Paul Di'Anno Slams First Iron Maiden Album

(Classic Rock) Former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di'Anno has slated the sound of the band's self-titled debut album, branding it "f***ing awful." But he still looks back warmly at the 1980 release and its follow-up Killers, which he recorded before leaving the band in 1981.

Di'Anno is currently touring Europe with Greek pick-up band Sorrowful Angels, and he's working on an album with German outfit Architect To Chaos.

He tells Rock Overdose: "Iron Maiden was always a heavy metal band with a punk kid - that was me - but the sound of the first album was f***ing awful.

"There were some of the best songs on the first album, and on the second one. Somebody should re-mix that. It would sound fantastic with a really good sound behind it." more on this story
