Blaze Bayley

Yes, I have read that too, but I think that was just Singer expressing his frustration for the whole project in a simple way - the lack of commercial success after 2 albums and some personal issues with Bayley were the real reasons.

In "At the end of the day" it is mentioned that he wanted to leave after finishing the "Tenth Dimension tour" in the late summer of 2002, but that he was convinced to stay in the band for a bit longer, to record "As Live As It Gets".

So clearly, there were issues before Blaze were planning to play Sign of the Cross (he didn't do that during the Tenth Dimension tour).

But to appease the fans, the lyrics to "Wrathchild" will be altered.

Born into a scene, in a part ancient of Greece
In a land called Macedonia
His father was the king, his mother was a queen
And at 19 he took the throne, yuh

Now he spends his time riding all around
So much to conquer, can you hear that sound?
He founded Alexandrias, and beat the Persians
If you cross Alex, you're surely done!

Cuz he's Alexander
Yeah he's Alexander
Oh he's Alexander
He's comin' to find you
Ooo yeah yeah!

Some say it doesn't matter, ain't nothin' gonna alter
The course of his destination
He wants to command all of the land
Or else he'll just go crazy!

Now he spends his time riding all around
So much to conquer, can you hear that sound?
A trip into India wounded his pride
And no one knows how he died!

Cuz he's Alexander
Yeah he's Alexander
Oh he's Alexander
He's comin' to find you
Ooo yeah yeah!

:ahhh:

He's coming to get you ...
 
I listened to Infinite Entanglement today. The trilogy is no mean feat. Kudos to Blaze for pulling it off, a trilogy concept where the story is well written, interesting and backed by great music (at least, two out of three LPs are great. The third is a bit of lackluster). They would've been perfect with Andy Sneap's production...
 
Speaking about Sneap, this is one of the albums he produced just before being hired for Silicon Messiah in 1999:


Also featuring Jeff Singer on drums (Sneap then suggested him for BLAZE, which Bayley agreed on).
Silicon Messiah was mainly a heavy metal record, but one that used similar producing/mixing techniques as Kill II This, a band of the U.K nu-metal scene at the time, which makes it sound unique.

That was really interesting.

Didn’t Kill II This support Bruce Dickinson on The Chemical Wedding tour?
 
I've been lucky enough to meet Blaze a couple of times at his gigs. Great guy and a true metal warrior. I was never keen on his Maiden albums but his solo material has been stellar. I have Silicone Messiah and the Infinite Entanglement trilogy on CD as well as the Live in France dvd. I love how he completely runs his own DIY operation with no record label involvement. It means that if you purchase his stuff he gets 100% profit so I always advocate that if you want to support him, buy his merch/albums and buy a ticket to his shows. Don't just stream his music on YouTube or whatever.

Yeah, I try to support Blaze by buying a fair share of his stuff. He's great. Haven't bought his last one yet due to the over the top pitch correction. It just sounds dodgy.
