Shame.

I much prefer Maiden with Dickinson at the vocals. I didn't care much for DiAnno's albums because he sounds like 100 other vocalists around at the time. No one quite sounds like Bruce.

KILLERS is their best album, easily; although "Hallowed Be Thy Name" is their greatest song.

That's actually one of my least favorites. It would have been pretty kick ass with Bruce vocals though.

They knew how to cut out the fat in songs back then.

Bruce is a'right, but his weakness is that he's too one-dimensional; too samey-sounding. At least DiAnno knows how to change his voice to fit the needs of the song, which can be observed in his post-Maiden projects, like Killers. Listen, for example, to his work on 1994's MENACE TO SOCIETY (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSoQPKh6Rdk&t=1921s).

I like both off those albums.

RIP 😔

R.I.P. Paul, only 66 ☹. Iron Maiden's first two albums were graced by his punk voice in gems such as "Murders in the Rue Morgue", "Prodigal Son", "Wrathchild", "Running Free"

I remembered seeing him play live in his wheelchair, I thought that was awesome. RIP
