Nicko McBrain

He is still in the band, but has no voting power over the band decisions, as he resigned as a director. But his holdings company is still there.

Also, going by the records of the company, Rod has been retired since 2023 and is only the manager for PR matters.

I think that if he asks for playing drums in one or two songs he will play on the record. It wouldnt be fair.

It's so nice to hear Hallowed and NOTB played at the proper tempo, and with all the extra Nicko flourishes we know and love.

Love it, it brings so much joy. Those versions of Hallowed, Number and Trooper (with fills) would have been more than plausible for touring with him in the band. He can definitely record with the band, the pace is there. I think he plays them better than some of the mid-tempo and easier songs like Wild Wind.
 
This is like the third video I've seen of Titanium Tart playing The Trooper and, damn, one of his guitarists has a serious timing problem with that main riff.

It's just that it's so f****g boring channel…it's just always the same…
It's just they always fly around Nicko, Maiden…like bees around honey, Holy Smoke!
 
Capnharris seem to have decided to follow Nicko more than Maiden these days. They fell out with Maiden once he left and they decided screens which might be AI were unacceptable on this tour . I don`t follow the channel much now as the Nicko worship is a bit too much.

In terms of Titanium Tart it`s obviously great to see Nicko back doing his stuff but the rest of band are not even close to Maiden quality so i find it a bit underwhelming , it`s just Nicko with a tribute band .

This thing should be only in his restaurant, but it got demand to play in other near cities somehow. Its clear its an amateur band. But still he seems to be ok with that.

In all seriousness, I can see people who consider Nicko their favorite really digging her channel now, but after a while, I would get tired of doing the same content/interviews.

Well he can play wherever he wants. Its a cover band to have fun and playing the songs of the band he played and give tell his stories. I think is cool.

All the respect to Nick, he's the best drummer on the planet and always part of Maiden, but I'd rather see Simon do the drums in its entirety on the final album. Nicko has done 14 studio albums already (VXI with 99,999% certainty). I'd even see Nicko do all the drums rather than visiting in one or two tracks. That's extremely Un-Maiden and some things must be left untouched.
