No surprise he's looked like a corpse for years

Re: Paul Di'Anno

He's recently been touring. I'm sure he played the Patriot, Crumlin for a couple of nights a short while ago.

Hasn't he been confined to a wheelchair for a while now, due to back problems, and sang while sitting in that?

Goodness me this is a shock! Killers is a great album!

Time to dig out those first two Maiden albums tonight Sludgey (after the Cardiff City phone on on YouTube, of course), blast 'em out loud and get headbanging.

I think those two and the first two or three after he left were good albums

Dreadful stuff after that

I'm not a fan of Maiden, nor the dreadful (to my ears anyway) NWOBHM. As aside, I had the misfortune to meet Bruce Dickenson once. A rude, obnoxious, arrogant, horrible little man, if ever there was one.

RIP. I saw Iron Maiden at the Top Rank in 1980. Right down the front getting whipped by sweat-soaked hair.

In hindsight, if I had to pick one NWOBHM band to listen to, it would be Saxon.

I bought Sin After Sin in 1977, and liked it a lot, as I felt it was on the heavier side of 'Classic Rock'. A bit like the perpetually underrated Budgie. However, by 1978's Killing Machine, they had turned more or less into a NWOBHM band, so I went right off them. Also, that "leather-and-studs" fashion image, portrayed by Rob Halford, was extremely cringe-worthy as well as his entrances on stage riding a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. As someone who had just bought a Triumph Bonneville at the time, genuine bikers laughed and sneered at the band and Halford in particular. They appeared to have became a band more for the teeny-bopper metal heads, then genuine rock fans

I think Halford was taking the piss out of the macho side of metal

Great twin guitar attack , like lizzy

Budgie had some great riffs but Burke shelley slagged off sabbath so I sold all my albums to the red cross shop

Since when did charity shops pay for anything? It's all free donations surely?
