He's definitely handled his post-maiden years better than Di'Anno. Also a lot more respectful and happy.

A total gentleman and a true artist and not one bad word to say about anyone . Love all his solo stuff and gives 100% . I wished the interview was a bit longer and about his solo albums . ++++

Never got into Blaze because I was old school Maiden, but in watching this video, he is really a class act. Cool guy!

True rockstar right here folks. He loves his job. He loves his fans. No BS and keepin' it real.

Such a humble guy, and yet so underrated

I think Blaze did an awesome job in Maiden. Bruce will always be my alltime favourite singer but that doesn't mean that Blaze didn't do a great job at Maiden. His voice fitted perfectly with those 2 albums (especially with the darker tone of The X Factor). His solo career is great as well. The Man Who Would not Die, Promise And Terror, Silicon Messiah all of those albums are simply amazing imo. I have a lot of respect for him. Humble, a real gentlemen, amazing singer. What's not to like about him? Awesome guy! :)

I would love to see Bruce, Paul, And Blaze do a triet (if that's what it's called) of blood brothers

Such a nice guy Mr Bayley

The thing about a festival with all three singers should definitely become reality. I have been hoping for that for years and years already. It would be the most unique thing that Iron Maiden still have the possibility to do.

Blaze is a gentleman.

If Blaze is pround for the years he has been in Maiden, im 1000 times more cause X-Factor is my absolut favorite album. Blaze your solo albums are masterpieces... i cant stop hearing Enture and survive album 2 monts now, all day. It became my nightmare! I wake up and i hear in my mind the songs!!!

I didn't really like Blaze when he was in maiden but he is talented and after watching this I'm a fan..what a humble cool man

RESPECT for this guy! he's a good singer and his maiden records are different!

Blaze is a hero to me!

Blaze is cool! He's totally humble, and a great guy overall, and not to mention I absolutely adore the work he put in with Iron Maiden. The X Factor is in my top three list of best maiden albums, because those songs represent a lot of emotion and feeling, and blaze connects with that in his singing so well, and also not to mention Virus...personally, my fave song with Blaze. I have not checked out his actual solo career stuff, but I am definitely going to, because I am very interested to see what it's like. Also not to mention I am all for the three singers thing...that would be an amazing experience for all maiden fans to see, especially all the newer generation of fans. But yeah, Paul would never agree to do that I think because he's probably still mad for them firing him, and if they bring the singers back for like a maiden fest, I think they should bring back pretty much all previous members of the band. Unfortunately, Clive Burr passed away, which is very sad, as being a drummer myself, Clive's beats and patterns have a lot of good stuff, and have inspired me quite a bit. But hey, this year is the 20th anniversary of the X Factor, and just maybe come the Fall time, since Bruce will have been recovered by then, they could bring Blaze and Bruce on stage together to sing songs off that album, and of course, maybe even some old classics. I would be incredibly happy if that could ever happen.

One of metal's gentlemen.. I think the Iron Maiden records with Blaze are special.

Dude Blaze is fucking AWESOME! The fact that you get to hang out with him in your living room is nothing short of amazing!

Sucha humble lad.. true gentleman in the metal world. Ex members of other bands would tarnish the bands name once they're out. Great voice with maiden too.. Stay Heavy Blaze \m/

What a man. Respectful and humble. True to the music.

9:48 wow! What a great guy. Hope he can be on stage with Maiden again someday.

I love Blaze!

TRIPLE MAIDEN SINGER CONCERT. YES!

I vote for that 3 singers stuff! It would be awesome! Wherever, however, who cares?! Paul, Blaze and Bruce! It would be awesome. It is all about attitude, choice and..... heavy metal, of course! Cheers! Btw, I really appreciate Blaze, for a fact that he's really a humble, simple, down to earth great metalhead singer. May God bless him and you all!

This guy is amazing. I already had Somewhere In Time, but I didn't love Bruce's high vocals at the time (I was barely a teen). I walked into a music store (they still existed at the time) and found a new release, The X Factor. I bought it because the art looked cool and I saw there was a new singer. It was very, very different from Somewhere In Time, and I LOVED it! It still is one of my favourite Iron Maiden albums, and always will be. The band is now in my top 5, maybe top 3, but who knows if or when I would have become a fan, had it not been for the deeper vocals of Blaze. (My taste matured as I grew older, and I love Bruce's vocals now.)

What a Gentleman Blaze is. Not bitter and twisted like Di'Anno.

One of the best gentleman heavy metal can have! His show was fantastic

I love his Maiden stuff. Was fortunate enough to see him on the Virtual XI tour, in Detroit.

Blaze Bayley rules period

blaze is a great vocalist. he brought a darker feel to those 2 albums. and paul dianno should just call it a career

A very dark vibe with blaze,exceptional album sign of the cross

tallented gentleman with incredible gratitude

See you in November in Montreal Blaze!

he looks like Uncle Fester! anyway, his performance with Iron Maiden is great, I totally like his contribution on Virtual xi.

