@@AngelofAnguish If Dickinson was the original singer on those songs, the first album would be a total flop and the same goes for the second one (if they got around to actually making it) and Di'Anno would never have the chance to replace him since the band would break up and Harris would pursue a career in football.
@@Paul-hl8yg thats whats so great about Maiden. They never stuck to just one specific style. They have their signature sound thats recognizable in every album, but there's a lot of variety in their catalog. There's something for everybody. Recently I've begun to appreciate Blaze Bayley's albums a lot more, theres some great stuff in there.
@@Icarusvampire at first i didnt like him, I thought some of his songs were good, but overall I didnt care. Its only recently I've begun to appreciate his music a lot more. He's written some very good stuff in and out of Maiden, he's got a good voice and overall he seems like a great guy. Yeah, he's not as versatile as Bruce Dickinson, or as iconic as Paul DiAnno, but he's still a fine heavy metal singer. His solo stuff is where it's at. There's a live video of his band playing Run to the Hills on TH-cam. Its a bootleg and the sound quality is shit, but his voice is clear enough. Its down tuned to fit his range and honestly, he freaking nails it. I honestly think that Maiden misused him and he also wasn't ready for that kind of gig at the time.
I fucking love Bruce Dickinson, he's probably my top 1. BUT! Paul Di'Anno's contributions to Iron Maiden cannot be overstated. The guy is an absolute powerhouse of a singer. Ive no doubt that Di'Anno's vocal skills are on par with Bruce's, even if I prefer Bruce. I'll just say this; If I had to pick just one Iron Maiden album to own on Vinyl, it would definitely be a Paul Di'Anno album.
exactly, he has a better natural timber to his voice.Unfortunately, not as consistent and uunpredictable, especially with the self abuse and lack of pprofessionalism
@@Rowlph8888 True. I like Paul's voice itself a little more tbh. Dude sounds like a wild animal blowing out the speakers, its awesome. The thing with Bruce however, is that he's pretty much mastered the art of singing. If you watch videos of his one man show explaining how he sings specific songs, its like taking a singing lesson from a master. Hes very disciplined, same with his fencing. I think his singing is not so much about his voice, as much as his overall personality. Same with Paul. Its like Lou Reed and Pavarotti. They couldn't be more different, but both can reach the same heights singing the same material.
I bought the first two albums in my youth… that was iron maiden for me, the transition from punk to metal… Dickson could never match Paul and never will. Thanks for the memories Paul ❤
The original Iron Maiden .. That certainly got me in 1980 with album & then gig at my local city hall. Met band members at the hall side door & a couple of their autographs on a photo of them (many years later stolen). That was a fantastic concert & more so because of Paul Di'anno.. A metal legend in my opinion! An amazing concert because the band that played most of their first album that night, played one of the greatest albums ever produced. The title of that album.. Iron Maiden!!! 👍🇬🇧
This and Wrathchild were two videos on MTV in the fall of 1981. I'm glad they were on, because I discovered a great band. And they became one of my favorites for a lifetime.
I saw them live on this tour (Shea's Buffalo Theater with Judas Priest) and it STILL gives me goosebumps. One of THE best concerts I have ever seen. It was mind-blowing. Everything changed that night for metal and we all knew it.
