What’s wrong with being sexy?
Yes, I know. But it's the best live version of Killers
It's widely accepted that Dickinson took them to the next level but the initial problems were Dianno partying too hard and some gigs were cancelled.
It certainly is .
Not just because we are playing tribute to Paul but I actually prefer his version from the live at the Rainbow gig
Back in the day when an album cover alone from any musical genre could grab your attention even before you heard the music. An art form largely lost in the era of CDs and and then streaming
For the London stadium gig next June I think a little ' pilgrimage ' to the Cart and Horses is long overdueIncredibly sad news, especially with the band's 50th Anniversary coming up next year. Have no doubt he'll be celebrated at those shows in some way.
Was in London the same day he was doing a signing event at the Cart & Horses (the pub Maiden played their first show at) on August Bank Holiday weekend. In hindsight, wish I'd gone along to that.
Rest In Peace, Paul
Interesting that people have quite different favourite albums and periods. Some prefer the Di'Anno period, some the 'classic' era of Number of the Beast through to Somewhere in Time (some are not keen on the last two albums of this era) and you prefer Brave New World, Dance of Death, and A Matter of Life and Death. I read a Kerrang article a few years ago which listed Seventh Son as the reader's favourite. A great album but personally I was surprised to see it top the list. A sign of a good band that so many eras can appeal.
I really became aware of Maiden as a kid with Powerslave, which I adored and still do. I definitely bought No Prayer for the Dying when it came out in 1990, but I think it – and the band – got a bit lost to me during the whole grunge and indie era. Was reintroduced when someone got me a best of CD that had a couple of Brave New World tracks on it. Had a bit of catching up to do and just loved the sound of the second Bruce era. Such a fantastic band.
