Solo as in he was the only one who liked it.The promotion for Virtual XI was done mostly by Steve. At the end of the day it was his solo album, wasn’t it?

Regarding vocal training for Blaze, I would bet that this was never considered. It might have increased his range by a little bit, but certain songs were too much for him.
Also there is too much pride and in the world of rock and metal, especially when it comes to the badge of honour that is ‘being self-taught’. It’s not a badge of honour. It’s being too proud to admit someone can help develop your craft further.

“As the best looking bloke in the band I told to ‘Arry: This is our best album. Fuck me old boots!”
And heck it works.
I think he sort of grew into his voice far better post Maiden. Seeing Blaze for the first time in a couple of weeks and seriously looking forward to it.

Some beautiful new pictures of Blaze Bayley and Absolva (at British Steel festival in France 2024).
So I was at the Blaze/Absolva gig in Sofia on Sunday. Blaze was in excellent shape, and the audience was amazing. During Man on the Edge, they were the loudest I ever heard at a gig, and they were only about 200 people tops! Also got Blaze to write a birthday message for my brother, who's also a fan but couldn't be there, which was really cool.

He’s such a top bloke. I haven’t had the chance to see his this year. None of his gigs have been that close to home.
During the meet and greet at one of his first gigs after his heart attack, he was asking me how the sound was and whether he sounded good. That shows he really cares about the opinions of his fans and respects them.

It seems mixing anniversaries and albums is becoming a bit of a trend.
I might be tempted, even if a 'matinee' performance is a new one on me
