	BNR Metal Pages -- Wolfsbane (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Wolfsbane was one of those bands that seemed destined for greatness, with superstardom predicted by all who heard them, but it was not meant to be.
		Formed in 1987, the band quickly gained a reputation for outstanding energetic live shows with their infectious brand of NWOBHM-flavored rock/metal, eventually securing a recording contract from Def American Records, by which time the band was already hyped beyond belief.
		The band soldiered on, releasing a couple more albums (by several accounts, better than that debut), but the failure of Live Fast was never really overcome.

	Wolfsbane - Biography - AOL Music
		Among the most promising of these was Tamworth's Wolfsbane, who, with their explosive mix of Iron Maiden's heaviness and Van Halen's party attitude, became the first English band to sign with Rick Rubin's highly respected Def American label.
		Wolfsbane were formed in Tamworth, England, by singer Blaze Bailey, guitarist Jase Edwards, bassist Jeff Hateley and drummer Steve 'Danger' Ellet around 1986.
		After a few years of cutting their teeth as a glammed-up hard rock band, they had developed into a fierce live unit, toughened up their sound, and replaced the hairspray and makeup for a rougher denim and leather image.

	ROMaiden - <IRON MAIDEN Band History>
		In August, the band were invited by U.S mega-stars Kiss to support them on their European Tour and to play at Reading on the Saturday night as special guests to UFO, giving Steve the opportunity to play on the same bill as UFO's Pete Way, one of his all-time heroes.
		The band were also filmed and interviewed for a video documentary released in 1987 entitled "Twelve Wasted Years" - a video chronicle of their rise to the top featuring previously unseen archive footage and interviews with key people involved in the Iron Maiden success.
		Wolfsbane had supported Iron Maiden on their 1990 UK Tour and so the band had the opportunity to see Blaze in action and knew what he was capable of.

	Primal Agony Webzine
		Although Blaze (The band) has only released two studio albums to date, Bayley claims there are some good reasons as to why the band has released their new album.
		With the advent of technology available to bands out there, the humble live album is a dying art form.
		It would seem that every band with a digital movie camera and a room full of people have shot some footage with plans to release it on D.V.D. Bayley is less than enthused by the idea so early in their career.

		The gigs will help introduce their new studio album, The X Factor, the 10th album released by the band in its 15 year career, and the band's newest vocalist, Blaze Bayley.
		Part of the reason was the amount of material the band had to choose from.
		Even with CD length, the band had to struggle and cut some songs they liked to end up with the 11 tunes on the disc.The X Factor also reflects a few changes from the band's normal production style.

		A raw and crude metal band that never really seemed able to capture their awesome live sound on album, Wolfsbane would become primarily known as a metal footnote when lead singer Blaze Bayley replaced Bruce Dickinson in Iron Maiden.
		Wolfsbane was formed in Tamworth, England by Bayley, Jase Edwards (guitar), Jeff Hateley (bass) and Steve Ellett (drums).
		But it was becoming apparent that the band would never hit it big, and during recording for the more punk sounding final album, Bayley changed his mind.

	CANOE -- JAM! - Iron Maiden's guide to surviving the 90s
		Apart from personnel, the band has had to endure lagging sales in the nineties, a downscale in venues (from arenas and stadiums to clubs) and apathy from the casual fan who just couldnt keep up with the changing face of music.
		The band has already canceled their current North American tour because of severe allergies hindering Bailey's performance, but insiders are saying the real reason is lack of ticket sales.
		Many critics have praised the band staying true to its roots while others say it's a dinosaur that should have been extinct, still others pine for the return to the bands halcyon days with Dickinson, not giving Bailey and the band a chance to win them over.

	Blaze Bayley Interview
		I was in local bands before that, but the first serious band was Wolfsbane.
		Wolfsbane built up our own following and we were quite big around the UK, but we never really had the opportunity to tour as much as we wanted around Europe.
		Because we were successful in the UK Iron Maiden wanted a good support band and they asked us if we wanted to support them on their UK tour, which was great for us.