Nice bloke,heard him interviewed by Bruce Dickinson when he had a Rock show.

He’s such an amazing man. Great attitude 🤘🏻

What a great guy!!Living his own music,with respect for what he did on the past!! Not some crazy load of crap like Paul Di Anno

What a decent man. Kudos to you Blaze.

He's a great guy and brought something interesting to Maiden. Got quite a lot of respect for ol' Blaze.

Man!!! I'm still waiting to hear a version of Dream of Mirrors with the wonderful voice of Blaze Bayley!!!!

I had no idea Blaze co-wrote Dream of Mirrors. That is one of my favorite Iron Maiden songs.

Looks like a nice guy, I am a huge dickinson fan but the X factor is one of my fav albums too, including the vocal

That would fucking Epic to see! Paul, Bruce and Blaze along with Stratton. Holy fuck yes

Blaze Bailey famously said when he joined Iron Maiden he’d never come back to Tamworth and set up a recording studio. He was suitably booted from Maiden, returned to Tamworth and set up a recording studio.

Great guy and great singer who was put in a tough live situation. X Factor is a classic. Hope he tours the states soon

All 3 singers??? Great 💡never say never!!!

The X Factor one of my fav Maiden albums some fantastic songs on there - Blaze got a bum deal with Maiden and with some Maiden fans, Blaze is a bloody good singer top guy that man Blaze!!!.

Blaze is a salt of the earth black country man. No bitterness about the Maiden split. He achieved a life's ambition being with them and when he got his first Maiden pay cheque he went out and bought a Jag, another of his ambitions. A successful humble and thoroughly great bloke!

I have to say, is very hard to compare the singing style of Bruce Dickinson and Blaze Bayley (if not impossible), definitely Bruce Dickinson is better on high notes, but Bayley is better with the low registers, which fitted perfectly to The X Factor P.D: The X Factor is on my top 5 favorite Maiden albums

What a great guy, seems like a cool dude.

I agree with Blaze. A One time Maiden nostalgia night would be fucking awesome. Scorpions did that at Wacken. Metallica did it. I would love to see Paul DiAnno share the stage with Steve again. Aint gettin any younger

I love The X Factor and Virtual XI. But Sillicone Messiah is an amazing album. 💪🏻💪🏻 I love Blaze. Much respect.

I love that man. His attitude is always so positive towards.....not just Maiden, when in reality, he was crushed by this. I think everyone is grown up enough to realise that replacing Blaze was the right thing to do when the chance arose. Blaze could oh so easily have come out and trashed Maiden/Steve for killing his dream. However, he's just so human about it all.....respectful to have had the chance to be the vocalist for 5/6 years.....and to do 2 albums with them. He's never (to my knowledge) ever said anything negative. And to be fair, Maiden (in particular Bruce) has always shown respect towards him. The guy is a legend. He got to live the dream that every other fan would kill for. He's had some fucking amount of shit to deal with over the last 20 years or so.....but he ALWYS comes back stronger. Speedy recovery Blaze, all the best to ya!

BLESS HIS FUCKING SOUL I LOVE HIM SO MUCH :,,)

what a decent man,not bitter like Paul Dianno was!

Wasted Years is one of the less acrobatic stuff from Bruce era, they should've played that one during His time in the band! :)

That's a true good good 100% good personality!

Love his song with maiden the aftermath

Saw the show with Blaze and Maiden Quebec. He introduced Wasted Years as a song he was not allowed to sing while on Virtual X tour. Steve didn't like to send money to Adrian back then ;-)

what a great guy...wish he come to Australia. love his 3 singers on a maiden tour idea but dianno screwed that idea up.

Blaze your a class act!!!

I would love the three singers in maiden. But Paul DiAnno's Attitude has always been shit. Especially when he speaks about Bruce and his 'opera voice'. ER! I DON'T SING OPERA, MAIDEN IS PUNK ROCK! Paul is pissed because he thought maiden sold out and he got fucked by that. To an extent Blaze got screwed too when Bruce decided to come back to maiden. People shit on Blaze, but, he filled a gap when it was needed and the 2 albums he did with maiden where good. But, people you know, it's not Bruce then it's shit.

Nice guy!

All 3 maiden singers should reunit and make tour with rest of the band,that would be great .. But probably will never happend :((

It's a great shame that they never tuned down for Blaze when he was touring with Maiden. Blaze and Bruce are on two different registers; they aren't comparable. He struggled so much trying to reach notes he couldn't reach and the band was _somehow_ unaware of it. I love Mr. Steve Harris but come on Steve, you wanted something different from Bruce but at the same time you still wanted Bruce. If you could've had everyone tune down their instruments, the live performances would've been much much better. Blaze's solo albums prove to the haters that he could sing fantastically all along. On the "X Factor" he did a fantastic job on vocals. Also what was Steve thinking when composing and writing "Angel and the gambler"? Having Blaze repeat the chorus over 5 minutes throughout the entire song? What the fuck was he thinking?! To this day I never understood why he was so bland during the live performances. He would just stand still and not move and jump around, which is odd, because he jumped around and made his presence known when he was in Wolfsbane. It might be because he was trying to concentrate on hitting notes he couldn't reach normally. In short, Blaze is a fantastic singer and his talent was unfortunately wasted while under the guidance of Steve Harris and his love-hate for Bruce at the time. No matter who they would've gotten, the fanboys would still bitch and moan to the moon and back

X factor is one of the best maiden albums released

You had Blaze inside YOUR house? That's awesome.

