I has to admit that Blaze has great voice for me. He can easily sing those deep and dark songs. However... I wish in future songs the main focus would be laid on his voice not on guitar riffs .... His voice is drown in music.
I like Blaze. There is no point in comparing him to Bruce Dickinson because, as it was stated several times already, they've got different vocal styles, and each is very good in their own way.
As for this song... I just loved it! Gonna look for more of his solo works. Just pure awesomeness.
I suppose one of the good things about having a limited range like Blaze does is that, when you get older, you don't have to worry about losing range. He sounds just as good here as on Silicon Messiah.
This band was arguably one of the best Metal bands ever, if not the best. And they've broken up 4 weeks ago because they didn't make enough money and didn't have a proper and dedicated manager to help them to gain the succes that they would have diserved. Not enough people coming to their concerts, and so not enough money.That's the sad truth...so unfair...People prefer spend 60€ and go and see Maiden, Metallica etc...Do this bands make better music than Blaze and his mates? I'm not sure...

Man i really feel bad for Blaze Bayley and Tim Ripper Owens !!!! they're both great singers who were in the wrong bands at the wrong time !!!! so they're always compared with the gods they replaced temporally !!! actually that happened for Owens twice!!!
Blaze is awesome. Even though he was not a great fit with Maiden I still loved the 2 concerts I was at the times they came to Copenhagen. What I remember from those concerts most is that he had an excellent rapport with the crowd.
i was talking to a guy once in the old jb's (dudley)(about 1995ish) while waiting to be served.one of the lads told me it was blaze.....i think the bands playing that night were 'clandestine' and 'skyclad'.
Blaze's solo stuff kicks ass. I was lucky to meet him and talk to him after a show. He's a great personality, and he deserves to be respected. all fags who are bashing him because of the maiden days should burn in hell, because blaze has the biggest balls anyway.
Gotta admit, Blaze has a little Graham Bonnett timbre in his voice... Just a little bit. He just need to work on his voice control and sustain...There were times he is off-key.... The Tenth Dimension is his best album, in my opinion.
Blaze rules, Thanks man for putting those great songs. Blaze has amazing unique voice you hardly find in any heavy metallers. Blaze Rules always. Hell Yeah
Not a fan of his studd with Maiden AT ALL........BUT ......THIS SHIT IS SOLID GOLD!!!!!!!!................(btw i do like the tune "man on the edge" that was done with blaze and maiden"
Wow Blaze is great! I thought he was crap with Maiden, but i guess thats just because he was living in Bruce's shadow. Loving this music though :) UP THE IRONS!
He is legend, he got screwed by life and he got up on his feet again, standing tall and proud. He is my inspiration and, by the way, his last two albums are great metal masterpieces. Only time will tell who are the good musicians and who are not. Listen and believe. His spirit lives in his music and it will help you to get through your own life better.
@youthBasher You're completely right ! Blaze and his band are legend, and his last two albums are just fantastic ! The Man who wouldn't die is my favorite metal album, it contains 12 classics of Metal, 12 masterpiece, and as Blaze says about this album: "we had the sneaking suspicion that we were doing something that we could be proud of". Sure you did Blaze ! Long live to this fantastic band, cant' wait to see them live again with many more studio albums to come !

