As a long time Iron Maiden I have to say that the Blaze Bayley era of the band has been a time of shame. Not for him, all the guy did was take a job and try to keep the thing going. What I'm ashamed of is the vitriol he received from so called "fans". People that I'm supposed to share a connection with. He stepped up and tried to fill an impossible void. I've nothing but respect for him.
Totally agree!! As far as I'm concerned the two Blaze records are solid albums, especially X Factor. Fair enough, some people genuinely don't like them, but many people never even gave him a chance and dismissed him out of hand.
To this day, Iron Maiden still play songs from the two Blaze era albums. I liked them, and still do. Blaze brought a 90's sound to Iron Maiden and did a great job. "The X Factor" is in my top 10 Iron Maiden album list. P.S. Just as an aside, I always prefered Paul Di'anno over Bruce Dickinson, anyway. So when Bruce left it wasn't earth-shattering for me.
Some maybe, but die hard fans like us know the value that Blaze brought to the band and to us. X Factor is one of the best albums in metal. Up the Irons! \m/
There are a lot you can tell about Blaze. He's a great singer, composer and of course performer. But the best of them all is that he is an AMAZING human being! Keep it up man, cheers to the guys also! 🤟🔥💪🎤🥁🎸🙏
I really loved Iron Maiden's Blaze era. I would like to be there shaking his hand in this live. I'm 42... Maiden fan since I was 13... Blaze fan since "Virtual XI". You did the story of heavy metal together with the band! Fuck to those they say you weren't good enough!! Hail from Italy, Blaze, with full respect and forever in my young heart!
Para mi the factor x es uno de mis preferidos de Iron Maiden, Blaze aporto mucho más a Maiden de lo que en un principio parecía y creo que hoy en día POR FIN estamos valorando su paso por Miden, sin compáralo con el gran Bruce cosa que en su día muchos fans no supieron hacer.
Me too. Been a fan of iron maiden since I was 13. I’m now 45 and the Blaze era was a really good time. Who cares if he couldn’t reach the high notes of Bruce? He did his absolute best and gave it all he had. He was a good fit for the band at the time. Screw the haters! But I do wish that when “The best of the beast” compilation was released, I would’ve loved to hear Blaze sing more of Bruce’s songs, just to hear his take on them.
Blaze Bayley is like wine. Gets better with time There should be an Irons United tour would be awesome having you singing the way you do today. Just like Helloween did. To celebrate the survival from the vírus
@Lord Belial Yes! Would be an awesome experience having a showman like Blaze and the others singing classic songs from Iron Maiden around the world through live concerts
conheci pessoalmente Blaze Bayley em um bar aqui da cidade, fato ocorrido em videira SC dia 24/06/2016, cara se apresentou grandiosamente, bebeu cerveja com a galera, jogou sinuca, tirou foto com os fãs, autografou discos, um artista super talentoso e acessível ao seu publico, pessoa admirável, a cidade toda parou pra ver de perto o talento do cara, e ele retribuiu de forma grandiosa, acho em particular; excepcional a passagem de Blaze Bayley pelo Iron Maiden
Sou muito Fã dos álbuns do Blaze , Seja na Era Maiden e carreira solo ...Vida longa Mestre Blaze 🙌🏻 ...Tive privilégio de assitir sua apresentação em pub aqui no 🇧🇷...
I've never been a fan of Blaze, not even a fan of Maiden... but damn this guy fully deserves respect and love, cheers to Blaze and all of you people. As he said, we are all important and beloved.
The other thing that I love about Blaze Bayley is that he is extremely thankful to all his fans. In every interview I have ever listened with him , he has always said that his fans are responsible for his success and that they are the only reason that he still gets to make new albums and tour. If that is what it takes , I have no problem at all buying every album Blaze makes because it is always amazing and great quality. He in my opinion has never made a bad album. His passion for music is so amazing to me.
I completely agree. Blaze is independent. He has no support from any record label, meaning that he doesn't have the funds or the resources that many others have yet he still puts out incredible albums. I buy his CD's (and vinyl records when he puts them out) so that he can continue to do what he does. He strikes me as one of the great guys in metal who genuinely appreciates his fans and the fact that they allow him to do what he wants to do for a living.
Great I love several song from Blaze when he was in Maiden, Lord of the flies, Virus, Afraid to shoot strangers, Man of the edge and lots of more great songs that he made.
Na época muitos reclamaram e foram contra a escolha de Blaze, mas sua fase no iron se tornou histórica e de muito sucesso para a banda. Up the Blaze!!!!
To be fair to Blaze his voice really has held up. Considering he recorded this song over 20 years ago he still sings it as well as he ever did. I'll always remember my first ever Maiden live show was with Blaze - October 1998 at the Newcastle City Hall. I prefer Bruce, but still love the Blaze era songs - Man on Edge, Futureal, Clansman, Sign of the Cross, The Unbeliever.
Blaze Bayley remind me on Elvis Presley and not only because of his sideburns but because of his simply human personality and love for audience, and because he really enjoy in music that he do.😊 Blaze is King.
Always loved Blaze. Genuinely great positive guy with a great voice who writes great songs. Criminally underrated musician.

