I love Paul and Bruce. Just like I love Bon Scott and Brian from AC/DC.

This was actually awful to see him in this shape. I don't want to see him like this. He really let go of himself.

As a kid, I was attracted to this era of Maiden because it felt "punk" to me. Clearly, I wasn't to only one. Fast forward, Sam Dunn asks Harris of the punk influence and Steve out right dismissed it. Found it ridiculous. Watching this and Paul talks of his influences and I feel like that Dicaprio meme pointing at a screen. "I knew it." RIP Paul. Great documentary. ✌🏼💀

damn, someone is going to have to say it, but this man lived the life of an untreated drug addict. Sufferring even without a hit mostly is what I saw. I know too well the pains (both physical and emotional) but it is by the Grace of God that I am happy as a sober alcoholic today. The trauma and heartbreak I gave and left in my rampage is his too – even sober for that matter. I knew that the relationship with Jasmina would not last and she was used to suffice his pity. Worse yet, he never (far as I know) apologized to the band members for his f*cked up behavior and how much damage he inflicted upon them as a band and wanting success. Ahhh the life of an addict: everything is your fault and that is why I do what I do. My only hope is that he prayed to his Creator before he left this earth and not ended up "down below" as that idiot Bruce inclined on stage. Morale of the story: people will fight to the end on their own, but to fight the same battle with God, you will have to experience on your own what I mean.

There is a natural tendency for some people to let minor health issues go unattended until they become major health problems, and by then it can be too late. It's always best to be vigilant about your health.

This was better than Burning Ambition. Great doc. I could have lived without the surgery clips, though. Take heed of the warning at the beginning.

Really great documentary of the last years of Paul. What a troubled soul and mess, he was his worst enemy.. There is no way that he could stay in Maiden being so restless and stubbornly reckless even being a talented singer.
And it looks like that the C19 injections were the reason for his passing. Aortic dissection is the cause of his death. One of so many tragic cases. RIP!

I can’t imagine the pain that man was in the last years of his life. Jesus.

Iron Maiden should of let Paul sing Remember Tomorrow one last time with them live on stage in front of the fans. It would of meant the world to him. RIP Paul😢

Di'Anno is one of my favorite vocalists. He was supposed to do a US tour in 2024 or last year. What Id give to have gotten to see him and tell him how much he's influenced me. RiP

Loved Paul's voice . He was a great singer and perfect for Maiden. Just wished we could have gotten more with Paul. I hear it wouldn't be the same. I call bs. I like Bruce. But there totally different. Paul to me actually sings. Bruce sometimes seems like he is reading lyrics and not singing. Not hating on Bruce. Just stating what I hear and feel. God Bless you Paul and Clive. We miss to both.

10X more entertaining documentary than Burning Ambition will ever be.
RIP Paul. A tormented soul created a tormented body but now your pain is no more.

He profoundly changed this world. Its a much better world because of his contribution to it.

I loved Iron Maiden 1984-1988. Appreciate Paul's vocals much more now as an adult than I did as a kid. He was so genuine. RIP.

This documentary truly broke my heart. Paul’s era of Iron Maiden is the reason i play bass. He tried so hard to get his health back. Gone but truly never forgotten.

Nice! I saw Maiden a couple of times in '81 and again in '82 when I was stationed in Germany.
Was fortunate to see Paul before he was replaced.. Di'Anno was the man! And the first two albums were killer. RIP, Paul

Maiden is awesome, clearly went the yard. I like them, i don't listen to much of anything after Di'anno in the last 40 years, i do on rare occasion, and no disrespect for Bruce, Number of the Beast, Piece of mind ( it's ok), Powerslave ( masterpiece ), Somewhere in time ( epic ) but Di'anno all the way. None of it touches the Di'anno years for me. Number of the Beast would the the only one. Somewhere in time is an exception, but it's an evolution that was cool in 86 or whatever and still. But it's a different animal. Too tame. Bruce's voice is GREAT, but too blah. I need some punk attitude in my metal. Young Di'anno was fking amazing, a legendary voice beyond anything they have done since. (imo)

Maybe if Paul had quit drinking and smoking he'd have had an easier time of it. Instead we see where his priorities lie, and how that played out. Pathetic human being

I discovered Maiden around 1985 when I saw the Piece of mind cassette at the drug store and got it. I had heard of Iron Maiden, but the only thing I knew about them was "Run to the Hills" and "Number of the beast" I got into them very quickly and loved everything about them. I kept getting other cassette tapes, I went and got "Number of the beast", "Live after death" then " Power Slave" but then I went and got the "Iron Maiden" the album. I had no idea at first what I was even listing to. I had no idea that this was basically an entirely different band. The only actual members of the Iron Maiden that I knew were Dave Murry and Steve Harris. I had a lot of digging to do, and in those days, without the internet, it wasn't easy to just piece together a bands history. But I absolutely fell in love with Di'annos voice and style. I stayed on the first two Maiden albums for a couple of years. That's all I listened to. I even got the Killers back patch for my denim jacket. God I love that band. I've seen them three times in concert. I saw Guns and roses open up for Maiden on the Seventh Son tour, before anyone even knew who GnR even was. What a time to be alive.

This documentary kicked my ass. I didn’t know he was in that bad a shape. I’m approaching 60 and I need to get my shit together a bit more too. Not that I’m unhealthy, but it makes you think.

I like the first two maiden albums.. But imo, the Bruce era is when things really got real.

The first Iron Maiden album was the first I owned. Paul to me will always be the band's. definitive singer. I also have every post Maiden album he recorded from "DiAnno" (1984) to "Warhorse".
@joeyb.8613
August 14, 2026 at 7:54 am
I have to agree with the premise that there are simply two Iron Maidens…. Both versions hugely iconic and obviously helped define what heavy metal is today. My two favorite Iron Maiden albums are KILLERS and THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST…. So I have one from each version!
@Bloomcycle

He should have formed a band right after Maiden. Would have been great 🤘

Gogmagog wasnt such a bad band i think he mightve been able to stick it out with them.

September 12, 2009. He played the warehouse in Calgary,, small venue, but awesome. Dude was such a soldier. He played the whole set with a broken knee in cast.
I got to shake his hand and thank him for coming to Calgary wearing my killers vest… that man was a legend
@rickdowdin9441

I was sad to see Paul leave Maiden way back when.
I still have the "Killers" CD because Mr. Di'anno was the vocalist.
