BLAZE BAYLEY Goes Acoustic: Interview, Performance Footage Available

September 17, 2011

British heavy metal vocalist Blaze Bayley (IRON MAIDEN, WOLFSBANE) was joined by Jase Edwards (WOLFSBANE, THE WILDHEARTS) in late August/early September for a series of "unplugged" shows in the U.K., playing acoustic versions of their favorite songs from WOLFSBANE, IRON MAIDEN and BLAZE BAYLEY.

A video interview with Bayley and Edwards conducted by PurpleChicken.TV on September 2 as well as fan-filmed video footage of their September 6 performance in Manchester can be seen below.

When asked about his "unplugged" tour and the possibility of recording an acoustic album, Blaze said in a recent interview, "I did an acoustic show a few years ago and I really enjoyed it. And I wanted to start again. I need to get myself into that vibe. It's an expressive thing. Right now I want to hear how my voice sounds with the guitar and seeing what it feels like. That is the first step before I think about recording [an acoustic CD] and putting it together. I think it is going to be like most of the albums I do. It is going to be an experience from start to finish."

WOLFSBANE recently finished recording its new album for a tentative early November release.

The reunited band which features Bayley, guitarist Jase Edwards, bassist Jeff Hateley and drummer Steve Danger released its first record in 17 years in April. Entitled "Did It For The Money", it contained the brand new title track along with re-recordings of four old WOLFSBANE numbers.
