Becuase of the bad press, I had no desire to listen to X or Xi beyond Blaze's contribution on Ed Hunter...until I found what I was missing on You Tube. Since giving the other songs a listen, I was so impressed that I had to order the cd (X Factor). I dig the darkness (I'll pick up Xi later). It's like I have discovered a different side of the Maiden I have loved since their first debut album and after giving Blaze a chance, I'm actually into it.
Blaze's voice is what was needed in these two albums, its dark and heavy, which is good for the dark undertones of this album, i believe Bruce's energy and enthusiasm would'nt have worked here, the only song that he does well is Sign of the cross,
@LaBass666 Yeah, Bruce would ruined this albums, and Blaze's singing style influenced Bruce, and made HIS singing better in the 2000's. You may or may not believe this, but it's true.
This is one of the two Maiden studio albums I'm missing, the other being 'Final Frontier'. Personally, I think Blaze did pretty damn good, surely better than Bruce did in 'No Prayer for the Dying', which IMO was a HORRIBLE album all around. Thankfully Bruce got his shit together for 'Brave New World' and beyond, but Blaze did a fine enough job in his absence.
I still make fun of the Blaze years, though. "Presenting Blaze Bayley and some guys from Iron Maiden!"
There's just something about this song. It's just really catchy. It's definitely going on my epic rock CD, to blast when i'm feeling epic... which is always.
Woah! I just listened to the beginning and already this is one of my favorite songs! Really heavy 80's type style, even though this was much later. ;-)
I dont now why many people complain about Blaze it is a cool song. It is not worth the time to fight about such things who is th better, i think no one has the time.
@icyflames1995 What makes you think that Bruce would have sounded terrible in the 2 Blaze's albums? A lot of so called Iron Maiden's fan are forgeting a very little detail. If it was Dickinson who has recorded those two albums instead of Bayley, we all would be talking about how much Bayley sucks, believe me. UP THE IRONS!!!
It is AWFUL...Melody doesn't change all the time the same, Vocal is also terrible...I think they did this song only to say that we made a song for the book Lord of the Flies...It carried away all the effect of this wonderful book.I wish I didn't listen this shit...
@xlia24 Without this song I would never have read the book. It's an awesome song that captures the essence of the story beautifully. Please, give it another listen?
@NefariousDreary id say the only worse maiden art was dance of death, not even because the idea was bad just the computer graphics looked so terrible... this cover just really doesn't evoke some of the things others do, like killers for example? thats classic stuff
@Dethtothenations The Dance of Death cover wasn't finished. It would have been awsome if it were, I can see it. Especially with Eddie as Death in the center. The problem was that the artist, David Pathcett, took a good deal of time working on it, costing the band enough money. They decided it was good enough, though it was just the prototype. Patchett wasn't happy with the result so he wanted his name removed fromt the credits. I think it was a great concept.
@NefariousDreary yeah, I would have no problem with it if it were executed well, conceptually it was actually pretty neat, but the computer graphics just look so baaaaad. personally killers and somewhere in time are my favourite maiden covers but theres others i like a lot as well, powerslave is a close third.
@nvsven thank you my friend :-)! Yeah, when i was a kid, don't know why, but i felt scared when i saw that pig head sticked on a spear, and those kids go wild and berserk...it is interesting, that when you let people alone in the wild, our primitive and animal side become dominant side..!
@nefredil I haven't wathced the movie, but the book is fantastic. It is for sure a must read, as i really enjoyed it. Its actually an allegorical novel, as it deals with human nature and the fact that savagery is within us, not civilization.
@MastaBlastoise human nature consists of greed, ambition, lust....etc.. I think good benevolent nature sprouts from those and is held together by society and thats what makes civilization, because we have the will to live.
@udot111 what if that is backwards? what if the natural man, the animal is our good side. think about it. kill for food, fight for family, sex for love and reproduction. greed and ambition stems from civilization. idle hands be the devils tools and all that. as we sit safe in our houses behind our screens, we find that we want more. why dont i have a 90 inch computer monitor!? why!? the natural, primitive man would be worried about where he is going to sleep, what hes going to eat etc.
@udot111 but which man are we talking about? civilized man? natural man? moral man? religious man? political man? to generalize man is to not understand the nature of man. humanity is a multifaceted gem of infinite beauty and wretchedness.
@Inkswim if you were to strip down human kind to the basics. it's just human nature that we're curious and have to have a reason for everything. and again, we always want more
@ToxicTurquoise454 Its iron fucking maiden, saying thier cover art is too gruesome, is like saying Megadeth's is too disturbing, or violent, its just not possible
Good on ya Blaze for not allowing Maiden to disappear into obscurity.
but I think they should record an album re-doing the best songs from both XF and VXI. especially with their more "mature" sound I think they can make them killer with Bruce.
