What do Blaze likers think of Bruces solo stuff?

on this NG, I have noticed that the Blaze dislikers seem to like Bruce as a

I like Blaze and I think Bruce's solo albums are great. Don't care for
Tattooed Millionaire though (and I haven't heard Skunkworks). That's why I
have always said now I have two great bands to listen to instead of just
one.

I have some of Bruce's solo stuff, and I think it's very good. I bought
Tatooed Millionaire when it first came out (after listening to it of course)
and I still put that on when I want a bit of laid-back rock 'n' roll. I
never really got tired of it. But I think Accident of Birth is his best
solo album that I have. Chemical wedding is also pretty good too, but just
not as good as AOB IMO.

I like Blaze, and I like Bruce's solo stuff too. For
me Blaze is the next logical step for Maiden. If Steve
would get back to fast driving complex bass lines it
would be even better.
Bruce on his own is great. RoyZ is starting to get
predictable though. I think Bruce and Adrian should get
more songs on the CDs. Their song writing now is much better
than when they where in Maiden (example: Bruce's later
stuff after Seventh Son).
I just like both for what they're worth. Calling someone a
fat bastard is funny but not when you're serious about it.

What, In your opinion, would have been the next illogical step for
Maiden?
Peter R. Cook
To get another operatic singer when such styles are
completely out. To get another uppity stuck-up, thinks
he's god singer. To get another singer that would try to
be exactly like Bruce.

I agree. Although RoyZ is fine - great, even - I thought that Bruce
would have served himself better if he'd taken a bigger step forward
after AOB, as AOB had been a huge step from Skunkworks (although I
tend to prefer Skunkworks over AOB, depending on my moods).
It'd also be nice for Bruce and Adrian to write an *entire* album
together. Adrian still remains a largely untapped talent, as far as
Bruce's records go - how many songs have they written on AOB and CW
combined? Five?
A true Bruce&H album would be to die for.
The Educated Fool
are absolutely brilliant, particularly his latest two. So far, I only
have Balls To Picasso, Accident of Birth, and The Chemical Wedding. I
may get the other two, particularly Skunkworks (after hearing so many
good things about it on this NG). The Chemical Wedding is definitely
the best album of the year (yes, better than Virtual XI, though I still
think that album is cool). I am starting to like The Chemical Wedding
more than Accident of Birth even. I just hope that on the next album,
there are more Dickinson/Smith songs. “Road To Hell” is oh so much
better than the last Maiden Dickinson/Smith song (“Hooks In You”).

well, I doubt that. If they ever do a reunion, they will probably play all
their best songs, and if Bruce likes some of the tracks that were recorded
after he left, then why wouldn't he sing them? If he wouldn't then his ego
would be as big as you think Steve's ego is.

Did Ozzy sing Dio's songs after he came back, did Ian sing Coverdale's
songs? You only sing the songs that were written before you came and
while you're in band, everyone knows that. It's not the ego.
Tom Fletcher
Braveheart, which is a good film. The lyrics are OK, but the music is not
good. I don't like this song live, especially with that slow intro. The
music suits the song, but just after listening to TAATG, and LST, i'd give
it a miss. Even though I don't like VXI, the best song has got to be
Futureal. It is short, and fast. Not a perfect song by far, but the only one
I can listen to.

I think Clansman is an exception. Cut out some of the repetitious stuff
and get Bruce wailing on the mike... sound pretty cool I'd say.

It is 100% ego!! What singer wants to come back into a band and admit they
released killer material without him? Besides some artists play the music
that was written while they gone from the band. I can only think of two at
the moment: Danny Joe Brown of Molly Hatchet always performed Beatin' The
Odds live (he wasn't on the album), and Joe Perry played music off Rock in a
Hard Place (hell, Steven Tyler even included a Perry solo song on the Done
With Mirrors album).
Curtis
Igor Bratic
Remember Ozzy, Ian? If Bruce comes back for a reunion tour they'll
proabably play a setlist similar to 1988 one with some additions. He's
not gonna do Blaze stuff. None of the better known singers did
something like that.
Igor Bratic
Are you trying to compare Bruce era stuff with Blaze era stuff? He
could choose between about 50 killer songs like Caught Somewhere in
Time, NOTB, The Trooper, Infinite Dreams and so on and he's gonna sing
song off Virtual or X-Factor. That has nothing to do with ego. It's
called taking good stuff over crap. Besides, Steve would have to
completely re-write a song if Bruce was gonna sing it.

