JUSTICE OF THE PEACE
(Harris/Murray) Have you heard on the news Another let off madman Another screw on the loose Is it the judge or the badman What's the matter these days No one has the courage to put them away Nobody has any faith 'Cause there's a breakdown of justice and order CHORUS: Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace Waiting for justice, waiting for justice of the peace When I remember back the memories of yesteryear (they really say 'yesterday') With all the friends and all the times When people were carefree And walking down the street When everyone knew everyone And all the houses doors were open No had to care those days are gone Those days are gone CHORUS I long for the times when you could Wander down the street unharmed When people didn't have much money But didn't seem to care It must be the cynic in me But I don't really like things now The violence, the attitudes Aggression that you see everyday A sick society looks the other way.
I LIVE MY WAY
(Harris/Gers/Bayley) Sometimes when I feel the anger Sometimes when I'm all alone Sometimes when I feel surrounded Like all the doors are closed I feel like I've been a prisoner I feel like I've been a tool Let people try to judge me When they're not in my shoes CHORUS: I've lived on my knees Trying to please It's time to change Some people are only happy When they can watch you fail And to them every day is Another coffin nail I think that I've found the answer I think that at last I know We've only got one lifetime I'll make my life my own CHORUS To live my own way I live my way Living for today Don't care what they say
JUDGEMENT DAY
(Harris/Gers/Murray/Bayley) There are no marks upon a man That can say he's good or bad No label and no tell tale sign That can show he's full of lies CHORUS: By your deeds you will be known Time will tell truth will show As we exhale every breath We all got closer to our death What will you say What will you say On judgement day On judgement day When you look into their eyes You don't know what they hide No label and no tell tale sign That can show he's full of lies CHORUS Ignorance is bliss is that the reason We can not read another's mind If we knew what thoughts were dancing Through each others heads Would we all be driven mad Would we all be dead CHORUS
DOCTOR DOCTOR
(Schenker/Mogg) Doctor doctor, please Oh, the mess I'm in Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in She walked up to me and really stole my heart And then she started to take my body apart Livin' lovin' I'm on the run So far away from you Livin' lovin' I'm on the run So far away from you Doctor doctor, please Oh I'm goin' fast Doctor doctor, please, oh, I'm goin' fast It's only just a moment She's turning paranoid That's not a situation for a nervous boy Doctor doctor, please Oh, the mess I'm in Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor She's got the strength, and I can't take any more Livin' lovin' I'm on the run So far away from you Livin' lovin' I'm on the run So far away from you Doctor doctor, please Oh, the mess I'm in Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor She's got the strength, and I can't take any more

VIRUS (short version)
(Harris/Gers/Murray/Bayley) When every good thing's laid to waste by all the jealousy and hate By all the acid wit and rapier lies And every time you think you're safe, and when you go to turn away You know they're sharpening all their paper knives All in your mind, all in your head, try to relate it All in your mind, all in your head, try to escape it Without a conscience they destroy, and that's a thing that they enjoy They're a sickness that's in all our minds They want to sink the ship and leave, the way they laugh at you and me You know it happens all the time All in your mind, all in your head, try to relate it All in your mind, all in your head, try to escape it The rats in the cellar, you know who you are The rats in the cellar, you know who you are The rats in the cellar, you know who you are The rats in the cellar, you know who you are Or do you? Or do you? Or do you? Or do you? Watching beginnings of social decay...

