I don't completely agree as I think his prime was the 2000s

Yeah I absolutely prefer his voice on the first 2 Blaze albums.
He was absolutely phenomenal that decade up until about 2010
Still very good after btw but not as powerful anymore
I saw him live last year for the first time in about five years. He was great. But it's the first time I thought his voice had lost a step, just a little.
I don't enjoy saying that, the man is my hero.
He's still great btw

Thanks for sharing the picture. It is sad to see Jason Edwards like that; let's hope his health gets better.

Best Fof The Beast, great album.

Perhaps Fear of the Dark will be in the set, or Afraid to Shoot Strangers then (as well as Virus).

Fear Fof The Dark maybe.

Afraid to Shoot Strangers would be a treat and arrangement-/playingwise I believe it would fit the Absolva guys really well!
Interesting to see if any of the "deeper" X-Factor/Virtual XI cuts will make it to the Silicon Messiah (or other "solo") sets, or shall they stick with the Virus, Futureal & Man on the Edge. I wouldn't mind some variation on that department, but I get that those three are already quite established as standard Blaze Bayley setlists numbers.

My bet is on Wrathchild, which was on the expanded Best of the Beast double-cd.

Blaze did Afraid to Shoot Strangers with Thomas Zwijsen. The live version, from Gothenburg 1995, was a part of the Best of the Beast double cd as well, so I don't think it's out of the question.

You can hear Blaze on Sonic Metaphors' new single.

Looks like Blaze tour dates for the UK next year are floating around online at the moment. The only show in the east of England is in Norwich. That sucks for me as I would quite like to see the show.
