What the hell is he actually doing into that microphone? It's comical.

OK (sound of cd changer closing to play Maiden). Is he insinuating that Bruce is gay? I bet D'anno's sucked a few stiff ones for some coke in his life. What a fat waste of stage space. It looks like the friggin bouncer is on stage singing.

The only Maiden's albums I can listen is the ones sung by Di'anno... Iron maiden sucks and Dickinson is the worst and/of gayest vocalist ever!!by the way I'm not a Di'annon fan at all.. I don't know his music now...

agree 100%.

Opera too easy? hahahahah
sure buddy

I prefer the first two Maiden albums with Di'anno but he lost his voice..

Sounds like Borat.

I like the records with Dianno on them the most but if he's insinuating Bruce is a homo coz he sings in an operatic style and he calls it "too easy" he's on some fierce drugs... Let me see you hit an E5 in full voice Paul.. then come and talk shit

yup. that first IM album is their best. he is totally cool and maiden became pretentious wankers. especially that opera singer now being a CEO cunt

Bruce is laughing right now from his 100,000 square feet mansion that is made of unicorn bones.

bruce dickinson is gay? who knew?

i agree with him for getting pissed off, calling a style of singing gay is kind of a stupid move though. If i was trying to perform and was being harrassed by some asshole i would have flown off the handle myself. Dianno may be a shell of his former self but the guy still deserves respect. The first 2 albums are classics in their own right.

He's got a point. Why go to see Bruce Di'anno's solo band and ask for Bruce. Its not like he's using the name Iron Maiden.

HAHAHA! I put Bruce Di'anno instead of Paul.... jesus....

paul looks to be in great shape.

Yeah, I'm a fan of both singer's material with Maiden (probably moreso the Di'Anno stuff) but honestly if that dude was at a Di'Anno solo show shouting Bruce the whole time, chances are he wanted a reaction and he got what he deserved.

Iron Maiden fans lack maturity.

OK, great advice Paul.

That video is fucking funny. Is he playing at a Chuck-E-Cheese? What a shithole venue. I have seen karaoke bars with a bigger stage.

TWO TRUTHS:

1) "Killers" is one of the finest heavy metal albums ever made.

2) Paul Di'Anno has become a fat tub of shit.

Best album the band has ever done followed closely by Iron Maiden

I dont know why everyone says that, they are by far not the best maiden albums.

I think Powerslave is there best, with Killers second. Everyone has their opinion.

Paul had every right to bitch him out.

It was disrespectful. Dianno should have smashed him.

What a dick,why go to a Di'anni show and do that shit? Good of Paul for calling him out!

much ado about nothing. Paul's just displaying the typical british attitude. I'm sure Bruce is laughing his ass off.

--> OK, one of the fans kept calling out "Bruce Dickinson". So what? Why get so goddamn aggravated? Please show some respect for Bruce too, he's not considered one of the greatest vocalists for nothing. He's still the vocalist of Iron Maiden and you are not - your attitude speaks volumes why. And he pilots the whole band and crew and the fucking main gear across the world while you are just a punk with a big mouth and a taste for illegally obtained social benefits.

"Run to the hills…' That's too fucking easy, and I'm not gay. This is punk. If you like Bruce Dickinson, go home and listen to his records."

--> Yeah, so why don't you try it if it's so fucking easy? It's easy and viable for singers like Bruce, but nothing on this earth could help you singing that song with a respectable level.

--> Throwing a stab like that against that song and Bruce just made you the biggest clown in the business. Labeling that song and Bruce as gay (with your sense of vileness behind it all) is just fucking hideous. Where did you get your homophobia anyway? From the prison? Remember that Bruce and the songs from his era are not guilty to your problems.

"This is real punk, man. This is what made IRON MAIDEN. Not the money-making machine."

--> Early Iron Maiden is not punk, no matter how hard you try to twist it so. You are the punk here!!! Please remember that Steve has been adamant that punk was not even an influence to Iron Maiden. I could make a long list of Steve's influences here, but as you can't understand those bands and don't even care, so I won't bother. Of course, the first 2 albums are just what they are - the beginning. No-one is trying to decry their worth, Iron Maiden is still playing songs from those albums. But what really made Iron Maiden, the HEAVY METAL GIANT that it is today, has been created after your miserable boozed ass was kicked out 31 years ago.

