Can't agree more. I love first two Maiden albums. Paul rocks! This was unknown to me,i like it. It would be better without the mullet. The band is pretty good too
Even if I cant imagine the Dickinson-Albums with his voice - I still cant stand Dickinson singing Killers. It just feels like the Thomanerchoir tries singing ""Iron man". Y´know what I mean?
that's the story of many a vocalist (and quite a few guitarist) of every era.. "coulda been one of the best , if only they weren't their own worst enemy".
Easily said afterwards… Ozzy was also a drifter, the music business (or scene) is veeery unpredictable, a lot of luck and record companies hyping is involved, people are sheep, though good music surfaces, but also very epic music doesn’t… i got bands here of world class, but they only made it untill the demo phase… in some countries, you got a huge disadvantage (promotion record companies, …. etc. ….) rock on 🤘
Paulie is on of my top 5 most favorite performers/entertainers. This song is a good example of how there's life after Maiden for this guy and even after all the BS he's still rockin, even if it's from a wheelchair or what have you his need to please people,and he does that, STILL exists!! Rock On!!!
MegaMortician the question is, what about now? Sounding lousy, he arrogantly proclaims, 'I sing metal, not opera' seemingly forgetting how melodic he once was.
Not like the Priest there isn't enough grinding of bones. The Priest sound is a g tune and KK Downing has his guitars wired for maximum treble. Listen to Grinder, Metal Gods basically anything from British Steel
He will never be forgotten. The first 2 maiden classics are 2 of the best hard rock/metal albums ever made and many cite them as their favorite maiden albums. I am not even a big metal fan and they are 2 of my all time favorite albums and it's Paul Diannos punk stylings that make those albums what they are .
Paul was a phenomental talent and Battlezone deserved a lot more recognition. Too bad Hurley wasn't on this album even though it was still quite good. Fighting Back is just an all-time classic.
Paul had talent, but he chose a lifestyle that would forever prohibit him from making it big. The talent was there. But the self-discipline wasn't. It's sad, because he put out great albums both with and outside of Maiden.
@Butt Head Have you ever read his book "The Beast"? He admits openly he sabotaged his own career. Most of it is B.S., but he does have a sense of humour.
@@mark_beastpriest5539 I wanted to read "The Beast" for ages but never found a copy, then last year I managed to find one and, well, it really doesn't do him any favours at all. He comes across as a lot of a twat. Crass, sexist, yobbish and cheap. As someone who absolutely loves his era of Maiden, I kinda wish I hadn't read it.
@@jonnydavies6968 I know what you mean. However, according to Rod Smallwood, over half of it is bullsh*t, trying to capitalize on his image. He contradicts himself at every turn, which shows he's not always in a right state of mind. But those two first Maiden albums were great, but he was a pain in the ass to the band.
Id agree Mark paul was amazing with maiden he had an energy Bruce didn't he sang with more passion his voice powerful he's bar none maidens best frontman the 2 albums he did with maiden are masterpieces Bruce singing old maiden doesn't sound anywhere near as good but as you said he's never truly been stable and that definitely impacted Steve's decision to move on from him i have to say. Bruce took them over the top but Bruce kept his life together all the boys from maiden are cool dudes I heard paul singing running free a few yrs back he sounded good it is what it is but paul was maiden along with clive otherwise there's just no real spark my opinion
There's no questions about. Paul Di Anno was maybe one of the most underrated vocals of the rock &roll history of all times and one of the Best too, Even when for a long periods of time we lose any trace of their works. A great lead singer, the legacy of his voice remains carved in the original tapes of iron maiden' killers.
I agree with you, sometime ago a relative gave to me a DVD of BS with Ozzy...horrible!!!! Couldn't end watching it, boring and Ozzy 's singing is awful. Di Anno 's million times a better singer... but once more, less gifted people get better oportunities...
Iron Maiden e Killers são obras espetaculares do Heavy Metal. Paul Dianno merece todo reconhecimento. Tive a oportunidade de assistir seu show em minha cidade, Curitiba. Depois do show chamou os jovens para tomar umas cervejas no Largo da Ordem, ponto turístico da cidade. Mostrou todo seu respeito com seus fãs. Sou fã desde os anos 80.
Welcome to the Battlezone ! there was a song for that but it's not on RUclips... This was so under promoted that people commenting are hearing this for the first time because of RUclips,, almost 40 years later.. I remember back then nobody had his records.Nobody I knew anyways. No MTV Headbangers ball play nothing..About like the Group TNT.But he was under promoted even worse than TNT here in the USA. Loved The power Metal of the 80's