Esse cara é lenda viva veio fodastico

Why didn't Blaze get credit for co writing tracks on Brave New World?

I loved wolfsbane. Drove all the way to Newport to buy Radio kaos by Roger Waters, unfortunately the music on the cassette was Wolfsbane. Instead of turning around (upon discovering this on the way home)..by the time of the third track ame on, I was absolutely In love with it. Tears from a fool is one of the greatest songs ever written.

MAAAANHUNT MAAAN HUNT MANHUNT MANHUNT MANHUNT MANHUNT OOOHHH OHHHOOOO TUNE!

i saw him in the 80's with Wolfsbane in a shitty town called Burton on Trent...the venue held about 100 people!

🤘💃

His face reminds me a bit of a famous (here in Sweden) dessert maker on national television, Leila Lindholm. He looks like he could be her older brother.

Blaze is a down to earth and gentle and loving passionate man not a sick in the head bitter evil bastard like what Paul has become, but his idea of all three singers is fantastic! I do not like Bruce or Paul or anyone in the band except the guitar players who for me are the sound and the bedrock of Maiden. If you want to go back historically about bands where instruments made them great and you're focusing on guitars don't forget the band that originated it all The Byrds. They had a ringing crystal clear triple guitar at times attack and so did Buffalo Springfield. Music would naturally grow and move into other sub genres such as heavy metal, but it's all worth listening to except for that shit that sounds like The Cookie Monster After Too Many Cookies!

I love his 2 albums he did with maiden its strange to think that people back then always compared him to Bruce even tho they both were great but also had very different voices... yet in current day maiden 2022 Bruce dickenson sings more like blaze now due to the years of strain on his voice and struggling to hit the high pitches he did in his early maiden years and you know what I'm ok with that, I think blaze has a very good voice and his own style which works for him, as he really is not a high pitch singer

What's the song on the intro ?

Was Blaze Bayley in your house? Thats pretty rad.

Why is everyone a dick to Blaze? He's amazing!

Wow. What happened? That scene in south america where the guys in the crowd spit on him and he flipped out and stopped the show to scream at the crowd for awhile (yelling "fuckin' Annie" and "anyone else?!" and shit like that), did something happen after that which caused his head to look like this? Did someone bash blazes head with a baseball bat or something?

How good would Dream of Mirrors have sounded with Blaze on vocals

The X factor y Virtual XI son albumes fantásticos por el trabajo de Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Nicko McBrain y Janick Guers. Pero el de Blaze estropearon los álbumes

WHERE THE HELL DID HIS HAIR GO!?

He certainly has learned how to circumnavigate questions.

Props to Blaze! Great guy

Futureal!

He's a really nice guy, just not right for Iron Maiden.

I mean Mr. Bayley. My apologies.

где русские субтитры??!

That was a fucking 40-second intro.

Wolfsbane ruled!

Now it's maybe possible with AI cover brave new messiah 😅

The reason I dislike the blaze albums isn't because of blaze singing or even the songs themselves, it's the production the vocals and instrumentals sound so disconnected from one another as well as the over all mix, guitars just don't have that "punch" they were just poorly mixed in my opinion. But when you hear the songs live you really get that "something" that was missing from the studio versions.

Blaze is a good vocalist. But like now, maiden lost all of the 80s metal sound when he entered maiden, im not saying it is his fault at all, im guessing its harris who wanted to change the sound. But that is the reason people where not satisfied with him in maiden. The more dirty sound, made iron maiden something else and not for the better.

man who was just a wrong band, he voice not fine in iron maiden.. actually i like that legendary Group, Steve Harris, Bruce, adrian Smith dave murray and clive burr, also classic is albums where is, Paul di anno, they drop big mud with this guy, also little weak choice was, Nicko mcBrain, clive burr was and is in records best maiden drummer what they have ever, also image is and was best and fine ever..

best maiden singer ever

i know i am heretic, but for me is Di Anno>Bayley>Dickinson

I'm poot and I like fruit.

What happened to him? Did he have an injury? Was he in an accident? What happened to his head? It looks funny. Did a bomb go off near his head? It looks like he had an operation on his head and they left metal plates in his skull which deformed things. Anybody?

Szis ripetal shw! Ifnd omthng!! .

VIRTUAL IX...........THE WORST METAL CD EVER
