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.
Sign of the cross top 5 maiden songs for me no cap
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/
2 excellent albums
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.
Yes,very humble lad
This simply blows away the studio version he recorded with Maiden. Blaze absolutely knocks it out of the park with this performance. Bravo sir!
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.
@alien observer 'Cause I like metal... not much more... Internet is free, right?
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
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!
Blaze is one of the best guys in Heavy Metal community. Amazing dude. And Virus is a great song btw.
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.
X Factor is a very good album cause the band took a great chance," remodellin" its style...i dont care what die hard fans think,i still like it.
And yes,Blaze couldnt sing like Dickinson live but he did a hell of a job in studio...take the blame to mt.Harris,not him for christ sake!
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! 🤟🔥💪🎤🥁🎸🙏
Totally agree with your great comment! …Blaze is the King (...of my heart...) Staysafe,brother! \m/
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 ⚽️😣😣
"BLAZE BAYLEY" marked my youth.. very fondness for this guy
I brought every album from the first to the last so do not judge this bloke he worked hard with every album he is a legend
Blaze just looks so happy performing for his fans. Love Blaze
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!
Yeahh
Blaze is good
Virtual xi is good álbum 👍
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.
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
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.
Настоящий мужик. Заслуживает уважения.
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
Hell yea with Paul too!!
That would be amazing!!!!!
arrogant dickinson would never approve
@@filiproh2625Paul is not able to sing well as he used to in the past long Ago, unfortunetly.
Always loved Blaze. Genuinely great positive guy with a great voice who writes great songs. Criminally underrated musician.
How can anyone not love Blaze? It's impossible. He's such an amazing person! Love your albums, Blaze!
The man is already a legend.
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
Blaze Bayley is a monster of rock music! One of the best vocalists!
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.
A true man that deserves respect !!! One of my favourite songs
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
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)!
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!
Up the Blaze !
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
a hell of a front man, much respect for blaze bayley for having the courage to step in and out of Iron MAiden, beautifull words, by the way
Totally Criminally Underrated 🎤⚡️🔥😎🤘
Now we can sadly say Virus is a timeless song. Long live Blaze
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.
And for the same reason as within the song
Appropriate song for the times... Great job Blaze, you rock!
I remember when Blaze Bayley left Maiden, there was news that he was going to start another band. I just discovered Maiden a few years before and starting playing guitar also around the same time I discovered Maiden. I was like wishing to be the next guitarist of Blaze but of course I would probably not have make it in the audition and my dad was saying stuff like: if it seems to good, then it's not real. Then I kind of forgot about the idea. I never was in a big band but continued my dream and did a few shows with my bands. I wrote a lot of tunes during the years. Been playing for 28 years now and love guitar and Maiden and Blaze. Peace!!!
Jd
Fukin Blaze tearing shit up....great performer, every bit in his prime 🤘
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!
Sensacional Blaze, te adoramos no Brasil
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!!!!
The very best voice in all of Heavy Metal.
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.
Happy Birthday Blaze Bayley!\m/❤🤘🎤
Thankfully his smile as he sings is more infectious than a virus.
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.
It's perfectly ok to like both.
blaze sounds better than he did 20 years ago
Blaze Bayley the best!
Blaze, you're the man!
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 🍺👏🤘
Blaze you are legend
One of the finest in Maiden's catalog. Blaze kills it!!
this is so underrated... he's a great singer and front man... i love his iron phase and solo career... Blaze, you're the man
Your dream is our dream, dear Blaze!
🤘🤘🤘🤘 ♥️
Greetings from Denmark
Its crazy how his voice hasnt changed man
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.
The man hasn't lost a beat. They are so tight.
Que Groso Blaze, sos un genio, sabelo!!
I love x factor and virtualxI. I don't care what anyone says both albums rock. Great vocals!!
All in your mind! All in your head! 🤘🏼
My life goal is being a cool guy like Bayley.
All my respects, Mr Bayley.
He seems so happy and close. You can make it and thank life. Blaze is awesome !
Blaze is a badass metal singer! all good vibration for you ,Blaze!
Blaze you are legend
You are piece of my music history
Great guy
Blaze is awesome!! great vocal!!
Such an underrated band. Great performance, great song.
Blaze is amaizing singer.
Very actual indeed. Listen very carefully to the lyrics, so true.
Blaze, cheerrs from Brasil!🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
say the hell you want, but the x factor is in my top 5 maiden albums, and it gets better with the years. But Bayley solo career is full of great songs and this guy deserves so much more recognition, always humble and dedicated to the world of heavy metal and his fans, i hope he is doing ok and fully back to health and doing more music.
Proud to be a friend of this legend
Glad to see Napoleon Dynamite rocking out
Hilarious!
I really like this song :) Blaze is a good man!
This song is truly a masterpiece from many dimensions and perspectives. Thanks so much for this great live version.
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.
Great voice and band, thanks Blaze and your band's mate. I like their behaviour on stage, you guys have a lot of fun, respect !
one of the best Iron Maiden Songs!! Love you Blaze!!! Come again to Brazil!!!!
Master 🇵🇪🇵🇪🤘🤘🤘
Avante mrs blaze querido! Um forte abraço a você se cuida guerreiro. Nos te amamos 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👏🏾👏🏾🤝🏾🤘🏾🤜🏾👊🏾👍🏾🇧🇷🇧🇷❤❤❤❤❤❤
Finally a singer that I can sing along to, singing in my range!
Holy God....if I only could express with words how much I miss the happy times when we used to be free to go to a Blaze 's concert....without fear of this f###ing Virus...enjoying the music,the brotherhood and lot of fun,all together...now everything changed...we became "rats in the cellar " with the quarantine. So sad,so serious...bored and worried... :-( Btw,Love from Italy to Bayley Alexander Cooke,the Clansman, ....and hugs to all of you. Chiara. \m/
Ciao Chiara w l'Italia e w Blaze ! Marco
@@marco79cfc Ciao,caro amico! \m/ anche tu in casa?
@@chiaracaniaticarlucci4779 eh sì come credo tanti in questo periodo,niente di meglio per passare la serata che un po' di buona musica!😉
Di dove sei tu!!!

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.
Great!!! Amazing!!!! I saw you Dear... with Maiden in Brazil 1996. I like too much!!! Congratulations Dear... you´re the winner!!!! Great Hug Leo (Sao Paulo - Brazil)
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!
What a legend! So proud that he’s my friend, one of my favorite singers of all time. He has a great dark, underground, metal voice, like Bane (Tom Hardy) at Dark Knight Trilogy! Thanks... Wolfsbane & IRON MAIDEN HERO!
This is a great man. I will always love Blaze.
Yes, why not a reunion? Hey Steve, we deserve see them together!
I checked this out of curiosity, as I got the single Virus when it came out, but I stopped listening to Iron Maiden when I got heavily into Metallica that same year. However I keep coming back to watch this, as I just love his little endearing speech at the beginning. I bet he's the sort of person that would lose at monopoly and not throw the board in bitter mardiness
Yeah! You are very important to me Blaze! Thank you!
Just 1 word NICE.....
Hail BLAZE BAYLEY....
Always admired Mr Bayley...great singer and a down to earth guy.
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.
Blaze, Brazil is your second home.
First home…
De la PM !!!! Great Blaze Bayley !!
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.