	Get Ready to ROCK! Interview with Blaze Bayley, vocalist with Blaze formerly with Iron Maiden and Wolfsbane
		Well many people know Blaze Bayley the singer, but they may not be familiar with Blaze the band and I thought a live album was the best way to show people what its all about.
		I was offered the job in Iron Maiden and the Wolfsbane manager at the time said if you’ve got the chance go for it, as it won’t come along again.
		We are probably one of the most unfashionable bands in the UK and we don’t give a f***.

		The history of this great, thoroughly British Heavy Metal band goes back to when bassist and founder (and semi-pro soccer player) Steve Harris decided he wanted to play in a band after completing his course as a professional architectural draftsman.
		Wolfsbane did a tour with them way back, really and I'd seen Maiden a few times, heard just about every thing they'd recorded album-wise.

	The Past (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		A band called Wolfsbane was looking for a singer and, as we know, they were about to find the right one, too.
		It was rather the band taking their time to recover from an almost-break-up and adjust themselves not only to a new singer but a whole new situation, which condensed down to a fairly unusual and very controversial Maiden album.
		On March 28th, Blaze posted a letter on the official Maiden homepage (god bless those few bands who handle line-up changes like grown-up human beings!) saying he was starting a band project and that the first album should be out in October.

		Tonight, as the band ran out onto the stage to meet 3,000 boys and maybe 50 girls, however, they were more than freaked out by the risk.
		But as the band steamed into the first song on the running order, their latest single, Man on the Edge, he breathed hard and settled his stomach for the hour-40-minute set.
		Four years ago, however, while Blaze was away on a tour with Wolfsbane, she had been rushed to hospital with an asthma attack and they couldn't save her life.

		Wolfsbane should have been big, but they were not, as the band failed to live up to the hype despite some early successes.
		Bayley's subsequent move to Iron Maiden should have been a great career move, but it was not, as Maiden was somewhat in decline at the time and much of the blame was quite unfairly placed on the vocalist.
		A quite enjoyable no-nonsense metal band, Blaze appears to be the vehicle that Bayley has needed for a successful career.

		When Wolfsbane surprisingly folded and Blaze's career with Iron Maiden ground to a halt because the band could not write good songs at that time, Bayley signed with the Maiden management and released a traditional metal album under his own banner.
		Blaze was scheduled to hit North America with a spotlight performance at the March Metal Meltdown festival in Irvington, NJ in 2003.
		The band's live album entitled As Live As It Gets was a two-CD set which was released by SPV on April first.

	No Life 'til Metal - CD Gallery - Wolfsbane (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		From personal experience I know it is hard to actually capture a band's sound in the studio unless you have the right producer who not only knows and understands your sound, but also knows how to record that sound.
		Well, I think Wolfsbane suffered from this same problem, at least that is my opinion upon listening to this vicious recording.
		This live recording not only captures the band, but also manages to capture that live feel; the shouts and screams, the excitement, the sweat, the interaction between the band and the fans, etc. Blaze Bailey sounds as good as he ever has here and the band is just on.

		Wolfsbane would release a further two records, this time under the "Bronze" label; Massive Voice Injection (live) (1993) and Wolfsbane (1994), the latter being released after Blaze had joined Iron Maiden.
		Wolfsbane, which didn't have another record deal at this time, didn't have a real future anymore, and the other members started to take another musical direction.

		The decision process may have seemed 'desperate' at the time, but we are all grateful that it helped sustain our favorite band to their legendary status.
		It is an expensive business running a label and the band's obvious bread and butter was the constant touring and promotional appearances, during which time saw them on American Bandstand, their memorable spots on the Michael Douglas Show and so forth.
		The band did all they could to heighten this song for a live feel but maybe they should have chosen something from Dressed to Kill like Love Her All I Can instead.
