Maiden has a history with that, picking replacements pretty much by what's close at hand. Bruce was in the same local touring circuit as Maiden was around the UK/Europe. Same with Nicko, and they were friends already to boot. Janick had just done Tattooed Millionaire with Bruce, and boom, he's in. Blaze had toured with Maiden in the '90s, and Steve was a big fan of his even then. Better singers were passed over for someone whose voice he liked and knew he could get along with. And Simon's probably the laziest pick of them all, pretty much, being from Steve's pub band.
Not that any were bad decisions. Most proved to be great, and one even pivotal to their success. It is a pattern, though.

Wow. That's a stunning image. One of the best live shots from their entire history, I dare say.