Do you not read what you write!?! This isn't about Blaze vs Bruce, but the
fact that musicians don't play others music due to egos. Black Sabbath
released awesome music with Dio and Purple did the same with Coverdale, the
reason Ozzy and Ian don't sing these songs though is because of the reasons
I stated earlier. Whether you like Maiden's music with Blaze, whether it is
popular or not, doesn't really matter. Whey would Bruce play this music and
admit to others that it is good?
Curtis
PS - Using your earlier logic, that would mean if Paul rejoined Maiden he
would only be allowed to sing songs off the first two albums!! "You only
sing the songs that were written before you came and
while you're in band, everyone knows that,"
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Well, if Bruce rejoins Maiden, I strongly believe that their gonna play few tracks
from Blaze albums. And I think even you Igor have to admit that there are good songs
in Blaze albums.
Allthought this depends on a small thing. Is Bruce going to make a reunion tour or is
he going to JOIN in the band again. If they do just a reunion tour, they propably
going to do just the classics. But if Bruce is going to write a new album with Maiden
and going to tour after that, I think their gonna do some Blaze material.

Compared to stuff on NOTB and PoM, there are no, NO good tracks on Blaze
albums. Besides, you think Steve would play The Tower, or Road to Hell?
Hell no.

You just don;t get it. Blaze's tracks are really weak. He could pick

I think that that would be one byline in the contract if Bruce ever
did come back. Maiden would play at least one Bruce Dickinson song,
_other_ than "Bring You Daughter..." And just as I would think that
would happen, I also believe Bruce would _definitely_ have to sing at
least one or two Blaze-sung songs. But I just don't see it happening
anytime soon, if ever, where Bruce will rejoin Iron Maiden for another
studio album. Maybe a tour(though I highly doubt that as well) or
one-off anniversary gig, but another studio album? That's a longshot.

Unfortunately, they lost that combination pretty much after LAD. SiT and

But, the songwriting on the last few Maiden efforts haven't had *any* of

I much prefer progressive. That's why I like Helloween, King
Diamond/Mercyful Fate, HammerFall, and that sort of stuff. But
unfortunately the last few IM albums haven't been progressive either, so
until they pull that off I'll stick with Bruce, he at least has half the
combo down...

"We plan ahead, that way we don't have to do anything right now"-

epic-edgy-prog-technical songs. Maiden combines aggressive and progressive
in an unique way. Dickinson doesn't.
As far as singing goes, I like Bayley better than Dickinson on NPFTD and
FOTD (though 1980s Dickinson blows away Bayley). I like TXF and VXI better
than the previous post SSOASS albums both for songwriting and singing.
However, the production on TXF and VXI sucks ass. Also, there aren't enough
twin guitars or drum fills. As a result, new Maiden doesn't sound as
aggressive as their old stuff. But, the heart of the music is still there:
TXF and VXI are like cake without the frosting. Dickinson's solo stuff is
like the frosting without the cake. Better production and more fluff....
but not much prog-depth songwriting.
So, it depends on your tastes... there are a lot of Maiden fans who don't
like Maiden for the same reasons as me (they're one of those bands that you
can appreciate on many different levels) who are going to like Dickinson
better than new Maiden because aggressive is more important than progressive
to them.

YOUR opinion.

Igor Bratic
No, it's not my opinion. It's a fact. NOTB-SSoaSS stuff is better than
anything off TXF or VXI. You can like the newer stuff more than Bruce's
stuff, but it's not better. You can like Mazda better than BMW, but you
have to admit that Mazda is crap compared to BMW.

Why do you think that is? if bruce rejoins with _Maiden_, then they would
play Maiden tracks. If Steve joins Bruce's band, then they would play songs
from Bruce's solo album and some Maiden tunes.

so, with your reasoning, Mozart is better then Maiden? No. it's just a
matter of taste. With cars, you can say that one brand is better then the
other, because the used materials are better, the service is better, the
tired last longer, etc...
but with music, you just can't do that, and that's why it's a matter of

He was more talanted, that;s for sure, for god's sake, he wrote an opera when
he was 8, Steve didn't know what a bass guitar looked like when he was 8.

