This week, I was honoured to be on John Clauser’s My Music Corner one more time, to discuss Temporary Replacement Singers in the 1990s. We tackled four singers and four bands. My choice: “Corabi Crue”, aka “Motley ’94”, perhaps the most underrated of them all. We talked the genesis, highlights, lowlights, and how it all ended. I’ll let John tell the story from here:
Anthrax Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, and Judas Priest all went through a period from the 90s into the 2000s where either the original singer (or more known singer) left the band, and they were temporarily replaced. What became of the music made during the era for each band?
On this, I moderate a discussion between Mike Ladano, Peter Jones, Jake Not From State Farm, and my co-captain John The Music Nut as we look into each band.

Man I have a lot of things I want to say about Pete Jones’ comments :)

Maiden sure drew the short straw on their ’90s replacement singer, didn’t they?

I still don’t really understand their choice. But, Blaze is a great solo artist. He’s doing what he should be doing.

I agree with him on a lot of it. Especially Bruce’s singing from 1990-1992. It wasn’t singing. I don’t know what it was!
I give Maiden credit for going in a COMPLETELY different vocal direction with Blaze, but I think there were singers they could have used that were better suited. But, we will get to this in 2025…

That we will indeed. And I promise I will not be tempering my enthusiasm for No Prayer For The Dying one bit :)

Incidentally I’ve spoken to the two Peters about doing this in 2025. I assume you want to do all the live albums too. I think this could take all year.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. If we do one every two weeks that lets us cover all the studio albums, all the live albums (with the caveat of combining all the 90s lives into one show) and gives us a finale episode at the end for right when the 50th anniversary occurs.

I think the only way to do it is to combine some live albums into single shows. You know the ones I mean. But we’ll worry about it further down the line. Another thing is, we’d need to cover the B-sides. so we’re looking at long episodes.
