"Make that 1/2 and we have a deal 😂"
That unabashed mercantilism in you horrifies me!
Darn holländischer Kaufmann ... I guess for a dry Maidenholic like you, Dee and Clive Burr are the "stars", right?
How unfair to Bernie! There were technically more proficient lead guitarists around, but I liked his wild abandon on the instrument (as if Hendrix had turned punk) and the way he looked as if he had just walked out of the dressing room of Adam & The Ants!
For the record: I liked Clive Burr's drumming with Maiden too. That was lively as well and he always looked like he was having fun doing it.
Gillan (the band) were rough around the edges, but had charm and grit.
