Bruce is a much more accomplished and talented singer than most in the past 30 years. I think most people draw conclusions on his vocal ability without either ever really listing to him or not investigating the context that he is singing in. Iron Maiden is not, was not, nor ever will be cheesy metal (as opposed to a lot of bands of a separate genre that they got lumped with). Paul = Pub band, Bruce = world tour at 24 years of age and headlining festival tours in front of 200,000 people. Not to mention, international critical acclaim and being voted above Sabbath as best metal band ever. They currently hold the status of classic rock, which is actually a huge deal (Pink Floyd, Rush, Led Zeppelin etc...). All of this when Bruce came on board. Up the Irons!!!!!!!!!


Bruce Dickinson wasn't the main Iron Maiden songwriter ... Steve Harris was, along with the guitarists. And it wasn't like he made Iron Maiden famous ... he just joined the band at an ideal time and happened to have both a better technique and a bigger ego. I like his vocals very much, but when I compare the various Dickinson solo albums to the Iron Maiden albums, it becomes apparent that he only achieves true greatness together with Iron Maiden.

Difficult choice. I think Bruce Dickenson is a better singer and I cant imagine all those albums been made without him, but Paul Dianno sings in that typical NWOBHM way I like very much. Just think of bands like Tygers of Pan Tang or More(who had the very first Iron Maiden singer in it) all had rough yet melodic vocals like PD. BD singing also sounded much less over the top much rougher in Samson. A bit like a cross between Ian Gillan and James Young of Styx. Blaze Bailey was much better than you think. I agree with another reviewer who states that it was the fault of the bad music on the records he sing with.
