Recent interview Blaze did with Metal hammer on getting sober. I Couldn't embed the link for some reason so the hyperlink is below.

Ex-Iron Maiden singer Blaze Bayley opens up about quitting alcohol.

Blaze Bayley kicked off his tour two days ago. It looks like a great setlist:

• Spoiler: details of set list

  • X Factor (7x) - Sign of the Cross, Lord of the Flies, Man on the Edge, Look for the Truth, Judgment of Heaven, Blood on the World's Hands, 2AM
  • Virtual XI (6x) - Futureal, The Angel and the Gambler (shortened version), Lightning Strikes Twice, The Clansman, When Two Worlds Collide, Como Estais Amigos
  • Other Maiden songs (3x) - Virus, Justice of the Peace, Wrathchild
  • Blaze songs (4x) - Born as a Stranger, The Brave, Calling You Home, A Thousand Years
  • Other songs (1x) - Doctor Doctor

It's a strong setlist with good coverage across both of his Maiden albums. Ideally I would have liked to see

Spoiler: spoiler

The Unbeliever, Fortunes of War, and/or Stare at the Sun (if he's playing non-Maiden material)

but no complaints. I wonder if some/all of these songs are played in D# standard tuning.

Of all the IM solo projects Blaze is the one I’d most like to see but I don’t think the States are on the itinerary anytime soon.

Blaze has talked about that in interviews: That he would love to play for US fans again, but that organising a US tour is such a struggle.

He chose solo songs with a Maiden vibe/parts. Cool. I guess the EddFest set will be all Maiden songs.

Spoiler

Now we just need - Unbeliever/Aftermath, Educated Fool and Eyes Of A Stranger. Plus Stare At The Sun, The Launch.
