Interview with Paul Dianno (Rosendal Scene, Trondheim 2008)

Today I received the message that Paul Dianno (the legendary Iron Maiden singer on their first albums) had passed away. Way too early! Rest in peace. About thinking of Paul Diannos career and my relation to his music I remembered that I still got the interview I did with him in 2008. This was an interview I did as a cooperation between my own webzine Icon Music Mag and the local radiochannel Studentradio'n and their metal show "Hammartid" hosted by Helle Stenkløv in Trondheim 2008. Paul Dianno had a gig at Rosendal Scene and I was allowed backstage right after the concert to do a 5 minute long interview with Paul. This is more or less the whole interview recorded that day, way more than five minutes. Sorry about my poor and nervous English at the recording. It may have become a little better since then. The photo is of Paul and me just before or right after the interview. Photo: Pia Farstad Eriksen/Icon Music Mag
