50 Years of IRON MAIDEN bonus episode: BLAZE BAYLEY interview
GRAB A STACK OF ROCK #117
We cannot imagine a better way to wrap up the Blaze years on 50 Years of Iron Maiden, than chatting with the man himself. Metal fans worldwide, we present to you Blaze Bayley!
This isn’t just any Blaze interview. With Harrison and Mike involved, you know we’re going to go deep. We’re going to respect the man and his entire career, from Wolsbane to Iron Maiden to solo. A lot of the information we covered won’t be found in mainstream interviews.
In this interview, we cover:
- Punctuality!
- Re-recording Wolfsbane as “Live Faster…” and what that means.
- AI, science fiction, Blade Runner, and technology.
- “Do, or Do!”
- A secret, unwritten conceptual storyline to King of Metal, that Blaze reveals here.
- The Silicon Messiah and the dangers of AI.
- How “Virus” came be
- The waist-high snowbanks of Canada.
- Who the King of Metal really is.
- The stigma of mental health.
- Meeting Absolva, and joining forces with the Appletons.
- And so, so much more.
For us and this series, asking Blaze our favourite questions was the realization of many dreams. Instead of saying “Do or Die”, Blaze likes to say “Do, or Do”. This interview was the culmination of us just doing it, for the love of music and the love of Iron Maiden.
Folks, you are in for a treat. Please welcome Blaze Bayley to Grab A Stack of Rock.
