Are you aware of the music known as jazz? Are you aware of jazz music? The movement of jazz?

Nicko playing with Pat Travers Band, link has videos for 2 songs. Looks like it was for a very good charity. Nice job Nicko!

 

[Forostar]

Cheers! I remember an interview in which Travers spoke a bit badly about Nicko. I guess it wasn't that serious, or at least, it went to the background.

That is certainly not the worst Maiden related songs I've heard.

 

[Brigantium]

It's not what I was expecting at all, although I can't work out what I *was* expecting

 

[Forostar]

It is certainly among the worst I have heard. Then again, I am not into Christian rock. Musically, this is also not my cup of tea. Still, an interesting found. Thanks, scorps!

What?!!

 

[Ranko]

This is the best part of the article: "After the humdrum life on the road, the last thing I want to come home to is craziness."

 

[Forostar]

So unnecessary, that arrest picture, that the cops put online. Is this some sort of a game in American communities? "Let's check everyday who breaks the law. Let's go to the website of the county jail and we'll see who gets branded for life". Basically you make a mistake and will never be forgiven for it.

If this is true, we nearly lost our beloved drummer!

edit: It looks like the incident happened more than a month ago:

Let's hope this case will not endanger the upcoming tour.

 

[Yax]

Wow. Why would she do that?

 

[Ariana]

Wait, wasn't she like a totally devoted Christian and the Good Samaritan and all that?

 

[Forostar]

Both.

"It is unclear if the man was Nicko." The hell...?

 

[SixesAlltheway]

"It's very peaceful here. And there are great golf courses," Nicko said about living in Boca Raton.

Yeah crazy story. I also remember the incident they mention in the article about Nicko running someone over with his car some years ago

[Forostar]

Sixes, that quote originally comes from a 1994 article.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

That makes it even better. He was all about the golfing way back in 94 too

 

[Brigantium]

Aw no, that's awful, how sad
