annaland's song of the day

It's not Steve's fault their former lead singer wouldn't move around the stage and had a "punk" look to him. They needed a singer with some charisma. Therefore, Bruce comes on the scene. The first 2 albums were good though, have to admit that.

It's a matter of taste. Bruce is more of a traditional metal singer, where Paul brought an unique raw, aggressive vibe to Maiden. I always preferred that. The only Maiden album with Bruce I really liked was NOTB.

Here's a song recorded with both of them.


 
Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,
To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.
I've read, that things inanimate have mov'd,
And, as with living Souls, have been inform'd,
By Magick Numbers and persuasive Sound.
What then am I? Am I more senseless grown
Than Trees, or Flint? O force of constant Woe!
'Tis not in Harmony to calm my Griefs.
Anselmo sleeps, and is at Peace; last Night
The silent Tomb receiv'd the good Old King;
He and his Sorrows now are safely lodg'd
Within its cold, but hospitable Bosom.
Why am not I at Peace?
