Whos the next singer and what are the bands immediate plans?
The new singer with IRON MAIDEN is Blaze Bayley (not Bailey!), formerly of WOLFSBANE. Rod Smallwood says about this decision: “It wasn’t a difficult choice to make when it came down to it, but there was a lot of people to look at. The band finally all sat down at the end of August and listened to the hundreds of tapes and from there we got down to 16, who were auditioned at Steve’s. They were given six songs to learn, and then they sang those six songs with the band a couple of times and from those 16 there emerged three possible people. We took those three back up to Steve’s and took the vocals off some live tapes asked them to sing along in the studio to get an idea of how it sounded on tape and from the basis of those tapes we decided Blaze was the best man for the job” According to the Iron Maiden Fan Club, the producer of the album is Nigel Green. In an interview with the Greek edition of Metal Hammer (august 95 issue) Steve Harris said that the title of the new album will be X-FA
