Ian Hill did help co-write several songs in the band's early years. Plus he does have some pretty great parts in many songs, even though they may not be obvious at first. Ever heard Dreamer Deceiver? Or Run of the Mill? The Rage, even? Steve and Ian are equally great, IMO. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by SIRENSONG from Monday, March 23, 2009 10:34:07 PM)

Nothing against Maiden, but they are not in the Priest-League. On each spot, singer, guitar, base and drums, on each of those Priest is just a bit better all n'for all!
