Shout out to our Patron Raven for this Totally awesome request!
In this video I react to 2 songs by former Iron Maiden frontman, Paul Di'Anno.
This is my very first time discovering him and I was not disappointed. This guy is good. I really enjoyed the over all feel I got from listening to Older Maiden. There was a certain element in this area that I did not get from Bruce Dickenson's Maiden. - Розваги
![Paul Di'Anno - Strange World (Live - Hard Rock Hell, Prestatyn, Dec 2010) [HD]](/img/n.gif)
Remember Tomorrow is one of my all-time favourites. Paul was one hell of a singer, it's a shame drugs and health problems took a big toll on him and he never realized his full potential.
"Remember tomorrow" was the track that got me hooked on them. Still blast it constantly (I'm 51 years old now, an old fart!) and it takes me right back to my youth!
Yeah,if that's what really happened?
You should listen paul dianno battlezone albums also for begin that after maiden his vocal skill increased a lot compared to maiden.
Also he took the other route while developping many facetts = while maiden began operatic clean vocals and dilued harmonies Paul was heavier and heavier
Also the fact of him being an Ahole that has serious anti social behavioural issues
The great, late Clive Burr on drums. That guy knew groove.
Dude. "Running Free" and "Killers". Paul is criminally underated. Bruce is still the king, but that dirty punk like sound of those first 2 Maiden albums with Paul's voice tieing it together, they need more credit.
Well put!
Paul is iron maiden. Bruce is a replacement.
@@Marshall_EL34 I'm willing to admit a superior replacement. Paul is great and underrated, but he does not top Bruce.
There were a lot great NWOBH bands at that time and I believe what made Maiden to stand out from the crowd was their raw in-your-face sound for which they needed Paul for the first two albums.
I think in 1980-82 Bruce's "Ian Gillan" style was not fresh enough to break through with Samson while Paul's raw and still melodic style was unique and brought attention to Maiden. And I think the same if we compare Clive and Niko :)
Strange world makes me cry for some reason. :'(
I think strange world is one of their greatest songs, guitars, bass, vocal, drums, its just the best.
The first two Iron Maiden albums will forever be my favorites.
You nailed it! Paul Di'anno is soul. He's real emotion. Bruce is great, too. But Bruce is more of a performer. Paul Di'anno is the real deal. I love your point on Bruce teaching history, and you didn't learn shit from Paul... but you felt it. Paul Di'anno is something you live by. Bruce is something you learn by.... you can't beat feel. Paul is the best.
I'm just finding out about these first two albums and going crazy over it, It was Bruce that prevented me from liking the band. Dude they were so revolutionary with these first 2 albums. Can hear Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Punk, Ozzy, everything that came before that would come after, this is beyond good. WTF I was missing out on a lot here
@@osmankovacevic6135 yes! Glad you discovered these gems. You're exactly right. The attitude on these albums is so raw and explosive. No knock to Bruce's Maiden vox, but it's a little too theatrical for me.
Well you learn things from Charlotte the Harlot 🤣
Joke aside, Remember Tomorow tells a great story.
Especially when you know the backstory of it
The sound of Paul is pretty essential to Iron Maiden.
I think Strange World is one of my all time favorite Iron Maiden songs! Check out "Prodigal Son", another "different" Maiden song from the "Killers" album with Di'Anno on vocals
Strange World and Prodigal Son are magical songs for me
Yup strange world is an amazing song especially when you smoke
Agreed! These type of songs gave Maiden so much more depth.
Paul and Dennis Stratton are two big reasons why the first two albums are so amazing and unique. Dennis was the "guitar boss" on those albums, he played on the first and did all pre-production on the second, which Adrian had to play like him. Without Dennis (and Paul), those albums could never be recreated...and they haven't come close. Maiden has created some awesome, amazing songs since the first two albums, but the first two albums are very special.
Clive was also a crucial element
Strange World is my favourite maiden song of all time.
