Bayley, who succeeded Di’Anno in the band, emphasized that while there have been various eras of Iron Maiden, none can compare to the impact of Di’Anno’s contributions.

Di’Anno, who fronted the band during its formative years, is celebrated for his powerful vocals on the first two albums, Iron Maiden and Killers. These records are often regarded as the band’s finest work, a sentiment echoed by Bayley. He stated, “In my mind, only Paul is the legend. The legend of Iron Maiden belongs to Paul on those first two albums.”
