Blaze Bayley (Episode #55, Recorded: June 15, 2026) ex-Iron Maiden #singer

This week, we welcome Blaze Bayley — the voice who stood at Iron Maiden’s mic in the late ’90s — to Denim and Leather. Blaze walks us through his long and uncompromising career: from fronting Wolfsbane to taking the helm of one of heavy metal’s biggest bands, and then carving out a powerful solo path. We talk about one of his best-known tracks and signature projects, his time with Iron Maiden, and what it really felt like behind the scenes. In this episode: - Blaze on the recent festival run in Spain with Saxon and the energy of live metal today. - Honest memories of his Iron Maiden years — the highs, the pressures, and the songs fans still sing. - Reflections on his solo work and enduring connection with metal audiences worldwide.