--> Good luck playing those Eastern European shitholes! Look up in the sky...you might spot Ed Force One.

Bruce is the only member of a band I like that I dislike... if that makes sense. I would hate to meet him.

Best Maiden albums, self titled, killers, powerslave and seventh son.

Makes sense. Great frontman, but a real prick as a person.

Sad But True.
Next contender would be Mustaine, though I don't dislike him, just think he's a bit of an ass.

This video is funny. The dude who did that was probably a loser looking for attention.

grandmas Social security checks or this fat drug addict will steal them.

This is like that homeless from Happy Gilmore shouting "JACKAAAAASS!" every time Happy tries to shag a ball. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbjvIdGFGIQ

I can't blame Paul for getting angry. Paul has been treated like second best to Bruce forever.

Of the Maiden vocalists I prefer Bruce, but the records with Paul are timeless and Pauls vocals are a big part of that.

It would be funny if someone called out for Dianno. Blaze would be lost for words then.

The X factor was a poor record ... because of the writing, not the singing.

Oh, fucked up there - I thought it was about Blaze Bayley - my mistake.

I love Paul to bits. He's the real deal, HE comes from the streets, HE sings about real life experiences and from the bottom of his heart. Who cares if his vocals are imperfect from time to time, his tone is and always will be simply amazing. He doesn't take shit from noone and rightly so. I love how the idiot who was shouting "Bruce Dickinson" changes his tune to "I'm sorry" and "No, no, please...", typical coward you find at every gig. Long live Paul, Punk and Old-School Heavy Metal.

Bruce is known to bitch out fans for much lesser offenses.

I support him for attacking the douche in the audience, but he said some dumb shit in the process. And don't tell Steve that Maiden was punk or punk influenced, he detests punk.

DOWN THE IRONS!

he doesn't mean gay like dick in mouth gay, he means lame, like the kids mean when they say "gay."

and if this asswipe goes to a Di'Anno show shouting "Bruce" he's a lame-ass fuck with no life.

don't like a band, don't go to the show.

and, in principle, i agree with Paul about punk vs. operatic:

it's easy to be an operatic singer in the sense that there's a million guys who do it and sound the same.

to have voice with CHARACTER, like Paul's on the first two brilliant Maiden albums, that's rare.

i will take character and uniqueness over powerful vibrato any day.

i love the best of Bruce's work but Paul's voice on the first two albums is like none other in the history of metal.

flame if you like, it's the truth.

I wonder if he sang Phantom Of The Opera after the tirade.

I agree with Lumps on the best Maiden albums.

That being said, Dickinson blows this turd out of the water in almost every way. This guy goes to jail for some kind of unemployment/welfare fraud, and now he's acting like he's tough as nails and has this "I'll kick your ass" attitude because he went to jail and he's so punk-rock?! Give me a break.

Bruce has more intelligence, class, and is a better songwriter than Paul.

did a cool , original , great vocal capabilities singer turn into this fat ass clown arguing with a drunk ukrainian? Just sad and pathetic. With that being said, LOVE KILLERS and IRON MAIDEN.

What is Al Atkins complaining about now?

Good for Paul for calling out that idiot during the show! Was the right thing to do.

Halford was gay?

I am sure he does. Rob is always happy

He pisses you off, on your stage.

You have the right to tell him fuck off!!

Blaze n Diánno downunder.

8 Dec Kings Arms

\m/

Bruce dosen't like fans pot smokin at his shows, might damage his voice...................

Fuck power metal! PUNK is the shit!!

Who cares about what he was sent to jail for? The facts are that those first 2 albums are stone cold classics, in large part due to Paul's vocal wizardry. I don't really have one favorite album from them, but if I had to choose, the self titled and Killers would be 2 of the choices. And i'm not gay.

so that's what Cthulhu looks like without it's tentacles

Di'Anno is shaking and looking for a reason to curse out a paying member of the audience. The audience seemed unhappy.