if bruce could not do this album id say fuck blaze get paul to do this if bruce cant i mean come on this guy blaze sucks bruce and paul are sooooo much better
@mrfingers69 Ralph expressed the greatest want to escape than any of the others except Piggy, he also was the one who did want "a code of morality" and hated the conflict within the tribe unlike the lyrics. It might be about Jack but it is definitly not about Ralph.
21 guns to Iron Maiden from India. Iron Maiden drives me crazy & the roar drives my mom crazy too. As soon as I play iron Maiden she turns into a devil & shouts at me louder than Bruce :o))
This song would suck if singed by Bruce... I agree with Reverentpolytheist's comment... every song imo reaches its best with its original singer, Blaze is no exception UP THE IRONS FOREVER!!!
@Hekatos82 but you have to admit that bruce is the best singer for iron maiden... paul diano (the first singer) even believes that... i was suprised he said that
@ThePorchHonkie Only because of the number of great songs made with him... theyr style changes according to their singer. Of course I t hink Bruce is one of the best singers out there, but I don't think he is better than Di'Anno, and neither the contrary. Even know when I listen to the songs of the Di'Anno period, they thrill me like the best Dickinson period songs.
@PrisonBreakFilms actually if you think about the lyrics it does fit in, "fate has brought us to these shores, what is ment to be is now happening, i like this living in danger" this really represents Ralph's feelings when he realized they were stranded
I like the rasp in Blaze's and Paul's voice, and dont get me wrong because they are incredible singers, but Bruce is the overall greatest frontman of Maiden.
I'm so sick of these "band wars". You have to like either Iron Maiden or Judas Priest. Fuck it, I love them both. They are in my opinion the 2 greatest bands ever to walk the earth. They still hold up in this sorry ass disney run world and are still kicking ass. They're equally amazing. And stop comparing singers from either bands. It's all the same band, it's all good. Am i right?
Iron Maiden is magnific because of its differents eras. Each one with your caracteristics, Paul more punk, Bruce pop, Blaze dark... We have musics for all tastes.
Shouldnt we claim less and feel the magia in Maiden?
fuck! stop saying all ''oohh blaze wasnt that bad he was a good singer'' , thats bullshit , when i want to hear iron maiden , and not songs they are written for blaze voice just because he sucks . dont get me wrong the songs on the x-factor are good , but this isnt maiden for me , thats blaze
@wtfpenguinwtf thx blaze i became nightmares that my favourite band will break up.Now its easy to say that this was maiden ,too because they continued.If dickinson didnt turned to the band today there will be no maiden , master harris himself kicked blaze out because he couldnt bring the true maiden stuff , you STFU ,do you think to know better about maiden than murray and harris ?pathetic fool
@richis404 I see ur point but: 1st I'm not a pathetic fool if I say that Blaze was a part of Maiden and 2nd Steve didn't kick Blaze out of the band because of his voice, Steve kicked Blaze because Bruce wanted to return to Maiden, and Steve made the best choice by taking Bruce back. Maiden is at its best with Bruce easily, but I was just trying to tell you that when Blaze was a singer, it was a different era for Maiden and i liked that era very much. And Blaze has an amazing voice.
@wtfpenguinwtf you called me a stupid asshole.The X-factor album wasnt that bad ,but when i hear it ,i hear blaze and not maiden after so many albums and years with bruce.And if blaze would have been that great they would had hold on on him and not to accept the return of bruce ,it was that what i mean.Blaze only could sing the songs they were written for his voice,bruce can sing the songs of the di anno era even the originals sounding better but they sound good when bruce sing them
It was all about money. EMI fired Blaze (not Harris) cause the sales weren't going that well as with Bruce. And Bruce came back because of that. He gets much more money with Maiden rather than his solo career (which is amazing by the way).
So don't fight about who is better it's all about money. Blaze is amazing anyway and gave something different to the band. The two albums with Bayley are much more fresh than any of the albums they made after his departure. Both are amazing so everything's ok
I think Blaze's style fit this album really well, all the songs are really dark. It's not their best stuff but it's very far from bad, I listen to this album a lot. Bruce don't do these songs well because they weren't written for his voice, likewise Blaze didn't really do the classic maiden stuff well at all.
Blaze isn't TOO bad of a singer, but for Iron Maiden he was horrible. Only Bruce could do it for Iron Maiden, even Paul Di'Anno would be better than Blaze. Maybe in a different band Blaze would be good, but not maiden.
i agree with you because i cant stand blazes vocals and i really dont mind paul. but bruce gave a some type of a rebirth of the band. i cant really find the right statement to describe what he has done to iron maiden!
We read this book in English class last year. Pretty cool book, it shows a lot of symbolism, which must've influenced my favorite band to write a song about it.
Probably the best song on the album, which is really saying a lot. Blaze isn't a bad singer in general, but his voice just does not fit Maiden's style
Again, a maiden song that would benefit greatly from having Bruce on the vocals instead of Blaze. This song is so boring, flat and lacking in power that it is just plain bad, maybe not bad but... boring.
was sent here by my english class because of a novel ;D

