Shout out to our Patron Raven for this Totally awesome request!
In this video I react to 2 songs by former Iron Maiden frontman, Paul Di'Anno.
This is my very first time discovering him and I was not disappointed. This guy is good. I really enjoyed the over all feel I got from listening to Older Maiden. There was a certain element in this area that I did not get from Bruce Dickenson's Maiden.
Remember Tomorrow is one of my all-time favourites. Paul was one hell of a singer, it's a shame drugs and health problems took a big toll on him and he never realized his full potential.
"Remember tomorrow" was the track that got me hooked on them. Still blast it constantly (I'm 51 years old now, an old fart!) and it takes me right back to my youth!
Yeah,if that's what really happened?
You should listen paul dianno battlezone albums also for begin that after maiden his vocal skill increased a lot compared to maiden.
Also he took the other route while developping many facetts = while maiden began operatic clean vocals and dilued harmonies Paul was heavier and heavier
Also the fact of him being an Ahole that has serious anti social behavioural issues
Strange world makes me cry for some reason. :'(
The great, late Clive Burr on drums. That guy knew groove.
I think strange world is one of their greatest songs, guitars, bass, vocal, drums, its just the best.
The first two Iron Maiden albums will forever be my favorites.
Very much agreed. It all changed negatively for me when Dickinson came. Iron Maiden's music took on a completely different vibe with him as the lead vocalist.
Same!
You nailed it! Paul Di'anno is soul. He's real emotion. Bruce is great, too. But Bruce is more of a performer. Paul Di'anno is the real deal. I love your point on Bruce teaching history, and you didn't learn shit from Paul... but you felt it. Paul Di'anno is something you live by. Bruce is something you learn by.... you can't beat feel. Paul is the best.
I'm just finding out about these first two albums and going crazy over it, It was Bruce that prevented me from liking the band. Dude they were so revolutionary with these first 2 albums. Can hear Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Punk, Ozzy, everything that came before that would come after, this is beyond good. WTF I was missing out on a lot here
@@osmankovacevic6135 yes! Glad you discovered these gems. You're exactly right. The attitude on these albums is so raw and explosive. No knock to Bruce's Maiden vox, but it's a little too theatrical for me.
Well you learn things from Charlotte the Harlot 🤣
Joke aside, Remember Tomorow tells a great story.
Especially when you know the backstory of it
Dude. "Running Free" and "Killers". Paul is criminally underated. Bruce is still the king, but that dirty punk like sound of those first 2 Maiden albums with Paul's voice tieing it together, they need more credit.
Well put!
Paul is iron maiden. Bruce is a replacement.
@@Marshall_EL34 I'm willing to admit a superior replacement. Paul is great and underrated, but he does not top Bruce.
There were a lot great NWOBH bands at that time and I believe what made Maiden to stand out from the crowd was their raw in-your-face sound for which they needed Paul for the first two albums.
I think in 1980-82 Bruce's "Ian Gillan" style was not fresh enough to break through with Samson while Paul's raw and still melodic style was unique and brought attention to Maiden. And I think the same if we compare Clive and Niko :)
Strange World is my favourite maiden song of all time.
It's just amazing.
I think Strange World is one of my all time favorite Iron Maiden songs! Check out "Prodigal Son", another "different" Maiden song from the "Killers" album with Di'Anno on vocals
Strange World and Prodigal Son are magical songs for me
Yup strange world is an amazing song especially when you smoke
Agreed! These type of songs gave Maiden so much more depth.
Paul and Dennis Stratton are two big reasons why the first two albums are so amazing and unique. Dennis was the "guitar boss" on those albums, he played on the first and did all pre-production on the second, which Adrian had to play like him. Without Dennis (and Paul), those albums could never be recreated...and they haven't come close. Maiden has created some awesome, amazing songs since the first two albums, but the first two albums are very special.
Clive was also a crucial element
So glad you did Strange World, a very underrated song!
The sound of Paul is pretty essential to Iron Maiden.
So nice to see a reaction from legendary Paul's era. He has great voice in many ways and has influenced so many vocalist out there, most notably Phil Anselmo of Pantera.
Even in attitude they re the same few years a part 😂.
Didn't know you hadn't heard Di'anno era songs, dude was a great vocalist, Killers is one of the best metal albums of all time! Definitely go back and check out the rest of Iron Maiden and Killers, still some of their best songs. Guitarist Dave Murray is the only other member who has been in the band with Harris since the first album, they had a lineup change on every album until Piece of Mind to Seventh Son.
i used to love the oww owww at the end of the song . miss it
the song was not over yet !!