The guy has a heavy accent and is so nervous he can't form a sentence. Its obvious he was trying to make things right with Di'Anno, even blurting out "I love you" but Di'Anno's too burnt out to understand.

Di'Anno hears his name and says: "I am number one vocalist, Bruce Dickinson"

Then he starts singing like him. What the fuck??

I like both singers and their contributions to Maiden; but dissing Bruce then performing a classic and only sounding sub par at most wasn't impressive. I do agree with him on most things he said however, people that pay money and go to a show they could care less about are just plain ignorant and stupid. Plenty of others would have been happy to stand in your spot and watch Paul's show, dick. I really enjoyed his last few records; songs like "Madman in the Attic" and "S.A.T.A.N." are some real heavy gems. I always wanted to hear a few new Maiden tracks with Paul on vocals, just to hear what Maiden would have been like in present time had Paul still be the front man. I'm sorry though Paul, Bruce is clearly the superior vocalist...denying it just makes you look jealous.

The first two Maiden albums are absolute classics, but Paul now is a total embaressment. To call him a shadow of his former self would be a massive understatement. I loved his vocals on those 2 albums, but he can't sing anymore, that is beyond doubt.

He was right to call out the guy who kept shouting for Bruce, but the way he did so just made him look like a complete moron. If being a class act and being able to sing makes Bruce "gay", then the world would benefit from a lot more gay guys being around! I'd tell Paul to just shut up and sing, but he can't do that anymore, so... just act like a sad, angry drunk instead I guess! lol

Not only does he sound like absolute shit but to carry on like that with someone who obviously couldn't speak the language well was unnecessary bullshit. Then to threaten the guy repeatedly...that is just fucked up. Kudos to the band for trying to get the instrumental right, just goes to show you how really good the real Iron Maiden are live.......Bruce Dickinson!

Adrian Smith \m/\m/ Great songwriter!
Anyway - Mr. Harris chose a great team & I'm thankful for having the choice to listen to both Paul & Bruce.
Dance of Death is so prog & then Killers is punk & Sonewhere In Time is melodic / heavy fast riffs....so much to choose from.
Yeah so he called out a fan. What a punk ;o)
Praises to all 3 Maiden vocalists. Blaze...good job too!
\Up/ the \Irons/

Bruce is a hypocrite globalist:

"Bruce is involved in an air ship venture to manufacture lighter than air drones with a contract to supply the U.S. Army."

Not that I'm a huge Dickinson-fan, but he sure as hell is 10 times better than this retard Di'Anno, who is barely even a singer.

Did he actually say that singing opera is easy????

Moron.

This is a classic example of a little boy who lives in the past.

Although to be fair, I wouldn't want someone coming to my job as a janitor and reminding me that I used to be the president.

...in Oz next week supposedly...I say supposedly as this might tip him over the edge & back onto the booze/drugs...it's gonna be interesting to see whether he makes it...

That guy in the audience is a fuckin idiot. But the way Di'Anno reacted to him was even worse

I saw him play live not too long ago and he was terrible. I honestly don't know why he even tries to continue on.

Paul is a fat piece of shit that has never gotten over getting canned from Iron Maiden.

I would respect him if he didn't talk so much shit on the current line up. But the guy has no class. Bruce Dickinson schools him in every way possible and thats a fact.

PS.. The first Iron Maiden albums were NOT punk. Di'Anno wants to make it seem like they were a punk band. His vocal style was not punk either... he just has a lack of range so its easier for him to say he was Punk.

