  • This song is an octave higher than what his bariton voice is comfortable with - give him some respect. The band could have tuned down the songs to his range, and then he could had done it great.

  • Hallowed Be Thy Shit

  • Comment removed

  • bruce is the best singer ever, you can´t thing someone will sing better than he, i really don´t like the blaze era, i think andre mattos would be a best singer

  • This is great, I love Blaze. He is great. I love Bruce also, I appreaciate both eras of Maiden and I am going to stop comparing them for this day, Like Black Sabbath cannot compare Ozzy Dio or Tony here Blaze and Bruce are great in there own ways.

  • blaze sings it better then dianno could

  • @MrMatt29999 how could dianno have sang hallow be thy name bruce was apart of the band when they made number of the best

  • hey you people that you judge Blaze,do you have the guts that Blaze had to replace Dickinson as lead vocalist in the biggest heavy metal band??if you were in Blaze's position,would you dare to do it??at Blaze era the most of you,you went to Iron Maiden concerts only to insult and show your ignorance to Blaze...you are fools and you act like mogguls!!!of course Blaze is not Dickinson but he is a perfect vocalist...

  • poor voice.. comparete with Dickinson's voice, this voice is SHIT!!!!!

  • although this song doesnt sound great with blaze, some songs from the X Factor and Virtual Xl are really great...

  • the one thing I can't hold against Blaze is that he tried. he fucking TRIED so hard as Maiden's singer. I have always thought and will always think this era of Maiden is some of the worst, darkest days, but as much as I make fun of him, little of it actually was directly Blaze's fault. the band chose him and paid him to do songs he had no business doing. if any of us John Doe's off the street were offered the spot with no questions asked you know we'd do it in a heartbeat, just like he did

  • @pickitupdlux Couldn't agree more. I think he should have just tried to drop it an octave down and maybe he would have sounded better. He seems to project better when he's not trying to sing like bruce.

  • Epic :3

  • the words escape me when I try to sleet?

  • @BrDa97 to sleep XD

  • Blaze parecia que estaba rapeando, pobresito, quiere hacerle como Bruce y no le sale

  • guys Blaze is awesome!!! For god shake can't you hear the guy...

  • The point is a fan never embraces the idea of his favourite band to change. At this time there was a lot of men standing there waitting for bruce comes out (at least in their minds) and all of sudden who comes out is a man that seemed a 'stage crasher'. I think there´s no relation with music on this discussion, cause Blaze never been a bad singer. Nowadays we see a total different Maiden,most progressive and that never made so similar songs ever and I do not mean this is bad.

  • Nicko is like: ''ive heard enough of you whoawhoa, im gonna start a new song''

    lol

  • Blaze is an average singer,definitive not for maiden,he is off key the whole song, a great singer? he is not. Great singers. Bruce Dickinson Michael Kiske Geoff Tate Tony Harnell Jorn Lande Ronie James and the list goes on. those are great singers to name a few,now....does Blaze compares to them?

  • Blaze is a great singer, but I think its like when your parents have divorced and your mom gets a new boyfriend. Its never gonna be your dad no matter how great he is.

  • @FreebornJohn2 that's so true my friend!

  • @metalheart1987

    thanx, btw I subscribed to your channel, nice one. Cheerz from the Lowlands.

  • @FreebornJohn2 Yes, but in some cases like when Dickinson replaced D'ianno the Dad was an asshole from the beginning so you are much happier with the new person, but that happens in rare cases. Or in other cases such as Black Sabbath you are equally happy with the new arrangement the amazing Blizzard of Ozz Band, and Black Sabbath with Dio.

  • That is a really good way of putting it!!!

  • "The words escape me, when I try to SLEEP" Yes, it is quite common that people don't speak when they are trying to sleep :P

  • He does have the voice for it, but he can't seem to handle singing at a fast pace.

  • he does have the voice for it, he just can't handle the lyrics at a fast pace

  • I'm sorry, but let's face it, Bruce is a better singer. Especially for a song like this

    Blaze is good for songs like Afraid to Shoot Strangers and Virus, but that's about it

  • i knew this was gonna be a disaster when clicked on this video

  • I LOVE THAT SONG!

    HALLOWED BE THY NAME BLAZE

    but i still prefer how Bruce sings

    UP THE IRONS!

  • I love Bruce and I think that he is the true and only voice for Iron Maiden, but Blaze is not bad at all! Their vocal style is very different (Blaze as a more robust and lower-pitched voice) but they still really impress me.  People should give Blaze more credit for singing (and sounding good, although not as good) songs that were made for Bruce.

  • damn audio feed....lol. I probably wont sound half as good as Blaze doing this song....good performance, though.

  • Blaze Bayley IS 'The Man Who Wouldn't Die'.

    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.

