Paul Di’Anno will forever remain in our hearts as the legendary Iron Maiden vocalist who gave us a gift of the iconic first two Iron Maiden albums.
Yet, and what many people do not understand, Paul Di’Anno was more, and I mean much more than just the first Iron Maiden vocalist, who recorded Iron Maiden and Killers. So in honor of now late Paul Di’Anno, let’s take a look at some of the most memorable of the many projects Paul Di’Anno has led after his departure from Iron Maiden in 1981
We will take a look at such Paul Di’Anno bands as DiAnno, Gogmagog, Paul Di’Anno’s Battlezone, Praying Mantis, Killers, Rockfellas, Architects of Chaoz, Warhorse and others. Here you go!

I agree he helped to establish iron maiden, but after that he become a drunken druggie wife beater
Preying Mantis – ‘Live at Last’ 🤯
Saw Lonewolf supporting Thin Lizzy on the Renegade tour. Just another unknown support act as far as the audience was concerned – until the opening strains of Remember Tomorrow whereupon a collective penny dropped.
I used to like Battle Zone especially Children of Madness album.
I believe Nicko’s first appearance with Maiden was dressed like Eddie during the Killers tour on a tv special. So technically Nicko was on stage with Paul Di’anno 😂😂😂
KIllers is my favorite IM album.
Every song.
I was 13 when it came out and it changed the game for me.
I was into mostly punk when it came out.
DRIFTER is my fav
Thank you so much for this video. So much information in a short video. UP THE IRONS FOREVER! With love from Colorado.
Paul was 4 Years Older Than I ❤🎉😊
The wolf thing would've been cool. To further the conspiracy theory,I believe Maiden must have played festivals with Accept back in the day. Accept's guitarist is named…Wolf. Eerie huh?Anyway excellent video as usual,thanks for making it.
I was so happy today I got a comment from one of my comments about Metal today this young Metalhead send a message to me that metal still lives I was so proud of that my comment got a response long live metal and rock and roll❤❤❤😊
i saw paul around 2010. he wasn't in a wheelchair, but he had a cane. he had a local metallica tribute band who clearly learned the first 2 maiden albums a couple days earlier……they were a fantastic band and i think they were officially sanctioned-they played in front of a master of puppets scrim/backdrop. they did a set of justice and puppets songs, then dianno came on and they did a bunch of stuff from the first 2 maiden albums and a battlezone (i think) song or 2. it was easilly one of the worst shows i've ever seen. it was so bad, it was actually amazing. it was like watching some avant garde performance art troupe…..paul with a cane just barking and shouting the lyrics out of key with a band that didn't really know the songs, in front of a metallica backdrop. it was a weird night
So many ads on this channel – every minute
Outside of Iron Maiden Paul had some great songs, but the best was the warhorse album
It's a shame Paul didn't get clean/straightened up his life earlier.. if you put aside his lack of stamina due to health issues, his voice was still top notch. Legend
dianno forwver
I have been subscribed forever.
Have the first iron maiden album on vinyl i still don't have the killers on cd or vinyl but ill crank the first album for paul🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Thank you so much for doing this Pilgrim.. . I’ve been a Maiden fan my whole life and Paul’s passing hit me hard. Fantastic tribute ..
Yeah, thing with Paul's career was that he never got support from mayor record companies, not for a global distribution of his work anyway. My younger me, been a huge Maiden fan back then, would've loved to listen anything even from ex members of the band, which only happen years later with the openig of some shops in my country specialized on imported records if we're avaliable and with the coming of the internet, oc. RIP Paul🤘
It was a strange coincidence that I happened to be watching a documentary on Iron Maidens early days (up until Piece of Mind), and the Next day I wake up to the sad news of Paul's passing.
Please, try to fix your pronunciation of the word "thousand". Thank you.
his work with battlezone was amazing, specially the first album! murder one is pretty good too!
I've been binging Paul's other projects and so far Murder One has been my favourite. It still sounds fresh.
Killers was by far the best Maiden album. Not even close. For me, he was far better than Bruce.

Great channel, bro!
I really like the Killers project.
Especially the murder one release.
Best track: Impaler.
The living dead released as Paul Di'anno is very good too.
Best track: The Living Dead.
RIP Paul…
You're surely missed
Cheers!
Paul will always be remembered as the original recording vocalist of the band, but he was a better vocalist/songwriter after leaving! Living Dead is a fucking fantastic song!
Murder One is fantastic. Is it really "Groove metal"? The followup wasn't nearly as good, so we can give that one to groove.
