The members of maiden united

 

PAUL DUNCAN

Lead Vocals

This charismatic Scotsman is a talented rock vocalist that can usually be heard on the heavier end of the music world. He has worked on a number of projects that showcase his vocal range, and he’s our secret weapon. It’s not easy to find a singer that can live up to a Maiden fan’s expectations because, let’s face it, matching Bruce Dickinson is not for the faint-hearted. The first time the rest of the band heard Paul hit the high notes on Run to the Hills they knew they had found their man. Not only that, he delivers a damn good representation of Paul Di’Anno as well.

RICH ABRONSON

GUITARS

Playing the parts of guitarist Adrian Smith, Rich discovered Iron Maiden’s Number of the Beast album at summer camp in the early 80’s and has been an Iron Head ever since. The idea for Maiden United originated in Rich’s obsessive mind during the pandemic, but the roots go back to his first high school band that covered The Trooper. Since those early keggers, Rich has played with a number of original hard rock bands over the years including LAMF, It’s Me Margaret, and Dead End Sky. He also formed the popular tribute to the grunge era, X-Nation, and learned a good-sized chunk of Maiden’s set list in another local Maiden tribute band.

Scott Ramsay

GUITARS

The other Scotsman in the band has been rocking stages on guitar in several original and tribute bands and now he gets to do his favorite as Dave Murray. Scott first saw Iron Maiden on the Piece of Mind tour and has not missed an L.A. stop. As the ultimate Maiden fan boy, he even attended 3 of 4 nights at the Long Beach Arena which became the Live After Death album. Scott came up with the band's name because “we are all united under Iron Maiden!”


Danny Knapp

Bass guitar, backing vocals

Known as our own “Steve Hairless”, Danny is a Southern California-based musician and composer, specializing in electric and fretless bass guitar. As a not-so-secret weapon, Danny may lack the flowing mane of Steve Harris, but he knows how to plant that foot on a monitor and machine-gun an audience with the signature Harris gallop. In addition to playing those brutal bass lines, he simultaneously nails the vocal harmonies. Danny is also the bass guitarist for original emo/alternative-rock band We're No Gentlemen as well as several other L.A.-based projects.

Jeff Page

Drums

As Maiden United’s drummer, Jeff is the hard-hitting force who captures the complexity of Clive Burr, Maiden’s first drummer, and the power of Nico McBrain. Probably one of the most in-demand drummers on the SoCal tribute circuit, Jeff currently splits his time with Nerd Halen and the original pop-punk band, Leslie Periera and the Lazy Heroes. Jeff has also played with True to Crue, and a list of Van Halen tributes. He’s also performed on the Emmys with the Remotes, and he was featured on AXS’ World’s Greatest Tribute Bands TV show as the drummer for the incredible Alice in Cooperland.
