Paul Di Anno about Bruce Dickinson 2012

[@crushingalldeceivers]

Sometimes it is better to live in the past and just stare at the album sleeves and ignore youtube exists.

[@thewordofgod2010]

Paul Di Anno blew it, he should have just said, "Those guys are great friends of mine, enjoyed being in that band, And Bruce is a great singer but not my style, I'm here doing what I love most, punk rock. If you want to hear Bruce you got a ticket to the wrong gig."

[@tombstoneharrystudios584]

Exactly! Paul could have handled it in a professional manner...but he’s sadly not very professional and chooses hard man posturing and violence rather than subtlety You’ll always get the odd drunken asshole when you’re past your prime and playing small gigs like this. He should have ignored it and just carried on “never argue with a fool as they’ll win due to experience “ or used the old Agree and Absurdify ploy “Bruce, yeah! He’s out the back...parking the van. Come on lads 1,2,3,4!”

But Paul no accept is fate the Iron Maiden make sucess without him.pay attention how he reacted!

[@atranfanatic]

I can't believe the hate and anger on here. I am going to state my opinion. if Paul didn't get kicked out, Iron Maiden wouldn't have made it. Sorry it is the truth, he was not 100% committed to the band. Didn't have the best stage presence, and did too much partying. They were looking to make it in the long run, not the short stint. They had to do what they needed to do at the time. As for the band, I I like all their albums. Of course my favorite off all time is "Piece Of Mind" But I still like and respect the first 2 albums. They all have their place, and did what they needed to do. Iron Maiden is still my favorite metal band of all time. And I have seen them live quite a few times. Up the Irons!!

[@TheRageaholic]

Iron Maiden already *had* made it when Paul Di'Anno was in the band! Stop rewriting history. First Maiden world tour? Paul Di'Anno. First U.S. tour? Paul Di'Anno. First appearance on Top of the Pops? Paul Di'Anno. First *headlining* tour? Paul Di'Anno. First major chart success? Paul Di'Anno. First music video? Paul Di'Anno. First gold record? Paul Di'Anno. First platinum record? Paul Di'Anno. First gold-selling concert video? Paul Di'Anno. First top 5 single? Paul Di'Anno. Bruce Dickinson jumped into a band that were already white-hot... and was erroneously given credit for how white-hot it already was. He didn't *make* Maiden. He didn't have any more of a commercial voice. Paul could have just as easily ascended to the same heights, and in fact... *already had*. Even after Maiden, his own band, BattleZone, had some fairly major success in the late '80s with the Children of Madness record. The band had musical differences, and Paul moved on. And that's that. Bruce didn't make the band. He isn't responsible for the success. He's a good singer in a successful band. Which is the exact same thing Paul was.

[@TheRageaholic]

Really? You require evidence of Bruce Dickinson being a raging dickhead? I thought it was common knowledge. The guy ripped up Maiden fans' signs in 2006 because they were writing 'play the hits' - a reference to the fact that Bruce was refusing to sing the Maiden standards in favor of the wanky, pretenious, overlong, impossibly boring tripe on the 'A Matter of Life and Death' album. Bruce Dickinson rips up sign at Iron Maiden concert At least Paul Di'Anno was provoked by a mouthy fan. Bruce Dickinson only shredded that fan's sign because of his massive ego and boundless pretentiousness.

[@Gregbaltzer]

***** The thing is most bands get offended when fans only want to hear bands constantly playing the same songs. AMOLAD was a great album. My favorite, and possibly their darkest and heaviest, since Piece of Mind. It is offensive, and even Lemmy says in his book he gets tired of it. Lemmy stated that Motorhead have written tons of great music since Ace of Spades but fans only want to hear Ace Of Spades, and he gets sick of it. Iron Maiden also responded to fans by doing the Somewhere back in Time tour after that tour for the fans. Also Bruce personally flew to Haiti and helped fly people out who were stranded there, at his own expense. That fan deserved to have the sign ripped up, it's disrespectful. Bruce also stuck up for the fans at Ozzfest because he didn't agree with the fact that the first four rows in front of the stage were reserved for press and fans weren't allowed to get up closer, even though the first four rows weren't really being used at all. Sharon responded by cutting Iron Maiden's power off during their set and having eggs thrown at the band.

[@mgb4692]

Lemmy was 100% right, so is Bruce (even if he didn't come out say the same verbatim). If you want to hear the same album all the time, you really aren't a fan of the band, just one album. Plus it's really doing a disservice to a band to want to hear only one album or ten songs when they have a 40-year career to pick from (whether Maiden, Motorhead, Sabbath, Priest, Rush, Floyd, whomever). If all you do is play older material you'll just be a novelty act, like Queensryche was on the verge of being before they got rid of Geoff Tate. I might think Metallica and Slayer are shit today but I'm not gonna go see them and expect them to play everything from the first three albums. Hell I'll stay home and blast Kill, SNM, Master, and Reign if I wanted to do that.

[@TheRageaholic]

Nobody was asking Maiden to 'just play the hits'... Iron Maiden were playing 'A Matter of Life and Death' *in its entirety* on that tour! The fans were asking for some *variety* and less Prog Rock B.S.! The album wasn't strong enough *at all* to accommodate that decision, and that 'one fan'... was, in fact, representative of a good THIRD of the Maiden fanbase that felt that what the band were doing was pretentious. Because it *was*. It was a presumptuous gesture because it assumed that - in the same year of its release - A Matter of Life and Death was already 'classic' enough to play from beginning to end in a live setting. ...what Maiden discovered, instead, was that the album was weak, meandering, ponderous and slow. And very few if any of those songs worked in a live setting. As evidenced by the fact that they play virtually nothing from AMOLAD on stage in 2014.