This is a brilliant song. I used to have the album Children of Madness on record back in the late 80s. I remember there was some good tracks on it. I wish I could have seen this back then. It's a shame Paul has never had the same level of success as Maiden. But from from what he has said in interviews it seems like he never wanted to be hugely famous anyway. He's always seen himself as a punk at heart. This is a great clip.
he had so much talent. If he stayed away from alcohol and drugs and got a vocal teacher to keep his voice in shape, chances are that he would've been bigger than Iron Maiden themselves
This is the best I’ve ever heard from him! Wow! If I’d been played this without knowing who it was I would never have believed it was him! IM we’re doing Somewhere in Time around this era and I can totally hear Paul singing that album based on what I’m hearing here! His image looks good here too! He deserves much more success.
This is Great! Paul is awesome, post Maiden.. this band was probably marketed poorly, never heard much about them back then and they look like just another hair Metal band in the 80's.. Still.. excellent jams and to note.. Cherry Red records, in the UK is releasing a 3 CD set in June of the first 2 albums, plus his later band Killers.. Live in 2000.. Yeah, that's a good score right there.
Saw him at Reggie's rock house Christmas Night, I think 2011, did Maiden's first two albums from start to finish, it's in my top 5 concerts of all time.
É impossivel não pensar que o Dianno e o maior desperdicio de talento do heavy metal, se tivesse a cabeça no lugar e um bom meneger poderia ter cantado em qualquer banda grande apos sua saida do maide. imagina ele como vocalista do megadeth ou do judas priest....
Knockout ! Thanks for posting that.Hidden treasure .Paul sounding topnotch,still really had it back then .It sounds better if not looking at this goofy bunch of Krokus lookers .Great performance Paul ;.expect I'll get to like the songs the more i hear them
Paul was young and healthy here sad how he's fallen so far sad to see him playing in shithole nightclubs today paul you'll Always be my favorite maiden vocalist Bruce love you too🤟🤟🤟🤟👍👍😒
Maybe not healthy, as he was full of drugs, but but. He sings very good here. I love his voice and tone, and he could also reach higher tones, just like Bruce. I love the first album and Killers, and think how great he would sound on Piece of Mind songs, Powerslave and such. Wow!
@@edwardbennett7813 I'm so sad for Paul. I met him locally, when he played pub's a few years ago, he didn't look very good. He couldn't almost walk. Sorry for my English, I'm Scandinavian. Paul actually has a child in Sandnes / Norway.
@@edwardbennett7813 My family members who occasionally listen to Metal music, but are not hard core fans, say to me that the first two Maiden albums are pure gold in terms of songwriting. Because those albums has a Drive and to-the-point music, and they like Paul's vocal sound. These family members, in no harm from me to Bruce in anyway, can't listen to the other records, it doesn't appeal to them. It's very interesting observations. Too sad how Paul ended up were he has ended up. :(
@@rabarebra paul had lots of talent he chose booze drugs and instability if he'd stayed clean he'd been much more successful paul sang with passion it came from the heart he chose a bad lifestyle steve harris gave him many chances to clean up his life if he had it would been him who took maiden to the top not bruce
paul the man dianno. earned respect the hard way. try not to be closed minded all rock and metal has value. have learned this over my years now 50yrs old. was only a teenager when this sound was out there in the ether.
Ironically, this has a touch of Samson’s sound about it. I can definitely hear him singing the Number Of The Beast, Piece Of Mind and Powerslave albums and doing a great job if he’d not f**ked it all up.
Very good. I wish I would have heard them back in 1987 but they just didn’t make it that big. So much competition in metal back then. Metallica, Motörhead, Judas Priest, Megadeth, and of course Maiden.
Ja ja ja ya tenia un buen rato q no lo escuchaba asi este no era su estilo pero si era agradable tipo estilo Judas apriest en los proximos discos despues del Turbo Love
For me he’s always been the best Punky Metal singer 👨🎤. And the 2 first albums with Maiden was the best ever! Love you Paul.
Can't agree more. I love first two Maiden albums. Paul rocks! This was unknown to me,i like it. It would be better without the mullet. The band is pretty good too
You are so damn right, mate!!! Cheers
Even if I cant imagine the Dickinson-Albums with his voice - I still cant stand Dickinson singing Killers. It just feels like the Thomanerchoir tries singing ""Iron man". Y´know what I mean?
I totally agree. I love the rawness of the early stuff. And Paul is the man.
Agree big time. Those first two maiden albums are classics.
His voice sounds phenomenal at this time
DiAnno could have been one of the biggest vocalists of the 80s if he could have ever gotten out of his own damn way.
that's the story of many a vocalist (and quite a few guitarist) of every era.. "coulda been one of the best , if only they weren't their own worst enemy".

