I love all the Maiden stuff, but there was a different aggressive tone to those first 2 albums that was mostly Paul. Ill never forget the 1st time i heard Killers and my mind was blown🤯 thank you Paul🙏🙄 RIP brother.

[@HopeLanzasdgrrll]

Don't forget the brilliant Maiden Japan recorded live w/Paul. That spent a ton of time on my turntable!! It only came out on EP 5 songs back in the day. They have it now on KZbin the full show. Some of the sound quality is a bit rough but my Lord what a show!!

[@50beowulf]

I learned how to play bass from these early records. Paul added a punk energy to the early Maiden songs.

[@prnydecalle]

Same here, Killers was my first Maiden album and been a fan since

[@Jager71]

100% Paul brought a bit of a Punk vibe (sorry Steve)

[@robvange]

And Clives fierce drumming…. Insane combo!!!!👍👍👍

[@RandyFricke]

Still the best Iron Maiden in my book. It was really Paul's voice that drew me in initially.

[@chriskuhn7140]

Mine too and Clive's drumming. Those first two albums are fantastic.

[@kevinsmith-uw4mj]

Early Maiden holds a special place in the hearts of all Metal Heads. Raw, Heavy, Creative, and Original. This band came blasting out of England playing a progressive style of metal that featured relentless guitar riffs instead of chord progressions. The 1st two albums are beloved even by Punk Rockers still today. RIP Paul a true metal legend now and forever!! HORNS-UP!!🤘