Keith Wilfort: | How did you feel when you finally learned that you'd got the job in Maiden? |
Blaze: | Relieved... more than anything |
Keith Wilfort: | Cause there was a bit for awhile where it was, you know... |
Blaze: | Well I had to audition just the same as everybody else, so I was probably.... I just thought... I didn't think really... I thought I had a chance as much as anybody else cause I'm quite a determined person, but I thought "well I'll never get it", you know, cause it's such a dream job, you know, it's something that you think... So I was just relieved more than anything, all the anxiety and worrying thinking "Will I get it? Won't I get it? .... " you know, so it was like "Are you sure? Are you sure?" you know, just to make sure... "It's me? Yeah, you've phoned the right person? Are you sure?" And I just spent about three days getting completely drunk... and staying drunk. So, it was good. It was a relief more than anything and then after awhile I felt really good about it. |
Keith Wilfort: | Did you have to sing a lot of songs or was it sort of...? |
Blaze: | Umm... I think we got to... It didn't seem like a lot, I remember the audition, it didn't seem like a lot of songs, but in fact I think it was about nine different numbers. And it was quite a cross section of Maiden material with stuff like Hallowed and Number Of The Beast and Clairvoyant and Fear Of The Dark... So it was all quite different stuff that both Paul and Bruce had done. And, I just remember being at the audition and thinking "well, even if I don't get it, at least I got the chance to sing with Maiden", and sing, you know... and so I thought "I've got this far, I don't really care now, I'll just go for it and enjoy the fact that I'm actually singing with Iron Maiden." So it was good from that point of view... it was really good, and we got to the end of it and we were all looking at each other going "Isn't there any more? Is that it?" Cause it just seemed to go like that, you know, it seemed to be a real vibe in the room... something was certainly clicking. |
Keith Wilfort: | So, when it came to actually settling in with the band, did it take a while to adjust to it or was it a case of sort of like "We're in there, this is it!"... the vibes, you know? |
Blaze: | I think it was... there was a little bit of a limbo period until we actually started working together, because even though I was in the band, we hadn't done anything together, there were no shows planned and the first thing we were gonna do was start writing this record. And I think I was quite nervous at the time. But as soon as I got together with Janick, you know, the ideas... I was thinking, "will this work with Maiden?", you know, and stuff like that... the ideas that I'd got, but it just slotted straight in. And when I started working with Steve it was great as well, cause he started... the way, the style that he writes and the way he constructs his melodies and his songs, he uses a part of my voice that I would never usually use, but it's a part I'm always looking for. So it's quite fulfilling in that respect, because even though I'd spent nine years in Wolfsbane, my previous band, and we'd made five albums, there was certainly something as we'd gone on that I was trying to find more character, and something more individual about my voice that maybe I'd just touched on sometimes. But when we started working together in Maiden, writing the songs and as the arrangements started coming together, it really felt that something was coming out of me, I was pushing myself a lot further, and it was very very satisfying. |
Keith Wilfort: | Did it take a lot of rehearsing before you actually started recording? |
Blaze: | Oh, weirdest thing I've ever done, because we'd got the songs together and it seemed like Steve and Janick... and they would go "Yeah, we'll do this... Ok yeah that's ready." I said, "Well we've only recorded it on the dictaphone, aren't we gonna do any demos? "Oh no no, we're not doing any demos, we'll just go in, you know, we'll get everybody else to learn the arrangements and we'll just record it." And so we were in the studio, we'd rehearsed up the the first song, "ok yeah, a bit of drum in there... whatcha think goes there... la-de-da-de-da..." And I don't think we'd even got through it once without messing it up. And they all just said "Ok, shall we go for a take then?" And I said, "Don't you think we should get through to the end without stopping?" You know, "Oh no! Just get the tape rolling!" So we all went off and got the tape, and so like everybody's on edge.... but I don't know, in a way I think when you do do demos, alot of the time you can lose the excitement of the song. And I think because the first time that we'd get it right and it really worked, that was the take that we were gonna use, there was certainly a little bit of electricity there, certainly, so it worked really well. I mean, sometimes we'd get it right and it just wouldn't feel... you would think, "well what's that all about?" It's all played perfectly but just lacks that little bit of energy or certain something. And then other times, yeah, it really clicked. So it was good from that point of view. |
