Really? I'm surprised he got more than three votes.



You have to consider how the singers fit in the band. Di'Anno was the perfect choice for those early days, but let's just say he had stayed on forever. There's no way he could nail "Where Eagles Dare" or "Rime of the Ancient Mariner." With Dickinson, the band found a vocalist they could let their sound grow with, to the point that they went from punkish metal to help found power metal, then they broke the mold they helped create with releases like Seventh Son and Brave New World. If Di'Anno had stayed in they would have stagnated and we'd have lost arguably the ONLY power metal band to ever really experiment with things.

Ach, there used to be a YouTube clip of Bruce doing Tears of the Dragon acoustically in the mid 90s, on an MTV show I used to watch regularly back then (and I actually remember watching this particular episode, too!) but it seems to be gone, gone, all gone... Shame that, the vocal performance he belted out was unsurpassed.

Bruce all the way. He seems to be doing absolutely great on the current tour! July 18th, come soon.........

I like Paul's singing voice better than Dickinson's. But Bruce fits the Iron Maiden sound and image perfectly. So I chose Dickinson. It's amazing at his age, he can still do some flying kicks on stage, without missing a note.

Regardless of who the best Maiden singer may be, I think this poll should be moved as soon as possible in order to prevent some members from having a fitLOL...

Dickinson's OK but as far as I'm concerned, he isn't the best Iron Maiden singer (or even the best Samson singer). The first concert I ever went to was Iron Maiden on the Killers tour with Paul Di'Anno so that may cloud my judgement.

Now that I remember, in the Early Days DVD main documentary, it's mentioned that Steve Harris once had to do vocals live and sounded pretty appalling apparently. I'm curious as to whether that particular live performance was recorded in some way (though I doubt it).

^^ Disturbing the Peace was their second album - with Steve Vai instead of Yngwie Malmsteen. It really sounds much different!

AAAAARRGHHHH!!! An Iron Maiden poll in Prog Polls.... *has a fit*LOL
 
OK, let's be serious now... Dickinson for me, of course! Never really liked Di'Anno's vocals, and poor Bayley was not up to the task.
 
As regards Graham Bonnet, I'm not familiar with his work with Alcatrazz, while I know his records with both Rainbow and MSG. Never been a big fan of his, for some reason or the other, though the guy undoubtedly can sing. That said, I prefer him on those songs when he doesn't have to hit the high notes too often.

the vocals on that first Alcatrazz record are a little much, kindy shrieky, I prefer him with Schenker

Dickinson is *the* perfect Maiden vocalist. I really enjoy the two albums with Di'Anno though.

What do you guys think about Graham Bonnet? Especially on Alcatraz - Disturbing the Peace he sounds awesome ... great range and technique, but also a really raw edge.
