Your Maiden blasphemy

[londongeorge]

The size of Malmsteen I think not. Do you know who I'm talking about?

 

[Diesel 11]

If Maiden aren’t as big as Metallica, surely they’re the next biggest metal band, right? Not only are they influential as fuck, their concerts still sell like all hell.

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

Like Yngwie or Bettencourt for example.

I find them quite dull to be honest. Highly skilled, but I can admire that from over here, thank you very much.

I like something I can step into and walk around.

Could you step into and walk around Blaze? That singer was not good.

His music, yes. It's no secret that I'm a MASSIVE fan of Blaze - in Maiden and elsewhere

 

[londongeorge]

That guy was massively crap.

 

[Diesel 11]

That guy was massively crap.

In your opinion.

 

[londongeorge]

What is with the "your opinion" nonsense on this site? Of course in my opinion. Objectively speaking I think its fair to say he struggled to stay in key though.

 

[Black Abyss Babe]

Blaze co-wrote my favourite Maiden song

 

[RueMorgue]

I prefer Clive’s drumming to Nicko’s by a considerable margin.

I just wanted to say for the record that this is not my alt account!

Blaze co-wrote my favourite Maiden song

Is it Como? It's Como isn't it?

 

[londongeorge]

That track is great despite Blaze.

Blaze is awesome and Como Estais Amigos is the best song on Virtual Eleven.

 

[londongeorge]

Truthfully it would have been better with a better singer. The band clearly don't rate this material or we would hear more of it.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

They clearly rate this material more than No Prayer For The Dying though.

 

[londongeorge]

How so?

 

[KidInTheDark666]

How so?

Because they haven't played anything from No Prayer since 2003, and even before that there was a long break. Material from the Blaze era was played in 1999-2004 and 2018-19 with Bruce.

 

[chaosapiant]

Not only that, but more songs from the Blaze albums were played live recently that from No Prayer.

 

[Diesel 11]

A different singer may sound better on a technical level, but none will have the same spirit, the same passion, the same emotion as Blaze singing “Como Estais Amigos” himself.
