Crossing the line between psychedelic and prog metal.

There's a really cool quality to the early stuff. I get what you mean, I just love the presence of the bass. Strange World kicks ass.

I like early Iron Maiden more than Bruce Iron Maiden :3

I'm one of those who consider these first Iron Maiden albums a lot better than many other albums... Paul was supreme; in my humble opinion his voice was hugely nicer than Bruce's. I wonder what would've happened if he'd stayed in the band: what would "Somewhere in Time" sound like with Paul instead of Bruce?

They would've broken up. By all accounts the guy was just miserable to work with.

I think he meant musically, but yeah, he was rabble rouser, so we'll never no. His solo stuff that I've heard so far is crap.

Just like Killers probably. He wasn't really much of an accomplished singer and I seriously doubt Maiden could've reached the potential they did with Bruce if they still had Paul in the band.

I'm the opposite. I can't imagine songs like Wasted Years sounding better with Paul on vocals.
