Some great points. It seems like a lot of it is that this singing lark is harder than it seems. I think Blaze had the talent but it seems to take more than that to be in a band like Maiden. To be 'match fit' to do it for 100+ nights a year at times. A slightly different point aside, those...

I think the theory this was planned or part planned is querying the bands intergrity which i wouldnt do. I believe what i read in RTH and the interviews i read with the band at the time and after. Regarding Blaze, i dont think anyone would really have succedeed, it was just the wrong time. Sure...

I remember being really pleased at the time that Blaze had got the job, he was my first choice. Unfortunately i was very disappointed with XFactor. Maybe it just wasnt what i was hoping for. I have come to appreciate it a lot more recently though.

Probably the most sensable summary of the whole situation

Maybe, big problem if he couldnt handle the stress. Like i say some of vocal performances are really good. He just couldnt do it often enough. Obviously thr strain on his voice was too much night after night

I have to disagree with this. Yes Bruce forgets lyrics here and there (apart from CSIT on the current which he forgets every time) but Blaze was 2 or 3 songs every single gig i have heard and ive heard a lot of gigs from both guys.

Been listening Iron Maiden bootlegs for a long time and the consitancy of Blazes live performances is interesting and im sure played a part in them getting rid. People say he murdered or didnt do the Bruce songs justice but in part i disagree. Yes he sang them differently to Bruce...

Does he deserve one?

Hate to say i told you so

Me either. Its pretty sad and pathetic tbh. Those who say he's a trooper for doing it, no he's not, he needs the money and its tragic

I think it'll be a sad sight

I do realise that

With his late ex Paddy

Im glad you enjoy it but im staggered you think its the 2nd best. Id honestly put it bottom of my all time Maiden list, i think its that poor. Strange how opinions differ so much. Mind you i actually like Weekend Warrior which most people say sucks

Nah i just dont get it. I think its awful. I know its not the be all and end all be the last time i checked spotify it was the least listened to track on the album

Luckily i got the reissue when it was in print

The Parchement is the most boring song Maiden have ever done

women are hard to understand at times. Mine i was mine would even just let have a nap when i want.

I have. Its not like i can just chuck her out the house though. Ive she doesnt want to go or doesnt have anyone to go with i cant force her. And i cant afford to go out

I think people get confused between being unhappy and being depressed. At the minute i am unhappy and very frustrated. Married life with kids is a struggle. My wife and i both work from home and i very very rarely if at all get a minute to myself alone. My wife never goes out and if she does she...
