Blaze Rumour !!

So howd blaze fuck up Maiden? It was Dickenson that left. You can't blame the guy for trying to take over. I don't think anyone would have been happy with anyone. But, I think he's a little boring as a vokillist. I'd rather see Ripper. Or someone else.
 
Blaze did not fuck up Iron Maiden. Talk about having it rough, he was unfairly bashed by everyone because he wasn't Bruce Dickinson. I think he did a good job. If you think that something had "killed" Iron Maiden, then it was probably the songwriting or lack of creativity (although I disagree a bit with that, I like all their albums)
 
Yeah, the problem with this albums is that Steve Harris hasn't written ANYTHING original and fresh since 1988, and he refused to change his style at all for a new singer. Priest, by contrast, changed their style for the WAY worse when Ripper came in...both singers had really shitty jobs, and took too much blame for what wasn't their fault.

Exactly.

Though I really like TXF, and while VXI is probably Maiden's worst album, it still has some good material on it.

Well atleast you like Vivi so I wont go apeshit on ya. Bruce left yes. But Blaze does NOT have a voice to sing Maiden at all. He sounds horrible when singing older songs and I have tons of mp3's where he forgets words or puts in other words. Most notably is The Trooper.

Now say it with me.... vocalist.
