The Man Who Would Be King
There's a few reasons for that.
1. Selective memory. Bruce raped Futureal. He brutalized it, he sodomized it, he fucked it up hardcore. LOTF was no better.
2. Smart choices for the rest. Just like ATSS became a Blaze staple, the songs that were chosen were picked because they hit Bruce's range better. Futureal is a higher-pitched song, but Bruce couldn't keep up. LOTF was too, but Bruce is just not quick enough. But SOTC? The Clansman? Yeah, Bruce was great on those because they have more ponderous vocals, and higher pitched ones too.
3. Ingrained distaste of Blaze. Sorry, the man's a great fucking singer. I went back and listened to every single professional production Blaze has ever put out yesterday, and I think his time in Maiden (plus Silicon Messiah) were his best vocals of them all. The Aftermath, The Edge of Darkness, The Educated Fool, and The Clansman are just stellar (plus, of course, Stare at the Sun). Bruce does a great job on The Clansman, but how would he handle the other songs? The Edge of Darkness would give him LOTF style problems, I think. Blaze? Knocked it out of the park.