It would've have been great if Blaze opened up for Maiden then have Blaze sing his songs with Maiden too along with Bruce. Surprised they didn't think of this ? I love both Bruce and Blaze.
Blayze`s voise is`nt idelly for Iron Maiden but albums with him I really like... Bruce`s voice is but better for Iron Maiden. This is the true for Blaze and is AMAZING!!
@castmanix just my opinion,you understand,but on it seems that because this is HIS band he can be more in control of everything,including style,pitch,arrangements,etc,so he can get into a more natural,suitable groove and be more comfortable. i was totally in support of him when he came to maiden,and think he left a great legacy,e.g. clansman,2 AM,look for the truth,sign of the x,man on the edge. and of course he helped them continue on as a band until the miracle return of adrian and bruce.
I love Bruce Dickinson, but I must admit, this is a pretty excellent track. Of course, I kind of like the Blaze Maiden albums, too, even though I was glad that Bruce came back to Maiden. I think it's useless arguing about who's best. Each of the singers has been good for Iron Maiden at their particular time. (I don't think Di'Anno is very good any more, though...)
The x factor was actually full of good stuff...too many OOOOOOHHHOOOOOHHHS in there but otherwise the atmosphere Bayley created with Harris and his dark arpegios was pretty good. Problem is there was a feel that they were trying to imitate Bruce Dickinson and fans couldnt accept Blaze easily after Bruce. .Then I got the impression that Maiden produced albums for tha sake of it after that.
AMOLAD was dull IMO. Don't get the whole 'progressive' talk. it's just old riffs and melodies rearranged and slapped together. it's just inspired and lazy to my ears and reeks of pure tedium. 'Brave New World' at least had decent and memorable hooks and choruses but killed the effect with the running time. the songs were too long for what they were.
i have no problem with Maiden writing longer songs. I enjoy all the old epics from the 80's and even 'Sign Of The Cross'.
i am talking about the intro only,if not the same technique but it's the same idea now i am not going to say that they stole it from them but it happens that when u write a song it could be similar to other songs
Yes. Very. Compare this album to the Tenth Dimension, you can hear the difference. The distortion is over saturated and you can hardly hear the mids and lows.
Unlike kryshen2, I've always had a good opinion about Blaze, and especially when he was part of Maiden.They recorded two good albums, and he was the right person at the right time..And eventually, ten years after, he releases his fourth solo album, the fantastic "The man who wouldn't die', which is one of the best metal albums of all the times, and Blaze a great singer. He rules the metal !!
I never really had a high opnion of Blaze, mostly because his work with Maiden... well, it disgusted me. But this impresses me a lot more. He has a good voice, and the guitar is pretty great to boot. Very crunchy.
Blaze is not for maiden, i like he singing lord of the flies, but, the rest are not so good for him... This song is cool. im gonna hear some others blaze's songs.
Another reason Blaze didn't really fit with Maiden is because he is a Baritone where both Paul Di'Anno and Bruce Dickinson are Tenors. I don't see why Steve Harris didn't get another Tenor to replace Bruce and instead of a Baritone.
Blaze solo material is simply amazing!!! I liked his maiden stuff because he brought a new dimension to maiden at the time and it was different- although not everyone liked it. But hey, can't please everyone!!!
As for Blaze, the silicon messiah album is all gold as the tenth dimension and the man who would not die is so good!!! he is a brilliant singer/writer!! I just hope he keeps going because Debbie would be proud!! :-D
the main reason that blaze's voice wasnt quite the right fit for maiden is simply because they refuse to tune down, they, along with king diamond and mercyful fate, are just a small few bands that stay in standard tuning since their beginning days to now, which you can respect but i sometimes wonder what it would sound like if it was tuned lower. dio does it, ozzy does, halford has...even bruce did on some of his solo stuff...now imagine the king singing his stuff a whole step lower lol
Yeah, Three Inches of Blood plays in standard too, I like it so much more than drop d, and drop c, and every other damn drop key. it just sounds more powerful, to me, anyways
Because Steve Harris writes most to all of Maiden's stuff and he wanted to stay within the formula. If they let Blaze write songs for X Factor and Virtual XI or if Harris arranged and wrote songs that fit Blaze's voice they would have had classic albums, but instead he wrote standard Maiden songs that would be better suited if Bruce sang them and if Adrian helped write them.
I hate to say it but you are right.... you're the first person to say that... it's true... unfortunately. I don't know all the words to a single maiden song after Brave New World (fantastic album btw). They're too slow and quiet, all are slow start and are 6:30+ in length- TOO LONG!!! Rime kicked ass, for quality and length, but these newer songs are borefests....
@GrandeInquisitor Are you deaf or what? A Matter of Life and Death is probably the heaviest Maiden album ever. And I really like the long songs. They are true epics, full of melody, rhythm changes, awesome instrumental parts and everything. Borefests are the Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Solo-Chorus type of songs, always the same thing. Few bands can make many interesting songs of this kind, Blaze being one of them. But seriously, new Maiden rules too, if you like X-Factor you can't dislike AMOLAD.
It's all a matter of opinion there friend, no need to start the mud slinging. Benjamin Breeg and These Colors Don't Run are good songs, I'm not saying it's not good music. But it's not great for Iron Maiden standards. Don't get me wrong, they are my favorite band without doubt, I know the lyrics to nearly 90% of all their stuff up to No Prayer For The Dying, and that's only because I don't want to blow through NPFTD and FotD. All I meant was Blaze is putting out better music since BNW- IMO.
@GrandeInquisitor Imo the new albums (especially AMOLAD) are at least as good as the old ones but they are not that catchy and take some time to grow on you. The problem is most people judge from the first couple of listenings. Blaze puts out great music as well, but I don't like to compare bands like sports teams and say one is better than the other. Anyway, what's your opinion about Blaze's albums with Maiden?
I thought they were fantastic, liked The X Factor a little more though, loved the themes. Also, that's just it, they aren't catchy, I like intricate music but Maiden really isn't the same anymore, I think the biggest problem is slower tempo overall, and a variety of song lengths and style. I also like the first 2 Maiden albums, they were fantastic, but you can't really look at the 3 major eras as being the same band to really enjoy it. Since BNW I just haven't heard anything that speaks to me.
As already said, Blaze is a great singer but the old maiden work didn't suit his voice. The work maiden did with Blaze he performs with excellent skill. Some of maidens best work is from his area in the band. Sign of the cross, The Clansman and a whole lot of other songs is just so great...
You know, if they just played their old songs tuned one step down, it would probably have been a hell of a lot easier for Bailey, and given their technical level, it wouldn't have been too hard to transcript... oh well, it was still cool.
blazes solo albums are generally more consistant than the majority of maidens work,
for instances the man who would not die completely smokes the majority of there overated "golden years" material and no prayer for the dying to fear of the dark,
Here is where we hear what Blaze can do. I dont know why Maiden chose him for a frontman, Bruce is classed as a tenor, whereas Blaze is a baritone, so how he could have been expected to sing a maiden song in the first place i dont know. Theres a vid on here where he sings the trooper, but tunes the guitars down, you should hear how well he sings it when the guitars are down on his level. Great.
oh yeah i forgot he was really maiden's frontman! he was their frontman in the nineties wasn't he? for the first was paul di'anno and the second was bruce dickinson, weren't they?
yea but he only did 2 albums and one single with maiden the sign of the cross was 95 then virtual11 was 98 and virus in 99 i think . then they got rid of him and bruce came back ..by the way both his albums are fucking amazing go chek them out..
nah what the fuck am i saying . sorry its the x factor not the sign off the cross . the sign off the cross is proberly the best iron maiden song tho .. ever
Wow! He's great!

