This was the first time they played this song and it wa supposed to be an instrumental. But Dianno decided it was not finished yet. He wrote the lyrics and vocal melodies just half an hour before the show started, what a genius!
You know, everyone always talks about EVH, Rhoads, Hendrix, Page, etc., but Dave and Adrian are sooo underrated. Their dual solos are as good as anything out there. And, there are so many solos from so many songs.
Man, how can anybody not say this is SOLID GOLD! Di'Anno and Clive are like the oil and radiator fluid in a 1970 muscle car! Without them, car doesn't run!
@@pietdijkman1980 - Yes, but not the same sound!!! I like the rawness of the Di'Anno years!!!! It is like a 1970 Firebird revving its engine! Up The Irons!🤘
Dianno vocal chords couldn't handle it even in the short time he sung for them. Nothing against him he had raw energy he just didn't have strong enough vocal cords.
@@Duck_Dodgers - No Way!!! Di'Anno is king of vocals and Dickinson could never touch him what so ever!!! I like Bruce don't get me wrong and will always love Maiden, but this lineup is unmatched no question with Clive on drums!! Well oiled machine running full steam!!
Such rawness and attitude! Paul was truly one of a kind which helped produce two of the greatest metal albums of all time. Rest In Power, Paul Di Anno.
Muchos pensamos lo mismo, que los 2 primeros discos son los mejores, los demás también nos gustan, pero los 2 primeros son los mejores y ahora vi... creo van a volver a cantar Paul dianno y el otro cantante que reemplazó a Bruce y una gira despedida... yo cómo muchos queremos ver a Paul cantando otra vez con la banda
The Punk Metal King has passed, but he'll never be forgotten. You were the best of the best, Paul, your vocals on the first 2 Maiden albums will never be equaled.
Absolutely. Paul was irreplaceable, so sad Harris didn’t realize that, once Paul was gone (booted out, so to speak) Iron Maiden had completely lost its cutting edge punk metal groove and become sorta “Big Mack” for the tin eared.
@@jorgegarcia4045 no es la mejor maiden en mi opinión pero si es una etapa insuperable de igual manera la de Dickinson, cada etapa es buena siendo esto en una sola banda
Paul's voice is brilliant for this early stuff. He clashed with Steve Harris, that was the problem. The Iron Maiden town wasn't big enough for the both of them. However, never did Maiden make such spine-tingling, dangerous and spell-binding music as they did when Paul and Steve were together. As for Dave Murray; he's just been genius from the day he joined until today. If he was one of the 60's guitarists like Clapton or Townsend - he'd be considered a genius by all, not just people with taste.
I'd give anything to jump in the Time Machine and travel back to be an audience member to witness the Glory of Maiden. Oh my, Dave and Adrian, oh my god!
I like Bruce, but you really FELT Paul. His vocals are agonizing, but the way he plows through it.. Heavy as fuck. Dare I say like a metal 'Soul' singer. Like the Otis Redding of metal or something. Amazing and underrated
as i recall from the maiden dvd, which this is off of, dianno stated that he actually wrote the songs for THIS version in the dressing room. The song already was written and stuff, but he changes a few parts here and there, and that is why these lyrics are different than the album and other concerts. Hopefully that ends the lyric dispute
Maybe my favorite rock singer....we all have to go at some point. Maiden Japan was the soundtrack to my last few years in college and still makes my body convulse and rage naturally. WHat he had was POWER and AGGRESSION with a unique punk sort of thing going on. That last component is what gave the music the angst.......never replaceable and I would have loved to see more Maiden albums with him.
RIP Paul Di’anno those vocals are seriously so good. You can tell everything that followed iron maiden in the metal scene was heavily influenced by their style of playing and particularly the style of metal vocals. Thank you for your part in developing of one the best and longest serving musical styles in the world 🤘
If ever there was a song connected to a singer, it's Paul Di'anno and this song, his voice fucking MADE this song, and I listen to it often still! Thank you Paul for giving me this awesome musical experience, I will treasure this amazing performance until the day I die.
Iron Maiden,ja despontava no início dos anos oitenta para se tornar uma das maiores bandas de Heavy de todos os tempos ! Vivi essa época e jamais esquecerei !!! Para sempre Paul Di'Anno nunca te esqueceremos !!!
Since 1990 I've listened Iron Maiden and Metallica, I was that year 6 years old, now 38 years old. I began to listen to Black Sabbath in 1998. Queen came into patterns next year 1991.
@Bananenbennie No, in an interview they explain that Paul wrote this different lyrics 5 minutes before starting the show. But the song was already complete (with the original lyrics), this live has been recorded after the Album (and Paul also says "the title track from the second album")
I was there. They ended up playing certain songs several times to get them just right for live video being recorded. I remember Prowler and Running Free being played 4 or 5 times, and a couple of epic Phantom of the Operas.
These were the original lyrics. This video is from the Rainbow december concert.He didn't wrote the lyrics before this show.They already performed the song with those lyrics at performed at reading, earlier that year, and with stratton on guitar.
cuando cumpli 8 años mi abuela q hoy esta en el cielo me regalo el casete de iron maiden, made in japan, solo tenia 5 canciones, era para el unico para el q alcanzaba el presupuesto en la disqueria, ame y atesore ese casete, y fue este tema Killers con el q empece mi fanatismo x iron maiden 4ever
RIP Paul. One of the great metal singers of all time
🥲🥲🥲
sad news. :(
Agreed. Incredible vocals
Killers , Wrathchild ❤❤ only Paul 💪🔥
Paul was untouchable at this time! What a voice and true attitude!
pena q agr ta meio catatonico
muito melhor que o bruce. O paul tem mais alma cantando, sem falar da energia.
Untouchable is correct! Fantastic performance
The Punk Metal prince, love him to this day :) .
Paul a Star who lose the Brightness