    UP THE BLAZE

  • @youthBasher we all know its not justin beaver or the jonas bros haha. UP THE IRONS

  • mi pregunta con el pasar de los años es ....¿ en que rayos pensaba steve harrys al momento de meter a ese payaso?....quiero creer que lo hizo por puro despecho hacia Bruce por abandonar a iron maiden en un gran momento para la banda ..por que la neta ni paul dianno cantaba tan HORRRRRRRRRIBLE ...simplemente ASQUEROSO...parace que estan sacrificando a un borracho

  • @hagenuz no we catnta mejor ke dianno lo ke pacha eske los 90s no era loo mejor pa los de metal clasico todo estaba con nirvana o metallica desgasiadamente jeje pero canta bien y otra cosa no tiene la misma vos ke bruce jeje eso e smas ke notorio

  • @hevy15 como va a cantar mejor que dianno jajajajajaja... paul puso la base para iron maiden con soundhouse tapes , iron maiden y killers muy buenos albumes ..vamos hasta phil anselmo de pantera tenia una voz bastante fresca y buena en los 90 ..pero este tipo paso sin pena ni gloria ..deberias ver el video donde canta con doro fear of the dark , quiere cantar como tenor , solo , exibe su evidente deficit de garganta ..saludos

  • terrible.. he sings out of tune.. bizarre

  • i would like to hear anyone on youtube attempt this song it' a bloody hard they couldn't do half as good a job as blaze leave the man alone although bruce does sound better on this track blaze stil did a good job

  • very interesting to hear a song made for Dickinson, but Dickinson RULES, Blaze Bayley no tiene el nivel de Dickinson al menos para la voz altisima no significa q no sea mal cantante solo q Dickinson es mucho mejor para MAIDEN

  • its kinda hard to compare the two at least live considering that the quality for most(if not all) blazes live stuff is shit while u can find good maiden

  • blaze is awesome

  • Comment removed

  • haha, nicko got so tired of him standing there WOOOOAH so he just started ;p

  • Right ;d

  • 2:36-2:39  words escape me when i try to SLEEP. rofl

  • bruce all the way wi vocals - far superior than Blaze!!! \m/

  • amazing!

  • Iron Maiden,Killers,The Number of the Beast,Piece of Mind,Powerslave, Somewhere in Time,7th son of a 7th son, No Prayer for the Dying,Fear of The Dark, The X- Factor,Virtual XI,Brave New World.

    Pure Heavy Metal F**k the Rest and F**k you all.

    *FUCK THE CHURCH

  • dance of death, a matter of live and death

  • i got a lil confused cause on the dvd iron maiden: visions of the beast, afraid to shoot strangers was sung by blaze but the cd was with bruce

  • @LeVyBoYx69 , that was a live version, whith was mixed as a video ;). Still the original version was sung by Bruce

  • oh yeah sorry

  • Afraid to shoot stranger was Bruce's song.

  • @LeVyBoYx69 Your first four words explain it all. You are only 14 years old so you are forgiven. But don't fool yourself kid, you are not a real Maiden fan yet. I hope that when you grow up, you will be able to tell what is good music and you will understand the complete greatness of Iron Maiden. Until then keep rocking.

  • I love Blaze's voice, but this one kinda sucked :/ There's a verson of this song in Sao Paulo 1996, wich he does an AMAZING JOB

  • it sounds slower

  • A great singer.... but he should stop saying cmon all the time...

    BTW hallowed was really made for bruce's voice

  • its a pity the videos that actually show how talented a vocalist blaze is are hard to find,

  • Blaze is better vocalist, This sounds better with him, but what a pity that this is live, the studio versions are better, I don't like Dickinson's very high voice sometimes,but he is good too.

  • blaze is a real good vocalist

  • Most of the songs Blaze Bayley did of the Bruce Dickinson era did not sound right. But I think this one sounds really good. I gues it depends on the song.

  • Comment removed

  • UP THE BLAZE!!!!!!!!! hes an amazing Singer a i dont give a shit if someone is comparing him to Bruce cause they are on a similar level of singing ....and btw hes a really great person!!! ....

  • sorry dude, of course its your right to like blaze and to even prefer him over bruce but its a fact that they aren't even CLOSE to a "similar level of singing"

    btw: i think blaze only hit (more or less) the notes in this version because they made the song a step or something lower for him.

  • Have to disagree... Obviously Blaze hasn't as much technique as Bruce, he hasn't even a similar voice range, but he gave his best (that's not slight) and put a lot of strength on his voice. He didn't hit some notes because he naturally CAN'T with his voice range. Even so he did pretty well with a huge effort.

    Bruce has an astonishing high-pitched voice.. which doesn't means it's better than Blaze's, just shocks us more and sounds more metal.