It's just amazing.
So glad you did Strange World, a very underrated song!
Strange World is one of the best metal "ballads" ever.
Remember Tomorrow is okay, I just don't care for the heavy parts in between the mellow as much.
Love Bruce and love Paul. Just different. Same with the drummers...Clive Burr originally before Nicko McBrain. Both great styles just different and it all works.
Clive had more swing Nivko has more drive
Much as I love Bruce Dickinson! I still prefer the first two albums with Paul Di'Anno. His voice is rawer and the music is just more to my liking! But Bruce is great too of course!
This was a slow one of course but the album rocks out and this song doesn't show the raw side of his voice!
@@darrencooke4207 link me bro! Im down for this older maiden journey!
Me too.
First album was punk. ( except Remember Tomorrow is a ballad sort of)
Killers was metal at its best.
Try their single Sanctuary or Running Free. Most of the live videos from his era have pretty poor picture quality from the age of cheap video tape!
This one is pretty good quality! ua-cam.com/video/iM2Q_8CPLno/v-deo.html
"Killers," "Wrathchild," "Murders In The Rue Morgue," "Phantom Of The Opera." These are far more representative of the Maiden/Di'Anno sound.
You missed "Prowler"
I think strange world and remember tomorrow have also a great place in Di'Anno era . Remember was written by Di'Anno
Can't go wrong with any of these🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@matiasdimter619 Yess🤘🤘🤘.. Prowler fkn kills🔥🔥
Prowler, fucking rocks.
Paul Diannos singing and Clive Burrs drumming blows Bruce Dickinson and Nicko Mcbrain totally right out of the musical water...
Didn't know you hadn't heard Di'anno era songs, dude was a great vocalist, Killers is one of the best metal albums of all time! Definitely go back and check out the rest of Iron Maiden and Killers, still some of their best songs. Guitarist Dave Murray is the only other member who has been in the band with Harris since the first album, they had a lineup change on every album until Piece of Mind to Seventh Son.
i used to love the oww owww at the end of the song . miss it
the song was not over yet !!
As much as I love Bruce Dickinson, I was blown away when I bought 'Killers' at the record store, mostly because of the cover, took it home and listened to it. There's no doubt that Bruce Dickinson (formerly of a band called 'Sampson') is a more polished showman and arguably has a technically better voice, but DiAnno has raw aggression and atmosphere. To me, it was a disappointment we didn't get another album from him. I'll always prefer, slightly, the Dianno years of Maiden
Me too!
same heat too mate.@@SOHEILSORKHEH
Actually Paul Dianno was their first record deal singer.... They had 2 singers before him, and the first, Paul Day, is actually the one who wrote "Strange World"...!! (That's why it sounds so different from the rest of their material)
Sounds very Catch the rainbow
@@Nissardpertugiu lol catch the rainbow sounds very Hendrix.... Which Dave Murray from Maiden was a huge fan, so I'm sure there's some same inspiration with the 2 songs
@@ryananthony4840 and Led Zeppelin too!
Huh? Everything I have read says Steve Harris wrote "Strange World."
@@Nissardpertugiu Do you mean the song by Rainbow? If so, then yes, absolutely.
So nice to see a reaction from legendary Paul's era. He has great voice in many ways and has influenced so many vocalist out there, most notably Phil Anselmo of Pantera.
Even in attitude they re the same few years a part 😂.
I'm an old metalhead, I've seen Maiden close on 30 times over the years, although I respect the hell outta Bruce & all his work, the first 2 albums are my faves by a mile. That great raw post punk sound. Please check out Phantom of the Opera, Murders in the Rue Morgue, Weatchild, Charlotte The Harlot
Charlotte is written by Dave Murray, the guitarist who looks like a hamster that's just thought of a really dirty joke.
I got to agree with you on that
👍🏼
same album: Phantom of the Opera, Prowler, Remember Tomorrow, Charlotte The Harlot
The Remember Tomorrow version you watched was probably a tv spot or whatever which they performed over a playbacked studio album version. So, what you've listened is not live.
