Once again, Paul Di'Anno going crazy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQARA_e6OzE Actually sad, singing terrible and the band not good... playing in a pub infront of something like 70 people 30 years ago and still bitter ... ( The "Bruce Dickinson" shouter probably afraid he would actually jump down and destroy him...) The thing goes on after each song until the end, so his favorite band are the Ramones, and it gets even funnier ("Please touch me" the fan shouts, Paul "I can't walk" over there... ;-) :-)http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919734#msg-919734Wed, 22 May 2013 15:15:11 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919927#msg-919927 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919927#msg-919927 Snake65 NoticeboardMon, 19 Nov 2012 03:28:19 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919908#msg-919908 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919908#msg-919908He was never Punk..by that I mean what we Brits call 70's Punk. Sure, no doubt he could have gone that way..but real Brit punk he/MAIDEN circa 79-81 were not.

PD needs to get his life in order..he sadly appears to going down the wrong route. Lose weight, shape up..he's still got some potential for a niche market.

KILLERS is a better record that anything after SSOASS to present. The last 3 or 4 have been bloated crap. Not a classic MAIDEN single in sight.]]> Scott NoticeboardSun, 18 Nov 2012 22:14:09 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919902#msg-919902 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919902#msg-919902 Nunzio Soprano NoticeboardSun, 18 Nov 2012 17:30:49 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919887#msg-919887 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919887#msg-919887
Back way back when I first heard Maiden I loved them because they did sound aggressive and almost 'punky'.

I had Killers on in the car the other day and my opinion is totaly different now. I now appreciate how 'clever' the band were technically (especially for a relatively young band) and the songs were wonderfully crafted. I never really rated Paul as a singer but listening to those early albums again I can see why he still feels aggrieved and overlooked. His contributin to the Maiden 'sound' which is still evident was massive and he should get some credit for that.

He does himself no favours though with his 'silly' antics.

But there was never any punk in Iron Maiden's music. Vocally there was an edge, sure, but were Leppard 'almost punk' because of Wasted and Rocks Off'?

Hardly.]]> rocknut NoticeboardSat, 17 Nov 2012 15:47:33 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919843#msg-919843 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919843#msg-919843 Peter M.

I don't think the guy was trying to say he liked Bruce better, something certainly got lost in the translation.

Somebody threw a bottle at Seb Bach and he broke a girls face open. I watched Gary Barden direct bouncers to a guy in an MSG crowd that was spitting at him, then happily watched as he was dragged out and [presumably] given a fucking good hiding.

For every action, a reaction.

I liked the " ....too fucking easy - and I'm not gay " line. As Paul said, he never said he was a nice guy.]]> rocknut NoticeboardSat, 17 Nov 2012 03:24:55 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919808#msg-919808 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919808#msg-919808

Saw DiAnno play a couple of years ago too. Before he got put away for benefit fraud. His backing band were pretty good - much better then the mob on the YT link in this thread. His singing wasn't much better than here but I still quite enjoyed it, oddly enough.]]> Steve_Roamer NoticeboardFri, 16 Nov 2012 19:34:57 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919734#msg-919734 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,919734,919734#msg-919734
