Short interview with Blaze Bayley

I recently bumped into Wolfsbane vocalist Blaze Bayley, who updated me on the band’s touring and recording plans.

Wolfsbane was formed in 1984 in Tamworth, England. They signed to Def American records, and Rick Rubin produced their first album, “Live Fast, Die Fast”, released in 1989. When Bruce Dickinson left Iron Maiden, Blaze Bayley got the audition as their new singer and left Wolfsbane later on that year. Wolfsbane disbanded as a result. Jason Edwards, Jeff Hateley, and Steve ‘Danger’ Ellett, the remaining members of Wolfsbane, joined with Jez Spencer to form the band Stretch in 1995.

On September 9, 2007, Wolfsbane reformed for a one off short set at the Rock of Ages Festival in Tamworth. This was followed by their first UK tour in 13 years. Now its 2015 and Wolfsbane are still delivering the goods.

 

Current line-up:

Blaze Bayley – vocals

Jase Edwards – guitars

Jeff Hateley – bass

Steve Danger – drums
