OMG!!! A Blaze USA tour!!!

It may be Blaze, but it's not his band.  I would've loved for this to have happened any time in the last decade, but not now.
 
Why not? If I go to see him, I'll go to see Blaze. I hate to say it, but I don't really care who the rest of the band is. I just want to see Blaze doing Blaze songs and maybe some Maiden. The backing band doesn't really matter to me.
 
To me it does. I am so glad I have seen the first line-up who co-wrote the songs with him. Never was there a better band afterwards.

And reading how he has treated his line-up of the last two albums, I don't care about a bunch of hired nobodies who can't play those songs as well. It's only annoying to see worse versions.

On the other hand, if you've never seen Blaze: these are probably the last gigs of his Blaze career so if it's only about his songs, then this is your last chance.

100% agreed. The first line-up (although I've never seen it live, unfortunately) were musicians in the truest sense. All other lineups were just metalhead-musicians.
 
Still I have a lot of respect for the guys who Blaze fired recently. Especially those brothers from South-America, they had to go through hell to get to Europe, and to get to England (visa stuff). Such dedication can hardly be rivalled. In that aspect I recommend the Blaze biography written by Paterson.