Keith Wilfort: | The album was co-produced by Steve with Nigel Green, I mean Nigel's record speaks for itself, but what's Steve like to work for as a producer? Is he sort of a whip cracker, or does he sort of just let everyone get on with it then? |
Blaze: | He's good and bad, it's like a tragic comic love affair when Steve is producing and you're doing your part, because he will encourage you and he'll go "oh that sounded good, that sounded good". But he will also, when he feels like it, or if he thinks the performance is there to (unintelligible), he'll make you do the same thing so many times until you've forgot what it's about, you know. But in essence I'd say as a producer he's really good because he never forgets what the song is about. He never looks at things from a purely technical thing and he always makes you feel like the musician is more important than the equipment, which I think when you're in the studio its very easy for the technocrats to take over and say "oh yeah we've got this computer doing that, we can use these effects..." and forget that in essence what music is about, and especially the style of music that Maiden do, what that is about is actually reaching to people, it's speaking to people, you know, and that's why I think the band... it's a live band because that's the ultimate place for that, you know, when you're onstage or in a gig, then I think the vibe with Maiden is not "we are the band, you are the fans." I think it's more like "we're all here together to get the most out of tonight and really enjoy ourselves." So from that point of view I think that Steve doesn't forget that when he's in the studio. I really like working like that because I always imagine when I'm singing I always try to think what's it going to be like live, you know, when we're onstage what's it going to be like? And I'm really looking forward to doing Sign Of The Cross and some of the other ones live. |
Keith Wilfort: | The new artwork is a radical departure from what was done in the past, was that a conscious decision when the artwork was being thought of or did it sort of move that way? |
Blaze: | Well it was I think a conscious decision in one way. Certainly not long after I joined the band and I was talking to Steve about what I thought about the artwork, I think we certainly thought along the same lines there, that there's no way you could really kill Eddie, I mean after all he's the undead, so you're not going to be able to kill him off. And really, I really like Eddie and I like what he stands for and the kind of... you know, the antagonistic dark side, what he represents. So you can't really lose Eddie, but as well, Eddie has to do something, he has to come from somewhere else. This is a new lineup and it's going to be hopefully a new beginning for Maiden. So I think that was in our minds, and then the guy... they'd had a couple of things sent in that Steve had looked at and wasn't particularly impressed with, and then he phoned up the guy who finished (unintelligible) the artwork, and when he said "we want you to come up with some ideas for the next Maiden album" he said "I've been waiting for this phone call for five years." So I thought well it's gonna be good if he's been into the band and waiting to do it so and it's come out really well. I think it's going to be quite controversial but I don't think in all the time I've been following Maiden I don't think they've ever shied away from controversy or confronting people. |
Keith Wilfort: | Finally, touring. After spending months recording you must be looking forward to getting out on the road... like.... stageshow-wise or presentation-wise, how are you going to be different, how's it going to be different from previous shows and.... I know you like to experiment with your monitors and stuff like that, so is there anything that you've sort of like thought about that you're gonna do...? |
Blaze: | Yeah, what we're doing is... we're certainly going to.... we're changing the monitor system onstage is one of the first things we'll do, so when we're playing small... we've got a monitor system that takes up less of the room on the stage and also the P.A., just as powerful I think it's a bit louder, the P.A. that we're gonna use but it's gonna be a bit smaller so in fact more people will be able to see us and we'll have a bit more room onstage. And also I think Maiden, the last couple of tours... like with No Prayer and stuff, they've stripped down the set, stripped it right down to backdrops and things like that, and I think there's certainly a feeling in the band now that we want to come out with a show and really say "Yeah we're here" and give people something to look at and a memorable evening with Iron Maiden, certainly. So I think it's gonna be very enthusiastic performances on the tour, and we can't wait to get out there really because we take so long making the album and doing the promotion and everything that by the time we do get out it's just going to be insane. It's just going to be like one of those fairy story dragons lying asleep in the cave, waking up incredibly hungry and breathing fire. We're about to go and trash the local town and eat all the virgins. So that's what it feels like at the moment... when we get out there I'm sure it's going to be insane. |
