    Nicko McBrain

    Black Abyss Babe, I talked to Gordon Giltrap about this and he said Nicko never recorded "Heartsong". I also asked if Nicko played with him around this time as he once mentioned Nicko almost joined GGB in the late 70's. He refused to comment that. I wonder why...

    Albums by current Iron Maiden members - an overview

    Bruce recorded the whole Survivors album (with the exception of "Koz" obviously). I have it. I also suspect the band overdubbed a few parts... Indeed, this Streetwalkers record is BBC In Concert. But many others are made in the BBC studios. In that case, and I forgot to mention, there's also...

    Albums by current Iron Maiden members - an overview

    Yes there are a few things... 1) Downtown Flyers not "Flying" 2) What about Survivors album with Bruce? He recorded all the vocals in 1980 although the full version was only released in 2001. 3) I don't know if you're also considering BBC albums, but Streetwalkers released one in 1994 where...

    Nicko McBrain

    About Cockerel Chorus, I suspect Nicko only played on the songs from the Nice One Cyril single, as he worked for Youngblood, the company who released it. According to Discogs, the LP was released by Hallmark Records and that includes the "Nice One Cyril" song. So on the LP they probably used...

    Nicko McBrain

    Indeed. If he worked on a few songs only they would credit him as an additional musician or colaborator...

    Nicko McBrain

    He is credited along with drummer Ian Hoyle, but it does not say whether they worked separated or together. If together, one probably did drums and the other percussion. What I know is Ian Hoyle was the touring drummer. Nicko only played on the album. There's a version of the LP which comes...

    Iron Maiden songs – a rough overview of their “live history”

    I think you messed up "Women in Uniform" from Live!!+One. The track is the "+One" part of the EP, the studio track. And "Remember Tomorrow" from The Number of the Beast single is not even remotely "live from Italy" as stated by Rod. Its instrumental part was taken from Maiden Japan and Bruce's...

    'women In Uniform'

    My guess is that the 2nd version of this song was produced by Martin Birch.

    Purgatory

    How dare you like it more than me? No... NOOOOO! :p

    Twilight Zone

    I always thought that TZ was a good song but it could never grow on me. About the time I heard it live through the Maiden Japan vol. 2 bootleg, boy i was wrong... 8/10

    Losfer Words (Big 'Orra)

    I'll just say it should be played on Somewhere Back In Time Tour, instead of whatever song they chose to replace. Great instrumental track.

    Purgatory

    This song shows who Dave Murray is. Period.

    'Nodding Donkey Blues'

    There is an explanation for this. As it was originally done by Samson in 1981, Bruce is refering to Paul Samson's guitar solo.

    Tailgunner

    Tailgunner cannot be a hit opener because, inside some fan heads, it lives under NPFTD shadow. For me this song is a winner. A more elaborated intro than Aces High.

    Steve Harris

    Some time in 1987. Steve Harris rehearsing with Waysted.

    That Girl

    I agree with you, but it is different in style. Andy probably brought to the 'Hackney' the 1st version of the song.

    That Girl

    "Still credited"? No, it was ALWAYS credited to them.

    That Girl

    Production-wise the song works around the keyboards, being Didge Digital the last member to join them. That ended up so AOR that hurts.

    That Girl

    Quoting from Siasl Wiki: ""That Girl" was originally written for The Entire Population of Hackney by the guitarist Andy Barnett, and was recorded by both Iron Maiden and FM around the same time. It was prominently featured on FM's 1986 debut album Indiscreet, which was released just three weeks...
