Now bear in mind that it was supposedly for an Italian magazine, and has been 'translated' by a poster on the IM BB, who is Italian. I don't know if it's a wind-up.....but if he did say these things.... 
Here it is an interview from the Italian magazine "Metal Shock", which took place at the "Gods Of Metal" festival (June) on the 1st day (Blaze played on the 2nd). Mr. Bayley has something to say...
METAL SHOCK: Hi Blaze, Im Aldo of Metal Shock, may I ask you some questions?
BLAZE BAYLEY: Hi, sure, no problem!
MS: First of all, how are you?
BB: Pretty well, thanks, I am looking forward to getting on this stage tomorrow and playing!
MS: Great! I see you havent lost your typical pluck!
BB: Of course [laughs]. How did you like my new record?
MS: Oh, to be honest I found it a bit below par and less incisive than Silicon Messiah...
BB: Well, mmh... In my opinion its more obscure and heavier than Silicon, but I can understand...
MS: Has the idea of reforming Wolfsbane and playing again that powerful rock n roll ever flashed through your mind?
BB: No, thats a closed chapter that I dont think Ill reopen. Times changed and reforming Wolfsbane nowadays wouldnt make sense any more. You know, after all ten years ago there were a market and a scene that let us go ahead, today, too many things have changed...
MS: Did you like Brave New World?
BB: Yes, it seemed a good record to me [he said that with a rather sad tone in his voice]
MS: Excuse me, can I ask you some hot questions?
BB: Sure, I dont have any problem.
MS: Ok, thank you. I consider you to be a great singer, but with Maiden your abilities werent quite brought out...
BB: In which sense?
MS: Simple: you arent Dickinson, I mean, you have got a singing style different from Bruces one and Iron Maiden, instead of esteeming your skills, imposed you styles which didnt belong to you, i.e. Bruces...
BB: Well... in fact its true. I knew myself I wasnt Bruce, but in the end what was I supposed to do, they wanted this and I tried every way to accomplish what they were telling me. But even if I was Blaze and not Bruce, I had to be Maidens singer and nothing else, I had to sing what they wanted me to, my technical needs were of secondary importance.
MS: Do you use the plural to be correct, or because decisions in Maiden are really taken together?
BB: In which sense?
MS: Tell me the truth, does Steve Harris take all the decisions or not?
BB: Maiden are Steve Harris and its obvious that he is the one who takes all the decisions.
MS: Excuse me, I have a thesis to show to you: some think that the Maiden reunion has been a sort of toll story with a vague commercial taste. Ill tell you even more, it seems that up to this day the personal relation between Dickinson and Harris isnt exactly rosy...
BB: Surely every doubt is allowed... As for the relation between Steve and Bruce, I cant tell you anything, while regarding the commercial aspects, it seems unlikely that it took place for other reasons than economic ones...
MS: Getting to the core, is it possible that the rest of the band play with Harris for economic motivations?
BB: [a moment of reflection] Yes...
MS: Steve Harris today, is he an entrepreneur or a metal head?
BB: I am a metal head, I live on metal, I believe in heavy metal. Steve Harris doesnt...
MS: Ok, concluding, looking to your past, are you happy of the period you stayed in Maiden?
BB: Certainly! The years I lived with Maiden were the most beautiful of my life! I went around the world, I sang some great songs. Apart from the events, either good or bad, I owe a lot to Iron Maiden, they gave me much and I owe them much, thanks to them I grew very much and I cant but be happy for this!
[At the end of the interview, we took some photos with Blaze and accidentally we made his baseball hat fall down: Blazes much suspected baldness wasnt a myth but the reality.]