@Rigling Stephan Sorry my friend, but it's clearly the album version if you can hear it and compare. Maybe they did other live performances on tv or even this was originally a live performance but someone overdubbed it for the video, I don't know. However, what you hear watching this is ABSOLUTELY the album version. Also, there're instances Paul's mouth doesn't fit with the recorded singing.
Imagine 8 year old kid in 1985 first time listening Killers and Iron Maiden albums. No other album got me like those, i did not even understood english then, but i felt huge emotions in those two albums. STILL
Paul is emo
Bruce is pro singer and show man PERIOD
After this, (before the Killers band), Paul was in a band called Battlezone with one of my favourite drummers Sid Falck who joined Overkill after that. Great singer.
Love the song "I Don't Wanna Know".
Children of Madness is my favorite Battlezone song
Battlezone's first album has some of the greatest vocals ever recorded. Too bad Paul started to go all out heavy metal after it and lost his more classic rock feel that made him so special.
Fortunate we have also that Di'Anno era! Also would like to mention drummer Clive Burr, so young and still precise and skillful to give something to stand out among other great bands that time.
I love this song - Dianno was proper NWOBHM singer - I was 15 when this was released, saw them live and I was hooked! Cheers mate!
Being a old Bastard I have the priviledge of owning both the Iron Maiden and Killers albums before hearing Bruce with Maiden. So i had no problems with his vocals as many who heard Bruce 1st and then went back and re-visited the Paul records. I bought everything I could get my hands on from maiden back then including all of the 12 inch singles they released with Paul. The great B side songs and live tracks that didn't make it to Maiden Japan were awesome . All of the great album art was part of the maiden experience.
the album art was a huge part of the experience. Derek Riggs created some amazing covers for Maiden's albums and me and my mates used to see who could find the cat first when listening to the album for the first time
My first experience with Maiden was the number of the beast, but I prefer D'anno over Bruce. Bruce can hit the high notes, but Paul imo had much more range as a singer.
@@Krankster666 yeah, Di'Anno's voice could go from soft vocals to raucus in a beat and he could still hit pretty high notes and hold them (although not as long as Bruce)
I love your reaction, it’s so cool to hear your words and appreciation for the lyrics/emotional feel. Keep up the great work!! Up The Irons 🖤
Being 15 years old, and hearing this for the first time on a boom box, hanging out in an abandoned field with some friends, I’ve never forgotten that day...a piece of my youth.
This is the first time I've ever seen a black man lisen to maiden and let me tell you its a beautiful thing he really feels its .makes me happy all over again like i just herd it 4 the first time .ps dnt bite your lips off brother .much love 💜💙
T. you have to go back to the beginning, Maiden had such a raw feel a little punky vibe to them.
Strange world one of many IM songs on my repeatplay list.... hours on end when i am doing academic journal text editing work.... fan since 1981 off of this album artwork on cassette and immediately hooked on their music ever since... saw them 2016 in cape town! ...felt like my life was then complete, but one can never get too much IM
Thank you for having an open mind. Paul DiAnno, what a voice indeed. Soul...
Hell of a combo to introduce you to Maiden.
These songs are pretty obscure but I personally love them.
Strange World is a song I think about whenever someone dismisses Maiden as just noise. Its gorgeous!
My mother told me that at the time iron maiden made their 2nd album killers, they were still doing gigs at the Ruskin arms pub at East Ham in East London and she knew Steve Harris. And he gave her the killers album to tell him what she thought. Still got the record to this day
When it comes to Maiden I'm old school, really love their first two albums (plus EP's and singles). Love the punky and aggressive style. You picked the two softest songs :) but I love them anyway!
These songs are among my favorites from that era BUT if you want to check out THE SONG (at least in my opinion) that shows a legendary band coming to life from their early era with Paul Dianno, you should definitely try *Phantom Of The Opera.* That's the great ancestor of their long epics. Still different from their later Bruce era songs but you can feel it's Iron Maiden.
