Farewell to Paul Di'Anno

[headlesshorsemanxiii]

Genuinely saddened to learn of the death of NWOBHM pioneer and original lead singer of the legendary Iron Maiden, Paul Di'Anno.

Stalks of light come from the ground / When I cry there isn't a sound / All my feelings cannot be held / I'm happy in my new strange world / Shades of green grasses twine / Girls drinking plasma wine / A look at love, a dream unfolds / Living here, you'll never grow old.

Strange World, Iron Maiden.

Paul Di'Anno.

15th May, 1958 - 21st October, 2024.

My family is deeply rooted in Metal and music in general. The tastes don’t stop in one genre for me, but for this article, I wanted to focus on the usual topic. I grew up on Rush, Metallica, Def Leppard, Fear Factory, Van Halen, and…

OZZY OSBOURNE - "Perry Mason" (Official Video)

In honour of the Prince of Darkness's 75th birthday, probably my favourite song of his. Perhaps a bit too radio friendly, but still a great track.

A FEAST OF THE BEAST ON THE ROAD TOUR -- DEEP SOUTH, AMERICAN STYLE.

PIC(S) INFO: Mega spotlight on English heavy metal band IRON MAIDEN, performing live at the Auditorium North Hall in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, on August 8th, 1982. 📸: Keenan Neighbor.

Also on the bill that night were Germany's SCORPIONS (the headlining act), and the UK's GIRLSCHOOL. Of course, MAIDEN completely blew the doors off this gig and stole the show in the process. Sorry, Scorps.
