Prije polaska na turneju uspjeli smo da progovorimo par riječi sa nekadašnjim frontmenom Iron Maidena, a sada samostalnim umjetnikom Paul DiAnnom.
Pa Pol, reci nam šta očekuješ od turneje?
Bol, nedostatak sna, probavu… ha ha. Nadam se da ću dovući koliko je moguće ljudi na ovu turneju i otići na mjesta gdje do sada nijesam bio. Turneje su moj život i to sad shvatam, tako da se nadam dobrom provodu i obroj publici.
Da li ćeš doći i do naših krajeva?
O da, volio bih da dođem u Beograd jer volim taj grad. Čim bude dovoljno vremena za to doći ću opet da sviram.
Da li planiraš da snimaš nešto? Možda DVD izdanje?
Sigurno da da, ali moj najveći problem je pronalaženje slobodnog vremena da to uradim. Upravo prošle nedjelje odradio sam dva koncerta kao Special Guest za dva različita benda (jedan u Francuskoj a drugi u Finskoj) tako da će biti nešto realizovano uskoro. Kada mi vrijeme dozvoli planiram takođe da sklopim novi Live DVD. Plus će moja autobiografska knjiga “The Beast” dobiti svjetsko online izdanje putem Amazona u martu ove godine.
Većina ljudi te zna iz vremena Maidena, kako se nosiš sa tim?
To je dio moje baštine i dio istorije Maidena, pa sam tako naučio da je to jedan bitan dio mog života. Takođe sam primjetio na mojim koncertima da dosta ljudi želi da čuje te klasike i ja ih uvijek rado sviram.
Koja je glavna poruka koju šalješ publici?
Muzika mora da bude emocionalna, da ljudima pruži bijeg od stvarnosti. Pokušavam da ljudima pružim uzbudljiv šou koliko je to u mojoj moći sa muzikom kao živim elementom.
Šta se dešava sa Killers & Battlezone?
Rasformirao sam oba benda prije nekoliko godina, sada se rađe fokusiram samo na moj projekat i žive svirke, zato se sada na koncertima pojavljujem iskljucivo kao Paul DiAnno.
Hvala za intervju I nadam se da se vidimo uskoro!
Nadam se da ću ubrzo biti kod vas. Posjetite moj veb sajt: www.myspace.com/diannothebeast
