@hailslayer420]

Rip clive

[@glennhertel1165]

Rich at the very least you got to answer to Paul.

[@maidenwildM]

what an AWESOOOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEE VOICE.DIANNO RULES

[@marguskiis7711]

Iron Maiden at its best. Later they were just a commercial monster.

[@maidenwildM]

always so original band, even from the very begining

[@gimozardo]

Thanks to the guy who lost his night and his time/money to record this

[@hentyhorsay]

god i like both of them,

[@Rikitocker]

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

[@nostalga44jo]

Yeah, we do. You're the huge Iommi fan. Love Sabbath dude!

[@glennhertel1165]

Because I'm A Rothchild

[@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

[@nostalga44jo]

These were the fuckin days man. Fuck all the stadiums. Glad I didn't miss this. Small venues

[@DmitrySV]

paul > bruce.

[@saulocpp]

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

[@guillearacenag]

La mecánica del brazo derecho de Clive Burr en el Hi-Hat es Única e Irrepetible, y éste fill en (1:51) es simplemente una maravilla, ¿y en 1980?. ¡¡ LEYENDA !!.
Saludos desde Chile🇨🇱

[@loknloll]

where do you live? i was in Canada, so not being exposed to the first Maiden albums appears to be a regional/geographical issue. once me and my friends had heard Number of the Beast, like i said, we went out and bought anything and everything that had the Maiden logo, which lead us to the amazing Di'anno albums. Number of the Beast is one of the best things i've ever heard, still, so i'm happy i heard it first, and went to di'anno in 'reverse', so Bruce didn't 'ruin' it for me. i love it all.

[@vladvampirelord8910]

🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

[@Prof.MuriloPereiraDias]

classico
classico

[@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.

[@sventrex93]

quote.

[@kaybaron5179]

Yea thats the good stuff

[@alcalaed]

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

[@billtbodger]

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

[@nikespa]

paul it's the singer of iron.

[@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

[@adrianbloos5970]

1 album iron maiden ,Paul d a....ithink .

[@kgxcc004toto9751]

最高だぜ！
アイアンメイデン！！

[@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

[@edpkrlct]

@Davux1995 Not only steve, but Rod Smallwood too.

[@glennhertel1165]

1980

[@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.

[@RiggySmalls]

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

[@HlewagastizHoltijaz]

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 :)

[@Shardan88]

@Erpyrikk i was not referring to this video

[@boiazzeberto]

0:22 OH MY GOD!!!

[@antichrist7922]

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

[@nolangentry5087]

Round

[@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

[@matteomirri114]

i like more the rusty and raw sound of paul voice , for me , bruce voice is just too high and clean

[@thelegacyproject3188]

Dennis Willcock was the second singer of Maiden. A 1977 rehearsal tape has him singing Wrathchild and he has a raw voice - but it is a rehearsal

[@nostalga44jo]

true. That was a better band, and better times. Heavy Metal grew too big, too fast, and Bruce was a major contributor.

[@itspietime4u]

were did u get these vids?

[@nostalga44jo]

to what extent? Cyberspace aquaintances.

[@itspietime4u]

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

[@joaoluisbufaical994]

DENNIS STRATTON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Arkstrikle]

they probaly blew kiss off the stage in 1980.

[@davidgoode7416]

Killer!

[@RandomGuy656]

wrathchild was released in 1981 not 1980

[@nostalga44jo]

you're that guy who once modelled. Right?

[@dammit55]

HA this is so cool but who the hell filmed this

[@videosdeecologia7468]

I cannot understand a word when Paul is talking.

[@NormanZavlandid]

I can translate as I'm from London & I'm also one of the "boys from Wimbledon" that Paul mentions in the intro. He says "It's really nice to be back here again - Christ, it's amazing - really good - this next song, from the same album - I'd like to do this for the boys from Wimbledon wherever they are - oh yes, I should have known - this song - this song called Wrathchild". Paul was always a friendly guy. We'd met him a few times before this gig. I bought him a pint at the bar which is why he gave us the shout-out.

[@loknloll]

yeah, bud. do we know each other?

[@pussinbouts]

@HeavenTornAsunder666 he got into drugs then got sloppy

[@nostalga44jo]

Not true man. I was 17 in 82', so our crowd worshipped the first two Iron Maiden albums, the way Bruce Dickinson described in interviews when aked about his reaction to watching his soon to be band, then, Paul, the singer. A few of my friends wore the "Killers" album (Eddie and his axe) crested on their cut off jean jackets, definately a cool time. Actually, Bruce ruined it for us. When he joined the band looked hoaky, and an overkill..Paul gave the boys of Iron Maiden a less glamorous identity

[@timosha21]

how about Bruce and Paul singing together?

[@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..

[@edpkrlct]

Good old times.
Di'anno maiden forever.
Steve "shit" harris, you shouldn get off Paul of Maiden.

[@MrOkiLL]

I prefer Bruce but the firsts songs was better with Paul

[@mischiefmakers]

bruce is a god, but it was better with paul

[@shake544]

275 likes - dislikes: nil

[@XRTVicious]

Paul is great, but I JUST CAN'T see him fitting in with Number of The Beast, Piece of Mind, ESPECIALLY POWERSLAVE. Those classics just wouldn't sound right. Besides, Paul was addicted to COCAINE. Bruce is a clean, vibrant, and almost rangeless abilities at vocals. And also, NOTB might not have even happened. Basically, Bruce was the right choice. But regardless the singer, IRON MAIDEN STILL ROCKS! EVERY ALBUM! UP THE IRONS!

[@hasjtrackers]

XRTVicious _ Without Bruce it very well could be Powerslave would've been a different album all together.
Who knows,it could've been better could've been worse.Singing qualities of both are equally great/terrible(or better said : average at best compared to Caruso or a young Pavarotti).
And who cars about drugs habbits,it is not like any of them are straight edge and cocaine destroys just as much as alcohol/marlboro.

[@1977moonchild1]

Slit Bodmod I know it's been four years but i have to point out the fucking obvious here.. The Number of the Beast ,Piece of Mind, Powerslave,Somewhere in Time and Seventh Son were all wrote with Dickinson in mind. Simply put, if Di anno had stayed, other albums would have been wrote to suit the bands style with Di anno. Harris could write a different style of song for Dickinsons operatic voice. I hope you understand this !!

[@marguskiis7711]

With Paul they became eally great and from literally zero (before Paul they were nothing). Paul was just so good performer, so charismatic, everybody was fascinated. But I understand Harris, drinking and addicted lead singer is just useless. You have to replace him. Uriah Heep sacked David Byron, Marillion sacked Fish. Its impossible to avoid if you are touring band.

[@mincekg]

Bruce Dickinson is Waaaay Better than Paul...
