Nicko McBrain

I'm looking forward to the book the most. I actually think it has the potential to be rather interesting. Bruce's book had way too much flying stuff (interesting kind of, but not something I care too much about) and Adrian's had way too much fishing stuff (I care not one iota at all about fishing, I made it maybe 30 pages before I had enough) so I'm hoping Nicko's is more about funny stories and anecdotes!

Always happy to see Nicko. Some bits:

  • he said they have a lot of stuff. They've recorded pretty much everything, the screens. Probably a lot of stuff coming up, you never know what's coming up.
  • he said he was happy to see Blaze again, he's also met Dennis. He loves Blaze and he's a great guy.
  • he thinks TXF and VXI are great records, and Blaze's studio performances stands out (especially ''Sign Of The Cross'', he added). Some phenomenal songs on those albums, which is why they played them.
  • ''Come Estais Amigos'' is one of his favorite songs. Like ''Infinite Dreams''.
  • he would love to play ''Afraid To Shoot Strangers'' again.
  • he said he loves to play with the Titanium Tart guys because they're younger and he can play as fast as he can. He added that Maiden have kind of slowed down a bit over the years, with all due respect. He calls them brothers. ''It's great to have the freedom of choice to play whatever song you want''.
  • he called the intro to ''Infinite Dreams'' his jazz work with the band. It works really well live. He said he can still play it, unlike stuff like Murders or Caught Somewhere In Time.
  • Rime is one of his favorite songs to play live, almost all Maiden songs are great to play live.

Well at least someone said what we were wondering. They have been recording all. Great news,there are many tours that need a live album.
 
Just look at his expression. "There are so many things I'm going to do to those recordings. This... that... oh, the possibilities for pissing off Maiden fans are endless!"