It’s sad he’s so overlooked (not by us early days fans). I love Bruce Dickinson, but I grew up listening to the bands albums in order and loved Paul on these first two absolute classic maiden albums. You are correct Paul and Dave had such a different style but both so good in this band. I honestly think I like every song front to back on the first two albums.
many dickinson albums have some stuff that's close to just being filller or just don't what the "wow" factor. they're decent songs. but the Di'Anno stuff is awesome all the way through. too bad there's too little of it.
I listened to Bruce's albums first like Powerslave and Number of the Beast before listening to Di'Anno's songs. Once I listened to tracks like Sanctuary and Phantom of the Opera, I fell in love with early era Maiden with their raw energy and unique punk edge. Their first two albums are among the finest in heavy metal history.
Di'Anno's solo stuff is great too, I'd recommend his album Murder One, tracks like The Beast Arises and Dream Keeper show what he was really capable of in his post Maiden years. His albums with Battlezone and Praying Mantis are worth a listen too!
Paul is the best , great stage presence when these guys are together, I'm soo glad u liked him too !
I am so happy you reacted to these songs back to back as they are my they are my 2 favorite songs, and i have waited so long to hear someone to react to either of them,, what a great surprise to have you do them both. I was so afraid they would get lost and forgotten to the next generation. it won my scribe especially if you are going to do songs like this that are not in the mainstream algorithms,, Thank You so much and GODBless!!!!!
This song reminds me of why I started playing the guitar over 30 years ago. Thanx Maiden.
iron maiden's first two albums are amazing, the album Killers is an all time fav for me. if you want to see them live from this period, check out "live at the rainbow" from 1980. it has the song Killers on it before the album was released, it has different lyrics so still a work in progress, hehe. loved the reaction, tnx...
Your next video MUST be ‘Phantom of the Opera ‘ live 1980.
Big fan live your reactions!
ua-cam.com/video/t5jaRipA5_M/v-deo.html
New Man in Christ Ministries I remember they played that song twice that night
Remember Tomorrow and strange World are my favourites off this album.. I like your reaction when the vocals come in on Strange World.. it really does evoke emotion..
First of all, the new camera and mic are incredible! Love it!
Now, these songs feature Steve Harris and Dave Murray, the only two that have been there from the first. Dennis Straton was on guitar and Clive Burr on drums. This is the seminal Maiden. If you listen to songs like "Running Free" or "Murders in the Rue Morgue," you'll hear the punkiness in Paul's voice. While always rather progressive, the narrative seems to be that Harris wanted to continue in a straightforward metal vein. However, when Di'Anno was fired for drug use, Bruce Dickenson came on board, and his creative bent led them in a more theatrical direction. (Steve tried to strip back down to basics with "No Prayer for the Dying" after "Seventh Son," but it met with very mixed results. Among my own contemporaries, "No Prayer" was a bomb.)
I strongly suggest a few tracks from "Killers." In fact, "Killer" is a good song for that. You can feel how the addition of Adrian Smith evolved the band, and you can start to bridge the gap into "Number of the Beast."
You can also see some latter-day Paul Di'Anno stuff in a couple of his bands, "Battlezone" and "Praying Mantis." He has also released solo albums. (Can't tell you if they're good or bad; I was never interested.)
Thank you for this and thank you for that Overkill request! It caught me off guard.
I wasn’t a huge fan of Prayer initially but I will say it aged well, it’s an underrated album. The energy on it is phenomenal as is the playing. It turned out to be one of my favorites just due to its stripped down approach...
Don't get me wrong I love Bruce but welcome to the Paul era! First 2 albums are still my favorite from Maiden and Strange World is an all time special song for me. Those dueling guitars, powerful bass, Paul's soul bleeding out those lyrics. Perfection
I thanked you prematurely, I sang along, you brought me back, man you are topps!
