BLAZE BAYLEY: Revised Edition Of 'At The End Of The Day' Book Available

September 8, 2010

The book "At The End Of The Day" by Lawrence Paterson follows the career of the band known as BLAZE BAYLEY and was first released in September 2009. All 500 copies sold out and after many requests to reprint the book, an updated edition is now available to pre-order from the author's web site. The revised edition includes an extra chapter continuing the story from where the original book ended in June 2009 and bringing the reader up to date with the band’s adventures over the course of the year up to June 2010.

All pre-orders of "At The End Of The Day" (revised edition) will be signed by the author and the book will be available to pre-order until October 16 only. The book is priced £15 plus postage and handling and will be on general release through Metalbox Recordings from October 25.

"At The End Of The Day" features the story of "Blaze" Bayley Cooke, following his career as a frontman, from WOLFSBANE to IRON MAIDEN to BLAZE and, ultimately, to the current self-titled BLAZE BAYLEY band. However, this book is not solely about Blaze; rather it tells the story of the entire BLAZE BAYLEY band that is about to begin work on the follow up to their debut album, "The Man Who Would Not Die". The book traces the history of all the band members, back to their roots in New Zealand, Colombia and…Bristol.

Written and updated by former drummer Lawrence "Larry" Paterson, who has previously authored ten books on a completely unrelated subject — Second World War U-boats — this book offers a unique insight into the history of Blaze Bayley, the man and the band, as well as the inner workings and adventures of a band on the road and in the studio. The author takes us from the early beginnings of WOLFSBANE in the mid-1980s, through the dizzying heights of touring with IRON MAIDEN to the triumphs and tragedies that lead right up to June 2010.

Alongside the full and frank contributions from the members of the BLAZE BAYLEY band, the book features new interviews with BLAZE and WOLFSBANE members plus exclusive interviews with Janick Gers and Steve Harris of IRON MAIDEN. Blaze himself explains in detail how he first attained the job with IRON MAIDEN, the truth about working inside such a renowned and hard-working band, and the events of the meeting at which his tenure fronting IRON MAIDEN ended. "At The End Of The Day" also contains tour dates, discographies, and extensive black and white and full-color photographs.
