Best Iron Maiden Blaze Bayley Era Songs

The Top Ten
1 Sign of the Cross

Standing alone in the wind and rain
Feeling the fear that is growing
Sensing the change in the tide again
Caught by the storm that is brewing
Feel the anxiety hold off the fear
Some of the doubt in the things you believe
Now that your faith will be put to the test
Nothing to do but await what is coming

Why then is god still protecting me
Even when I don't deserve it
Though I am blessed with an inner strength
Some they would call it a penance
Why am I meant to face this alone
Asking the question time and again
Praying to God won't keep me alive
Inside my head feel the fear start to rise...

Thousand times better than Bruice. Awesome vocal, greatest lyrics. The solos are too good that I hear the song at least 15 times everyday. Best Iron Maiden song. The riffs.. It is just not good, it is the best... It should be number one blaze bayley song as well as number one Iron maiden song.

Iron Maiden at their best, I love that song with Dance Of death and Phantom of the Opera, Iron Maiden fans should considering that song as a maiden masterpiece. That song is so much underrated just because blaze sing it.

A trademark song from The X Factor. It contains every factor (nomen est omen) on what I'm very keen when we talked about the Blaze era. Dark, emotional, epic and not only another storyteller Maiden song, but one of their best ones...

2 The Clansman

How can Sign Of The Cross be first? I'm sorry, but that has too much guitar. 6 minutes. It needs more vocals. But The Clansman has the right amount of everything. It's an awesome epic song. It should still be played today.

The riffs are brilliant, it does'nt actually make a big difference whether it is bruce or blaze because maiden songs are famous for their riffs

This song is a masterpiece! Those who think the Blaze era songs are garbage should give this and Sign of the Cross a listen to prove them wrong.

Well, this is my absolute favorite song from Iron Maiden. I would rate these albums as awesome just like the Dickinson and Di'Anno albums.

3 Futureal

I first listened to this song a few days ago and I instantly fell in love with it... I then listened to the Blaze version and loved it more.

When you first hear this track you get the feel that they are back to their roots, and it's a great song!

Should be top 3! No doubt!

4 The Edge of Darkness

2nd best Blaze Bayley Era Song in my opinion. Also one of my favourite Maiden songs ever. Wosh they would play it live again someday

Hallowed's little brother - awesome song!

The most favorite Maiden song of mine!

"Here I am with he knife in my hand
And now I understand why the genius
MUST DIE! "

5 Man on the Edge

Easily the best song on a pair of grossly underrated albums.

Best blaze song by far yet love his doctor doctor ufo cover

If I had to pick one...

6 Lord of the Flies

Awesome song, one of my all time Maiden songs, let alone one of Blaze's best.

7 Como Estais Amigos

Bayley shines on vocals and the base is unreal yet these are all less important than the fact that maiden has very small amount of ballads. This is the most sentimental song they ever created.

The song is very gripping. Right from the beginning, deep lyrics. It really makes you wonder, and you get lost in thought. And the solos are top class. Excellent song.

Brings tears to the eyes. Though it was Blaze's swan song, it is undeniably one of his shining moments. Now, if only Bruce would honor Blaze and sing this song.

! What a song! Perfect vocal performance and perfect solo

8 Virus

This is my second favorite Blaze Bayley song, and my 9th favorite overall Maiden song. This song is absolutely incredible! I'm just so amazed that they didn't put it into one of the two Blaze albums.

It gets off to a slow start but once it picks up it's masterpiece!

9 The Educated Fool

I just love this song. Blaze is singing great, he really gives you the feelings. The riffs are great, the singing is epic, the solos are awesome - This song is one of Maiden's Best songs ever.

You guys who hate blaze I love his era in my opinion it's better than paul. But I love every maiden album UP THE IRONS!

Some of their best lyrics and Blaze sounds really emotional

10 Fortunes of War

This song is absolutely phenomenal. With spectacular riffs, solos and a really dark theme, this is one song I get pumped up with. Blaze sings his heart out too. Fantastic!

This should be played live again, along with lightning strikes twice.

The Contenders
11 The Unbeliever

This is the 3rd best from The X Factor, in my opinion of course. It sounds pretty cool and such, not quite the best of Maiden, but pretty good.

Blaze sings really good here.

12 When Two Worlds Collide

Its one of the best maidens songs

13 Lightning Strikes Twice

Heck yeah this one is awesome! It's a relatively unknown one, but that just makes it more epic in the sense that you aren't expecting an unknown song to rock this awesomely.

Goes from awesome lyrics to being really heavy

14 Look for the Truth
15 Blood on the World's Hands
16 2 A.M.

This is totally the 2nd best song from The X Factor (behind Sign of the Cross). It sounds so cool, and the solo is incredible!

One of my favorite X Factor songs

17 The Aftermath

In the mud and rain
What are we fighting for?
Is it worth the pain?
Is it worth dying for?
Who will take the blame?
Why did they make a war?
Questions that come again
Should we be fighting at all?

My 2nd favorite blaze bayley era song (next to clansman) why do people think blaze bayley songs suck he is ausome only song I don't like is judgement of heaven

TOP TUNE! Love the time change into double time for the solo! It's very effective!

18 The Angel and the Gambler

A very good song and is so underrated! In my opinion blaze bayley is cool all iron maidens songs with him rock! The chorus might be repeated 22 times but who cares it is catchy! Up the irons!

"This song is progressive and amazing. I love the chorus SUCK IT! " Can't suck what isn't there.

Better than Rime cause less boring, eat my ass this song ain't bad.

This song is progressive and amazing. I love the chorus SUCK IT!

19 Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger

Amazing guitar harmonies, the awesome tone really shines here.

Has one of the best solos ever!

20 Judgement Day

Why wasn't this on The X Factor?

21 I Live My Way

Come on, 'I Live my Way' is awesome! Short and upbeat, it's not only one of the best Blaze Bayley songs, it's also one of the best Iron Maiden songs!

Best of their original B-sides with Blaze. 2nd only to Doctor Doctor!

22 Justice of the Peace

Not released on any of the two albums which is why it is unknown. But listen to it and youll realise its one of his best

Did Iron Maiden really make a wah-wah solo?

23 Judgement of Heaven
