Re: Paul Dianno back to his old tricks
I didn’t watch all of it, but from what I saw I thought he didn’t sound bad.

Re: Paul Dianno back to his old tricks
He didn't' seem ...ummm...overmedicated as I have seen in the past.
Not completely embarrassing.
If he was playing early at a festival, and I happened to be there, I might stay for a few songs...so there's that.

A crowd of metalheads watching and somewhat enjoying a band fronted by a disabled, elderly, half Brazilian Muslim more than 40 years after he last was in a successful band. And some people say metal isn't inclusive...

Re: Paul Dianno back to his old tricks
Huh, that's the best he's looked/sounded in ages. I wonder if he's trying to work his way into some of those 50th Anniversary shows Maiden just announced for next year.

I saw him in 2010 and thought it was the best Iron Maiden show in several years.FreddyFender wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2024 9:34 am this garbage > prime Bruce Dickinson.

Re: Paul Dianno back to his old tricks
OK. I'm a big fan of the 1st 2 Maiden records but am unclear exactly what happened to Paul.
I can't watch more than the 15 seconds. Why is he in a wheelchair? Is he at fault for screwing up his life here or an innocent victim of some heinous disease?
I guess I'm trying to figure out how much sympathy to feel for the guy. Things look pretty pathetic from what I can tell. If he'd taken better care of himself would he not be in such a terrible condition?
Apologies for not knowing the full backstory like a good little Maiden fan but I felt they dropped the heavy metal ball mid of Piece of Mind...

Paul Di'Anno is Phil Rudd with less money. So yes, it's all his own doing.Stinky McFister wrote: ↑Mon Sep 23, 2024 8:14 pm OK. I'm a big fan of the 1st 2 Maiden records but am unclear exactly what happened to Paul.

Yeah, but his nuts would be riding shotgun.
On that note, Paul sounds great here. What's the problem?

Re: Paul Dianno back to his old tricks
Seriously, Di'Anno sounds more like his early self than Bruce does and I find it admirable. How many years has Paul been sitting in the hospital lately?Whatever Happened To… wrote: ↑Thu Sep 26, 2024 2:03 amCertainly no worse than Bruce on the current Maiden tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4fDENbTJ4ATravisBicklesMohawk wrote: ↑Wed Sep 25, 2024 9:38 am
