Iron Maiden - No Prayer On The Road '90-'91 Document

[@leonmohan1708]

I worked for Sanctuary Music at this time in the Production Dept. This was the 1st big tour I helped put together. My boss Teresa and I were office based, and liased with Dickie Bell the Production Manager for Maiden and Bill Barclay, I think, was the Tour Manager. They were a great bunch to work for. I worked there for another ten yrs and travelled all over the world on Maiden related work, and stuff for the other bands that were managed there. Good times.

[@moreblack]

You worked through the Blaze Bayley era? was it weird?

[@leonmohan1708]

@@moreblack It was very weird! We knew Bruce had left the band weeks before it was announced. Then someone had the bright idea to run a competition to replace Bruce. Basically people sent in a demo of then singing and the production dept, Teresa, myself, and Dickie Bell had to sit and listen to each and every tape and narrow it down to about 20 of the best. We had to do this whilst still putting tours together for the other bands. So when we had the big meeting to let us know whom Rod and Andy (Maidens Mangers), and Steve Harris had chosen, we were stunned to hear Blaze was the replacement, not one of the entrants, and there was a couple of really good guys that would have been great. I feel that Blaze never really felt comfortable in Maiden. It was a bad choice and he knew it! He couldnt sing many of the regular hit songs live, he was not used to performing in front of that size of crowd, and the list went on. He was a super nice guy though, just was not a natural rock star. I remember he freaked out in Japan (alot of musicians have a real shock in Japan. Nothing is in English, no one talks English, Etiquette and manners are very different) he kept pissing of the Japanese with his behaviour. It would have been fine in the west, and he couldnt understand what he was doing. Then he got lost. There is no frame of reference over there, and it just got to much for him!! Apart from that he was easy to work for, no big demands etc.

was Bob Lefsetz running Sanctuary during that period?

I was an extremely excited 14 year old :-D My older brother escorted me with one of his mates, I even remember leaving school early that day after having permission to go, but I can't remember exactly what I said to get out early now, it probably wasn't that I was going to see the mighty Iron Maiden for the first time :-D I still have my programme from that gig, and a tee somewhere too still I think. Since then, I have collected many more tour programmes and merch, and built up a superb collection of Maiden memorabilia...it's all treasured along with this amazing band. Long may they reign!!!

Also seen them at Whitley Bay for Seventh Son tour... They definitely went back to basics on this tour but it was good, very, very good. Seem to remember Newcastle went nuts for Wolfsbane, Edinburgh didn't. They just didn't seem to get the band at all.

I agree with you. Janick has helped write many great Iron Maiden songs throughout his years in Iron Maiden such as Ghost Of The Navigator, Dance Of Death, The Legacy, and Book Of Souls. He is a big part of the writing process. He was not just given a free ride to the greatest band ever. He has proved himself worthy of being in the band with every album he has played on.

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

Wouldn't most people say that Blaze was the worst thing to happen?... Why is he less bad than Janick all of a sudden?... Not that I hated his presence as much as most, because he was good on the two albums he did (and terrible live). But Janick contributed a LOT more to Maiden's existence. - Sure, he might not be as neat and tasteful as a player, but he kept the energy up while Adrian was gone, and contributed to songs as well. - Had he not been there, what boring sod could we have gotten instead?... Perhaps there were some good suitable players out there, but maybe the energy or personality wouldn't have been right. - You can't in all fairness say "the worst thing that happened" when he helped the band last as long as they did. - If he was actually bad for the band, then it might not have existed anymore.

Vocally Bruce is on 🔥, this is some of the best I've heard from him in Maiden. That said, the body language from all of them is terrible.

Dark days for Maiden. Makes their resurgence today all the more amazing.

I don't want to hurts anybodys feelings but here is my opinion, this is not the best time period for his voice, critics in the 90s complained about his voice changed for this record if you compare it with how he sounded in the 80s. Being that said, 90s Bruce sounds way better than lots of singers nowadays.

@@Javier-qk7ms to be fair Bruce suffered badly on the Somewhere in Time tour 86-87 and his voice was gradually getting better over the next 2 album/tours. Nowadays he is singing his socks off!

You can thank Janick Gers for that :) !