How great Bayley! thanks for your music! I heard you for the first time when I was 9 years old, with the X Factor. Today I am 33 years old. Thanks! greetings from Argentina
When covid came out this is the first song i thought of i met blaze and aj pero in 2015 they had a band called the foundry aj died a week laterblaze and aj were
@@toddmitchell6362 For me one of the first. The very fist song which I thought of, was a title track from the 5th album "Corona De Epidemia" (2017) by Mexican War Metal band Morbosidad.
I was first introduced to Maiden in the 90s, and my favorite song was Virus! By the time I saw them live, Bruce was back in the band and they didnt play my song! Only later did I learn there were two lead singers. Great to finally hear it live from the man himself!
He has magnetism as well as talent. Very comfortable with his audience. His voice in lower register reminds me of Jack Bruce. Great stuff, more power to him.
Wonderful performance. Blaze is really giving a high-level performance here, working hard to deliver each note beautifully, including all the harmonies that he and his fellow band members nailed so well. What a treat!
I just got both live albums Live In Czech and Live In France earlier today that the only place I could find them was eBay. I also got his greatest hits double CD studio album Soundtrack Of My Life . I so far have listened to The Live In France CD and I am really impressed with how amazing it sounds and how phenomenal the songs are. I have always loved the two albums Blaze did with Iron Maiden. I love both of them big time and I have listened to both of them so many times throughout the years. I was one of the few Iron Maiden fans that accepted Blaze into the band and at the time it was a breath of fresh air because Iron Maiden's previous two albums in my opinion were weak. I love The X Factor and Virtual 11 way more than No Prayer For The Dying and Fear Of The Dark. Even Bruce Dickinson knew that they were not great Iron Maiden albums because he would have never left the band if he thought they were great albums. This song Virus is one of my favorites that Blaze did with Iron Maiden and it is a shame that Iron Maiden has never done it live not even once. I am so glad that Blaze is keeping his Iron Maiden songs alive with his band. His band did a phenomenal job on it.
Blaze, sou seu fã, serio mesmo cara, você é o cara, o amigo meu Gustavo, toca bateria pra você aqui no Brasil, ele fala muito bem de você cara, parabéns !!!
My favorite metal singer but maiden is my favourite band of all time but never got the absolute best of him but he has matured so much as a vocalist the last decade or so he is a criminally underrated singer just look at the infinite entanglement trilogy and absolute master piece and his music helped me through my cancer treatment
I’ve read today that he had a heart attack… 😢 This guy is SOOOOO underrated, as his Maiden’s albums, specially X-Factor… And as example of his talent is this song, which was an add-on of one of Maiden’s best-of. Great singer, hope he recovers soon.
best preamble in rock I've ever heard! Liked Blaze in Wolfsbane, loved him in Maiden, a breath of fresh, powerful air, but unfortunately the sheep wanted more of the same... massive respect for Bailey!
Essa música e The Clansman marcam a passagem dele pelo Iron. Muito subestimado e criminosamente vaiado pelos fanáticos doentes do Iron Maiden. Blaze sempre foi talentoso ao seu estilo.

