Was Joey Belldonna considered to be Iron Maiden's singer?

[Bad Mr Frosty]

An unconfirmed list of the singer canidates after Bruce left that band is:

Blaze Bayley, U.K.
Dougie White, U.K.
Marco Hietala, Finland
Andre Matos, Brasil
Joe Belladona, USA
Solli, Norway
James LaBrie, USA

Of course it was Blaze Bayley who got the job. I don't know if this is true or not, but It's interesting speculation. Mr. Belladonna might have been a lot more succsessful than he is now...

how do you know this?

 

[Bad Mr Frosty]

It was posted on the Maiden board, I don't know where they got it.

Like I said, purely speculative, but I just thought it was interesting...

 

[megajon]

He'd have been better than Blaze.

 

[Ayeka]

The X Factor with Joey Belladonna?!?! Sorry, but Blaze was the man for that album...

Anyone caught his new band? Fucking fantastic, they be!

 

[nafnikufesin]

I find it a little hard to believe. It may have revived Joey's career, but it wouldn't have done much for Maiden...

 

[DEVIANCE]

all i have to say is maiden needs to update the web sight the news hasnt been updated since june 7th

I had a dream last night, Joey started a band, but played drums.
Dan played guitar & Big Billy was singing.

They called themself DOTS ( Death Of The Stormtroopers)

Belladonna was also considered as singer for Vicious Rumors years ago, i don't know why it didn't happen. german RockHard magazine even confirmed it!

Joey would have kicked ass with Maiden

 

[Deege]

Similar style, not enough pitch control. But still would have done better than the unknown Blaze Bayley probably.

 

[Thrashard]

can't imagine Joey fronting Maiden, Bella Maiden, a Bush Maiden would be something different.

Bush did The Wicker man for some tribute album. It was a good performance.

Irondonna?

Bush did THE WICKER MAN? never heard of it, i only know REMEMBER TOMORROW which i like.

NAF!

Long time, no see. I agree with what you said. I had heard Geoff Tate applied. Probably a rumor.

PS....The kids are all growing up!! Good work!

 

[Thrashard]

Bush fronting Metallica and Bella fronting Maiden would be funny.

It's a great song......you would love it!

Don't know where this list comes from, but in magazines there was also speculation about Helloween's Michael Kiske joining Maiden. Now THAT would have been an interesting choice.