...anyways, he did not deserve to get a bollocking... ...at the time, I know why he got a bollocking, because you, you know, you dunno what the fuck he's goin' on about, but he didn't really deserve it. All he's trying to do is relay a message from me to you, right? And he went the wrong way about it, okay. |
Nicko: |
Yeah, he did go the wrong way about it. | |
Steve: |
Well then. | |
Nicko: |
Well I'm, I, I, I, I tell you what, I mean it ain't gonna happen again. | |
Bruce: |
I don't see where you get steamed, I mean, if the truss was gonna... | |
Nicko: |
Why I got steamed up Bruce is because he fucked me right up. And I knew there was a problem, I still didn't know what it was even after he...I, I fucked! I fucking fucked up! | |
Steve: |
I know that. Look, it's like... | |
Nicko: |
...and I stopped, and it was like "oh, for fuck's sake!" Come on kids, and I'm looking around... what is he trying to tell me? What's the problem? | |
Steve: |
Can't you understand? Can't you understand if I'm trying to get a fucking message through to ya, right?...I'd have still...it'd a been a lot worse. If I, if I had to go me gear done...as it happens, (snaps his fingers) just in the nick of the time I got it done. If I... | |
Nicko: |
Yeah, I still didn't get the message. | |
Steve: |
I know you didn't. But what we're saying, it didn't... whatever happens if I got him trying to get a fuckin' message to ya. Y'know what I mean? | |
Nicko: |
Sure Steve, but the fact is that the guy was not handling it the right way. | |
Steve: |
You don't think of things like that Nick. | |
Nicko: |
But that's diff... look... | |
Steve: |
I bollocked...I was shouting at ya, "look, my gear's gone down". | |
Nicko: |
It's me that fucked-up. | |
Steve: |
Listen... | |
Nicko: |
I'm the one out there all on me own... | |
Steve: |
I know. | |
Nicko: |
...I'm doing a drum solo. And I've got fuckin' talkin' to... | |
Steve: |
No I'm the one, I'm only one 'a thinking, I've got fucking like a minute to go before m..., to get this fucking gear right. | |
Bruce: |
Yeah, but if somebody gives a message to me... | |
Steve: |
No? | |
Bruce: |
...I mean, it doesn't matter who it is, I mean, the message gets through. | |
Nicko: |
Bruce, it's different... | |
Steve: |
It's a different situation. | |
Nicko: |
...it's different for you. You're not standing there all on your fucking own having a somebody try to get your attention and talk to you. I'm playin' a drum solo, and the guy's standing a yard, or two yards behind my drum riser goin'... | |
Steve: |
Yeah, all I'm trying a... | |
Nicko: |
..."fucking anga-yangna-baba"..."wha?"..."BABA-BABA-BABA!"..."WHAAAA???..." the fuck! Uhhhhh! By the time I've got that far, I'm fuckin totally fucked. Because I'm p..., I'm not paying attention to my gig... | |
Steve: |
Hey, look... | |
Nicko: |
...I'm paying attention to what he's trying to tell me. | |
Bruce: |
Yeah, but nobody woulda noticed. | |
Steve: |
I complete... | |
Nicko: |
I noticed! | |
Steve: |
I completely understand that. | |
Nicko: |
Fucked me right up. | |
Steve: |
But he, he was only doing what I told him to do, and that was get a message to you. Now that the fucking heat of the moment and just, everything on hand... he don't think to fucking tell Bill, he wants to get the message to you, not to fucking Bill, so he don't think of that, he just tries to get the message to you, right? So, he don't fucking deserve to get a bollocking for that, I mean, alright he got one I know... not sayin that. But I just don't, you know... | |
Bruce: |
Attente! Attente! | |
Steve: |
...Bob was a nice guy. He's not like he's, fuckin', he's an asshole... | |
Nicko: |
No, no... | |
Steve: |
...or an idiot, or anything like that. | |
Nicko: |
Oh no, but he was out of order, because he didn'... | |
Bruce: |
He wasn't out of order. | |
Nicko: |
He was. | |
Steve: |
He wasn't out of order. He was wrong. | |
Nicko: |
He was, 'cause he fucked me up by tryin to tell me... | |
Steve: |
Nicko. | |
Nicko: |
If he'd of come up to the riser... | |
Steve: |
Nicko. | |
Nicko: |
Look... | |
Steve: |
Nicko. | |
Nicko: |
...if he'd of come up to the riser there, I COULDA FUCKIN HEARD HIM!!! | |
Steve: |
But Nick... | |
Nicko: |
Cunt was standin' behind, I was sittin' down. | |
Steve: |
Yeah... | |
Nicko: |
..."bada-bada-ba" | |
Steve: |
He was wrong. He made a mistake, but he wasn't out of order. | |
Bruce: |
It wasn't deliberate. | |
Steve: |
He made a mistake... | |
Nicko: |
Now, I know it ain't deliberate. | |
Steve: |
...for fuck's sake. | |
Nicko: |
I didn't know that at the time, right? I still didn't know that Steve had a problem with his bass... | |
Steve: |
That's what I'm saying. | |