Hate to argue with you, but where is this RULE written down? The bible? The
Torah Scroll? Is it a religious thing? You'll have to tell me if it is
becuase I don't follow any religion. And if this rule is true, how come
Bruce did Paul's stuff? Even though I don't like Blaze, I don't agree with
your rule system.
Oh, and, btw, I didn't know about the rule, so that would be "He's not gonna
do Blaze stuff, that's a rule, everyone knows that, apart from Tom

Right. I think that had mostly to do with Bruce's mindset _and_
Adrian's. I don't think they put their total, dedicated selves into
7th Son, though it still is a great album. I think that if they did,
it would've been even better.

I think it has _ALOT_ to do with Bruce's band being younger and the
whole attitude that goes with it. Maiden has lost the fire, the
desire, the drive. It doesn't help that metal itself has also lost
it's footing, especially in the USA. I wonder what started to die
out first, metal or the metal bands' fire and enthusiasm?

Igor, it's not a fact. Album sales alone do not determine if you or
the kid down the street is gonna buy an Iron Maiden or Alannis
Morrisette(sp?) CD. There are some who think the Blaze-era of Maiden
is better than anything before it. There's nothing wrong with that;
it's their opinion. And personally, I'd take a top-line Infiniti or
Jeep Grand Cherokee over a Mercedes any day. If you want to give me a
Mercedes, fine, but I'll send it the next day and buy something I
really like. :-)

you be in a local pub band with Jannick and Blaze? Jannick would be jumping
around and galavanting around on the tables, and Blaze would shout "Come On"
and everyone would shout "FUCK OFF". Would YOU use those "materials?". The
"service" could be a translation of "gig". It would be shit. The tyres

HAHAHAHA! Good one. This album is 100 times better than TXF or VXI.
It even contains (gasp!) a cover song, something Mr. 'Arry would never
put on an album, besides, Janick fits into the overall mood of the album
perfectly.

Bruce wrote that song all by himself, it reached no 1, when Blaze writes
a song that would go above 50, call me. Oh yeah, Blaze is musically
illiterate, he can't play any instruments. Well, that's too bad.

Millionaire 100 times better than TXF or VXI!?!?!? I'm afraid your hearing
is failing you Igor. As for the cover song I think Kerrang magazine said it
best "as he completely murdered Mott The Hoople's 'All the Young Dudes' on
that first solo album."

That's good... however, even if you don't like Blaze, you've got to admit
that he couldn't screw up the singing on NPFTD any worse than Dickinson did

That's ironic coming from a guy that thinks Blaze has a good voice. I

yourself.

Well since we're gonna use reviews instead of giving a valid argument from
our own minds maybe I should dig up some reviews of Virtual Turd. I don't
think I ever saw anyone give it more than 2 stars, tops.

Just for the record, it's a David Bowie song. And second, anything,
ANYTHING Bruce sings on is better than VXI or TXF. Bruce could be a
guest on a Spice Girls song and it would be better than anything with
Blaze.

I like Blaze, you don't, who really gives a shit. Igor likes TM better than
Blaze's albums and I respect that, but he stated that it was a FACT that TM
is better. Well it's not a fact and I for one don't like the TM album, and
I think Bruce can (and has with his last albums) do a hell of a lot better
than he did on that album.

FOTD.
No no no! FOTD is one of the best Maiden albums I have heard. Maybe if the
tracklist went:
Be Quick Or Be Dead
From Here To Eternity
Afraid To Shoot Strangers
Wasting Love
The Fugitive
Chains Of Misery
Judas Be My Guide
Fear Of The Dark
and then use Childhoods End, Fear is the key, Weekend Warrior, and the
Apparition as b-sides.

Sorry Igor, BUT.....
Even though I don't like Blaze and Jannick, they have wrote a song which got

contributed to.

I agree with you on your assessment of FOTD, except that I would
substitute Be Quick Or Be Dead (hate that song) with Childhoods End (a
pretty good song) and put From Here To Eternity (Bruce sounds like an
AC/DC rip-off) as a B-side as well, and then you would have a very good
CD. This would have been the perfect release of FOTD IMO:
1. Afraid To Shoot Strangers
2. Childhoods End
3. Wasting Love
4. The Fugitive
5. Chains Of Misery
6. Judas Be My Guide
7. Fear Of The Dark
I know it would of been short, but effective nonetheless.

