I think Blaze isn't wrong then for saying that there was some monitor issues on The X Factour, as he sounded much better singing with the TV studio's equipment over the studio version, than live with the band.
Brave New World had some in places for the vocals, for sure. The Thin Line Between Love and Hate is an example. Would have been good for Blaze as well.
With a bit of guiding from a good producer, he is an excellent singer! He hasn't worked with a real producer since 2004 though (not in Maiden either).
But an upcoming Andy Sneap brought the best out of Blaze back in the day. I believe that the track "Stare at the Sun" is his finest vocal...
Search for a completely new singer. That's what Steve thought they would do at first, when Blaze struggled on tour, according to the Run to the Hills biography. Originally he didn't think that Bruce would return.
The If Eternity Should Fail demo sounds like it was recorded over basic Superior drummer samples, but great to hear it.
You can buy that program for like 300 euros: https://www.toontrack.com/product/superior-drummer-3/
I'm sure Bruce's version could have been stronger than Maiden's, if it had...
Bruce's top 10 songs on Spotify. Tears of the Dragon is getting a lot of plays, but otherwise it's nothing compared to Maiden's top tracks in popularity.
I wonder if the next album can scale things up for him?