The first iron maiden performance I've ever seen I was 3 years old and been a fan ever since I'm 46 years old now and like I said iron maiden for life 🎼🎵🎶🎸🔥🤘🤘🤘💯
Nenhum Arranha Céu chega ao Topo se seus alicerces não fossem extremamente poderosos e resistentes as maiores intempéries e vicissitudes das Senhoras do Destino que nem Zeus e nem Odin controla. Parabéns "Paul Di'anno" pelos seus 63 anos. Seu nome que marca o início da trajetória triunfal do Iron Maiden e que assim que se colocou no Mapa do Rock and Roll Really Kickin' All The Asses mudou a Cena e a Direção em 180 Graus do Heavy Metal Mundial e a contra gosto de muitos isso está registrado no primeiro álbum da Banda com a "Canção" mais Profética de todas da Donzela de Ferro que tão só e simplesmente e nada coincidentemente se chama "Iron Maiden". Não preciso dizer mais nada a não ser demonstrar minha Gratidão por você existir e perdurar mesmo na Via Tortuosa e fora dos Holofotes. Quando o nome Paul Di'anno foi recrutado na pessoa certa, na hora certa com a postura de um verdadeiro Rocker n Roller para convencer que existia algo mais Poderoso que o Punk Rock e que o Heavy Metal na versão NWOBHM emplacou tendo você como FRONTMAN como um Kamikaze atingindo a alma em cheio de quem estava vivo como testemunha ocular para lembrar quem pegou carona quando virou moda ser fã do Iron Maiden sobre o fato que você era sim adorado pelos primeiros Fãs Raízes do Iron Maiden! Sua voz ecoará para sempre com essa música e com um dos Logos mais famosos da história do Rock and Roll: IRON MAIDEN PS: sem qualquer apologia às drogas é sabido por todos que elas podem destruir a vida de uma pessoa comum tanto como a de Rockstars e a de qualquer Artista que for, afinal nem todo mundo tem a resistência física e a sorte por exemplo de Rockstars como desde Jimmy Page ao Tommy Lee, mas sem sombra de dúvida, que sem as drogas, ninguém teria aberto as Portas da Percepção e não existiria nem Rock and Roll e muito menos seu Filho chamado de Heavy Metal. LONG LIVE IRON MAIDEN. No Skyscraper reaches the Top if its foundations are not extremely powerful and resistant like the greatest weather and vicissitudes of the Ladies of Destiny that neither Zeus nor Odin controls. Congratulations "Paul Di'anno" for his 63 years. Its name that marks the beginning of Iron Maiden's triumphal trajectory and that as soon as it was put on the Rock and Roll Map Really Kickin 'All The Asses changed the Scene and Direction in 180 Degrees of the Heavy Metal World and the reluctance of many that is recorded on the band's first album with the most prophetic "Song" of all of the Iron Maiden that just and simply and nothing coincidentally is called "Iron Maiden". I don't need to say anything other than to show my Gratitude for you to exist and lose even on Via Tortuosa and out of the spotlight. When the name Paul Di'anno was recruited in the right person, at the right time with the posture of a true Rocker n Roller to convince that there was something more powerful than Punk Rock and that Heavy Metal in the NWOBHM version achieved with FRONTMAN as a Kamikaze hitting the soul of those who were alive as an eyewitness to remember who hitchhiked when it became fashionable to be an Iron Maiden fan about the fact that you were indeed adored by the first Iron Maiden Root Fans! Your voice will echo forever with this song and with one of the most famous Logos in the history of Rock and Roll: IRON MAIDEN PS: without any apology for drugs it is known by all that they can destroy the life of an ordinary person as much as Rockstars and that of any Artist who is, after all not everyone has the physical stamina and luck for example Rockstars like Jimmy Page to Tommy Lee, but without a doubt, that without drugs, no one would have opened as Doors of Perception and there would be neither Rock and Roll nor his Son called Heavy Metal. LONG LIVE IRON MAIDEN.
I was at this gig, this was the first time I saw Adrian Smith after Dennis Stratton left the band, Steve and Dave were in beast mode because of Adrian struggling to keep up with them, since then Adrian has gone from strength to strength after this gig, this was in December 1980, I remember the mad Eddie Christmas badges being thrown at us from the guys wearing the mad eddies from sacks. I never saw maiden live again because when they done a tour of the killers Album I thought I could live with paying to watch Adrian in place of Dennis but, I weren’t prepared to pay and watch Bruce for Paul. (The first two maiden albums will forever be in my Record collection.)Number of the beast was a monster album commercially, I reckon that got them into the big boys league. 😎👍
RIP Paul DiAnno. Tell Clive we miss him.🤘
RIP Paul. Never underestimate just how important Him and Clive were in the early days. ❤️🤟
R.I.P. Paul...
