[TheCMRecluse]

R.I.P. To this great voice. May his legacy live on...

[EddieCheivz]

Damn, I never knew he just passed away today.
RIP

[clem]

R.I.P.

No saint, but a very important part of the new wave of British heavy metal story.

I was hopeful he would reunite for one final gig with Iron Maiden some day.

[celioazevedo]

Great vocalist and singer!

There's also a C♯3 at 0:26 (though folks in the Berzan thread would have you call it a C♯2 ) and a surprisingly solid short C5 at 0:43.