Much as I love Bruce Dickinson! I still prefer the first two albums with Paul Di'Anno. His voice is rawer and the music is just more to my liking! But Bruce is great too of course!
This was a slow one of course but the album rocks out and this song doesn't show the raw side of his voice!
@@darrencooke4207 link me bro! Im down for this older maiden journey!
Me too.
First album was punk. ( except Remember Tomorrow is a ballad sort of)
Killers was metal at its best.
Try their single Sanctuary or Running Free. Most of the live videos from his era have pretty poor picture quality from the age of cheap video tape!
This one is pretty good quality! czcams.com/video/iM2Q_8CPLno/video.html
Love Bruce and love Paul. Just different. Same with the drummers...Clive Burr originally before Nicko McBrain. Both great styles just different and it all works.
Clive had more swing Nivko has more drive
"Killers," "Wrathchild," "Murders In The Rue Morgue," "Phantom Of The Opera." These are far more representative of the Maiden/Di'Anno sound.
You missed "Prowler"
I think strange world and remember tomorrow have also a great place in Di'Anno era . Remember was written by Di'Anno
Can't go wrong with any of these🤘🤘🤘🤘
@@matiasdimter619 Yess🤘🤘🤘.. Prowler fkn kills🔥🔥
Prowler, fucking rocks.
Actually Paul Dianno was their first record deal singer.... They had 2 singers before him, and the first, Paul Day, is actually the one who wrote "Strange World"...!! (That's why it sounds so different from the rest of their material)
Sounds very Catch the rainbow
@@Nissardpertugiu lol catch the rainbow sounds very Hendrix.... Which Dave Murray from Maiden was a huge fan, so I'm sure there's some same inspiration with the 2 songs
@@ryananthony4840 and Led Zeppelin too!
Huh? Everything I have read says Steve Harris wrote "Strange World."
@@Nissardpertugiu Do you mean the song by Rainbow? If so, then yes, absolutely.
I'm an old metalhead, I've seen Maiden close on 30 times over the years, although I respect the hell outta Bruce & all his work, the first 2 albums are my faves by a mile. That great raw post punk sound. Please check out Phantom of the Opera, Murders in the Rue Morgue, Weatchild, Charlotte The Harlot
Charlotte is written by Dave Murray, the guitarist who looks like a hamster that's just thought of a really dirty joke.
I got to agree with you on that
👍🏼
As much as I love Bruce Dickinson, I was blown away when I bought 'Killers' at the record store, mostly because of the cover, took it home and listened to it. There's no doubt that Bruce Dickinson (formerly of a band called 'Sampson') is a more polished showman and arguably has a technically better voice, but DiAnno has raw aggression and atmosphere. To me, it was a disappointment we didn't get another album from him. I'll always prefer, slightly, the Dianno years of Maiden
Me too!
same heat too mate.@@SOHEILSORKHEH
Strange World is one of the best metal "ballads" ever.
Remember Tomorrow is okay, I just don't care for the heavy parts in between the mellow as much.
I love your reaction, it’s so cool to hear your words and appreciation for the lyrics/emotional feel. Keep up the great work!! Up The Irons 🖤
The Remember Tomorrow version you watched was probably a tv spot or whatever which they performed over a playbacked studio album version. So, what you've listened is not live.
@Rigling Stephan Sorry my friend, but it's clearly the album version if you can hear it and compare. Maybe they did other live performances on tv or even this was originally a live performance but someone overdubbed it for the video, I don't know. However, what you hear watching this is ABSOLUTELY the album version. Also, there're instances Paul's mouth doesn't fit with the recorded singing.
I am so happy you reacted to these songs back to back as they are my they are my 2 favorite songs, and i have waited so long to hear someone to react to either of them,, what a great surprise to have you do them both. I was so afraid they would get lost and forgotten to the next generation. it won my scribe especially if you are going to do songs like this that are not in the mainstream algorithms,, Thank You so much and GODBless!!!!!
After this, (before the Killers band), Paul was in a band called Battlezone with one of my favourite drummers Sid Falck who joined Overkill after that. Great singer.
Love the song "I Don't Wanna Know".
Children of Madness is my favorite Battlezone song
Battlezone's first album has some of the greatest vocals ever recorded. Too bad Paul started to go all out heavy metal after it and lost his more classic rock feel that made him so special.
same album: Phantom of the Opera, Prowler, Remember Tomorrow, Charlotte The Harlot
This is the first time I've ever seen a black man lisen to maiden and let me tell you its a beautiful thing he really feels its .makes me happy all over again like i just herd it 4 the first time .ps dnt bite your lips off brother .much love 💜💙
When it comes to Maiden I'm old school, really love their first two albums (plus EP's and singles). Love the punky and aggressive style. You picked the two softest songs :) but I love them anyway!