Go and play with Clive in heaven...
😢😢😢
R.I.P. Paul Di'Anno 🤘🏻 Legends never die 🖤
🇧🇷🇮🇱
R.I.P. mate... one hell of a history you've written
there's something so authentic about this original lineup that I don't think this sound could ever be duplicated by anyone else.
Rest in peace, warrior! I'll always love you, Paul ❤😢
IF I have a time machine I would go go back in the 80's and stay there way bettter then 2022 for sure
You've got that right, sister.
R.I.P. Paul Di’Anno (1958-2024) 🙏
You are legendary, always and forever 🤘🇬🇧
Iron Maiden and Killers are my favorite Maiden albums.
IRON MAIDEN!!! The soundtrack of my youth. What else can I say but thanks boys. You made all the difference.
The news of Paul's death came just as it was announced last month that he was scheduled to tour Japan. It is very sad. RIP Paul🤍
This song with Paul DiAnno is much better!
Agree.. First two albums. Di'anno & that Iron Maiden sound back then, raw & pure metal 👍🇬🇧
@@Paul-hl8yg In your opinion, what would Maiden be and sound like if BRUCE was the original singer, and PAUL was his replacement?
@@Paul-hl8yg o
@@AngelofAnguish But he wasn't. 😏

Rest in Power, Paul.
UP THE IRONS!
🤘🏼
Thank You Paul 😢
Thank you Paul DiAnno (RIP) for the vocals on this classic Metal song .
The best maiden lineup it was never the same without paul and clive the first 2 albums flawless 🤟🤟🤟🤟👍👍
Absolutely man I'm a Paul and clive freak of nature fan 🤘🤘🤘🤘but Murray is my favorite 🤘✌
yep... I agree!
Like a missle on fire my friend! Nothing compares!!!!!!!
What about stretton :-D ?
Love him as well but Steve and him fought
Paul's Maiden...a straight left right to the face. Man so so far ahead of everyone else circa 80
Steve Maiden*
Awesome song, awesome performance. Paul will forever go down as one of the best voices in heavy metal history
2 completely different bands - with and without DiAnno. Say what you want, but this is TOP!
LMAO!
Di'anno was Iron Maiden for me.. All changed after he left. The original line up is the best in my opinion 👍🇬🇧

This was the 16th video shown on MTV back on Aug 1 1981 ... 40 years ago as I write this ... Clive Burr is still my favorite metalhead
Whoa MTV was awesome back then if they played this !
@@philipholmes5884yeah, MTV used to be pretty damn cool. After the 90s reality TV stunk that shit up.
Thank you Paul.
Thank you Clive.

Always loved Paul bringing that Big Boys punk rock aggression 🤙🏼
the band's evolution in the same year with the addition of adrian smith is impressive.
When Clive joins in ... 0:19
Explosive!!!
Every Iron Maiden fan (Paul for me) either has Paul or Bruce as their favourite, poor ol Blaze never gets a look in😂
My local butcher is obsessed with Blaze. He's always preaching the gospel.
Love this lineup.
RIP Paul Di'anno
Hope you're up there jamming with Clive Burr

David Coverdale's WhiteSnake also played. What A Show!!!
I saw Priest and Maiden the same tour at the Lehigh Valley Fairgrounds Allentown, Pa. What great show!!
Brings back great memories I was at this concert
to share 5 minutes of your memories... 🙂
👍
The first iron maiden performance I've ever seen I was 3 years old and been a fan ever since I'm 46 years old now and like I said iron maiden for life 🎼🎵🎶🎸🔥🤘🤘🤘💯
Hace 44 años ya teníamos esto y hoy lo seguimos teniendo que suerte !!!
I like both. Rare for me to say that about any other bands
AC/DC is the only other one that comes to mind.
I remember seeing them on the Killers tour. Didn't even know who they were at the time opening up for Judas Priest. They kicked ass!!
same here Great tour
The impact when listening to this song for the first time, isn't forgot.
