VXI tour on youtube

[TinMan666]

I found some really nice quality concert footage from the VXI tour somehow. Oh that's right, it was linked in the Blaze doing "wasted years" video in the other topic on here.

Blaze is in top form for real. fkn awesome.



I think i'll always have a soft spot for this era of Maiden... possibly because i'm such a contrarian and I'm kinda proud that Maiden was STILL my favourite band when they had gone way out of fashion and it wasn't cool to like them anymore. That being said, it's awesome how popular they've become again in the past few years.

And just so you know i haven't gone soft in my old age, last night i posted this in a bulliten on myspace and then deleted anyone who replied back with anti-blaze comments

Blaze live in poland

Tinny, that was awesome And like you, I really enjoyed the VXI era

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I have a soft spot for it as VXI was the first new Maiden album to come out after I became a fan. When he is in form, Blaze is awesome. Can't wait for his new album.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

This thread inspired me to chuck VXI on. Loving it. Always loved Lightning Strikes Twice, The Clansman is awesome, and Como Estais Amigos is brilliant.

that whole concert seems to be up there if you keep clicking the "related" links. Gotta love youtube!

Ditto.

Considering that the Blaze years were still better than the final years of Bruce 1.0, I imagine that there are a few here who think like that.

*pleasantly surprised*
*thinking*

"Virtual XI" and "The X Factor" > self titled and "Killers"

*hopeful but still preparing to dodge furniture*

 

[Mark]

Well, I must disagree on Killers - I think it's a completely underrated piece of work - but X Factor is definitely one of their strongest albums.

*throws wicker basket*

 

[Southy]

X Factor is a strong dark album, and an awesome use of Blaze's deeper, darker voice. I have always loved Blaze's work, hopefully the new album will be ace as fuck

 

[Icarus]

X Factor is an awesome album, but nothing beats 1980-1988 Maiden.

 

[Spiff]

AMOLAD does. Best Maiden album ever.

 

[Sydo]

I haven't listened to any of the Blaze stuff (solo or Maiden) for years now!
Maybe it's time to give them a spin again.

 

[Goreripper]

I've never liked Killers that much, but the debut is awesome. It's almost a punk record.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

The X Factor is fantastic.

Finally watched it!

Awesome.
Don't know why, but I was under the impression that they never played Lightning Strikes Twice live. Or was the When Two Worlds Collide? (also a ripper)

edit - the vid does tend to support the theory that Jan cannot play a half decent solo.

 

[TinMan666]

try find the video of the on... uhh... some fkn show i can't remember the name of. They did "brighter than a thousand suns" & "hallowed be thy name"... jan's solo on hallowed is fkn BLISTERING.

Live at Abbey Rd. Was on a couple of months ago on ABC, but gets a regular re-run on Music Max.
