Paul vs Bruce vs Blaze

So who has the better overall discography outside of Iron Maiden? It can include Samson, Wolfsbane, Battlezone etc.

I went with Blaze, I just like his output overall.

1. Bruce
2. Paul
3. Blaze


None of them are spectacular, but I find Bruce's solo material to be the most memorable out of the three.

If Adrian Smith were included in this poll, I would have voted for him. The A.S.A.P. and Psycho Motel albums are really awesome.

Bruce's solo output for me. I have all of them and they are all really good. I only have one of Dianno's Battlezone and it 's good, but that's not enough for me to go by and
supplant Bruce's material. I've never heard any of Bayley's work.

Bruce. The other two guys suck.

Probably Blaze.

But Accident of Birth & Chemical Wedding are both great, and as good as the best Blaze records. But for overall catalogue, it's Blaze.

Blaze. But this is quite a tough choice.

I like almost all of Bruce's discography (i've never made it all the way through Tattooed Millionaire or Balls to Picasso though, for some reason), but on the strength of Skunkworks, Accident of Birth, and The Chemical Wedding I've gotta vote for him. Those are some of my favorite albums in general.

Never heard any Di'anno solo stuff, to be honest. Probably won't.

And Blaze is pretty damn good, but I don't love the albums of his (those with which I'm familiar, at least) nearly as much as those three Bruce albums.

Ha, I guess I'm the sole voter for Di' Anno at the moment. I really like the Battlezone albums I have. The only solo Dickinson album I had was Tattooed Millionaire, and I didn't like it. I haven't heard Bayley's stuff.

Bruce easily

Bruce.

Just curious, of all the Paul solo releases where he re-does Maiden songs has he ever done a Bruce song? Most of his retreads are from the first two albums. Would love to hear him do The Trooper or NOTB.

Bruce all the way.

I can totally understand that. Skunkworks is my fave solo Bruce and most people I know dismiss it. I may have to bust out the deluxe edition this week or just continue my Blaze kick and start a Bruce kick too. I do feel that Bruce's discography is the most diverse.

Bruce by a wide margin. I've enjoyed all his solo works to some degree.

I lost interest in Blaze's solo material after the 3rd album or so and the only good Di'Anno album I've heard was Killer's Murder One.

Bruce on the strength of Chemical Wedding alone. Don't mind Paul's Battlezone stuff but Blaze can't hold my attention at all.

Accident of Birth is my favourite. But Chemical Wedding is in the same tier. And so are Blaze's Silicon Messiah, Tenth Dimension and The Man Who Would Not Die.

Chemical Wedding is probably my favorite Bruce solo album.

Bruce made Accident of Birth. Nuff said.

I've never understood why people dislike Skunkworks so passionately. Most people I've seen bash on it do so because it's not metal enough for their tastes, but his first two solo albums aren't really all that metal either. I should come back around to Tattooed Millionaire and Balls to Picasso sometime, though, to see if my feelings toward them have changed in the interim.

I like the Skunkworks B-side "I'm In A Band With An Italian Drummer" (hilarious) better than anything on the album proper.

I quite liked the Battlezone and Gogmagog records so I voted Paul but I also think he has fallen the furthest and he sounds like a terrible pub singer now.

Bruce just annoys me and I think Blaze sucks so it wasn't that hard a decision.

Bruce!

No contest.

Bruce
