I thought Dance Of Death was an excellent album. The Blaze Bailey stuff was lousy. His voice was shit compared to Dickinson's, and the songs began to get repetitive and boring during his era.

Dreadfully you can't compare Dickinson's voice with Bailey cause they are totally different and IMO Bruce voice is better addapted to the kind of music that Maiden do. Bailey on the other hand did a great job on the X factor, so good that Harris change the quick beginins of usual Iron Maiden with a more dark level, maybe harris was trying to change Maiden's musical trend to a darker level. Anyway some opinions of way of look Bailey's era??

I thought
Bailey
was a great vocalist
Don't Look To The Eyes Of A Stranger
,
Man Over The Edge
,
Futureal
,
The Clansman
are all classic
Maiden
songs as far as i am considered especially
Don't Look To The Eyes Of A Stranger
it's an 8 minute classic i think both albums are damn good, i love how alot of the songs start off nice and slow and the kick in at speed i could never understand the bad reviews. fine
Bruce
came back with the magnificent
Brave New World
but
Dance of Death
was awful, i thought
Bailey
was a step in a new direction...a good one...like the band had evolved again.
Anyone know what
Blaze Bailey
is upto these days?

Maiden r fuking awesome. theyr like 1 of the best things 2 com out of Britain. i got brave new world and Edward the great and Both r equally impressive. i love wickerman because the rhythm riff is so full of energy and Bruce's voice is limited but fantastik. GN'R r betta but Maiden r fuking gr8 2. the lead guitarist (4got his name) is superb.

Blaze has his own band, I believe its called Blaze. Maiden's guitarists are Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, and Janick Gers. They all switch off leads and they're all great. I wouldn't consider any of Blaze's songs classic. They still usually throw one in the live set and I wish they didn't. When I saw them they played Lord Of The Flies and it was by far the worst song of the set, even with Bruce singing it.

I'll give you that. When Blaze sings it its not that great, but when Bruce sings it its really good. That is a good song that was brought down by Bailey's crappiness. When you put Bruce on it its very good.

Brave new world proved that unlike some other old school bands that Maiden can still kick ass
Its almost my favorite album. Im just glad that bruce came to his senses and came back to the band he belongs in!

Yeah!! There's something In a way that Bruce sings The Clansman that Blaze can't. Bruce leads the song to a different level

True. Like i have said i am a big supporter of the 2
Blaze
albums they are class but the best bit is the songs,
Blaze
vocals are good but the songs are even better when sung by
Bruce
if he'd of done vocals of those 2 records i don't even think they would have got poor reviews, i think the problem is people did not like the change, just like many
M?tley Cr?e
fans dislike the self-titled album w/
John Corabi
not because it's a poor album but it's just not the sound or vocals they are used to, it's simple a
Maiden
album now has to have
Bruce
on vocals just like a
M?tley Cr?e
album has to have
Vince Neil
on vocals. Live versions with
Bruce
on vocals can be found on the
Eddie Archive
boxset and on
The Wicker Man
B-sides (
Futureal
&
Man On The Edge
).

But what about the Paul DiAnno albums. He sung on the first 2 Maiden albums. When Bruce took over the albums didn't get bad reviews, and he doesn't sound much like Paul DiAnno. Also I had been listening to Maiden for almost a year before I heard any Dianno Maiden and I still love those first 2 albums. They're among my favorite the band ever released. I honestly think Blaze was a bad singer.

It's interesting you say that because i think
Paul DiAnno
was an awful singer, those songs are good and once again i like
Bruce
's take on them but i think
Paul DiAnno
was poor, i'm sure i remember reading he was fired because the band did not think he was that good a singer, i'm probably wrong though, does anyone know the reason he left?

He left cause there were a lot of things going on with Paul's life that was interfeiring with Iron Maiden, Steve told him if he can still go on with Maiden which Paul said I can't so he left actually, wasn't that kcik out, but he was always consider that was kick out cause he was living the live of Rock Start drinking too much and stuff like that and doesnt give a good concert. So steve told him that is better for Maiden that he leave the group. Those were the 2 reasons why Paul left.
Now I think that Paul voice is great, dreafully as Paul said, The best Iron Maiden singer is Bruce, there's no one better than bruce, so I think he is right, bruce fits excellent in Iron Maiden profile.

Thanks for the infor dude
I think we can all agree then that
Bruce Dickinson
is the Ultimate
Iron Maiden
frontman and he sings all the songs better than anyone else can through his great stage presence and vocal ability. I'll be interested to see what the next album sounds, i hated the direction they took on the last but i've found that despite what people think they have a totally different range they don't all sound the same each album seems to have it's own uniqueness while still keeping the classic
Maiden
style. I would love to see another one in a similar vein to
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
i love the story throughout that despite the praise
The Number of The Beast
gets i would say
Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son
is the definative
Iron Maiden
album.

The Number of the Beast is probably the worst of Maiden's first 7 albums. Without Hallowed Be Thy Name on it, it would be a complete waste of an album.

worst?? you'd like better somewhere in time?? even the band didn't like that album, but NOB is a classic and it defines Iron Maiden's music from that time on.

Woah, slow down. I hate
Gangland
as much as the next man, but c'mon, it has
Invaders
, one of their best anthems ever in
The Prisoner
, and of course the two awesome crowd-pleasers
Run To The Hills
and
Number Of The Beast
, that everybody knows and loves. Then at the end
Hallowed Be Thy Name
, which is an absolute masterpiece.
I would say NOTB, Powerslave and Seventh Son are the three 'must-own' Maiden albums.
