Since it’s driven bybe, it’s going to be different Anyway. I Mean, This Sort of Started Off As A Bit More UFOwhich Maiden was also influenced by, but Maiden Also Had A Lot of More Prog Type and All Sorts of Other Influences as Well. British lion is just more like Rock Band with Vray Strong Melodies, and Richie‘S Style of Singing Is Vry, Vray Different From Bruce‘s [Dickinson]. I Think has a great singer. “
I have add: “British lion Is not really to metal band, you know? I Mean, It’s Just An exciting Band. I Enjoy Playing In British lion As I want to. “
