Paul Di'Anno Speaks About Maiden
When asked about his participation in the DVD called Iron Maiden – The Early Years, Di’Anno states:”I wasn’t directly involved in the release of that. They asked me to contribute, and I did an interview in London that was shot for the DVD. It was fun doing something with them again after all these years.”
Di’Anno continues, ”Todays Iron Maiden is a completely different band from when I was in it. Steve wanted to take the band in the direction they went early on, which I wasn’t too happy about. He might’ve been right though? I’m not a big prog rock fan, but I wish them all the best. They will always be the best!”
”We meet at airports here and there from time to time, but that’s about everything we have to do with each other. We’re good friends though, there’s no bad blood there at all,” says Di’Anno.
He rates 'The Number Of The Beast' as one of his personal favorites, even though it’s recorded by his predecessor, Bruce Dickinson, on vocals.
”It’s just a fantastic song! Besides that, 'Sanctuary' and 'Murders In The Rue Morgue' are my favorites. I don’t know much about the Blaze Bayley period.”

He's REALLY shitting himself if he thinks he sings BETTER than he used to...what the hell happened to this guy? It's like he went daffy when he departed from Iron Maiden.
ITS TRUE! he sing better these days! DIANNO RULEZ!
the two albums he did with Maiden were classic, but I've never been a fan of anything he did after that
