REVIEW: Blaze - As Live As It Gets (2CD live) Steamhammer Records, 2003
7.5/10
Blaze - As Live As It Gets (2CD live) - cover art Blaze Bayley continues his metal legacy after leaving Iron Maiden with this live release and third Blaze (the band) album overall. He has assembled more than a solid unit with Steve Wray and John Slater (Guitar), Rob Naylor (Bass) and Jeff Singer (Drums). This 2-CD set is a fairly good representation of his solo material and it even dates back to his pre-Maiden Wolfsbane days (1989 - 1993). Personally I'm unfamiliar with Wolfsbane other than a mention in a heavy metal book that I own which actually raves "Alongside the Cult and Diamond Head, Wolfsbane are among the UK's finest Heavy Metal Bands". The quote comes from The Best of Metal, The Essential CD Guide from 1993 written by Paul Elliott & John Hotten. The song 'Steel', which is included here, originally appeared on the Wolfsbane mini-CD All Hell's Breakin' Loose Down At Little Cathy Wilson's Place, the aforementioned book mentions the song 'Steel' as "full-tilt metal, as heavy as Metallica" and that statement clearly is a great compliment for any metal vocalist/band!