At the time of this, it was Paul, Steve Harris, Dave Murray (Longer haired guitarist), Adrian Smith (Other guitarist), and Clive Burr on drums. Clive would last until 1982's Number of the Beast, then be replaced; Tragically, he later died of from complications due to MS.
You nailed it.. the emotion is all over these early work. My favorite album.
Thanks for this post,, no one imo can do Di Anno maiden songs like him,,glad i was there first time around and still have my vinyls.Bless you sir for this post.. be well 🙏👍
at that time, they were flawless, vocals and instrumentals were spot on.
Strange World has an abnormaly deep meaning ... My top Maiden song
Go back to the beginning! Paul kicks ass! U just heard the 2 slower paced songs but they are great too
How did I miss this?
It's about time someone did Di'Anno era Maiden. So many great tracks to get through but 'Phantom of the Opera' is a must. Studio version first and then the 'Live at the Rainbow' version.
Paul has a great voice and you should check out his performance of 'Silent Night' live from about 15 years ago. It's on UA-cam somewhere.
Edit: Also to see this version of Maiden in it's rawest glory check out Iron Maiden at Ruskin Arms 1980
From the first album,"Charlotte the harlot" "running free"& "prowler" all the tracks on this album rock!! From KILLERS, "twilight zone" "killers" "Drifter"Another life". There's not a bad tune on either of the first two albums,just react to all of them,Lol.I love that people still love this music, and thanks a million for taking time and giving it some air.im just a bedroom guitarist,but clive burr(rip) in my opinion cannot be topped,there may be faster ,and more technical players,but no one can do what he did,the way he did it! Just my opinion.btw ,love the reactions,you rock🤘🤘
Always enjoy your reactions brother Paul Di Anno is favorite all time for me is masterpiece greetings from greece!!
Remember Tomorrow was a rare example of Maiden actually miming to the studio version. This was just the outro to the broadcast, hence the messing about with small edits to make it fit and the early fade out. The full version's on the debut album. I would strongly recommend Phantom of the Opera as evidence that from the outset Steve Harris knew exactly what he wanted Maiden to sound like. It encapsulates everything that made early Maiden stand out from every other up and coming metal act at that time.
I think lunar eclipse got it right when he stated that Paul DiAnno was the kind of british punk band sound Maiden was shooting for in 1975-80, but by the early 80's they needed a singer that could catapult them to a worldwide audience. So when they opened up for a band called Sampson, they heard Bruce singing for them, & his operatic range. Well the rest is history.
Finally someone who reacts to these awesome Iron Maiden's songs !!!!
My favourite Maiden album followed by Killers, that era with Paul was something special and unique and Paul at his best was easily as good as anyone else ;)
Because of Bruce, Maiden were able to grow, creating different styles, lyrics, technics...different sounds and tempo...and still sounds typical Maiden like...all those years...you hear it and say..yeah, thats Maiden....because of the genious lyrics and sound of Mr.Steve Harris....and the colour of Bruce's amazing voice..
This was a privilege to watch brother. You can't imagine how much this mirrors my experience of Iron Maiden. The Paul DiAnno version of this band was largely a back catalogue experience for me. With the exception of a few tunes someone else's mix tape, it was all new to me pre-Number of the Beast. Don't get me wrong, I love Judas Priest but most bands were not given the time to evolve like they did. Maiden? Right out of the bloody box \m/
I LISTENED TO THIS SONG AT 14 YEARS OLD, AND I CONFESS THAT IT IS AN EMBLEMATIC SONG, OUTSIDE THE IRON MAIDEN STANDARD THAT I HAD ALREADY LISTENED TO PREVIOUSLY.
