Pauli poika taas vauhdissa
Pål Johansen of the IRON MAIDEN fan site MaidenNorway.com conducted an interview with former MAIDEN singer Paul Di'Anno on Wednesday, April 26, several hours before the vocalist's performance at Madam Felle in Bergen, Norway. A few excerpts from the chat follow:
MaidenNorway.com: Yeah you did a concert with Blaze Bailey once, didn't you?
Di'Anno: That fuck. He came up to do one song and he couldn't remember the words! He's a prick, he's another prick, my God!"
MaidenNorway.com: What song was it?
Di'Anno: "'Running Free'! [looks stunned] How hard is that? I mean I fucking wrote the song. How hard is that? I'm no fucking musical genius. They went on about three o'clock in the afternoon, in Istanbul. We went on around about ten o'clock at night, and we said, 'Yeah, come on up and do a song.' Because they asked us all day long, 'Can we do a song, can we do a song?' 'Yeah, yeah.' And then, fucking assholes, about... I don't know, sometime in the morning after asking us over and over and over, they said, 'Naah, we don't know this now because Blaze might be too busy, he's got so many interviews.' At the hotel, everybody was doing interviews, yeah? And he sat there, he was sitting in this corner and no one was talking to him. We'd done fucking hundreds of interviews that day from Israeli TV, Syria, everywhere, we'd done everything. And he's sitting there — doing nothing. So I'm like, 'Why are you being a fucking superstar, you know?' And when he came up on stage, all he could do was this [makes hand gestures and laughs]. Aaah the prick! No, no, I couldn't be dealing with that, and I was really upset because my band was, 'Oh what is up with that?' [shakes head] I don't wanna know. Naaah, never mind."