There is nothing Punk about the first 2 Iron Maiden albums

If I want punk I'll go listen to Discharge, Conflict, The Varukers, Subhumans, etc... NOT Iron Maiden

If Steve Harris listens that the first 2 Maiden albums were punk he beheads this guy. The only punkish (and yes special) thing is JUST his voice. Of course, he could have been more classy on his reaction, that does not favour him at all.

kik em all
DIANNO RULEZ!!!

because a fan insulted him doesn't mean that he has to insult Bruce. What did Bruce do to Paul to deserve to be ridiculed?

he's right for answering the guy like that but its stupid calling Bruce's singing gay and easy, anything Iron Maidon does both the singing and playing is so much harder then punk will ever be.
but why come to a concert with Paul DiAnno and ask for Bruce Dickinsson???? thats even more stupid

The only two Maiden album I really like are Powerslave and The Number of the Beast. I never liked Paul's voice. I guess it's normal that he flipped out, but he made a fool out of himself. Insulting Bruce was uncalled for.

dumb ass ukrainians... Paul is an old old geezer now, but if he had have shouted that at Paul 20 years ago, paul would have fucking killed him.

you just don't pay to go see an artist then heckle like that. fuck the ex-soviet block.

The best Maiden albums ever are easily Powerslave and Piece of Mind. Fuck that Fat piece of shit, the dude's a massive asshole through and through. Read his book and see for yourself.

How many times he emphasizes how he wrote this song and that song...coming up with lyrics does not constitute taking credit for the whole tune. What a fucking jack ass. I used to respect paul.

are you only a true metalhead if the first 2 maiden albums are the best?

This is punk, Hells Angles forever, er yeah Paul, whatever you say....

Okay whatever Paul...they got to where their are at not cause of you making two let important albums with Maiden...you moron

Paul's a dick, no secret there and if you're gonna go to his show and yell about Bruce, you can expect a reaction. Maybe dude was just trying to get on "TV"...who knows...That being said, one of my favorite Maiden tunes has Paul on vox but ultimately Bruce is the man. About the gay shit...really???

Paul started OK discussing the issue, but then turned into a total jerk when it appeared he was done but then all of sudden he thought it would be nice to put some more "oil on the fire".

With this kind of behaviour, he proves he's nothing more than a sorry ass. Period.

while his approach was not cool, I agree totally with him. Why do people on this site think BD has such a great voice? really?...like him, fine. Some of my favorite singers don't have technically good voices, they just sound great...but people think BD has this amazing voice. That phony opera singer voice. not hard. Sound awful.

Good for Paul. I'm a huge fan of Bruce's but I completely side w/ Paul on this one. Fuck this clown!
In all fairness though, the dude sounded wasted. Still...shut your hole, moron.

Going to a Paul Di'anno show and shouting Bruce Dickinson is just stupid and obviously provoking someone who is easily provoked. I wish Paul would have went Chris Barnes on that stupid MF.

So seriously, no disrespect to Paul. He has a good voice, but Bruce is one of the best singers ever in accomplishments, talent, performance, creative work, and longevity.

1st
Iron Maiden has enjoyed way more success with Bruce Dickinson

2nd
Bruce is a class act and a professional

3rd
The first two Iron Maiden albums are not the sound that characterizes Iron Maiden. They have released far more material as a progressive rock/metal band and that is the sound they are best known for

4th
Bruce's lyrics are thought provoking, profound, and inspiring. Paul's lyrics are none of those things.

5th
If you think the first two Iron Maiden albums are the best, your either an idiot or in some serious denial.

Oh yeah, and Bruce being an ambitious businessman only adds to my admiration for the guy. He's an inspiring person in all aspects of his life.

No disrespect to Paul Di'Anno. He has a good voice and the stuff he sang on the new Scelerata is sweet, but he will never be the level of musician or person that Bruce Dickinson is, but that's ok cause Bruce sets the bar extremely high.

A good post, apart from your 5th point. That
doens't make sense AT ALL, and you'd better admit it ;-)

I will remember from this Video is Paul singing 5sec of Run to the hills

PRobably a worldwide premiere ! :) heeh

I want to hear him sing the whole thing now. Bruce sings the old Paul songs all the time. Paul should sing a Bruce era Maiden tune. As a fan of both I'd love to hear it.

success doesnt equal quality, in most cases it just equals a big pile of shit

Yeah Paul can talk all the shit about Bruce Right now, but when he does another line of cocaine he will love Bruce again........Please Paul put the fucking microphone down and retire you fucking septic waste of space