Mi
The lyrics in the video above, is different from the lyrics in killers album. Why is it? Do u know ? Thanks.
@@michelangelodelavega9908 because they changed it for the album. This live version is older.
@@Bananenbennie i didn't know that.
Thanks dude.
Source of that information?
This is the album that turned me onto Iron Maiden. Paul and Clive were awesome. What a voice and what a drummer
Agree
Me too - but on Maiden Japan
The classic line up for me.
Igual pienso, éste álbum fue mi inicio con la gran banda del heavy metal Iron Maiden.
You know, everyone always talks about EVH, Rhoads, Hendrix, Page, etc., but Dave and Adrian are sooo underrated. Their dual solos are as good as anything out there. And, there are so many solos from so many songs.
YES!! Every bit as good as Tipton and Downing if not better! The changes are sick, and their new stuff just keeps raising the bar.
Dave and Adrian are really tasteful with their soloing, there is never a sense of 'showing off', just playing what is best for the song.
@@shawnjohnson3228 lol......i love these guys but they arent tipton/downing.........
@@trillrifaxegrindor4411 True, those nobodies got nothing on Dave and Adrian. no one knows their names.
The dual solos are more Thin Lizzy than anything else imo
I would like to offer my sincere prayers for Paul's repose.
Can't believe two guys of that line up have already have passed away! R.I.P. Paul and Clive
get ready .. we aint young anymore
Maiden with Di'Anno. Oh Yeaaaah!!!
All these years and Killers is still my favorite Maiden album.
El mío también 👍
All killer no filler
Foi o primeiro álbum do Maiden que eu comprei,na minha opinião o melhor.Foi ai que a Donzela me pegou.
@@osvaldosantinon9137O Paul Di Anno é tambien Brazileiro.
Mine too!!
Rip 🪦 Paul 💔💔💔 you were always my favorite…
Man, how can anybody not say this is SOLID GOLD! Di'Anno and Clive are like the oil and radiator fluid in a 1970 muscle car! Without them, car doesn't run!
Well it seems the car ran pretty good the last 40 years
@@pietdijkman1980 - Yes, but not the same sound!!! I like the rawness of the Di'Anno years!!!! It is like a 1970 Firebird revving its engine! Up The Irons!🤘

