Blaze Bayley

Is it just me or should the drummer have toned down his stage theatrics to keep the focus on Ozzy? I mean it might be the way he usually plays but was it really necessary for Ozzy's final bow?

Blazes voice on "As Live as it Gets" always blows me away.
He's not quite in his vocal prime anymore, still good, but his voice from 2000-2010 was fucking tremendous.

It's great to have live albums from Blaze's vocal prime (2003-2008), right after Maiden. And they all sound really good with great performances from all. There are about 6 or 7 different Maiden songs in total from his albums (iirc) in the 3 live albums up until 2010 (no Clansman!?), I would have liked even more to show what was missing with Maiden live, with his best solo stuff.

The thing about Blaze's voice - is that it fits the traditional metal like Maiden, more of a rock style, his current almost ''power metal'' approach and the darker and heavier style from his first 5 solo albums (very underrated material imo, especially the latter two). It's so cool. I don't think there are many vocalists I can say that about.

Blazes voice is still great but I did notice seeing him live last year that he has finally lost a step

The night that would not die might be his absolute peak. He was an absolute beast at this time, vocally

Also it sounds ridiculously heavy but according to me playing around with my bass appears to still be in E tuning yet Blaze sounds unbelievable

So heavy would be really atypical and odd for Maiden, but it definitely fits TXF. Like Sign Of The Cross live in RIR. A 90's album with a similar heavier sound would have been a statement from Maiden, especially after the 80's, but they didn't do it with their first 90's albums (they went more rock-y) and stuck to their preferred style, which is usually a good thing. Interestingly, after they were out of Maiden, Adrian, Bruce and Blaze composed heavier music. I guess Steve wants pure Maiden and his beloved 70's bands.

Anyone remember those two Blaze solo tunes that never were? Sin by Sin and Death of a Singer

Good ideas.
