A stunning story from Blaze Bayley, lead singer of the British heavy metallic band Wolfsbane (and Iron Maiden for several years within the 90s), by way of Metallic Hammer (January 2008):
Blaze recollects one amusing second during recording. “There was this shitty little indie band in there doing demos, or the B-sides for his or her single or something,” he says. “I feel they have been about to launch their first album. We thought nothing of them on the time, but a number of years later, I was at an Iron Maiden convention in Brighton, and this drunk bloke came crashing by way of the gang, singing the lyrics for [mini-album track] Paint The Town Pink in a really slurred manner. He was the fella who sung for that indie lot, and it was truly fairly candy that he remembered Wolfsbane… and that track. Particularly when you think about how huge they turned.”
And who was this drunken singer from “that indie lot”? Damon Albarn from Blur.