The x factor was actually full of good stuff...too many OOOOOOHHHOOOOOHHHS in there but otherwise the atmosphere Bayley created with Harris and his dark arpegios was pretty good. Problem is there was a feel that they were trying to imitate Bruce Dickinson and fans couldnt accept Blaze easily after Bruce. .Then I got the impression that Maiden produced albums for tha sake of it after that.

AMOLAD was dull IMO. Don't get the whole 'progressive' talk. it's just old riffs and melodies rearranged and slapped together. it's just inspired and lazy to my ears and reeks of pure tedium. 'Brave New World' at least had decent and memorable hooks and choruses but killed the effect with the running time. the songs were too long for what they were.
i have no problem with Maiden writing longer songs. I enjoy all the old epics from the 80's and even 'Sign Of The Cross'.

Blaze really developed after Maiden.
In Maiden I think he was hold back by Harris for the most time and couldn't really do much stuff on the records.

And I thought he sounded good with Iron Maiden! This is certainly the best song I've heard so far on this album.

Guitar mix sounds a little thin... Nevertheless, good song. I still prefer the Tenth Dimension though.

Yes. Very. Compare this album to the Tenth Dimension, you can hear the difference. The distortion is over saturated and you can hardly hear the mids and lows.

Unlike kryshen2, I've always had a good opinion about Blaze, and especially when he was part of Maiden.They recorded two good albums, and he was the right person at the right time..And eventually, ten years after, he releases his fourth solo album, the fantastic "The man who wouldn't die', which is one of the best metal albums of all the times, and Blaze a great singer. He rules the metal !!
nozzie66 2 years ago 12
I never really had a high opnion of Blaze, mostly because his work with Maiden... well, it disgusted me. But this impresses me a lot more. He has a good voice, and the guitar is pretty great to boot. Very crunchy.

