Here in Russia we've got a heavy metal band founded in about 1985 and called "Aria". It is widely known here that they tried to imitate Maiden as much as they can (though I personally think that the vocalist - Kipelov - tries to sing like Dio, not Bruce) and even 'stole' some of the songs - either melodies, riffs or lyrics.
This one e.g. is the translation (though a very beautiful one, I even prefer their lyrics to the original) of 22 Acacia Ave, and the music sounds a bit like Wasted years
And this sounds much like Tears of the Dragon
But they also had very good songs like
Kipelov had duos with Udo
And Tarja
Sorry for so many videos, I just want to know your opinion - more of the singer, than of the band. Here in Russia many people are sure Bruce doesn't hold a candle to Kipelov (I'm not among them though).
What do you think of this vocalist? For me he sounds not thick enough (and I like thick voices), though I used to admire him a few yrs ago (before I heard Bruce actually)