Being 15 years old, and hearing this for the first time on a boom box, hanging out in an abandoned field with some friends, I’ve never forgotten that day...a piece of my youth.
Hell of a combo to introduce you to Maiden.
These songs are pretty obscure but I personally love them.
Strange World is a song I think about whenever someone dismisses Maiden as just noise. Its gorgeous!
First of all, the new camera and mic are incredible! Love it!
Now, these songs feature Steve Harris and Dave Murray, the only two that have been there from the first. Dennis Straton was on guitar and Clive Burr on drums. This is the seminal Maiden. If you listen to songs like "Running Free" or "Murders in the Rue Morgue," you'll hear the punkiness in Paul's voice. While always rather progressive, the narrative seems to be that Harris wanted to continue in a straightforward metal vein. However, when Di'Anno was fired for drug use, Bruce Dickenson came on board, and his creative bent led them in a more theatrical direction. (Steve tried to strip back down to basics with "No Prayer for the Dying" after "Seventh Son," but it met with very mixed results. Among my own contemporaries, "No Prayer" was a bomb.)
I strongly suggest a few tracks from "Killers." In fact, "Killer" is a good song for that. You can feel how the addition of Adrian Smith evolved the band, and you can start to bridge the gap into "Number of the Beast."
You can also see some latter-day Paul Di'Anno stuff in a couple of his bands, "Battlezone" and "Praying Mantis." He has also released solo albums. (Can't tell you if they're good or bad; I was never interested.)
Thank you for this and thank you for that Overkill request! It caught me off guard.
I wasn’t a huge fan of Prayer initially but I will say it aged well, it’s an underrated album. The energy on it is phenomenal as is the playing. It turned out to be one of my favorites just due to its stripped down approach...
You nailed it.. the emotion is all over these early work. My favorite album.
Strange world one of many IM songs on my repeatplay list.... hours on end when i am doing academic journal text editing work.... fan since 1981 off of this album artwork on cassette and immediately hooked on their music ever since... saw them 2016 in cape town! ...felt like my life was then complete, but one can never get too much IM
I thanked you prematurely, I sang along, you brought me back, man you are topps!
This song reminds me of why I started playing the guitar over 30 years ago. Thanx Maiden.
I love this song - Dianno was proper NWOBHM singer - I was 15 when this was released, saw them live and I was hooked! Cheers mate!
Thank you for having an open mind. Paul DiAnno, what a voice indeed. Soul...
Paul Diannos singing and Clive Burrs drumming blows Bruce Dickinson and Nicko Mcbrain totally right out of the musical water...
Being a old Bastard I have the priviledge of owning both the Iron Maiden and Killers albums before hearing Bruce with Maiden. So i had no problems with his vocals as many who heard Bruce 1st and then went back and re-visited the Paul records. I bought everything I could get my hands on from maiden back then including all of the 12 inch singles they released with Paul. The great B side songs and live tracks that didn't make it to Maiden Japan were awesome . All of the great album art was part of the maiden experience.
the album art was a huge part of the experience. Derek Riggs created some amazing covers for Maiden's albums and me and my mates used to see who could find the cat first when listening to the album for the first time
My first experience with Maiden was the number of the beast, but I prefer D'anno over Bruce. Bruce can hit the high notes, but Paul imo had much more range as a singer.
@@Krankster666 yeah, Di'Anno's voice could go from soft vocals to raucus in a beat and he could still hit pretty high notes and hold them (although not as long as Bruce)
iron maiden's first two albums are amazing, the album Killers is an all time fav for me. if you want to see them live from this period, check out "live at the rainbow" from 1980. it has the song Killers on it before the album was released, it has different lyrics so still a work in progress, hehe. loved the reaction, tnx...
I listened to Bruce's albums first like Powerslave and Number of the Beast before listening to Di'Anno's songs. Once I listened to tracks like Sanctuary and Phantom of the Opera, I fell in love with early era Maiden with their raw energy and unique punk edge. Their first two albums are among the finest in heavy metal history.
Di'Anno's solo stuff is great too, I'd recommend his album Murder One, tracks like The Beast Arises and Dream Keeper show what he was really capable of in his post Maiden years. His albums with Battlezone and Praying Mantis are worth a listen too!
T. you have to go back to the beginning, Maiden had such a raw feel a little punky vibe to them.
Fortunate we have also that Di'Anno era! Also would like to mention drummer Clive Burr, so young and still precise and skillful to give something to stand out among other great bands that time.