Another reason Blaze didn't really fit with Maiden is because he is a Baritone where both Paul Di'Anno and Bruce Dickinson are Tenors. I don't see why Steve Harris didn't get another Tenor to replace Bruce and instead of a Baritone.
Gonboo 2 years ago
Blaze solo material is simply amazing!!! I liked his maiden stuff because he brought a new dimension to maiden at the time and it was different- although not everyone liked it. But hey, can't please everyone!!!
As for Blaze, the silicon messiah album is all gold as the tenth dimension and the man who would not die is so good!!! he is a brilliant singer/writer!! I just hope he keeps going because Debbie would be proud!! :-D
holysmoke84 2 years ago 6
the main reason that blaze's voice wasnt quite the right fit for maiden is simply because they refuse to tune down, they, along with king diamond and mercyful fate, are just a small few bands that stay in standard tuning since their beginning days to now, which you can respect but i sometimes wonder what it would sound like if it was tuned lower. dio does it, ozzy does, halford has...even bruce did on some of his solo stuff...now imagine the king singing his stuff a whole step lower lol

why maiden didnt go this way when they were with blaze?
Pablin2k 2 years ago 2
Because Steve Harris writes most to all of Maiden's stuff and he wanted to stay within the formula. If they let Blaze write songs for X Factor and Virtual XI or if Harris arranged and wrote songs that fit Blaze's voice they would have had classic albums, but instead he wrote standard Maiden songs that would be better suited if Bruce sang them and if Adrian helped write them.

better than any music from Iron after Brave New World...

I hate to say it but you are right.... you're the first person to say that... it's true... unfortunately. I don't know all the words to a single maiden song after Brave New World (fantastic album btw). They're too slow and quiet, all are slow start and are 6:30+ in length- TOO LONG!!! Rime kicked ass, for quality and length, but these newer songs are borefests....
UP THE BLAZE!!!!
GrandeInquisitor 2 years ago
@GrandeInquisitor Are you deaf or what? A Matter of Life and Death is probably the heaviest Maiden album ever. And I really like the long songs. They are true epics, full of melody, rhythm changes, awesome instrumental parts and everything. Borefests are the Verse-Chorus-Verse-Chorus-Solo-Chorus type of songs, always the same thing. Few bands can make many interesting songs of this kind, Blaze being one of them. But seriously, new Maiden rules too, if you like X-Factor you can't dislike AMOLAD.
metalrules13 2 years ago 3
It's all a matter of opinion there friend, no need to start the mud slinging. Benjamin Breeg and These Colors Don't Run are good songs, I'm not saying it's not good music. But it's not great for Iron Maiden standards. Don't get me wrong, they are my favorite band without doubt, I know the lyrics to nearly 90% of all their stuff up to No Prayer For The Dying, and that's only because I don't want to blow through NPFTD and FotD. All I meant was Blaze is putting out better music since BNW- IMO.
GrandeInquisitor 2 years ago
@GrandeInquisitor Imo the new albums (especially AMOLAD) are at least as good as the old ones but they are not that catchy and take some time to grow on you. The problem is most people judge from the first couple of listenings. Blaze puts out great music as well, but I don't like to compare bands like sports teams and say one is better than the other. Anyway, what's your opinion about Blaze's albums with Maiden?
metalrules13 2 years ago
I thought they were fantastic, liked The X Factor a little more though, loved the themes. Also, that's just it, they aren't catchy, I like intricate music but Maiden really isn't the same anymore, I think the biggest problem is slower tempo overall, and a variety of song lengths and style. I also like the first 2 Maiden albums, they were fantastic, but you can't really look at the 3 major eras as being the same band to really enjoy it. Since BNW I just haven't heard anything that speaks to me.

As already said, Blaze is a great singer but the old maiden work didn't suit his voice. The work maiden did with Blaze he performs with excellent skill. Some of maidens best work is from his area in the band. Sign of the cross, The Clansman and a whole lot of other songs is just so great...
Bagarn84 2 years ago 4
You know, if they just played their old songs tuned one step down, it would probably have been a hell of a lot easier for Bailey, and given their technical level, it wouldn't have been too hard to transcript... oh well, it was still cool.
Great song here, Bayley is great.

costabra84 2 years ago
i strongly disagree,
blazes solo albums are generally more consistant than the majority of maidens work,
for instances the man who would not die completely smokes the majority of there overated "golden years" material and no prayer for the dying to fear of the dark,
mrfenderbenderman 2 years ago
Here is where we hear what Blaze can do. I dont know why Maiden chose him for a frontman, Bruce is classed as a tenor, whereas Blaze is a baritone, so how he could have been expected to sing a maiden song in the first place i dont know. Theres a vid on here where he sings the trooper, but tunes the guitars down, you should hear how well he sings it when the guitars are down on his level. Great.
