Coming here to pay my respects to Paul. A true legend in my book. His contribution to Iron Maiden has and always will remain legendary for me. His voice and albums with the band got me to love Maiden to begin with. He may be gone, but he’ll never be forgotten. Rest easy Paul, and thank you for your tributes to the heavy metal landscape of music. Up the irons.

Damn. I remember buying this album in 1980 when my dad was stationed in Germany. I was 14. I remember all the kids coming out of the record store holding up their new Iron Maiden albums as if it was a sacred artifact. I guess they, we, were right. Some of the greatest care free times of my life with the best music. I can’t believe that was 44 years ago. RIP Paul and Clive. A piece of me will always remember the joy you brought to my 14 yr old self. Thanks

For me "Killers" is masterpiece. One of the best albums in history of heavy metal and for me the best Iron Maiden album. Also... each time I see Eddie I can here the voice of Paul Di'Anno. The power, rawness, anger and attitude - The Beast!

[@STORMCombatSystem]

Paul was a powerhouse back then. Aggressive, harsh and angry, the right guy to sing underground, street metal, such as Maiden was playing in the first 2 records, the best music that they ever played in my opinion.

[@ACG7001]

STORM Russian Combat System I agree, their first two albums, and also NoTB and PoM are my favorites. I like all of their 80s work but to me they don’t compare to their earlier stuff.

[@Martsapso21]

And don't forget the most important bit, this is the guy who also sang on Remember Tomorrow and Strange World with the voice of an angel. Very few people are versatile enough to be able to cover both ends of the spectrum and almost everything in between.

[@ryanjsmith1973]

Honestly, his voice can't compare with Bruce's. Paul was an alright vocalist but there's really nothing spectacular about the sound of his voice

[@Martsapso21]

​@@ryanjsmith1973 Well, there is something. Not one single person on this planet can sing like him. I can find you a hundred singers that can more or less do what Bruce does, no one can even come close to Paul. That's the mark of a true great.

[@TheKestevon]

It is hard to find bad songs in their first 2 albums.

[@pepegudino264]

Iron Maiden's rudest voice! Those great classics like "Running free", "Wrathchild", "Phantom of the opera" or "Iron Maiden" in Di'Anno's voice were unbeatable! Rest in peace Paul Di'Anno.

Clive Burr was just an amazing drummer. He fitted so well with this band.

[@The716_]

Nickos great but i always preferred clives style more.

[@Papun-o4s]

He plays straight 16th notes on the hi-hat with one hand!!! that's not a slow tempo.

[@Martsapso21]

How can people say that Paul could never sing? The Rainbow show has some of the best singing anyone ever did. Even when he's not pushing his voice like in this song or Phantom, he still sounds spectacular. And those screams... Brilliant!

[@JohnnyangelNIU]

Dianno was mostly known as (in his prime here) a showman, frontman, and commanding of the stage. His voice was very good, but not Halford or Dio-ish. Years later he would really fall though which is a total shame...

[@Martsapso21]

Paul was a punk singer. I think he could sing like Dio or Halford but I bet he hated the idea of perfect and polished singing. He comes pretty close to that style in his 1984 album though.

[@KTF0]

He preferred to sing in Ian Gillen style. To me was a better version of Ian Gillen, he could hit the high notes but preferred to sound dirtier.

[@gossy351]

Indeed

[@Bravilor]

He has, of course, tons of character in his voice and it's also a pretty big voice. He's in tune. But he's not very technical. His vibrato sounds a bit artificial/forced but it's still on point so to speak. It doesn't seem like he lets his voice resonate optimally. On his solo stuff from 86-87 he sings more professionally. But I think the "total package" from 80-81 beats it.

[@albinopotsangbam]

[@UFO1601]

I was supposed to see Paul in Manchester 2nd November, absolutely gutted he’s passed. Seeing Iron Maiden performing running free live on Top of the Pops with Paul at the helm in 1980, made me a Maiden fan for life. R.I.P. Mr Di’Anno, hope you and Clive are now ripping it up .
