Nicko McBrain

[Flaming Blimp Crash]

May consider the Atlanta show, I've always wanted to do an Atlanta trip (primarily to see the aquarium.)

Interesting Nicko's playing Atlanta the day after Maiden plays Charlotte. Maybe he makes a surprise appearance? Regardless this is going to be a busy weekend for me

Highly doubt it. Yeah, they've got the money to do so, but I don't see them flying him from Jacksonville to Charlotte to Atlanta. I feel if he were to ever make an appearance, he would have already done so in London.

But then, in reality, this “Nicko is still in the band” means almost nothing.

Why people always says that? LOL

This is the least maiden thing. Happenned once iirc in donington 92.

Congrats, thats it. Its not even a judas priest situation. But hes not obligated to make surprise appearances in live shows anyway.

Yah, I've always had the inkling that Nicko would be too much of a 'character' to be tolerable in real life. Delicious drummer, though.

This takes me right back to Bruce's biography, recording of Piece of Mind, its like six or seven in the morning, Nick's drum tech sitting in a fountain holding a brick saying "Kill me now!", and Nicko responding: "P*ss off, w*nker".

More wishful thinking than anything. Charlotte is a rather short trek from Atlanta. It's not out of the realm of possibilty he at least hooks up with the rest of the band there, whether he gets out and plays a song or not. Especially if he hasn't seen some of the guys in awhile (I know he's seen Bruce a good bit at conventions though)

And just because it's only happened once doesn't mean it can never happen again. Personally I'd love to see it.

I'd say that was actually quite funny if you were there ho ho ho