Not even close.
Come on now. They were so many many way better.
Paulie is on of my top 5 most favorite performers/entertainers. This song is a good example of how there's life after Maiden for this guy and even after all the BS he's still rockin, even if it's from a wheelchair or what have you his need to please people,and he does that, STILL exists!! Rock On!!!
Why couldn't the bassist role with him?
Di'anno .. Di'anno .. What a vocalist he was... Amazing
For a punk that doesn’t like doing heavy metal he does a serious lot of heavy metal.
And he made at least 3 groove metal albums.
@@ГлэмМеталлист wtf is groove metal???
Actually this is quality hard rock
I literally think he enjoyed saying that because he knew the Maiden guys didn't like punk music. Typical Paul.
@@tomdurkin5149He always was a bit of a wind-up merchant. Just look at the "Arse of Glass" story
.. a little Rob Halford..a little Geoff Tate..a lot of Paul! Great..🤩
It sounds like Judas Priest +Queensrÿche.
Tokyo Blade
He also kinda looks and sounds like Andy Deris here! He had so much potential, it's so sad he didn't have the career that he worthed.

Siempre lo he considerado un gran cantante, de hecho Killers es uno de mis discos favoritos.
Great performance by Paul, Awesome voice and incredible band.
As pessoas devem ser celebradas ainda em vida, melhoras para o grande Paul Di'Anno.
baita vocalista!
Legendary Paul , total respect

@@adamwatson6916 That's very cool. I too am a very selective and part time metal fan. But my channel is partly a tribute to Di'anno and other gods.
Look at that. He actually got better after his Maiden years. He's even developed some kind of a Goeff Tate touch to his voice.
Exactly !!!!
Lipsync
That's exactly what I think of his solo stuff. Very very Geoff Tate. That's the best comparison I can come up with.

@@edwardbennett7813 No, he wasn't.
Favorite and best are two different things. Paul was a lazy slob.

This was the period during which Paul Di'anno briefly transformed into Jim Belushi
Unbelievable to see this and see nowadays how life can change a person unbelievable
Such a great yet wasted talent. It hurts to see what happened to him
Wishing you good health, Paul. Keep rockin'

I'd forgotten just how good Paul was at this time in his career.
he had so much talent. If he stayed away from alcohol and drugs and got a vocal teacher to keep his voice in shape, chances are that he would've been bigger than Iron Maiden themselves
Well, funny you say that because those first two Maiden albums say it all really!!! They are by far the best by any means!!! 😎👌🏻🙏🏻💥
WRONG! 😂
It would have been extremely interesting to have heard Di'Anno with a prog metal band after his own band. Loved the Di'Anno band.
look up Gog Magog
GRACIAS A PAUL MAIDEN SE HICIERON CONOCIDOS Y FAMOSOS MUNDIALMENTE...
Y viceversa...
This is the best I’ve ever heard from him! Wow! If I’d been played this without knowing who it was I would never have believed it was him! IM we’re doing Somewhere in Time around this era and I can totally hear Paul singing that album based on what I’m hearing here! His image looks good here too! He deserves much more success.
I have felt that a lot too. When Bruce got burned out they could have brought Paul in for at least that one.
Geoff Tate' s double. Now both bald😂

Pues muchas gracias. No tenía ni idea de que esto hubiera salido en tve.
Simplemente genial Paul Di'anno
Nice to see some Battlezone, wish there was more live stuff from them
As Steve Harris says onde day, about departure of Paul Dianno from Iron Maiden! He have talent! But at that in time in Maiden he's lost their way!
He has talent
@Philip Holmes Booze
This must be the best Dianno Ive heard!
Esa etapa de paul dianno con batlezone para mi es la mejor grabaron 2 albumes
Escucha su disco solista "Dianno", es buenísimo
Saw him at Reggie's rock house Christmas Night, I think 2011, did Maiden's first two albums from start to finish, it's in my top 5 concerts of all time.
Paul Di Anno cantava muito!
É impossivel não pensar que o Dianno e o maior desperdicio de talento do heavy metal, se tivesse a cabeça no lugar e um bom meneger poderia ter cantado em qualquer banda grande apos sua saida do maide.

He sounds great.

Se ele não tivesse estragado tudo, não existiriam esses álbuns.
buena voz, era para q cante una del Killers como un bonus sorpresa