DiAnno had the perfect vocals lol tell me how Bruce sounds singing these songs.. Not the same
@@Duck_Dodgers - No Way!!! Di'Anno is king of vocals and Dickinson could never touch him what so ever!!! I like Bruce don't get me wrong and will always love Maiden, but this lineup is unmatched no question with Clive on drums!! Well oiled machine running full steam!!
Thank you Paul, just thank you.
Such rawness and attitude! Paul was truly one of a kind which helped produce two of the greatest metal albums of all time. Rest In Power, Paul Di Anno.
Paul is gritty, raw steel. Bruce is polished gold. I'll take raw every single time!
I'm 50 and just figured out how good the 1st two albums are. Always disliked maiden with Bruce.
RIP Paul Di'anno. The great and eternal singer of Iron Maiden.
Love the punk edge Paul gave them. RIP my friend.
Don't forgret C;ive Burr
Clive Burr is Dave Lombardo's real dad. What a beast he was for the era! And D'ianno is freaking nuts on that sort of evil Elvis look
This is real Maiden , with Paul Di'Anno is just PERFECT,best album Iron maidem and killers!
Like a missle on fire!!!!!!!!!!
If you´ve just written the first phrase alone, i would have givenn you a thumb up.
Pra mim também ,esse é o real Iron Maiden.Sem frescura no palco.
you're right bro!
And Clive too
RIP Paul sono cresciuto con i tuoi dischi. Che la terra sia lieve
The voice off Dianno, its perfect.
Perfect feeling
First 2 albums..The pure Iron Maiden..best ever..!!!!
I agree 100%
Muchos pensamos lo mismo, que los 2 primeros discos son los mejores, los demás también nos gustan, pero los 2 primeros son los mejores y ahora vi... creo van a volver a cantar Paul dianno y el otro cantante que reemplazó a Bruce y una gira despedida... yo cómo muchos queremos ver a Paul cantando otra vez con la banda
Rest in noise, Paul Di'Anno; your music and your wonderfully gruff, ballsy voice shall live on after you! Up The Irons!!! \m/ \m/
I love Paul Di'Anno, Maiden's albums with him are amazing, he is not in good health, what a pity, he is quite a singer
R.I.P. Paul, the great and historic voice of Iron Maiden!!! thank you!!!
I was shocked to learn about Paul's passing away. RIP, Legend!
RIP Paul It was your voice that got me into metal
Burr is amazing.
R.I.P. 🪦🤘🏻In loving Memory of Paul Andrews aka. Paul Di’ Anno
1958 - 2024 🎸🌹💐🥀
tremendous voice that Paul was carrying, energy, attitude and a lot of power... it hurts, everything ends... long live the iron maiden
The Punk Metal King has passed, but he'll never be forgotten. You were the best of the best, Paul, your vocals on the first 2 Maiden albums will never be equaled.

Rest in Power Paul!!!
The Demon is gone now! Go jam it out with Clive!
RIP Paul
Killers has always been my favorite Maiden song
Prodigal son is mine
one of the great metal albums of all time
La esencia misma del metal
Great as ever, Paul with his Maiden.....history that you can never forget!
The definitive version of killers - it doesn't get any better than this. Di'Anno and Burr are eternal.
do u have the lyrics to this version?
Wow Clive was an amazing drummer.
Better than Nicko by far, his speed was extraordinary. "Nicko's great but Clive was the best drummer Maiden ever had" Quote by Bruce in a interview
@@m42037 haha noo... But he's realy good tho... Heavily underrated
@@AnnWahlquist Ha ha yes, I'm a drummer and Killers is the fastest most difficult record to play than any other
@@m42037 im also a drummer... I know what im talking about... And nicko can play the killer songs in his sleep ..
@@AnnWahlquist Slow, I've watched him, go watch "Live After Death, he sucks playing Clive. You're no drummer gtf off this thread a$$hole
I have Killers LP... that was my father....he bought it in 1981.Thats my gold
This song is my favourite one from IM. Paul D'ianno sings with his soul, love his raw voice, his style. R.i.P Paul and thank you for the music.
It's superb but the best they ever did comes from the same album and it's called Wrathchild❤
Thank you Paul, rest in peace
Whoever was at this concert were a bunch of lucky people that's for sure 🤘🏻🙂
Paul is was brutal punk metal voice 🎸 I miss You Man 💔
Paul Di'anno encarna la verdadera esencia de los mejores Iron Maiden, insuperables en sus comienzos.
Su voz no se compara con nadie. Es punk hermosa y blues
Totalmente de acuerdo,lo mejor de maiden,sin duda
Totalmente l mejor de maiden
@@lupayer77 sin duda l mejor de maiden
@@jorgegarcia4045 no es la mejor maiden en mi opinión pero si es una etapa insuperable de igual manera la de Dickinson, cada etapa es buena siendo esto en una sola banda

