The group got most of its attention playing with Iron Maiden, but this backfired when Bruce Bruce left Samson to join them, adopting his real name (the pseudonym was a joke conceived by other members of the band and their management that Bruce was never entirely comfortable with). Thunderstick had also left the group at this point, and the band underwent several personnel turnovers over the course of the '80s. The band Samson has recorded and toured under numerous other names throughout the years including Paul Samson, Paul Samson's Empire, Metallic Blue, and Joint Forces. Note: Samson made an appearance in the 1980 horror film "The Incubus" Birth dates: Paul Sanson aka Samson (4th June 1953) R.I.P. 9th August 2002 (IMG:http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/2721/samsongbrphoto.jpg) Discography: Samson - Mr Rock And Roll [single] - 1978 Samson - Telephone [single] - 1978 Samson - Mr Rock 'n' Roll / Primrose Shuffle [single] - 1979 Samson - Survivors [full-length] - 1979 Samson - Hard Times [single] - 1980 Samson - Vice Versa [single] - 1980 Samson - Head On [full-length] - 1980 Samson - Riding With The Angels [single] - 1981 Samson - Shock Tactics [full-length] - 1981 Samson - Life On The Run [single] - 1982 Samson - Losing My Grip [single] - 1982 Samson - Red Skies [single] - 1982 Samson - Before The Storm [full-length] - 1982 Samson - Red Skies / Living, Loving, Lying [single] - 1983 Samson - Last Rites [best of/compilation] - 1984 Samson - Mr Rock And Roll [ep] - 1984 Samson - Are You Ready?
