Yup, here's what he says: "I was very, very lucky that they chose me. I don't know why; my voice is so different to Bruce. But I think maybe that's why. I was somebody that was different, but perhaps could bring something to the old songs." My problem with Blaze in Maiden: he struggled a lot with the Bruce-era Maiden material live. I really like the two albums he made with Maiden, especially "The X Factor", and there is some very underrated songs on both albums. Iron Maiden occasionally perform songs from the two Maiden albums featuring Bayley, including "Man on the Edge" and "Futureal", which he co-wrote, though no Bayley-era songs have been on the band's set list since 2004. :)
