They could be downtuned a bit. I don't care as long as it helps Blaze to sound good.

Fair enough, although I still do not particularly like how he sings those songs. This tour has to be one of the most bizarre decisions he has ever made if he is trying to promote his solo career in the USA.

It was actually Tate's idea since it's his band who is backing the singers. Blaze and Ripper did guest vocals on his new album so that's the reason for this.

Blaze could have always said no, couldn't he?

Blaze has to make a living as well, and quite frankly, they are playing to a slightly larger audience than he usually does on his solo tours. I bet it's far more enjoyable.
I don't really see anything particularly wrong with this particular case.

I wish Steve and Maiden would've tuned down with Blaze, back in the day. This does sounds good.

I actually don't think this tour is a bad idea at all. The setlist is a bit disappointing, I thought every singer would get their own set, not share one set. I also have no interest in hearing Ripper Owens or Blaze sing Priest and Maiden songs sung by other singers. But the idea itself was good, it's a solid bill. If it came to Denver I would've been tempted to check it out.

Cabaret tour, I wouldn't go.

This? hardly.


This is a cabaret tour:

In the sense of performing original material, hardly.

In the sense of an abomination... well...
 
This tour screams "Bunch of has-beens in the worse cabaret tradition"

To be honest, tours like this makes DiAnno look good. At least he is only singing the songs he originally sang with the band.

Of course Blaze has to make a living; I just think tours like this do his solo career no good.

Well, it's been going downhill for a while now hasn't it? What's there to ruin? :p At least he's not doing those acoustic shows anymore...

And to be honest. He's is very good company here. Geoff Tate and Tim "Ripper" Owens? I'm more wondering what the hell those guys are doing on a bill like this.
