Tim Owens could pull of being in Maiden. I heard the Flight of Icarus cover, and it was badass, I still like him more than Halford. Hell Sebastian Bach could pull it off too I bet. Bruce can't get as high as he used to live.
I feel bad for Blaze. He's got a hell of a voice, but he doesn't fit into Maiden at all, and a lot of people hate him for it. That's lame.
@NightmareSnake definitely bro. i bought from fear to eternity and one of the songs i had a hard time trying to find out who was singing cauz bruce was singing pretty low and it was a blaze song. and i wasnt sure who exactly was singing
Great songs, Great singers. Bruce is better in my opinion, but Blaze is a fucking great singer too.
By the way, if I'm not wrong, The Thin Line Between Love and hate was one of the songs that is on Brave New World, but were composed (I think recorded too) to get into Virtual XI.
The Thin Line Between Love and Hate is a symphony.
I think both Bruce and Blaze are great singers, but what bothers me with Blaze's voice is he tends to get off pitch when he sings (especially the higher notes) and to me, Blaze doesn't have the passion of Bruce nor the confidence in his voice that Bruce brings to the band, which is extremely important for Iron Maiden to have.
It was hard act to follow when Blaze took over , he is a very talented singer very deep person , and it was hard on Blaze ..He spent many hours him talking of his time with Maiden ..Blaze has his own style , but i have to say i do not like his new stuff ... Bruce is Iron Maiden , and to be truthful no one can fill Bruce's shoes...
i love iron maiden and i like allthe singers that has helped maiden along on their journey! RESECT TO BLAZE! RESPECT TO PAUL! AND RESPECT TO BRUCE! WHO GIVES A FUCK WHOS BETTER ETC! JUST ENJOY IT BECAUSE IT IS GLORIOUS METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would buy a Bruce/Blaze Maiden project in a heartbeat!! I love having Bruce back in the band, but a big part of me also wishes we could have Blaze, too!
sometimes i do the same thing of being singing a song line then all out of nowhere i skip to another song and my girl goes like oook and laughs, i liked your mix buddy up the irons
i know you have uploaded this maiden song but could you tell me if there where any copyright issues or are EMI cool with people uploading music from their label
Bruce is a perfect singer and the best choice for Maiden no daubt. But he came back to Maiden because he was not too successful with his solo effort. There has been a lot of Blaze bashing which I reject. Blaze Bayley's latest albums are great. Yes I bought them and like them. I don't like the new Maiden stuff anyway. Now with Steve's daughter opening for Maiden I lost respect. Her music is a slap in the face of real metal heads. This comes from a veteran Iron Maiden fan. It is sad. Up the Blaze!
@youthBasher You are posting the same shitty comment on every Maiden video. You are obviously an attention whore. Stop reposting the same shitty comment on every Maiden video.
Blaze has a fucking fantatic voice its the fact theres so many reatrds much like yourself who can't seem to understand not every singer fucking sounds like bruce dickinson bayley didn't fit in maiden but that doesnt mean his songs were shit, fucking far from it, also at least blaze comes to smaller venues and doesnt just play one date a year in his own country like maiden do
Yes, Blaze isn't for Iron Maiden, but have you heard the songs from his own albums? Yes, Bruce is better than Blaze, but that doesn't mean he is bad (or you haven't meant like that?), his albums pretty much say that. Just listen Silicon Messiah or Tenth Dimension songs and you can see Bayley can sing pretty well.
he was bad for Maiden. when you have songs like Flight of Icarus and Hallowed b the name, you need a singer that can hit the high pitches. You see how they had to change their sound to adapt to Baileys voice, something that obviously didnt work and pissed everybody off
If you want to hear how good Blaze is, go back to Wolfsbane, first two albums when he was at his peak. SH did no one any favours when he took on Blaze, he only got the job because they were good drinking buddies, and sadly it finished Wolfsbane, a really great little band. Nice to see them gigging again.
No! Blaze is a fuckin lounge act and Iron Maiden the group should've done the right thing and held out a bit longer until they could find someone with range and depth,you can church and brag up this chump but blaze is more like a dimly lit candle than anything blazing.
I think Blaze got screwed over in Iron Maiden, if Steve wrote songs that fit Blaze's voice instead of writing songs that would sound awesome with Bruce's vocals, X-Factor and Virtual XI would have been a lot better, I mean just go listen to Blaze's solo work, he's a really good singer.
Gonboo--you obviously know nothing about true singing. Blaze bailey should NEVER have been in MAIDEN. They should have chose a singer who could handle the power and range of Bruce. Blaze was out of key even in his OWN SONGS! Watch him raise his hands trying to bring is voice up! FUNNY! Why go from a Ferrari 2 a Volkswagon? Blaze was simply AWFUL. He could barely sing 'Afraid To Shoot Strangers'! What was the point of this stupid vid anyway? It only proves Blaze blows cock and Bruce is Godly.
Go listen to one of Blaze's solo songs, they are pretty good. And yes its not a bright idea to have a baritone (Blaze) try to sing songs that are suppose to be sung in a tenor range (Bruce is a low tenor). But who care if Blaze isn't another Bruce. Bruce is unique and one of the best singers ever, but Blaze isn't bad either.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I have 'Silicon Messiah'm and while it's a bit better thanx to Blaze staying within his very limited range, it is still nothing to write home about vocal-wise. Singers like Bruce, Ronnie Dio, Rob Halford, and Mandy Lion impress me--Blaze just does nothing for me. I know because I sing MAIDEN just about every weekend in a top IM tribute. We don't do ANY Blaze songs--but will do 'Clansman' & 'Sign Of The..' eventually because Bruce did them live. Guess who's versions I'll be doing (lol)?
@MotorheadNL I don't have to--they are already there. I sing for OVERLORDE (Sonic Age Records), and I am the original singer from SEVEN WITCHES. I also sing in SANCTUARY (Iron Maiden Tribute)--type in Sanctuary Iron Maiden Tribute @ Maximum Capacity. BTW--I am not the guy in the baseball cap--that is Sanctuary's former singer. Bruce is one of my top 3 vocal idols--along with Dio (R.I.P.), and Halford. Blaze is alot better on his own now. I really like 'The Man Who Would Not Die'...
@MotorheadNL BTW, you can also see me doing Bruce/Di'anno era Maiden if you type in: Sanctuary Iron Maiden Tribute Santo Domingo Hard Rock Cafe--it was a great sold out show with 1,200 Maiden Maniacs...a really great time. We are a New York/New Jersey based Maiden tribute.