Finally someone who reacts to these awesome Iron Maiden's songs !!!!
These songs are among my favorites from that era BUT if you want to check out THE SONG (at least in my opinion) that shows a legendary band coming to life from their early era with Paul Dianno, you should definitely try *Phantom Of The Opera.* That's the great ancestor of their long epics. Still different from their later Bruce era songs but you can feel it's Iron Maiden.
My mother told me that at the time iron maiden made their 2nd album killers, they were still doing gigs at the Ruskin arms pub at East Ham in East London and she knew Steve Harris. And he gave her the killers album to tell him what she thought. Still got the record to this day
Thanks for this post,, no one imo can do Di Anno maiden songs like him,,glad i was there first time around and still have my vinyls.Bless you sir for this post.. be well 🙏👍
Don't get me wrong I love Bruce but welcome to the Paul era! First 2 albums are still my favorite from Maiden and Strange World is an all time special song for me. Those dueling guitars, powerful bass, Paul's soul bleeding out those lyrics. Perfection
Paul is the best , great stage presence when these guys are together, I'm soo glad u liked him too !
This was a privilege to watch brother. You can't imagine how much this mirrors my experience of Iron Maiden. The Paul DiAnno version of this band was largely a back catalogue experience for me. With the exception of a few tunes someone else's mix tape, it was all new to me pre-Number of the Beast. Don't get me wrong, I love Judas Priest but most bands were not given the time to evolve like they did. Maiden? Right out of the bloody box \m/
Your next video MUST be ‘Phantom of the Opera ‘ live 1980.
Big fan live your reactions!
czcams.com/video/t5jaRipA5_M/video.html
New Man in Christ Ministries I remember they played that song twice that night
How did I miss this?
It's about time someone did Di'Anno era Maiden. So many great tracks to get through but 'Phantom of the Opera' is a must. Studio version first and then the 'Live at the Rainbow' version.
Paul has a great voice and you should check out his performance of 'Silent Night' live from about 15 years ago. It's on CZcams somewhere.
Edit: Also to see this version of Maiden in it's rawest glory check out Iron Maiden at Ruskin Arms 1980
Remember Tomorrow and strange World are my favourites off this album.. I like your reaction when the vocals come in on Strange World.. it really does evoke emotion..
at that time, they were flawless, vocals and instrumentals were spot on.
Imagine 8 year old kid in 1985 first time listening Killers and Iron Maiden albums. No other album got me like those, i did not even understood english then, but i felt huge emotions in those two albums. STILL
Paul is emo
Bruce is pro singer and show man PERIOD
Happy weekend. Thanks for sharing.
When you said this is deep. This is really deep. You're on the same level as me. The same plain. I love it, man. This is classic Maiden, and classic 80's stoner metal at it's best. I loved your review. Thanks, man. 💕👍
Go back to the beginning! Paul kicks ass! U just heard the 2 slower paced songs but they are great too
I remember back when I was a kid I would listen to iron maiden songs with Bruce but after discovering the first two albums Paul became my favorite and I listen to those albums Killers and Iron maiden the most.
Di'anno was amazing on those first two records, which are both superb. Two great tunes here, two more I would check from them that are more up tempo are 'Phantom of the Opera' and 'Murders in the Rue Morgue'
They are so melodic!
Always enjoy your reactions brother Paul Di Anno is favorite all time for me is masterpiece greetings from greece!!
My favourite Maiden album followed by Killers, that era with Paul was something special and unique and Paul at his best was easily as good as anyone else ;)
all three of their vocalists our outstanding
It’s sad he’s so overlooked (not by us early days fans). I love Bruce Dickinson, but I grew up listening to the bands albums in order and loved Paul on these first two absolute classic maiden albums. You are correct Paul and Dave had such a different style but both so good in this band. I honestly think I like every song front to back on the first two albums.
many dickinson albums have some stuff that's close to just being filller or just don't what the "wow" factor. they're decent songs. but the Di'Anno stuff is awesome all the way through. too bad there's too little of it.
Glad you're enjoying Maiden! Love these vids. Keep it up!
Phantom of the Opera is a must listen. Still one of the greatest Maiden tracks. Also, check out Killers and Murders in the Rue Morgue. There are many more by Dianno that are awesome.
Great reaction.... reminded me EXACTLY how I reacted 40yrs ago. You really can’t go wrong with Maiden, they’re their own genre and nobody can touch them... nobody... up the Irons
You have to check the full version of Remember Tomorrow. I suggest Drifter by Maiden from the Killers album with Paul Di'Anno too.