Fuck yeah. I'll pay for the gas!
RIP Paul 🙏🏿💙🎙️🎵🎶🕊️

Paul is the equivalent of bon Scott to AC/DC , both Johnson and Dickinson are ok but di'anno and Scott just fukin rock
Right on 🤟
What I'd really love is for Di'anno to collect together all of the lyrics he ever used for Killers and produce an "extended" version.
as i recall from the maiden dvd, which this is off of, dianno stated that he actually wrote the songs for THIS version in the dressing room. The song already was written and stuff, but he changes a few parts here and there, and that is why these lyrics are different than the album and other concerts. Hopefully that ends the lyric dispute

Con ellos conocí esta música, Clive Burr y Paul muy grandes.
All these years later
Still top 5 maiden song
RIP Paul, you'll forever be remembered and revived through Maiden's music!! 🎉😎🤘
Rest in Metal, Paul Di'Anno. Thank You for your wonderful talent in Heavy Metal Music. 🤘🏻🖤🤘🏻
Iron Maiden is the worlds best heavy metal bands in United Kingdom & the worlds.
Para min melhores fases do iron maiden 1980,1981 e 1982 adoro está fase do iron maiden
RIP Paul Di’anno those vocals are seriously so good. You can tell everything that followed iron maiden in the metal scene was heavily influenced by their style of playing and particularly the style of metal vocals. Thank you for your part in developing of one the best and longest serving musical styles in the world 🤘
it that true? I've never heard about it! Amazing!
Paul Diano deserves recognition!
Great song! Fantastic drums ! Clive Burr nr. 1 melodic and powerful !
D Annos vocals and image gave a punk vibe to their music.
RIP Paul......find EVH up there and send something down to us
In the Early Days documentary, Paul said that he basically made up the lyrics right before the show. UP THE IRONS
I wanna go back to the 80's!! So bad!
If ever there was a song connected to a singer, it's Paul Di'anno and this song, his voice fucking MADE this song, and I listen to it often still!
Thank you Paul for giving me this awesome musical experience, I will treasure this amazing performance until the day I die.
Rest in peace you absolute beast
Charlotte was ferocious at this gig!! Absolutely top notch
Iron Maiden,ja despontava no início dos anos oitenta para se tornar uma das maiores bandas de Heavy de todos os tempos ! Vivi essa época e jamais esquecerei !!! Para sempre Paul Di'Anno nunca te esqueceremos !!!
Thank you Clive. Rest In Piece of Mind.
In 1980, when I was 14, I bought the Killers LP...I still have it from back then in my cupboard!
I've never thought Paul's death would shattered me so much....
Rest in peace Clive....
Since 1990 I've listened
Iron Maiden and Metallica,
I was that year 6 years old,
now 38 years old. I began
to listen to Black Sabbath
in 1998. Queen came into
patterns next year 1991.
Nunca existirá algo parecido,iron maiden com qualquer vocal sempre será a maior banda do mundo 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
IRON MAIDEN PURA VIDA
With the voice of John Sloman?
man i have new respect for this singer rather than the new one. he kicks ass when singing these songs! :D thx for sharring vid
Paul Di Anno Clive Burr era Iron Maiden is gold. Killers is a underated Iron Maiden song.
He actually wrote those lyrics backstage at the last minute before they went on. They were re-written for the album.
I saw them on the Killers tour when they opened for Judas Priest in 1981.. damn what an intense show!..
I saw that tour, too. It was fucking brilliant!
Steve and Clive 's galloping sound at its best !
best iron maiden line up ever!
Power and soul of first two Iron Maiden albums are Paul Di'anno and Clive Burr.
RIP Paul and Clive. Now you are together again.
Real Maiden!! Clive was from another world he could play rolls like Buddy Rich, it's sad the guy doing this video didn't even show Clive playing
they had something more than everyone else...that is proved by the fact that they are still fucking energetic and makes bang your head still in 2009
One of my top 5 Maiden songs for sure
Que en paz descanse mi querido Paul di'anno😢😢😢
No hay palabras para describir .. esa energia,es la mejor banda del mundo!!!
Vuela alto asesino Paul. Descansa en paz.
Wow I've never heard this song with these lyrics!
THE BEST SONG OF MAIDEN!!!!!!!
Bruce and Pual great vocalists in their own right.
Rock in Peace. Legend.

Health Problems. Steve fired him

Guapo Paul … tan bello ! Y esa voz maravillosa …
Paul em plena forma... fantástico!
O cara cantava demais!! Prefiro ele ao Bruce
