Blaze Bayley - The Edge Of Darkness from The Night That Will Not Die album 2009... original version from The X Factor album blazebayley.net/ - Tourdates
One of the most powerful live performances I’ve ever seen, of any song and by any singer. It sounds much heavier than the Iron Maiden version (which I also love). Steve Harris should have started a second band with Blaze alongside Iron Maiden, and made more epic dark songs like this. It’s easy to see why Harris chose him. He has a very operatic voice like Dickinson, but in the baritone range instead of tenor.
@@irene.777 nadie discute la trayectoria de blaze es bastante destacable sin el apoyo de un gran sello, mas bien independiente, the x factor le tengo cariño, fue mi puerta de entrada a maiden.
I´m lost for words...guys LISTEN TO THE VOICE....This is the pure definition of metal and its power to reign, downright incredible !! I simply love and admire this guy to the stars and back....he sounds like a gorgeous mix of heaven and hell, downright EPIC !!
WOW, The power of the voice....He´s an impressing singer, very dark, intense and captivating voice...this is the real deal, the heavy metal in all its glory.....I would love to see this performance with the Maiden and Blaze as the singer....
The power, strength and emotions in his voice makes me shiver all over....one of the most loved songs on the incredible masterpiece album the X-Factor he made with Maiden, THE most important album of their entire career, thank you Blaze for saving them, aswell as given us a proof of what a remarkable singer and amazing guy you really are....to me you´ll always be the ACE of metal singers, the ONE guy you never will be able to forget.....
I think the time in Maiden wasn't good for his reputation. That's a shame because Blaze did an awesome job in Maiden. And this performance..... wtf.. powerful and amazing. I think there are not many in heavy metal with such a powerful sound like Blaze.
ABSOLUTELY FU***ING MAGNIFICENT !!!! The power of his voice crawls into your bum, up your spine and spark your brain to space...THIS is a true metal voice !!!
I'm with you. Even though his recent album trilogy is great too. But he he has a bit less force /power now unfortunately. Here he was definitely at his best. A pity si many die forget about him in those years. I'm glad he didn't give up and is still creating great music.
Saw wolfsbane as a boy (23 years old),1989 i think it was.Newcastle Riverside,never have i seen a band with such personality and presence as they did,and still have a great memory of Blaze and the boys !!
His voice sounds darker than Bruce's on it because he is barritone, sounds great and dark on lower notes, mid range when Bruce has more incredible high notes, lighter but more powerfull, because he is operatic tenor. The vocal range means a lot.
The voice of a DEMON or an ANGEL ....either way the phenomenal voice leaves me shivering....Blaze´s got a voice that INSTANTLY grabs your heart and attention and just NEVER let it go......An Incredible performance !
Everytime I listen just amazing. To this or any of his records. Ive met alot of bands but i fear i will never get to shake this mans hand. I saw him on tour here in Memphis TN when he was with Maiden. Small club crammed to death and way over fire limits. Mayve 1500 people. Amazing.
This is by far the best song from the Blaze era of Iron Maiden. There's plenty of good songs out of that era (Clansman, Futureal, The Educated Fool, The Aftermath, Look for the Truth, Como Estais Amigos, Sign of the Cross, etc) but this is by far the best.
What an amazing show. Blaze doesn't really sing with this power anymore, he's gone very nasal and stuff. This may have been his last great filmed show. He's still awesome, but this performance really is incredible.
I´m shivering....the POWER of the voice !!! I must confess I admire Blaze to bits, he took a lot of crappy comments about his time in Maiden, but WOW he came out of it with more power in his voice than ever before, and THIS is the REAL DEAL, AS GOOD AS IT GETS !!!
Blaze is an excellent and amazing vocalist and artist, enough said, X factor is one of the best and darkest albums ever made, the mood and the atmosphere it creates was relevant to many people who were going through a bad phase, he cant be compared to Bruce because he was brought to replace a god and sing his songs which clearly wernt his style that s why he was bad with maiden covers, Blaze on his own or in X factor & V11 (although i dnt like it) is Excellent! his style is intense & he s a pro
I´m lost for words...I love the song, but the power of his voice makes your skin crawl and hits you like a hammer...I´ve only one thing to say : OUTSTANDING BLAZE !!!!
orgasmic performance . x factor if not the best for sure is the most mature album they ever made. the only maiden album i still listen from start to finish unskippable at my late 30s
1 of the best songs i've ever listed to! It's a masterpice like Smile Back At Death, While you were gone and Letting go of the world (and many others)!
When the whole band kicks in heavy...fucking hell. He's a goddamn animal! Imagine if he'd sung it like this on X Factor. Guy sounded great in Wolfsbane, has sounded great solo for years...why the hell was he so subdued on the Maiden records? That era feels like such a missed opportunity sometimes.
aldersmoke1 cause Blaze isnt singer for Maiden or Maiden band for Blaze, dont get me wrong i love both, and the Maiden albums in Blaze era have alot of great songs but his sing style and voice dont fit maiden or vice versa. Blaze has a lower voice good for heavy and gloomy stuff but for fast paced songs i dont like him so much.
aldersmoke1 The problem was that Maiden concerts ever not dropped a shade of the songs for the voice of Blaze and then he was more focused on trying to hit the notes. For this time it was awkward on stage which had never been in his Wolfsbane and in his solo career.
aldersmoke1 Watched this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9IwoFZSG7C0.html and this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PiVK-jOlaew.html
+aldersmoke1 Well, I think the bands instruments are tuned in D, while Maiden always plays in E. That's one step down in his solo band and of course a baritone voice like Blaze's will sound stronger in D.
Soooooo much more powerful than the studio version they should have tuned down and upped the tempo a bit more it just sounds flat and plodding in the X Factor
@@Neo-Midgar really ? I’ve tried playing along to a few maiden tracks from this set and they all seemed to be E flat or D standard rather than E standard like Maiden 🤷♂️
Great song, great execution of it aswell, but it is in this case when I miss the energy of Janick Gers... come on this is a song to jump and live it with energy !! but these guys are just there numb and motionless, feel it and show the fucking energy!!!!!
I agree about dimmu, they do seem to rely a lot on high tempo and blast beats. I do think borknagar can be pretty heavy sometimes, and Slayer was pretty brutal in their early days.
I agree for the most part, though I think Dimmu has some songs that are heavy, though I wouldn't include any of their new material or anything from the first 2 albums. SYL is pretty much relentless and unforgiving the first few times hearing them. I suppose it's hard for me to get into Blaze's work after hearing him in the two Iron Maiden albums where he was a bit out of place. I probably would have enjoyed those albums a little more if it was a separate project from Iron Maiden.