Prowler,Purgatory,Phantom Of The Opera,Charlotte The Harlot,Ides Of March,Wrathchild,Killers,Another Life,Murders In The Rue Morgue,Transylvania,Genghis Khan,plenty of great songs from the first two Maiden albums with Dianno on vocals
I remember back when I was a kid I would listen to iron maiden songs with Bruce but after discovering the first two albums Paul became my favorite and I listen to those albums Killers and Iron maiden the most.
Happy weekend. Thanks for sharing.
Memory lane. React to Iron Maiden Killers live. This is old school
1st one, i think '81...what a mindblower when this came out...i always loved paul's rawness...although i live bruce too...but the first 2 records were the best
I love Bruce but the first two Maiden albums are my favorite. So much feeling in the music. Miss you Clive 😢
Di'anno was amazing on those first two records, which are both superb. Two great tunes here, two more I would check from them that are more up tempo are 'Phantom of the Opera' and 'Murders in the Rue Morgue'
Great reaction, good songs, but i recomends you to listen the best Diano era album, Killers, my suggestion is the song Wratchild. The album Killers is one of the best in their catalogue.
You picked the two perfect songs for Dianno Maiden. Phantom, Charlotte, Sanctuary, would be good for Paul.
You have to check the full version of Remember Tomorrow. I suggest Drifter by Maiden from the Killers album with Paul Di'Anno too.
Phantom of the Opera is a must listen. Still one of the greatest Maiden tracks. Also, check out Killers and Murders in the Rue Morgue. There are many more by Dianno that are awesome.
They are so melodic!
all three of their vocalists our outstanding
YES!! Thank you Strange World is my favorite song.
That soul and emotion you hear is the last vestige of the 70’s!! And do the live remember tomorrow from the rainbow 81 show! Way way better in every way
FYI Metellica does a pretty cool cover of "Remember Tomorrow"
This song has an almost 70s Prog vibe to it. Paul DiAnno had some substance issues, which contributed to his leaving, and you can def see/hear it in his lyrics. I'm glad that he didn't end up like so many other folks with similar problems.
The drummer on the first 3 albums is Clive Burr, Number of the Beast was his last album before he had to quit because of MS. Then Nikko came in, Paul was on the First two albums before they stole Bruce Dickenson away from Samson. (Children of the Damned was his audition song) You know Steve already and the guitars are Dave Murray and Adrian Smith. Adrian left just before Bruce left and Adrian's replacement was Janik Gers. Bruce was replaced with Blaze Bailey. The 3'rd best singer of the 3. Then when they reunited we now have 3 quitarist. Killers was the best Iron maiden album for baselines. The first song I learned on bass was Wrathchild. The first song I taught myself to play was Murders in the Rue Morgue.
Dave Murray, my favourite guitarist of all time. F**King awesome
Finally someone who gave Paul a Chance. Still my favourite even though I love Mr. Dickinson. Got the Chance to meet Paul once Backstage on a concert in Germany, what a nice dude, but also he wasted himself away unfortunately. But the first 2 Maiden Albums, omg, so good!
Paul Dianno was Awesome. the perfect singer for the first two albums, but I'd always go Bruce over Paul.
When bruce left Maiden he did two phenomenal Solo albums, Accident of birth and the majestic, and I mean epic "The Chemical wedding" Bruce's Solo albums blew Maidens Blaze era albums out of the water. Was so glad bruce rejoined MAIDEN. On a side note, Paul Dianno has had a hard knock life, great singers definitely a character.
There are a few great documentaries on UA-cam about Iron Maiden from there early days to now. Documents the changes of band members and is funking awesome to watch.
In case it hasn’t been said in the comments yet... Dave Murray is the guitarist on the left. Adrian Smith is the guitarist on the right. Murray has been on all albums. Smith came in right after the debut was released and left in 1990 and was replaced by Janick Gers. Smith rejoined with Dickinson in 1999 and since then they’ve had 3 guitarists. The drummer on this video was Clive Burr. He was on the first 3 albums and left after The Number of the Beast. He was replaced by Nicko McBrain who has been the drummer ever since. I hope that helps.