I have been a life long Maiden fan. The first album I listened to was Killers and was hooked. Now Paul was a great singer at that time and those records he recorded with Maiden will forever be loved by us all. However, Bruce took them to another level! I don't think Paul should be insulting him or ranting at fans for mentioning Bruce's name. It just looks bad. And as far as that opera singer comment...Paul honestly bro...that was uncalled for. So sad to see him clearly still upset. And FYI Running Free is not what made Maiden famous in my opinion (just my opinion folks) the album Number of the Beast is what skyrocketed them into another stratosphere.

[@Gauntlet1985]

Self titled IRON MAIDEN and KILLERS were both great records.... no doubt about that.... however... Iron Maiden truly spread it's wings as a band when Bruce entered the fold and the next three albums followed.... NUMBER OF THE BEAST, PIECE OF MIND, POWERSLAVE. It's where Maiden really gained the status of a true metal force. Paul was good but sorry, the band would not be where it became if Bruce never entered the fold. Paul can make light of Bruce's vocals all he wants on Run To The Hills but the truth is that Paul never had the vocal range that Bruce does and he could never make those later records come alive with his limited vocals. Paul comes across as a bitter man who dreams of what he wished he had and faces the fact of just how amazing and perfect for Maiden, Bruce really is. Bruce not only is an amazing singer that fits Maiden perfectly, but Bruce also has the stage presence that is perfect for Maiden also, Paul never had the latter.

[@JacksonBradbury]

Paul was cool. Iron Maiden and Killers were great albums, but Dickinson's albums like Number of the Beast, Powerslave, etc. were just plain better. Besides here is Di'anno, who looks like your alcoholic grandfather that yells at the tv, While BD is still with Iron Maiden.

[@guyjoe5569]

The only reason why Iron Maiden kicked out Paul is because he got such a big drug and alcohol addiction that his live performance started inhibiting. Even look at some of Harris's and Murray's interviews, they say it themselves

[@timsanderson5572]

1:36 "and I'm not gay." Yeah, neither is Bruce. I saw Di'anno a couple times solo and he loved talking the gay talk about people...it was like that was the only insult he knew.

Classic Paul, I saw Maiden w/ Paul on the Killers tour in the U.S. The 1st two Maiden records drew me to become a Maiden fan. I've always liked Paul's raw vocal style. Remember Maiden fans, before Bruce and Nicko, Paul DiAnno and Clive Burr (R.I.P.) helped put Maiden on the map.

[@balazsilorand3296]

Poor old man with his cover band...so lame

[@translucent_nick]

It's really sad to see Di'Anno, the voice of my childhood, being in such a sad state : he's badmouthing Maiden all the time, but he's earn his money by singing the songs they made together - in other words, relying on the past glories of his time on "the band that treated him so bad" in is own words. Also, he attacking a guy that didn't speak English and couldn't defend hiself - too bad for the fan that speak to a drunk Di'Anno - but the crowd took Di'Anno's side, 'cause "he is the idol here". If Maiden "are a money making machine", then Di'Anno trying to have a share of the pie - not from me, I rather give my money to Maiden, but only when they release DVD''s for a good reason (Maiden England '88 for example) and GOOD new albums - not for everything they put out.

[@HeadBap]

Dude the guy in the audience knew wtf he was doing, total bs for him to be out there chanting bruce Dickinson, that's fucking bullshit, if you're too stupid to see that, then I feel bad for you.

[@translucent_nick]

Robert Goelzer O.K., I agree it was a stupid reaction from the fan to doing this - you just can't go to a concert and scream about the "rival" singer in the face of the performing singer, but you know, you don't have to feel bad about me - better feel bad about Di'anno....

[@TheJkm1969]

[@Me310392]

Poor Paul obviously still bitter that Maiden still went places without him, still having to play Iron Maiden songs cause he can't write his own and I'm pretty sure The Number of the Beast was the song that made Iron Maiden not running free

[@666Wizardsleeve]

I was a huge Dianno fan as I loved his raspy vocals and thought "Iron Maiden" and "Killers" were awesome albums, which were the ones that got me into Maiden in the first place. I got hold of a borrowed copy of "The Beast", Dianno's autobiography and really looked forward to reading it. I sat down, opened it up, read the first 3 pages where he told me numerous times how tough he was, how many drugs he takes and how awesome he is with "the birds" and I put it down, never to read another page. What a self-obsessed knob-jockey! It was really disappointing because I was such a fan, and I had laboured under a delusion that perhaps because he was always the punkier influenced member of Maiden, that maybe he was politically astute, with something of a social conscience. NOT! I will always admire his vocals on those first two albums, and his work with Dianno, but as a person he has gone way down in my estimation.

[@jimmysaboter3]

"Being Punk" is not about being politically astute or having a social conscience. It's about doing what you want and being yourself. You want to be politically astute? Fine! You don't want to talk about politics? Great You wanna be a Nazi and sing about it? Good You want to be a Stalin lover or a Pol Pot sympathizer? Nice Don't try to put the "Punk attitude" in limits. It's people like you who are not punk. DiAnno is a great free spirit. He does what he wants and says what he wants. You don't like him? It's your right, but the bit about him not being "Punk Good Enough" is total bullshit.

[@mattmaiden5433]

well bruce isn't the original singer for iron maiden but since bruce joined iron maiden became extremely known by everyone, plus bruce's voice is just orgasmic and it can vary for lots of genres but paul do have his own uniqueness, his voice sounds more 70's ish rather than a metal voice he would sing good in deep purple songs (my views) but still no one could top off bruce's onstage performance, i mean di'anno would never run around the stage singing like a thespian, so BRUCE WINS
