Nicko McBrain retires

[TheMercenary]

Simon Dawson, is he no good? I don't know who that is

British Lion drummer...

 

[Yax]

He'll be fine, can we be adults about this and give the guy a chance?

I don't find he has a good groove to be good enough to play Iron Maiden songs. But, I can be wrong. So, I'll give him a chance.

Interesting and I gladly welcome Simon as the new drummer.
Seems like Steve Lazarus is bit angry on the Facebook.

Ok, the price for biggest baby goes to...

*snare roll*

Lazarus.

Oooooh, drama in the family...

I haven't seen British Lion live, but heard the albums and seen some live clips.
Of course the topic is hard, but it seems people are really divided on this matter.
Let's give Simon a chance and I think he sounds fine based on the few British Lion clips.

I just hope that they played together during rehearsals and that this isn't an announcement before the 6 of them played a song together.

Drummer is the most important member of the band, who drives the music.

I'm so glad this childish idiot has not been chosen.

Edit: o wait, this is the father. O well.

I agree with Steve Lazarus. We all know it should be Lara Ulrich up there. That’s who he is talking about, right?

They didn't hire Janick, Bruce or Blaze without rehearsing. I don't remember if H auditioned or not.

Well, it's his dad throwing a fit.

Quite embarrassing behaviour, honestly. If I was Joe I'd be making an urgent call to Dad about it, as it will easily scupper any possible opportunities in future.

Im betting that they have had rehearsals and anyways, Simon might have played at soundcheck etc

With Steve's historic nepotism, one could never know.

 

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

Do I need to remove the Facebook-screen as there are some names visible?
This is anyways visible to anybody loggin into Facebook and no secrets..

Me too. I think the reason why they rehearsed in Perth, far away from everything might have been to properly play with Simon.

If Steve Lazarus is pissed off it may mean that Joe Lazarus was also on the cards!

Maybe or only in Lazarus head. Sure Joe L was name dropped years ago, but it was only on the internet forums(unless further evidence comes forth).