  • Ja vi nego cantar mal esse classico, mas assassinar a musica nunca!

  • Good thing that he left maiden :D

  • this sounds like a fucking cover... lol guess not every one can be bruce:P

  • certo che anche i colleghi non l'aiutavano quel povero blaze la suonavano anche piu' veloce che in studio..

  • I actually like this better than bruces live versions of this song. Bruce is great in the studio, but to me he never seems to be able to reproduce it well live.

  • what!? bruce is amazing live. look at the 80s footage, he kicks anyone's ass. and even in the recent concerts he hits every note beautifully.

  • yeah dude, I think bruce is a better singer now, like revelations flight 666, but he cant hit those way high "Teenager" notes

  • well yeah he can't hit where eagles dare or aces perfectly, but he still beats any metal singer of the day. :D

  • I Think that Blaze is great , but , obiusly , bruce is the vocalist for iron maiden . I Dont think that Blaze's work with maiden is bad ... is very good, but underated

    Up The Irons !

  • i like blaze's voice in wolfsbane, not good for maiden, he says " words escape me when i try to sleep" the orig lyric is "when i try to speak" i notice he butchers the lyrics quite a bit. how did steve let this go on for 6 years.

  • This is a good definition of word TRAGEDY...

    Uma boa definição para a palavra TRAGÉDIA.

    This was must be forbiden.

    Blaze deveria ter sido proibido de cantar HBTN.

  • i really dont like this version, i personally think bruce is better by far

    but again is just a personal opinnion

    and im not saying blaze is bad ainger, i like the clansman

    but bruce is the master!!!!!!!!

    up bruce dickinson!!!

    up the irons!!!!!!!!

  • it's not so bad, but Dickinson's symphonic way of singing lets me amazed. It's awesome.

  • Needs bruce no way around it.

  • cool

  • another amazing performance by bayley, almost as good as the studio version

    fuck those who say he cant sing bruce songs,

    when hes allergieswerent affecting him there was nothing he couldnt do,

  • come on he had just one allergies in a show only one but heavy metal needs blaze bruce hetfield everyone think paul is the only one fucked of the irons blaze has a crowd im ther up the irons

  • he had them alot actually,

    they had to cancel 12 or so shows during this tour because of them,

  • If wanting Nicko to play Clive's parts the way they deserve to played makes me insane than so be it. His overuse of that damned ride cymbal is pathetic.

  • The way Nicko plays Clive Burr era material pisses me off. I'd like to shove his ride cymbal where the sun doesn't shine. He ruined it again.

  • You're insane.

  • come the fuck on show some respect for blaze!

    Bes honest and admit he sings it better than bruce did on some of his tours before he paused with maiden(such as the Real Live Tour). I'l probably be downrated but who cares, this is my opinion.

  • i agree man u are right

  • @zelenojamcan my friend.i dont agree with you.what you're sayin is that blaze sings Hallowed Be thy Name better than Bruce? no way men.listen to the Live After Death .hallowed be thy name, children of the damned, infinte dreams, rime of the ancinet mariner and most of their songs are written to be sung by Bruce.HE is the voice of Iron Maiden

    imagine Ozzy singing Heaven and Hell

    or imagine DIO had sung Crazy Train before he died

    it wouldnt be nice

  • @zelenojamcan even the lord of the flies is much better in death on the road than it is in x factor... and futureal... i prefer to listen to it by bruce, than bale... he never had a voice that could suit to the iron maiden music... but that doesnt mean that he aint a good singer...

  • @zelenojamcan You're kidding?

  • @zelenojamcan lol...your goodrated... nice comments

  • I love Blaze's Voice, more Than Bruce's One. With Maiden he somethimes sounded tired because he had to sing too much songs out of his natural range every night! They should have stepped down a semitone or a whole tone. Blaze is a baritone, Bruce is a tenor, that's the difference . I love this version of HBTN...He sounds forced in some notes but he has a lot of passion and the intro is just perfect!

  • i dont know what Steve think in the moment when he hired Blaze?

  • Wow!! what's that guitar dave's using?

  • Fender Stratocaster with Floyd Rose Tremolo

  • Its a Jackson strat with a Floyd Rose tremolo system. I believe he used it in their 1990-1996 period. great guitar indeed.

  • Blaze sucks bigtime, he has never been and will never be a good metal singer, or any other kind of singer for that matter.

    are you guys kidding ? you must be kidding

  • he keeps messing up the lyrics, and his voice is annoying at the high parts, i hate blaze

  • what? Blaze is just great.

  • Blaze was a good singer in wrong band. Tho he acually did good on this one.

  • who was first in the band? who is in the band right know? bruce or blaze?

