This page tells you what happened to all of
the ex-maiden members after they left the band.
Dennis Stratton
Dennis left the band for musical differences,
but funnily enough, can be heard playing covers of maiden songs with Praying
Mantis a couple of years later. As far as I know, he hasn't done anything famous
since then.
Paul Di'anno
He also joined up with Dennis and Praying
Mantis to do maiden covers on 'Live at Last'. He has worked with various
different maiden tribute bands since. He has not done any new stuff that I know
of, but has recently released an album in February 2001 that also consists
solely of maiden songs from his era. The album is called 'Paul Di'anno and
the Beast - Live'. He can be heard singing with a more 'Death Metal' voice
than he did with Maiden.
Clive Burr
Clive went on to do some successful
drum-based tracks with other groups. At least he didn't do maiden covers!
Bruce Dickinson
Between seventh son and No Prayer, Bruce took
time out to record 'Tattooed Millionaire' which contained great songs
such as Son of a Gun and Dive Dive Dive! He did not leave maiden,
though. But after Donington '92 he did. He then made albums both with Skunkworks
and solo. He rejoined maiden in '99 for the Ed Hunter Tour.
Adrian Smith
He left after Seventh Son, and rejoined in
'99. In the time he took out, he recorded two albums in a band called Psycho
Motel. Rumors are that he left the band before No Prayer because after Bruce's
Tattooed Millionaire album, Bruce brought Janick Gers to the band, and Adrian
didn't agree with having three guitarists.
Blaze Bayley
There are rumors circulating that Blaze was
fired during the Virtual XI tour. I don't know if these are true, but a lot of
people think so. He has recently formed his own band, (funnily enough called
BLAZE!) and released an album.
