    Blaze Bayley

    Then at his own shows this year, he played 10 songs from his current band, 4 songs from the BLAZE days, and just 2 Maiden tracks (Man on the Edge and Futureal), so it's not like he is turning into D'iAnno 2.0 fully...

    Blaze Bayley

    At festivals it's the Maiden set now days usually. Perhaps that's what promoters are asking for. He has actually done a lot of festivals in recent years, and perhaps it's easier to get a gig if it's mainly an Iron Maiden set, and the money is probably decent. It's allowing him to pay his...

    Post reunion era songs youde like to hear live again or for the first time

    Ghost of the Navigator Brave New World Dance of Death These Colours Don't Run The Final Frontier (but skip Satellite 15) The Book of Souls. Could add If Eternity Should Fail as well, but I think that's for a Bruce solo tour.

    The Future Past tour 2023

    I think more famous metal bands like Megadeth can tour on their own now and therefore don't need Maiden these days, but in 1999 things were different. Also Dio had it rough back in 1998, and followed Maiden with Blaze around North America.