I really like TM. It reminds me a lot of when Bruce was with Samson. I
can't understand why you and others don't care for this one. I much
prefer it to the boring Balls To Picasso.
>Ozzy Osbourne - Never Say Die
It was actually Black Sabbath, but this is a great album IMO!! This is
very underrated. It may not rank up there with the likes of Paranoid,
Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, etc.. but still a killer release. It's just a
little different, but how can you hate songs like Shock Wave, NSD,
Johnny Blade, Air Dance, and Over To You that are on it?

Whoa!! 100,000% dude! Finally another person that sees FOTD for the
brilliant album it is. That tracklist is damn near perfect..I'd just stick
Childhoods End on there too.

Bruce wrote Run to the Hills by himself and that song made Maiden the
biggest heavy metal band of the 80's, he also wrote Powerslave and
Revelations.

it exactly about
Bruce's voice on these two that piss so many
people off? I sat down
with some headphones and listened to both while
reading this NG
and can't understand why people hate them so much.
I know there is
a few people that like them out there but we are
in the minority it
seems. I honestly like both alot! I would take
these two over The X-
Factor or VirtualXI any day but that's just me. As
far as Janick on
guitar, I think this "Janick the Butcher" topic
has perpetuated itself
for so long that no one will step up and say they
like him. I know there
are a ton of better guitarists out there but there
are even more
worse ones. I'm not defending the guy, but he has
his own style of
playing. If Steve wanted a Adrian clone, he
probably could've found
one-same with Blaze replacing Bruce. Getting back
to the last two
Bruce albums- it just seems to me that people are
coming out of
nowhere tacking on comments like the one I'm
responding to. This
isn't aimed just at Hue Jass, so don't take it
that way. But this thread
is going nowhere with all this childish crap.
Reading through all these
"me too" type responses are annoying. Everyday,
this NG is looking
more and more like the Metallica NG. Nothing but
petty bickering
going on.

As far as the Janick thing goes, I think overall
he's a good
guitarist. Wait a sec, before you flame me! I play
guitar, have
for about 10yrs now. And I am a little more
critical of other
musicians than others sometimes. Some of the riffs
and solos
he does are great and some aren't. I don't care
for all the
dancing around he does on stage but thats his
gimmick. I
like his style on Bruce's Tattooed Millionaire
album a little
more than his work with Maiden but I still like
the guy. Is he
perfect for Maiden? I dont know. I dont think
Maiden will
ever have an all-star line up like they once had.

I'm interested to know if you feel I present cases like that. I've

It's not Bruce's vocals that make me dislike these albums either. It's
mostly subpar songs and some of the lamest lyrics they have ever written.
Igor Bratic
Lamest lyrics? Compare ATTS, Childhood's End and NPFTD to 2 AM, Como
Estais Amigos and Futureal. Talk about lame lyrics. 'What is real...'
Dave Mustain can't write lamer lyrics than Mr. Cooke.

"Weekend Warrior"
to just about any other from the last two
(TXF/VXI).
"I get in from work at 2a.m.

That goes for the music too. The songs are boring
IMO
and lack any real effort. There are no great
solos, riffs,
or drum fills save for a couple of songs I'll
admit. But for
the most part, it's like they just going through
the motions of
releasing an album for contract reasons. At least
when
I put in No Prayer, I know I can look forward to
some
up-beat, hard-rocking songs. Same with FOTD. There
are some great songs on there that people forget
about
and dismiss the whole album as crap. I don't hate
Maiden's last two albums by any stretch of the
means,
but I do have to be in a certain mood to listen
through
them, where I can pop in ANY of Maiden's last 9
anytime
and enjoy them fully.

Was the fact Bruce was never credited for this song because he was
still signed to Samson? If so, why did Steve get all the credit for the
song, apart from the fact he would have cried if he didn't get his own way.

I like a lot of the things he's done, but they just don't seem to lift
the song to another level, and that may also do with his sound. For
the most part, I agree with you.

I don't like most of the lyrics from all the albums past 7th
Son.....now that could be because of the way they were sung or because
I just didn't like the lyric(s), but whatever the case may be, I think
Maiden's lyrics have been subpar, along with the music, for a while

Yeah, he wasn't allowed to write anything for maiden for a year. That's
why wherever Bruce should be credited on NOTB there's Steve's or Clive's
name. Steve only wrote NOTB, Hallowed, Children and Invaders.

Thank You! Someone thinks the same same way as I do. I first read these

"this sounds like a bit of a lame song". I mean, what do those lyrics really

No Tonnie. They didn't pay _because_ they didn't give Bruce the
