Hey, remember last year when original Iron Maiden singer Paul Di’Anno called that band “boring” and compared Steve Harris to Hitler? Well in case ya don’t, here’s video of the incident:

So given his feelings on Maiden, you’d assume the singer has no real interest in playing any Maiden material or in any way acknowledging that part of his career, right?

So why the fuck is he doing a “special set” of songs from the first two Maiden albums, Iron Maiden and Killers, at the Hard Rock Hell IV festival in the UK this December?

Oh, yeah. ‘Cause without Iron Maiden, no one would give two shits about this guy. I mean, I’ve never seen Di’Anno live, but if I were him, I’d EXCLUSIVELY play songs from those two albums. And if I ever paid to see him and he didn’t do a whole shit ton of material from those records, I’d probably rush the stage and cock slap him.

What a massive, massive tool.

Interestingly enough, Blaze Bayley, another former Maiden vocalist not worth caring about, will be playing the same festival. Unfortunately, that poor dude didn’t even have Di’Anno’s good fortune to have appeared on any Maiden albums anyone actually listens to.

From the “I swear to God I’m not bitter” files: former Iron Maiden singer Paul Di’Anno apparently went off during a Q&A in Argentina last month, comparing Steve Harris to Adolf Hitler for his (allegedly) tyrannical grip over the band, which Di’Anno also called “boring.”

First of all, there’s a lot of things you can call Maiden, but “boring” is not one of them. You’ll only find Maiden boring if you hate having fun. Or happen to have your panties in a twist because you’re not in the band anymore. And being in the band is the only worthwhile thing you ever did with your life. And it was decades ago. And you’re nowhere near death. And people won’t stop asking you about it.