[@chrisryan9042]

People are going to hate on this period, on the album, on Janick, on whatever. That's what freedom of speech is for. I'm sure many people said similar things when Den Stratton was replaced by H and when Bruce took over from Paul... But for my money, 90-98 is still my favourite period of the band - visually and sound-wise. Maybe I just hate all that 80s ****ing Spandex, but whatever. Choose your favourite Maiden era and crank the volume ;-)

[@nowhereelsetoroam3569]

Are you kidding me? Musically this is their worst period

[@TomTom-lj7px]

Thanks very much !! This part of Iron maiden is very rare on vidéo .....................Nicko is absoloutly crazy guy :) ..............And at 9' Bruce seems to trueman show ..................Fucking band foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrr up the Iron

Actually, he's listening to the question in English. Japanese was fixed in the edition.

[@lordharry423]

No prayer wasn't stripped down. they just took the keyboards off. I like how Dave is with the program though.

[@TheLithGH]

Very sad day when Adrian left the band..... :-(

[@MrDraven37]

I love the title track, one of my favourite Maiden songs, but the album was a step backwards. It was the first Maiden album that I had the pleasure and excitement of rushing out on release day and buying (I got into them after 7th Son had been released, but it was actually through a friend at high school giving me a copy of Powerslave) and I was disappointed. The sound they got from Barnyard Studios was lack lustre, particularly the drums, Adrian had left (and Janick is a very messy soloist) and after what they did with 7th Son.. still, for myself, it's better than the X Factor and Virtual XI.

[@bartblackie7125]

I can remember that moment back in time too ...... great expectations and such a big disappointment , especially in the subject of solos .... unfortunately when Martin Birch stopped producing their albums it got even worse . Up to Fear of the Dark fortunately songs were stil good but after it Maiden started to compose in many cases like quite amateur band . Fortunately we can still listen to their golden era masterpieces The Number , Piece , Powerslave , Somewhere and above all Seventh Son .....metal benchmarks .

[@MetalMayhem1978]

MrDraven37 I like X Factor, but virtual X1, yeah Naa

[@melovemusic69]

Never like Janick. He never has fit the band.

[@andresduplex1152]

thanks🤘

[@michaelgarbush2784]

I saw every show from beast with scorpions.. thru fear of the dark with anthrax... And the best show of them was by far somewhere on.tour. my favorite show.. definetly beast.. they played the fuck.out if that show... Bruce was out to prove himself with them and did an excellent job. Throw in scorps blackout and that was one kick ass fuckin show

[@94djanek]

need an recording of tour:)

[@kevindarke7646]

Saw them live in Torquay

[@Albee213]

I seen Maiden on this tour March 11th 1991 and it was awesome. 13:38 I love Maiden, but really, are they known for having really heavy riffs? I never think of Maiden as heavy riffs, sure they have some like 2 Minutes but they are more dependent on song structures rather that relaying on a riff like most metal bands.

[@dereine9310]

My first time seeing Maiden at the age of 15.

[@borizh]

Look at that beautiful red hat Bruce is wearing #MIMGA

[@MishaHendrix]

'Hollowed by thy name' hahahaha

[@drewjohnson4794]

First Maiden tour I got to witness as a kid. Of course I had watched Live after Death a thousand times. Of course the show I finally get to see after years of begging mom Maiden decides to do the most basic stage show in ALL of maiden history period. My whole life has been this way. A day late and a dollar short. I'm destined to miss everything great and only see mediocrity. Don't get me wrong maiden is always great. But if you asked a million maiden fans if they could go back in time and see any maiden show I'm betting not 1 person would say I'd go back to 1990 and watch the No Prayer On the Road tour.

[@IainFrame]

I was very very lucky and the first gig I ever went to was the World Slavery Tour in Sept 1984 at the Glasgow Apollo and it was unbelievable. That was me, a Scottish 14 year old, on a lifelong conversion to heavy metal. 🤘 They pulled the building down 9 months later, obviously knowing that no one could ever top that spectacle! 😎

I was there in Belfast Kings Hall. Up the Irons.

[@drummer7557]

They died a slow death like Metallica, Priest, Dio, Megadeth etc. between 1990 and 1993...I remember it well. :(

[@MrDantres]

It was the advent of Grunge. the 90s was a dark decade for all heavy metal.

[@drummer7557]

@@MrDantres Yeah i remember it well unfortunately. Good bands like Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam (one album), and Stone Temple Pilots. Just hate that it killed Thrash. Hair bands, enh not so much LOL.

[@MrDantres]

Yeah... I like all those too! 😶 Too bad it seemed like there was no room for both genres... There was, but record companies and RADIOS did their thing, I guess. But look where is Grunge today?... I can't find it, but Metal keeps going, stumbling here and there but going.
