    If Maiden played a sixth Blaze era song live with Bruce?

    Firstly, this will never happen, it's just for discussions sake. Secondly if you HAD to pick one, even if you hate all of them. Which do you think would be most interesting with Bruce? I think Blood on the World's Hands as it has a really interesting riffy layout to it, which is...

    What songs do Maiden change live?

    I was noticing Metallica cutting out the middle section of Battery or cutting the Blackened solo short. Which songs have Maiden changed live? The few I can think of- Angel and the Gambler definitely got shortened live over the tour. Lord of the Flies. Transposed into a different key and I...

From Bruce’s book- “Steve had a habit of whistling softly into a portable cassette machine, and then transposing this into a vocal...

    Am I misremembering this?

    It was on the Ed Hunter tour in 99, not sure which show. The band start to go into a Blaze era song when a fan(s) shouts their discontent about the song. Bruce shouts at him to show some respect or something like that. Did that happen? Have a feeling it was before clansman.

    If Bruce sang a sixth blaze song live?

    Bruce has sung Futureal and The Clansman from Virtual XI, and Man on the Edge, Sign of the Cross and Lord of the Flies from the X Factor. I personally think Bruce did a great job on the Blaze tunes but I still prefer Blaze on the three shorter songs as his low register really fits them well...