  • Paul Di'anno (79-81)

    Bruce Dickinson (81-93)

    Blaze Bayley (94-99)

    Bruce Dickinson (99-Now)

  • yeah i hope that after bruce retires they get blaze back, his voice is even more awesome now,

  • Blaze sings here very well..it's a very hard song to sing..he always did the best!!respect!!

  • how is it possible to make fun of him because he cant sing run to the hills? can you?

    NO NO YOU CANT!

  • Blaze (trying) to sing this song was one of the most torturing moments of the metal mid 90's. I've seen it during Monster of Rock '96 and I know what I'm talking about...

  • no you don;t

  • holy SHIT i was expectin this video to suck.. blaze actually did REALLY good on this song. if he had used that kind of voice on the X factor, virtual XI, and virus, they would be more popular. he was DEFINITELY holding back on the albums. this sounds fucking AWESOME.

  • when bruce came to maiden the band changed for ever but when bayley came to maiden they sucked!

  • Unfortunatelly you're right bro.

  • Blaze Bayley is a good vocalist, but his stage presence is shit

  • every band goes through a slump in my opinion this was Maiden's but they still in this period were kicking everybodys ass that goes to show they ARE the best metal band PERIOD

  • blaze stai a casa, e fammi un piacere... stai zitto.

  • high notes in here were horrible

  • How to replace the best singer of metal in the world?

    Do not give my friend. Bruce is the Pele of music. Blaze is the Paul Ince.

  • iron maiden are my favourite band by far but i have to say the absolute king of the metal voice is dio over bruce.

  • well... this is good and hes voice is good but bruce is best :D his voice...i love it

  • I appreciate as a fan.

  • why did blaze leave iron maiden

  • I really actually haven't found an exact answer to this, I've always wondered about this. I think it might of been because he was sick of being compared to Bruce. Also, he was singing a lot of songs that weren't really meant for his vocal style. This is why he never sang Run to the Hills live, and I think his version of the trooper was horrible. But there was some songs he was really good at like Afraid to Shoot Strangers, I think he does it better then Bruce.

  • thaenks for the information

  • cause fans were bitching about him, personally i liked him

  • why did they bruce leave iron maiden?

  • Blaze is a good singer but Bruce is better.

  • blaze is good singer too..(^_^)

  • were can i find blaze bayley singing run to the hills?

  • He never sang Run To The Hills!

  • Anywhere. Is seriously, the former set list was very restricted by obvious difficulties of Blaze.

  • Blaze looks like Danzig! deep voice,bodystructure and everything

  • try to do it by yourself,bastard!

  • I can't, I just think an Iron Maiden singer should be able to. Calm the fuck down.

  • Run To The hills doesn't match his singing style.

  • I know mate, I'm just saying I think they should have picked a singer who had a similar range to Bruce. That's all.

  • Blaze Rocks people praising Machine head version of Hallowed which is Mediocre Great Performance Blaze

  • This rendition isn't that bad. Don't hate on Blaze, Iron Maiden weren't forced to pick him.

  • whats that ? Bayley f..k !!

  • Blaze is not good at singing some of the Bruce songs, such as this one. I think he's ok on Xfactor and Virtual Xi but on songs like Hallowed, he is poor.

    His stage presence is crap too.

  • Guys, if you do not accept Blaze Bayley into Iron Maiden, you seriously don't accept Iron Maiden. THAT'S simple.

  • good job by Blaze

  • Bottom line: Bruce is a tenor, Blaze is a baritone. Bruce can't sing as low as Blaze. Blaze can't sing as high as Bruce. It's simple.

    Both have have amazing voices, and comparing them is like comparing apples and oranges.

  • me gusta blaze, pero no se compara con dickinson, ni por cerca, que se yo, puede que algunos me den la razon y otros no, pero hay que reconocer que dickinson es dickinson...

    UP THE IRONS!

  • When Blaze came in maiden he had a impossible mission to please the fans who wait that his singing would be like Bruce. He's great vocalist, u should listen his newest solo album Blood an Belief. It's pretty cool. Not as cool as maiden but cool enough..

  • I completely agree with you but his newest album is The man who would not die, brother.

  • la neta es que blaze es una chingoneria, si hubiera estado el antes que dickinson dirian que blaze es mejor, aun así los dos estan a la altura para ester en iron maiden

  • jahjahah pobre pendejo fijate bien lo que estas diciendo imbecil quieres decir que si en helloween hubiera estado antes andi deris fuera mejor que kiske? es casi la misma comparacion me das lastima pobre diablo ignorante!!

  • so am i

  • I cant belive they chose Balze too replace Bruce.

    Blaze are pretty good but he cant replace Bruce

    Bruce is the god!

    Up the irons!

  • of all the people they could of got to replace bruce... i mean judas priest had to replace halford but ripper owen is at least on par with halford in voice range
