Praying Mantis's Discography

Last Modified On 21 Mar 2009
Live At Last - Praying Mantis with Paul Di Anno and Denis Stratton reviewed by Min on Wed March 28, 2007
Starts with a good rendition of Panic in the streets. Then Dennis comes on and it just gets better - more Mantis classics and a great Lionheart tune. Unfortunately Paul DiAnno then takes over the mike. Now I know he CAN sing (nothing fantastic - but good enough), but he just seems to want to sound like a pub singer. Luckily he doesn't quite ruin the next Mantis track or Lionheart tune. Then it goes rapidly downhill; it's like DiAnno is paradying himself. Sorry, but the first 5 Maiden tracks are not good. By the time we reach Cheated, he seems to have calmed down, either that or the song just can't be ruined within his range. On the plus side, Running Free is a good closer, and DiAnno shows his humour with a Bob Marley impression....there's even a snippet of Kylie! Worth buying if it is cheap!
