When asked by Vue Weekly in a recent interview about the possibility of releasing a new studio album in the not-too-distant future, Di'Anno replied, "We did five new tracks in Germany last year — it's very industrialized — but we got in a bit of an argument with the record company and we told them to piss off, basically. So I kept them songs and a friend of mine where I am right at the minute in Salisbury down in Southwest England, has just handed me 16 pieces of music so I'm going to go away when I have a bit of time and see what I can come up with for that."

	COMMENT \| what a liar posted by : tpie 9/29/2009 5:00:15 PM

	he says on the early days DVD that he wrote those original lyrics to killers backstage before the show (which is a lie) and in this interview he says he made them up on stage (which is a bigger lie). and yes, a shame he has to play so much 'sub par' maiden tunes.... this guy is a true piece of shit. go shake your blubber paul.

	I prefer the Di'Anno era albums to the Bruce era. I like both versions of Maiden but I love the 2 Di'Anno albums to death!

	He should stop using the fact that he was once in Iron maiden as a crutch. i mean sure he sang the sngs, but he only helped to write 4 out of the 10 maiden songs in his set list. It's time to let it go, his career dosent really seem to be going any further from where i'm standing.

	COMMENT \| Maiden would be nothing without Di'Anno posted by : RiotPrat666 9/30/2009 8:59:42 AM

	True, Harris wrote the songs and vocal melodies - but Maiden would have never been recognized without's Paul's brilliant lyrics - 'just 16 a pick up truck out of money out of luck'. FACT - Maiden held Paul back!!!!!