Hey T ! ! Check out these 2 early Iron Maiden songs with Paul D'anno on vocals.
Running Free from 1980 & Wrathchild from 1981
Strange World its the first slow song i ever loved when i was a kid and i still dont be tired to listen it and the dianno era are my favorite period of the band
Great reaction.... reminded me EXACTLY how I reacted 40yrs ago. You really can’t go wrong with Maiden, they’re their own genre and nobody can touch them... nobody... up the Irons
Old stuff from Maiden: Phantom of the Opera from their first self titiled album. Or Iron Maiden or Running Free are worthwhile. Killers and Murders in the Rue Morgue from their second album. All great numbers.
I saw this line up when they supported Judas Priest on the British steel tour then at the marquee club and the rainbow theatre
Me too to Caen in France...
Me too in El Paso, Texas :-)
This post is from memory. If I have a facts wrong please respectfully correct.
Love the reaction.
Recommendation should have started with Prowler then either Remember Tomorrow or Strange World. But you definitely heard two great songs that are a different sound for Maiden. Prowler was their first song on their debut LP. You can even look up The Soundhouse Tapes which was their demo. Steve Harris handed a copy to Neal Kay of the Sound House and Band Wagon. Steve said something like, "Here mate. Give it a listen. If you like what you hear then give us a call. If not then no harm done." Neal put it in a pile thinking, "Yeah right." He did listen to it and immediately called Steve. When he played it the kids went bucking fonkers for it.
1. Iron Maiden
2. Invasion
3. Prowler
Paul Di'Anno had a great voice, but he had substance abuse and personal problems. This led to the decision to replace him. Steve Harris and Rod Smallwood (Manager and the Sheriff of Huddersfield) met with Bruce Dickinson (at the time with Samson) and asked if he would be new lead singer. Bruce agreed, but they kept Paul on for a bit and then made the change. Bruce was under contract to Samson but allowed to leave and join Maiden. He wrote some songs but not allowed to get credit.
I go back to 1982 and first song I heard was Prowler. I bought Iron Maiden and Killers. Number of the Beast was out, so I bought it too. Listened to the first two and then I got a slap in the face. No Di'Anno. Instead there was this interloper who had replaced Paul. I'm like, "Who the bloody 'ell is this bloke? Where the heck is Paul. I like Paul. Oh, well. Let's give it a listen. I could understand the change as Bruce gave more mainstream appeal to the vocals. With Paul there has always been a bit of the roughness and a certain charm to the first two albums. No matter, you cannot go wrong with any Iron Maiden songs.
Speaking of Sheriff of Huddersfield, here is a link to this song about Rod Smallwood written by the band after Rod moved to California. This was never on an albums. It was a b-side to the single Wasted Years. ua-cam.com/video/TO5sCTn3bR4/v-deo.html
Rod was a huge influence and a major part of the band's success. Combination of Rod and Steve gave Maiden the guiding hand and unstoppable force that became one of the best bands ever. Well, they have been my favorite band since hearing Prowler for the first time.
Charlotte the Harlot was an example of a more rocking Maiden track from Iron Maiden's debut album. If you are familiar with the Maiden song 22 Acacia Avenue, that was kinda the spiritual successor to it with Bruce. Another 2 songs I recommend featuring Paul on Maiden's second album were 2 back to back songs are Killers and Prodigal Son.
"Charlotte The Harlot" and Follow up with "22 Acacia Avenue" hehe!
iron maiden and killers are great albums, my favorite songs are the phantom of the opera, wrathchild, killers, iron maiden and murders in the rue morge, you should check those songs
The first album is underrated even by Steve Harris.
In an interview he said he hates it's sound / mix of it but in contrast with their last album on the first album all the instruments are audible clearly.
Paul also has some great songs with his next band "Battlezone". Generally he made heavier music than Maiden but had some more lyrical slow songs too.
Because they are the GOAT BRO🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸🎤🎼🥁🔥
