@ironmaiden1317 im not trying to start anything but its not a factor that poeple may not like him it could be that certain songs dont suit him as well as they do bruce. take ac/dc for example certain songs dont fit with brian johnson voice but were amazing with bon scotts. so you really cant tell people who to like as a singer or not.so there is no point in trying to "threaten" anyone into like someone they feel that doesnt have the right voice for the right song
I do not understand why fans get so animated about who is better vocalist. This song was written with Blaze's vocal abilities in mind and he delivers a solid performance.
Credit where its due...............Steve Harris is such an awesome song writer that he can tailor material to each vocalists style.
What a fantastic group........been following them since the early 80's. Each lead singer has brought something unique to Maidens sound.
my persoanl opinion hope it dont affend but blazze is an excellent but i think it just dosent match maidens music blaze sounds great in wolfsbane but in maiden my least favorite ear i still do respect his contribution but i would like to see paul come back do some shows a few shows u know or do covers of bruces song i think he would do good with like trooper run to the hills and hallowed be thy name oh and 2 minutes none the les up the irons!
Wow that Maiden concert looked extremely heavy and powerful. That song is like a steroid blast. I always enjoyed the 2 CDs with blaze just as much as Dickinson or Di'anno. Maiden usually writes their songs around the current singer they have. So it totally makes sense.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sorry chaps. It AINT Maiden without Bruce. Blaze doesnt fit this at all....AT ALL. sounds cheapened without bruce. like a high school singer at a battle of the bands.
This is Blaze's signature song. Bruce has The Trooper and Hallowed Be Thy Name and countless other songs. Nobody's saying that Blaze is better than Bruce (except for the people who are actually saying that xp but that's beside the point). Irrespective of who the singer is, it's still a kick-ass song. You shouldn't hate the song just because you hate the singer.
as far as i can tell..seen maiden live god knows how many times and its rare to hear the crowd above the band unless bruce just said SCREAM FOR ME..but yeah blaze is pretty damn good on his own material..did some pretty neat
tracks with maiden and wolfsbane were awesome live the few times i got to see them supporting maiden on the no prayer for the dying tour
gota admit that was amazingly similar to the studio version of the song....either all is not as it seems or blaze is really good at singing his own material
holy shit, ive been listening to a few blaze bayley songs from when he was in iron maiden,
and i have to admit he does futureal fucking awsomely.... is awesomly a word? i sometimes wonder if most things i say are real things... like the other day.. oh wait you dont care never mind
fuck you, he never said blaze wasnt, ive haerd some shit songs from blaze, why do you gotta be a faggot to nameyes when he was just saying some positive towards blaze? fuck you vincent
9/10 people who comment slam other people, nothing new here. They are the ones who are jerking off all over themselves in their mothers basements, or perhaps little kiddies that have nothing better to do and have poor reading skills.
LOL Am I the ONLY one who realized this is a Live Vid recorded over with the Studio Version of Futureal? Ah well. I have a bootleg of this, and Blaze does it freakin' awesome, anyways, actually pretty similar to Studio, just more..Hm..LIVE. Haha. Blaze, Paul, Bruce, Dave, Janick, Adrian, Nicko, and Rod Smallwood for life!
Blaze sucked ass and everyone except a few peeps agrees with it. He never got to fill in Bruce's shoes because he simply isn't good enough. His voice is monochordic and he sounds like he is inside a fish tank most of the times. This futureal is arguably his best song and Bruce does it better anyway. All is subjective but sales are not and Bruce just wipes the floor with Blaze's albums.
Blaze is an awesome singer. Period. His vocal range is too low for older Iron Maiden songs, like Run to the Hills, which if I'm correct was omitted during his era from tours.
His voice perfectly fits The X Factor's haunting dark sound. Virtual XI was a disappointment though. Not the top notch song writing Maiden is used to.
he sings it good, but bruce has more power behide his voice.. i only found mys elf taping my feet.. when i hear bruces voice.. i cant he;p but to head back, and same goes for megadeth and acdc im not sayign hes bad, cuz he can sing but bruce does it better,
why dont you all just stop comparing them all, blaze di anno and brucey sing better than anyone commenting about them so just shut the fuck up and enjoy maiden!
At the beginning, I didn't liked the songs from the Bayley-era, but now I love to listen to the Virtual XI album. X Factor is in my opinion less better than Virtual XI, but also has some really great songs I listen very often. 'Man on the Edge', 'Lord of the Flies' & 'Sign of the Cross' for example.
I agree with the people that say Bayley fails live on stage on some songs.
Yeah, Blaze's work was decent, but, to me, wasn't real Maiden. However, I do like his work. I own Virtual XI as well as The X-Factor. I agree with MotorheadNL, Virus was a pretty cool song.
xagaroth's parents must be related,because his comment that blaze's new band will be more known than maiden is retarded talk. I like Blaze,but do not be so retarded
Why do everybody think that Blaze is better than Bruce? Blaze can`t sing! Someone heard The Trooper whith Blaze vocal? Bruce Dickinson are the only singer Iron Maiden could have. Whithout him, it isn`t Iron Maiden. Blaze are just a fucked up man who thinks he sings well, but he just spoils every song he is singing in, exept from Man On The Edge and Futureal.
Ppl should stop comparing Blaze to Bruce. The X Factor and Virtual XI would have sounded like shit w/ Bruce. Seriously, No Prayer for the Dying and Fear of the Dark werent terribly great at all. for example, Blaze does Afraid to Shoot Strangers WAY better than the original by Bruce on Fear of the Dark. But, Bruce does stuff like The Trooper and other Maiden classics a lot better. As for Di'Anno, well he just sucks.
Reason why i like more blaze than dickinson before virtual XI iron maiden has lost their old style and gone bad. On x factor and XI they had new fresh style and it fucking ROCKED! now... Wildest dreams or different world. Doesen't sound Maiden. You CAN'T compare blaze and dickinson, they sing very different ways.
Blaze was all right, but Bruce was better. As some other guy said, its a bit hard stepping into the shoes of a singer that was there for 12 years, of course there is going to be some prejudice. But to give Blaze credit, he sang with passion, and tried his hardest, but he just couldn't top Bruce.
Blaze wuznt bad but when u step into the shoes of sumone who fronted the band for 12 yrs. especialy Bruce Dickenson ppl r gonna bitch no matter wut u do, Michale Graves found out the same thing after he wuz in The Misfits
Maiden is my all time favourite band but your wrong in saying this is not the real Maiden, i agree bruce is the best but he is not Maiden Steve Harris is!
He did, on the Ed Hunter '99 tour. There's a recording of it on the single of 'The Wicker Man'. This single also contains a live recording of another Blaze song (Man on the Edge) with Bruce on vocals.
Blaze is great. I love Blaze. X-Factor (and even Virtual XI) are better than most of Iron Maiden's other albums. Certainly better than anything else they put out in the 90's.
I actually like more bruce's voice... But (recalling the comment above) I like very much Blaze when singing songs of virtual xi and x factor... And personally this song rocks with blaze!... Up the Irons!
I gotta say this song is good. I was always one who wouldn't listen to IM with Blaze.
I just heard Bruce do this song and I gotta admit Blaze does THIS ONE much better.
Always Up The Irons \m/ EDDIE \m/