Blaze and Bruce singing together--what a nice dream? C'mon rafarads. Stop. It would be a NIGHTMARE when Blaze opened his mouth! I am a hardcore IM fan and no matter HOW HARD I TRIED to like Blaze...I could NOT. He makes me CRINGE. He is SOUR and off-key in everything. He NEVER should have been in MAIDEN--period. Steve--what were you THINKING mate? Blaze can make milk CURDLE! When Bruce does Clansman & Sign Of The Cross--that is how it should be done! Never should have been a 2nd album w/ Blaze.
Blaze and Bruce are totally different Singers but both singers are amazing.
If Maiden would have stopped playing songs from the dickinson time blaze would have been very succesfull. The songs wrote in the Bailey time are also amazing and fit perfectly to his voice (man on the edge, lord of the flies etc.).
in fact the typical dickinson songs don't sound good with bayleys voice and the bailey songs don't sound good with bruce's voice
@Klamsii83 I have to say that a handful of Blaze era songs are decent--X Factor is a much stronger album than Virtual XI. But I disagree that Blaze was 'amazing' in MAIDEN--the only thing that was 'amazing' was the fact that a second album was even recorded with him. His voice just was NOT 'Maiden'. Harris wrote that shit with Bruce in mind--Blaze just does NOT fit in MAIDEN. He is better suited to sing HIS songs...

Yes, Bruce is best. Still, I think Blaze is awesome and the concert I saw with him on the XI tour may just have been my favourite.
His solo performance is also miles better than how he sang for Maiden, probably because he stays within his comfort zone.
I am a big fan of both, even if Bruce will always be my favourite singer ever.

Bailey isnt worthy of even tying Bruce's shoelaces
I still cant believe they picked Bailey over Paul di Anno and Michael Kiske
perhaps Harris was afraid that if they picked somebody too talented, it would happen the same thing as with Bruce, and thats why prefered Bailey
"This guy Bailey kinda sucks, but thats gonna guarantee that he wont leave the band to start his own solo act..so yeah, lets pick him"