if you look at the music that the band played in X factor and Virtual XI then you will realize that Bruce wouldve sounded terrible in these 2 albums.
Blaze has a darker, heavier tune, which actually merges with the genre of this band which is "Heavy Metal"
This guy is bad ass (Y)
bruce is a great singer. He does well in his albums.

Iron Maiden is magnific because of its differents eras. Each one with your caracteristics, Paul more punk, Bruce pop, Blaze dark... We have musics for all tastes.
Shouldnt we claim less and feel the magia in Maiden?

@wtfpenguinwtf thx blaze i became nightmares that my favourite band will break up.Now its easy to say that this was maiden ,too because they continued.If dickinson didnt turned to the band today there will be no maiden , master harris himself kicked blaze out because he couldnt bring the true maiden stuff , you STFU ,do you think to know better about maiden than murray and harris ?pathetic fool
richis404 1 year ago
@richis404 I see ur point but: 1st I'm not a pathetic fool if I say that Blaze was a part of Maiden and 2nd Steve didn't kick Blaze out of the band because of his voice, Steve kicked Blaze because Bruce wanted to return to Maiden, and Steve made the best choice by taking Bruce back. Maiden is at its best with Bruce easily, but I was just trying to tell you that when Blaze was a singer, it was a different era for Maiden and i liked that era very much. And Blaze has an amazing voice.

@wtfpenguinwtf you called me a stupid asshole.The X-factor album wasnt that bad ,but when i hear it ,i hear blaze and not maiden after so many albums and years with bruce.And if blaze would have been that great they would had hold on on him and not to accept the return of bruce ,it was that what i mean.Blaze only could sing the songs they were written for his voice,bruce can sing the songs of the di anno era even the originals sounding better but they sound good when bruce sing them

It was all about money. EMI fired Blaze (not Harris) cause the sales weren't going that well as with Bruce. And Bruce came back because of that. He gets much more money with Maiden rather than his solo career (which is amazing by the way).
So don't fight about who is better it's all about money. Blaze is amazing anyway and gave something different to the band. The two albums with Bayley are much more fresh than any of the albums they made after his departure. Both are amazing so everything's ok

I think Blaze's style fit this album really well, all the songs are really dark. It's not their best stuff but it's very far from bad, I listen to this album a lot. Bruce don't do these songs well because they weren't written for his voice, likewise Blaze didn't really do the classic maiden stuff well at all.

Blaze isn't TOO bad of a singer, but for Iron Maiden he was horrible. Only Bruce could do it for Iron Maiden, even Paul Di'Anno would be better than Blaze. Maybe in a different band Blaze would be good, but not maiden.

i agree with you because i cant stand blazes vocals and i really dont mind paul. but bruce gave a some type of a rebirth of the band. i cant really find the right statement to describe what he has done to iron maiden!

We read this book in English class last year. Pretty cool book, it shows a lot of symbolism, which must've influenced my favorite band to write a song about it.

Probably the best song on the album, which is really saying a lot. Blaze isn't a bad singer in general, but his voice just does not fit Maiden's style

Again, a maiden song that would benefit greatly from having Bruce on the vocals instead of Blaze. This song is so boring, flat and lacking in power that it is just plain bad, maybe not bad but... boring.