This Is the maiden I love!!!
Saludos desde Bogotá, esperando el concierto, genial paul ..

Para mi uno de los mejores!!!! Larga vida al heavy metal!!!!
Grande paul
The best vocals
Rip paul love ya bro!!!🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
I'll be singing this song on my concert tonight... \m/
Simplesmente um clássico o 1 primeiro álbum da donzela
Paul dianno un clásico con Iron Maiden, tenía su propio estilo y muy chingon por cierto 👍.
CLIVE BURRS DRUMMING IS FUCKEN BADD ASS ON THIS SONG.........RIP.....!!!!
A truly groundbreaking song and band. Fantastic performance great live band
This is, The best Maiden.
Love this.Ten times better than sluggish live performances with Bruce.
Yep, this era is by far the best
Bruce in the 80's wasn't sluggish at all. And he is not sluggish now, he has never been sluggish. He always had and stills have so much energy.
I was at this gig, this was the first time I saw Adrian Smith after Dennis Stratton left the band, Steve and Dave were in beast mode because of Adrian struggling to keep up with them, since then Adrian has gone from strength to strength after this gig, this was in December 1980, I remember the mad Eddie Christmas badges being thrown at us from the guys wearing the mad eddies from sacks.

They kicked fucking ass everywhere they played...long live Eddie 🤟
Eddie rocks!
RIP Paul. Legend.
God I really enjoy this line up Bruce is so awesome but Paul kills on vocals like a whole different sounding band maybe it's the punk style vocals
I’m f crying from the inside listening this…
For me, it’s Paul who was Iron Maiden…that’s it, not Harris, but him. RIP.
That's right the 80s by far was the best decade in musical history
One of the best metal bands ever. 🇬🇧🤘
A banda era mais banda, mais solta, mais feliz, mais rock n roll.
D'Ianno yeah!!!
Beautiful ❤️🎸
Essa formação ....1000%
No doubt the greatest Iron Maiden singer
Might be one of their greatest songs
Não tem explicação, interpretação IMPECÁVEL
Almost thrash metal beat. Clive Burr was the best drummer Maiden ever have and the guitars was much more wild that they play today
Still far from thrash
Rest in piece Paul
1980 i saw them in Düsseldorf, germany before KISS….well, after their first song Kiss were forgotten
Song: Iron Maiden
Album: Iron Maiden
Band Iron Maiden
Its their theme song---their mission statement---their reason for being---their way of life!
Tinha 12 anos sensacional
This is THE classic line up.
Steve Harris is a machine.
Adrian Smith...so glad he joined Maiden after Dennis Stratton was let go, whose guitar work on the self-titled debut is fantastic!
R.I.P;Paul Di'Anno
RIP Legend Paul, job well done😊
R.I.P legend.
Best line up !!!!
Aired at First MTV Broadcast. HOO-WEE!
R.I.P. Paul
Pura emocion ...
Мне тоже нравятся первые....альбомы с диано
Они непосредственные....жизненные.....
I'm pretty sure I was at this concert...around December 1980.
Iron maiden era mi grupo. ¿Por que te fuiste Paul? Ya nada fue igual. SNIF
R.I.P.
Can't reach such CLLAS🤘🤘
Wait, just wait. Adrian and Dave are rocking this. Nuff said. Up the Irons!
R.I.P Paul ..😢
paul is the best
Un Tornado de Rock !!!
Still the best Iron Maiden punky/hardcore track.....!
Paul był ikoną. U nas w Polsce punki i metale przestali się bić ze sobą od czasu jego wciągnięcia do Iron Maiden. 😉
Melhor formação do Iron Maiden
Descansa en paz, Paul.
RIP Legend Paul !
I didn’t realize Adrian performed live with Maiden before killers was recorded/released
Machs gut, Paul !! Wir sind bei dir.
Wish I could find the fear of the dark version with this guy singing its a great live version
I'll always love the Paul version of Maiden the best. Funny, I still think of Bruce as the "new" singer, lol.
