Blaze Bayley - The most important thing about Iron Maiden

In the Trooper Lounge at Planet Rockstock 2022, former Iron Maiden frontman Blaze Bayley recorded a live My Planet Rocks episode with Paul Anthony in front of an audience of Planet Rockstockers. This video shows some of the highlights of the hour-long recording, with Blaze discussing everything from joining the choir at school, his love of Sabaton, drinking with Iron Maiden's manager Rod Smallwood, Wolfsbane and his solo career.

His latest album is absolutely killer stuff. Dude’s solo career has been outstanding.

Always great to listen to Blaze speaking, he's a top singer and bloke, he always has time for his fans, to have a chat, a picture taken with him, sign an album, etc. Looking forward to seeing him a few times on his tour in March with Absolva.

It seems like in the last few years, Blaze has finally been getting the respect he deserves - including from some publications that did nothing but throw rocks at him in the 90s and early 2000s - and that's great to see. He's never had a bad word to say about Maiden even after everything he's been through (unlike some) and the fact that he's always kept his dignity and positivity is something to truly be admired.

I always enjoy hearing Blaze talk, be it YouTube or podcasts, the guy is so passionate about his music, he has a great personality and makes some brilliant music too, I have a few of his albums on vinyl including War Within Me which is brilliant, I love how Blaze never has a bad word to say about Maiden and always talks about his time with them very honestly, all hail The Blaze 🤟

Seen Blaze a few times now Great bloke and GREAT voice

[iTubeYourDadsMinge]

Blaze is a legend and seems like such a great bloke. For me, he was just not right for Maiden but I’ve lays understood why he was given the job the time and respect the albums that he made with them, and like Wolfsbane and his other bands. Good health to you, Blaze 🤟

[CWX]

Why do you never play his music on your radio station?

[PeaveyPV]

Blaze seems a really canny bloke with a great sense of humour and would love to see him live solo (seen him with wolfsbane once). Is the dj wearing a rug ha ha looks like jeff lynn

[Faithnomore]

Not a fan of his music or his voice but he's such a great bloke. He's been there n done it all and at both ends of the fame spectrum..I love his interviews. Such a humble loveable dude 😊