Great reaction, good songs, but i recomends you to listen the best Diano era album, Killers, my suggestion is the song Wratchild. The album Killers is one of the best in their catalogue.
At the time of this, it was Paul, Steve Harris, Dave Murray (Longer haired guitarist), Adrian Smith (Other guitarist), and Clive Burr on drums. Clive would last until 1982's Number of the Beast, then be replaced; Tragically, he later died of from complications due to MS.
FYI Metellica does a pretty cool cover of "Remember Tomorrow"
Memory lane. React to Iron Maiden Killers live. This is old school
Strange World its the first slow song i ever loved when i was a kid and i still dont be tired to listen it and the dianno era are my favorite period of the band
Paul Dianno was Awesome. the perfect singer for the first two albums, but I'd always go Bruce over Paul.
When bruce left Maiden he did two phenomenal Solo albums, Accident of birth and the majestic, and I mean epic "The Chemical wedding" Bruce's Solo albums blew Maidens Blaze era albums out of the water. Was so glad bruce rejoined MAIDEN. On a side note, Paul Dianno has had a hard knock life, great singers definitely a character.
YES!! Thank you Strange World is my favorite song.
1st one, i think '81...what a mindblower when this came out...i always loved paul's rawness...although i live bruce too...but the first 2 records were the best
I think lunar eclipse got it right when he stated that Paul DiAnno was the kind of british punk band sound Maiden was shooting for in 1975-80, but by the early 80's they needed a singer that could catapult them to a worldwide audience. So when they opened up for a band called Sampson, they heard Bruce singing for them, & his operatic range. Well the rest is history.
You are so hilarious I'm subscribing thank you for this video 🙏🏻
In case it hasn’t been said in the comments yet... Dave Murray is the guitarist on the left. Adrian Smith is the guitarist on the right. Murray has been on all albums. Smith came in right after the debut was released and left in 1990 and was replaced by Janick Gers. Smith rejoined with Dickinson in 1999 and since then they’ve had 3 guitarists. The drummer on this video was Clive Burr. He was on the first 3 albums and left after The Number of the Beast. He was replaced by Nicko McBrain who has been the drummer ever since. I hope that helps.
There are a few great documentaries on CZcams about Iron Maiden from there early days to now. Documents the changes of band members and is funking awesome to watch.
You picked the two perfect songs for Dianno Maiden. Phantom, Charlotte, Sanctuary, would be good for Paul.
Hey T ! ! Check out these 2 early Iron Maiden songs with Paul D'anno on vocals.
Running Free from 1980 & Wrathchild from 1981
Fairly new to the channel although I’ve watched many of your reaction videos especially Jinjer whom I believe is one of the best new hard rock/ heavy metal bands going right now. But Iron Maiden is my all time favorite band and scrolljng through the reactions I haven’t seen you do “ fear of the dark” live from rock in rio. This is hands down one of the best live videos of all time both in their performance and the crowd reactions. Gives me chills every time I hear it please I hope you will react to this.
I love Jinjer and this Maiden journey is incredible. These guys are so fuckin talented!
You're doing great man, keep on!!!
The dynamics change dramatically one performer to another.
The flanger in Strange World is amazing!!!!
Strange World has an abnormaly deep meaning ... My top Maiden song
Amazing songs, just amazing !!!!!!
iron maiden...such a band..forever in my heart
So so so so GREAT SONGS, So so so so GREAT VOICE !!!!!! 🥰
"Charlotte The Harlot" and Follow up with "22 Acacia Avenue" hehe!
Because of Bruce, Maiden were able to grow, creating different styles, lyrics, technics...different sounds and tempo...and still sounds typical Maiden like...all those years...you hear it and say..yeah, thats Maiden....because of the genious lyrics and sound of Mr.Steve Harris....and the colour of Bruce's amazing voice..
Prowler,Purgatory,Phantom Of The Opera,Charlotte The Harlot,Ides Of March,Wrathchild,Killers,Another Life,Murders In The Rue Morgue,Transylvania,Genghis Khan,plenty of great songs from the first two Maiden albums with Dianno on vocals
Yeah man, that was cut off at the end for some reason.
This was a great pair of songs to do back to back.
I love Bruce but the first two Maiden albums are my favorite. So much feeling in the music. Miss you Clive 😢
FINALLY something from the early albums yesssss!!!
I LISTENED TO THIS SONG AT 14 YEARS OLD, AND I CONFESS THAT IT IS AN EMBLEMATIC SONG, OUTSIDE THE IRON MAIDEN STANDARD THAT I HAD ALREADY LISTENED TO PREVIOUSLY.
I love this song and also that era of maiden
