Planning on listening to this later today. I'll add there is an excellent chance there are spoilers in the interview .. pretty sure it was recorded in Vegas a few shows into the tour

There are setlist spoilers in the interview.

Nicko starts at 20:25, recorded after the show in Vegas.

I skimmed the interview, there's a bit in there where Nicko says they considered going straight into another album instead of touring when they weren't sure what Bruce's recovery process was going to be like.

Incredibly good interviews ... many spoilers, really well done

 

[matic22]

If you want to remain spoiler-free and still want to hear some Nicko jibber-jabber skip to 1h 35min for a very interesting never heard before story about a fan's oil painting that now hangs in Nicko's house.

 

[bearfan]

That painting story was great

 

[harrisdevot]

Great interview!

Some of his answers make me hope that he will write more on his own in the future. I understand he likes to have a say on most of the songs, but I'd really love him to write more solo songs.

I'm happy Bruce is doing well, but that would have been awesome. Anyway, I'm certain they won't wait five years before the next one.

 

[Mosh]

Couple this with the blabbermouth interview that got posted earlier from Steve makes me think there's already material ready to go.

 

[Brigantium]

Interesting theory.

 

[harrisdevot]

No more spare time for them. I think the Bruce thing has changed the whole perspective.

 

[Ranko]

Plus, there (probably) won't be a history tour cycle this time around.

It's about damn time.

Fantastic Metal Hammer cover. It looks like it's by the same guy who made those prints. Similar style.

 

[Brigantium]

If they don't have this in town tomorrow, there will be a serious table flip incident.

 

[Deleted member 7164]

Oh they'll have this in my town, but it'll be 15e, minimum.

 

[Brigantium]

They only usually get one copy on the shelf here. It's a small place.

Live In São Paulo (March 26th, 2016)

Spoiler: Tour footage

 

[Brigantium]

Added spoiler tags. This isn't the tour thread.

Team Rock article on Nicko. Nicko says he was inspired by Bruce's fight against cancer to fight his own alcohol problem.

The original interview was in The Drummer's Journal. There are some pics featuring the current stage set in this article. I haven't checked full article for any more spoilers.
