How do you figure that? Dickinson's favourite singer was Gillan back in the day... and I can't see any further similarity really... they both use vibrato and have good ranges.

And as for the twin leads thing, I wouldn't consider that a rip-off - it's just a natural development in guitar. I mean think of how many bands started using it at around the same time. Why is it a crime that Iron Maiden should use the technique later on as well?
