"Man On The Edge" is a jam too. Blaze's vocals are pretty good here if you ask me.

The problem in here isn't Blaze per se, I think it is just that the song writing of the band at the time was bad and that has nothing to do with Blaze's voice (which is sad cause most people think this period of Maiden was bad thanks to HIM, which has led to him to have a pretty poor and undeserved reputation) even if Dickinson's might fit a little bit better to the standard sound of the band



But Blaze is one hell of a singer and he has awesome material. People, check Silicon Messiah, that shit is some dope m/

The problem is totally Blaze, and most of you guys can't relate. After listening to Bruce on 7 Iron Maiden records, 5 of which are 'classics', hearing Blaze on an Iron Maiden record was appalling. Now I'm not saying Blaze doesn't have talent, I am saying that he had no business being in Iron Maiden. To his defense, replacing one of the biggest and best singers of all time was one hell of a feat to even attempt.



It was one of the saddest times for me and many others, as Iron Maiden were the favorite band of many. They were lost.



And I challenge anyone who was born before 85 to disagree.

sign of the cross is actually great. it just sounds like shit

Blaze definitely fits with the tone and mood of the record. He may not have Bruce's vocal range but he has the heart that was needed for something emblematic of how rough Steve Harris had it at the time.

I was dreading this time, but the binge must go on.

I think it's the first time I am gonna go through this and Virtual XXI.

Help me... ):

No, fuck it, I can't do this. Hardly made it to the Aftermath. This a devoid shell of anything they were before. Like really sad stuff.