Nicko: |
...luckily enough, by the time I finished the poxy solo, he had his bass working again. | |
Steve: |
It was all that fucking grief... | |
Bruce: |
All it takes is the guy... | |
Nicko: |
The grief was, because I bollocked him up, and I happened to tell ya, and you go "don't bollock him, go out and apologize," right. Fuck him, I'm gonna go and apologize to him. | |
Bruce: |
Well all you gotta do... | |
Nicko: |
It's not for me to apologise. I bollocked him 'cause he fucked me up. Right there, he fucked me up. He was wrong. | |
Bruce: |
All you gotta do...no he wasn't wrong. | |
Nicko: |
He was. | |
Steve: |
He wasn't wrong. | |
Nicko: |
He did not handle it... he's not even fucking communicating, right? | |
Steve: |
Aw! I don' wanna fuckin argue about this, it's fucking stupid... I think you're really out of order, I think...honestly. | |
Nicko: |
No bollocks! Oh I am not out of order. | |
Steve: |
You are. You're attitude is out of order. | |
Nicko: |
He... no it ain't. | |
Steve: |
It is. | |
Nicko: |
No it ain't. The guy fucked me up. | |
Steve: |
I know he did... | |
Nicko: |
Well then that's out of order... | |
Steve: |
...he didn't mean to. | |
Nicko: |
LOOK, I'M NOT SAYIN HE FUCKIN' MEANT TO 'ARRY!!! The fact is that he was a dumbkopf, 'cause he don't know how to fuckin communicate with me onstage... | |
Bruce: |
But he's not a dumbkopf. | |
Nicko: |
Aww! | |
Steve: |
He's not fuckin' stupid. | |
Nicko: |
Well, he fuckin' certainly did a good job out there this afternoon, didn't he? | |
Steve: |
He made a mistake, because I... | |
Nicko: |
What do you mean "He made a mistake"? | |
Steve: |
Because I... | |
Nicko: |
You sent him. How could he make a mistake? | |
Steve: |
That's right. | |
Nicko: |
How did he make a mistake? | |
Steve: |
Well, he made the mistake by not sending Bill first, right? | |
Nicko: |
Well, well he made a mistake, right? | |
Steve: |
Yeah. | |
Nicko: |
Well, why?... | |
Bruce: |
There's a difference between making a mistake... | |
Steve: |
Well that's what I'm saying. | |
Bruce: |
...and a difference between making a human error... | |
Nicko: |
Right, so he made a mistake, right? | |
Steve: |
Yeah! | |
Nicko: |
And I'm griefed up cause he fuckin' made me make a mistake. Now that he... now I can understand what he was talking about after the fact... it remains to be seen, he was on a mission from you. | |
Steve: |
Aw, I'm not gonna argue about it. | |
Nicko: |
Right? Fuck my old boots, it just... I can't hack... I can't handle that situation when people think some can't make me grief, and it's important to me to get a message like that... fucking hell! How can I get some... get, get... when I also fucked as well... I would'na minded if I'd have gotten what it was happening straight. Like, on the end "alright, 'Arris got his bass fucked, right I'll carry on and do something else", then that's fine, if I didn't fuck-up... but he made me fuck. It totally threw me right out, and he wasn't... | |
Steve: |
I know it did. | |
Nicko: |
...He didn't know how to talk to me about it. And, and I've, I've told him "don't do that again." | |
Steve: |
Because, see, it's not, it's not, it's not fair relaying a message to people. He was just... | |
Nicko: |
And he never turned 'round. | |
Steve: |
...look, it coulda been anybody. It was just that he was the first one on hand. | |
Nicko: |
'Arry. | |
Steve: |
He was just standing there. | |
Nicko: |
He never turned around, he never even turned around afterwards and said "Listen, did you?...I'm sorry, but you didn't understand what I was saying right?" | |
Steve: |
Well why should he? | |
Nicko: |
Well then, then, then because... | |
Steve: |
He got a fuckin' bollocking. | |
Nicko: |
...He woulda stood up for himself because he knows he was gotten a bollocking wrong, because he was on a mission from you. | |
Steve: |
He was probably... | |
Bruce: |
No. | |
Steve: |
He was probably fuckin upset... | |
Bruce: |
He's probably a bit upset. | |
Steve: |
...because you gave him a fucking bollocking. | |
Nicko: |
Well, rightly. | |
Steve: |
You gave him up for...as far as he's con... | |
Bruce: |
No, not rightly. | |
Nicko: |
Rightly, yeah. | |
Steve: |
But no, it's not rightly. | |
Bruce: |
No! | |
Nicko: |
I told him "DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" | |
Steve: |
No. | |
Bruce: |
That's crazy. | |
Steve: |
But what?... | |
Bruce: |
What happens if the lighting truss is gonna fall down on your head? Does he go?... | |
Nicko: |
Well then somebody drags me out of the fuckin' way, or else I'm dead, right? | |
Bruce: |
Yeah, but don't... I mean... you know. | |
Steve: |
I think your attitude is totally fucking out of order. | |
Nicko: |
No it ain't. No it ain't. | |
Steve: |
Yes it is. | |
Nicko: |
No it ain't. If I'd have known... now I'm the fuckin' cunt all of a sudden. | |
Steve: |
No, you're not the cunt. | |
Bruce: |
You're not a cunt. | |

He said "I'm fucking going, I'm going! Just lower the fucking forklift quick!" And he grabbed hold of it, so I had to lift it up with him hanging on the end of it.
