Then they're bringing Blaze on to sing The Trooper for old times sake

Saw someone say on Reddit Steve doesn't seem to be reliably playing his bass lines live as well as he used to, as if age is really catching up to him. Any truth to that? I know it's inevitable but hope that's a long way off.

RIP to a truly unique voice

I like his version of afraid to shoot strangers and most of his singing his own songs with maiden live

I love Blaze Bayley but can you imagine if all these forums and YouTube videos existed of him during his Maiden tours? Especially his worst nights. "maiden are finito! It's over, it was a disaster, they're done!"

He was absolutely unbelievable at the time

Since 1990 ye fool!

I'll see you in the Futureal thread. We can chat about how marvellous that song is for hours. Or not, offers there is all.

They're still very good live but I was watching Revelations live from 2005 and I think they were just untouchable live from 1999 to about 2008 or so. The reunion era was the absolute peak of their live performances, Bruce was unbelievable.

I would love a little bit of the blaze era live shows. Not the full thing, just his best performances (yes they do exist) from the 95 part of the X Factour and his better ones from the 98 VXI tour. Not much Bruce stuff, just his own material from his two albums really apart from Afraid to...

Get some in ear monitors Bruce jeez

Nick even limited plays at decent tempos still. I don't think it's on Simon, I think it's very much Adrian and the rest probably insisting on certain tempos

I just listened to it and I actually quite like it so I'll give you that.

God Futureal is fucking brilliant

No he definitely is now. He wasn't in Maiden because the poor git clearly lacked confidence by the Vxi tour

I presume that's partly why Harry started doing this a lot, though he really started doing it when they were still a two guitar band in the 90s. From the early 90's- "I've found over the last few albums I've been playing more bass chords than ever, to get the weight. Like when the guitars...

I think I have read another account of this where Jan offered to leave for the returning Adrian