Most definitely 👍🎸🎤🔉👏👏
😁🤘
Yup! He has a beautiful heart.
@Cazador Nocturno well it's the only goals we are gonna see for a while my friend ⚽️😣😣
During this pandemic in NYC I’ve rediscovered Blaze Bayley. He’s seems like such a genuine person.
He bloody well is!
still owe him pints
Sensacional Blaze, te adoramos no Brasil

besides the Angel and the Gambler, VXI is one of my favorite Maiden albums of the 90s to be honest
Lo preferisco a Bruce Dickinson

Queria muito conhecer este baita vocalista,foi a uma hora e meia de distancia daqui onde moro
E me amarro na carreira solo dele...acho que não perde em nada pra do Bruce (que também curto)!

Wow a crowd without phones in their hands!
We knew, there was a DVD footage of this ;) :D
Thats good people👍
if you ever will be on a Blaze show, you will understand why... He has something magic on scene live, that keeps your eyes and ears focused.

Damn! The speech at the beginning really hits me! All of my love and respect to you, Mr. Bayley, you’re a great singer. Blaze Maiden era is awesome!
Great I love several song from Blaze when he was in Maiden, Lord of the flies, Virus, Afraid to shoot strangers, Man of the edge and lots of more great songs that he made.
Afraid to shoot strangers isn’t from the Blaze era, but other than that, yes.
"BLAZE BAYLEY" marked my youth.. very fondness for this guy
Настоящий мужик. Заслуживает уважения.
Na época muitos reclamaram e foram contra a escolha de Blaze, mas sua fase no iron se tornou histórica e de muito sucesso para a banda. Up the Blaze!!!!
Happy Birthday Blaze Bayley!\m/❤🤘🎤
Blaze is one of the best guys in Heavy Metal community. Amazing dude. And Virus is a great song btw.
Get in shape, Blaze! We need you for another 25 years! Great voice.
@Flat Earth Florida He is recording, playing live and traveling the world.... The only sad old man here is you.
Oof
They can say whatever they want, but x-factor was/is an AMAZING album that I ever heard in all of my life !!!
i thought i'm the only one who likes x-factor . Cheers!
X-Factor is a great album, one of my favourite Maiden albums.
probably the best of them all. love the darkness in the songs. puts me in the zone 👍
That cover art was sick as hell too.
This simply blows away the studio version he recorded with Maiden. Blaze absolutely knocks it out of the park with this performance. Bravo sir!
Totally Criminally Underrated 🎤⚡️🔥😎🤘

It's perfectly ok to like both.
blaze sounds better than he did 20 years ago

blaze é um cara humilde demais, merece todo respeito pelo trabalho que faz no metal!!!
@Flat Earth Florida no interessa
Verdade ele no show pagou uma cerveja pra mim fora o papo show de bola 🍺👏🤘
The very best voice in all of Heavy Metal.

Thankfully his smile as he sings is more infectious than a virus.
Appropriate song for the times... Great job Blaze, you rock!
A true man that deserves respect !!! One of my favourite songs
Blaze, Brazil is your second home.
Glad to see Napoleon Dynamite rocking out
Hilarious!
All my respects, Mr Bayley.
Up the Blaze !
My life goal is being a cool guy like Bayley.
Blaze you are legend
How can anyone not love Blaze? It's impossible. He's such an amazing person! Love your albums, Blaze!
Very actual indeed. Listen very carefully to the lyrics, so true.
He has magnetism as well as talent.
Very comfortable with his audience.

Blaze Bayley sempre teve talento de sobra, talvez os fãs do Iron Maiden nunca souberam disso
I saw blaze few months back in my city, can tell he is genuine.
Blaze is incredible, the nicest and most hard working man in metal. Virus is one of my favourites and he does it justice here big time.
Is the best... Blaze is Awesome♠️🎤, blaze is Heavy Metal lml 😎
Maiden lo llenó de vida a éste muchacho.. disfruta éstos temas muchísimo!! bien por él! un tipo agradecido.
This is a great man. I will always love Blaze.
