He doesn't talk about the rasp in particular, but how Bruce 2001 sounds better than he has in years, and how he got his technique back and hadn't actually butchered his actual voice.
Thanks for that.

Is there a reason why he wanted a raspier voice? Was it Bruce´s own choice to try something different or Arry´s?
Also: Guns 'N Roses (I mean, TM...).My personal opinion is that Bruce’s voice was fried by the end of the SSOASS tour, so he probably tried to change his singing style to either sound more aggressive or find it less challenging to hit the high notes than with a “clean” voice.

Also not my favorite but vocal wise way better than anything he did with Maiden during the 90'sNot my favorite Bruce solo album (due to some lesser tracks)but still a great album with a very good sounding Bruce indeed.
I thought it was a great tour. I’m glad I got to see lots of the songs from IM and Killers. They’ve played most of the previously played live material from those first four albums since 1999. The only exceptions I can think of are To Tame a Land and Still Life. That’s pretty good going.Bruce's vocal peak was almost certainly 2005. He was absolutely on fire throughout that whole tour, and it's a total crying shame they didn't trot out Flight of Icarus on that tour.
e: And yeah yeah, I know, the "first four albums only" was just an excuse to do a proper Early Days tour with most of the set from the debut and Killers, filled out with the NOTB staples and mostly the same PoM tracks they played in 2003 plus one extra as a fun surprise. I know. Still sucks.

What exactly is your problem with that set?
Saw them on that tour and my only problem with it is they left Killers out. Yes, Still Life and TTAL would also be super but not as Killers IMO.The only exceptions I can think of are To Tame a Land and Still Life. That’s pretty good going.

Murders in the Rue Morgue, Another Life, Prowler, Remember Tomorrow and Drifter will never be played again and most of them hadn't been at that time in over 20 years, bar RT and Prowler on a 3 month tour and MITRM on a couple of dates.
Where Eagles Dare at the time hadn't been played since 1993 (which again was a short tour), 1986 before that. Revelations at that time had only been played on 1 tour since the 80's, Phantom only played on 1 tour since the 80's at that time. Fear of the Dark dropped for the only time ever.
I was like a pig in shit for that tour. I imagine that if Maiden played a set consisting of every track from every album someone would be on here saying it sucked because it didn't have Black Bart Blues and Bayswater Ain't a Bad Place to Be on it.
My first Maiden gig was Reading 2005. It was a great set to see them for the first time. It had so much energy and they were all on form.The shows were pretty short (roughly 90 minutes at Bospop festival) as they were playing shorter songs. I would have been much happier if Children of the Damned, 22 Acacia Avenue and Flight of Icarus had been added to the set. All three were classic tracks from the era being covered.
Flight of Icarus has such a funny history.Am I right in thinking that they have never been able to agree on a tempo?
I'd be inclined to think metal was in a transition period then and he was struggling to fit in. Maiden were themselves on NPFTD and FOTD, self conscious and stuggling to fit in. I think he was just trying new things to try and stay relevant.
1997-2006 is by far my favorite Bruce period. Great coverband too.I'd probably take this guy over Bruce's voice in the 80's
For me it's "Mature Bruce" all the way, but IRYO y'all...
