On This Day in Metal October 26, 1981 45 years ago today, Bruce Dickinson made his live debut with Iron Maiden at the Palasport in Bologna, Italy, replacing original vocalist Paul Di’Anno during the Killers World Tour. Two legendary voices. Two very different eras of Iron Maiden. Paul Di’Anno brought a raw, gritty attitude to the early years, while Bruce Dickinson brought his powerful, soaring vocals that would become a defining part of Maiden’s sound. So let’s settle the debate… Who do you think was the better singer for Iron Maiden, Paul Di’Anno or Bruce Dickinson?
