Do you think the album Maiden would have been less enjoyable or the they would have had less success? Obviously theres some stuff Clive probably never could have done what Nicko did , like Somewhere in Time and lot of other bass drum stuff that Nicko did. But, something like WED i think he could...
Great performance (although i think Hammersmith on same tour was even better). But man , Clive really whoops Nicko`s ass on first 3 album stuff.Nicko just doesent hit drums hard enough for that era stuff needs and unnecessary fills. Clive plays a better drum solo too than Nicko. Trooper is extra...
Burning Ambition must be high on the list. Another life is a good one too. Live his voice changed up a bit early 1980 he wasnt nearly as good as late 1980 (Reading festival onwards) possibly something was wrong with his throat. Bremen 1981 show was maybe him at his peak and the same continued...
Im interested on Strattons input. Stratton is always talking like he brought guitar harmonies to Maiden but to me its very clear they were already there before he came in. Cant think of a song on the debut album that he could have altered . Maybe theres something on Killers
Lars writes lots of stuff. He cant play guitar, but he replaces it with humming. For example Kirk's early version of the famous Sandman riff is very different than final version which Lars came up with. Lars contributes a lot to Metallica songs. Actually Kirk has came up with a lot of their...
But what does this "sort himself out" mean? His drumming is excellent to the end of the Beast tour. I sometimes wonder if Steve just thought Nicko is a better drummer and think about what the 82 following albums would have sounded like with Clive on the drums and i cant imagine they could not...
Bruce said in the book that Clive slowed down the pace during the Beast on the Road shows and thats one the reasons they fired Clive. I find that unbelievable claim cause even though during to Killers tour was the fastest they ever played, when Nicko joined the live stuff slowed down 5 times...
Go listen to 1980 06 6 Manchester : Clive is starting a drum solo in the middle of Sanctuary. Maybe a technical difficulty and they had to carry on from somewhere? Or something they tried on purpose at one point?. Can anyone make out what Paul says after the song, does he explain the issue...
at 9:30 never heard Maiden do this before. Could someone have an explanation why they decided not to play this part? I would understand If it was something like Top of The pops where they have Time limit , but this is regular concert
