Search - Paul Dianno :: Beyond The Maiden

Good Rock Album, but not a good Metal Album

"If you're expecting a smashing heavy metal album like the ones that Paul Di'anno usually makes, this really isn't the one.But, if you are looking for a good rock album, including slower hits, THIS IS THE ONE!!! Slow rock musics like 'searching for you', sang by the legendary voice sounds really GREAT!! I think that this album can dissapoint some Paul Dianno fans, but it is a great album for general rock music fans, people who enjoy sounds like Brian Adams or Zuccero will really love this album.For the metal fans there are only a few musics taken from one of Dianno's live shows."

Why Paul, Why?

"I remember when I was 13 years old and I got my first iron maiden cd for X-mas, "Best of the beast". By far, the tracks which featured Paul Di'anno were my favorites. Soon after, I purchased all the Iron Maiden cds.



I've not purchased many other albums that featured Paul Di'anno, but I got this one, and I regret it. This album is funny, in a weird masochistic way. When I listen to this cd, all that comes into my head is "Will make music for food!". There is some real terrible cover songs, some AOR sounding songs, generic ballady type stuff, and the 92837982 rehash of iron maiden tracks which Paul seems to like to put onto every cd he releases. From what I gather from reading his book, "The Beast", he was most likely drunk or high on cocaine while recording these. It shows.



Please look over this CD and track down "Paul Di'anno's battlezone" cds. They are much better than this filth."
