Where did he mention that?

So wonderful to see and hear Nicko back behind the kit! :applause: He sounds great, even better than last year- clearly he's continuing to recover well! And what a setlist! If Maiden had been willing to cut back on their touring, I don't see any reason why he couldn't have continued to play...

He has not, but he played it with his first Maiden tribute band, McBrain Damage, back in 2004. There's an audio bootleg floating around out there, I believe I have it but will have to dig through some stuff!

It's perfectly valid to be both - A: Grateful that Iron Maiden is still an active, touring band delivering relatively energetic live shows (especially when compared to some of their peers) and B: Disappointed that some of the decisions made for this recent tour have resulted in some...

Yep, I believe it wasn't until Charlie came aboard in 2005 or so that Nicko stopped tuning the drums himself.

Yes. Because drums are not a "pitched" instrument, it takes a lot more experience and skill to tune them well. It's not like tuning a guitar where you can just use a tuner or a tuning pedal to instantly get bang-on to a specific pitch.

Maiden has never used sample replacement live. In the studio, yes- but never live. As others have said, the triggers are to automatically open and close noise gates. This is true, but another important factor to consider is how the drums are headed and tuned. If you listen to Nicko playing...

I think the next thing for a post-RFYL Maiden will either a new album + tour, or nothing.

Let's pretend COVID didn't happen... LOTB 2020 would likely have been a continuation of LOTB 2018-19- either with no setlist changes, or maybe with WOTW swapped in in place of 2 Minutes or Clansman depending on how far in advance of the album they released the single. They then would have likely...

Even if he is handling the pressure well, it's still perfectly valid for audience members and fans to have criticisms of his playing style and interpretation of the songs - just like how some people prefer Clive over Nicko, Paul over Bruce, Dave/H over Jan, or vice versa - etc.

RFYL 2.0:

I'd like a Future Past live release with recordings from 2024. By the end of the 2023 leg Nicko was already much more back to his old self, but still holding back in places. I imagine next year he'll be even better!

I would pay full price JUST to see this and this alone :lol:

TTAL is new! He's played Infinite Dreams with them a few times in recent years, I think the first instance was at the 2021 Rock n Roll Ribs party.

Fuck me old boots, you 'avin a laugh mate?! *AHEM* I mean... nonsense! Certainly not! :ninja:

How on earth did you arrive at this conclusion? Because they're both about civilizations that built pyramids? They're completely different tempos, meters, and feels- musically speaking, they are almost nothing alike.

I am loving the setlist this tour!

They were planning a 3rd leg of Legacy in 2020, including a return to Europe, before the pandemic necessitated postponing it and ultimately adapting the setlist to accommodate the new album. The original 3 leg plan had nothing to do with Senjutsu.

Those are different kits - the one in the Pat Travers photo is a silver George Hayman 5pc, it was his second kit he ever bought after his Sonor Teardrop 4pc. He bought it from Top Gear in Denmark street in 1966. He would later add a couple of Staccato fiberglass "horn" toms. Later on, Pat would...

Thank you! Saving this for future use :lol:
