Paul DiAnno lives up to his word

I saw Paul DiAnno last night at BB Kings, and that man lived up to his word.  On Monday night he declared a few things- 
1. That his knee is fucked and he needs a cane to walk comfortably (check!)
2. That he always uses a local band as his backing band- this keeps costs down and ticket prices way cheaper than they would be if a whole band had to travel. (check!  He used Pennsylvania's Icarus Witch- I gotta say they sounded pretty good.  They also had about 10x the amount of merch that DiAnno had.)
3. He plays the old Maiden shit - only faster.  (Major check on this one)
4. He'll stay after at any show and sign everything- no extra price for that. (Check!  My friend Paul had him sign 23 things!!!  The man had 2 Iron Maiden albums.... how is this ever possible!?)


All in a all, a great show- fast, heavy, and pretty much targeted to the old school Maiden fan.  He lost the crowd a little bit when going off on his solo material, but thats to expected.  His voice was a little rough, but nothing that killed the show.
