Nicko McBrain

[GhostofCain]

I don't really understand myself right now. I'm not really looking forward to his autobiography.

Same here, but I do understand myself though. I have never found Nicko to be particularly funny, so I do not feel the need to read his autobiography when there are so many interesting books to read instead.

Currently reading: The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell.

Sounds very interestingthe book you are reading
Anyway I’m not really interested in biographies of Rock musicians

Anyone hoping for scandals and dirt will be disappointed. He wanted to write a friendly, positive book.

I used to love his Listen With Nickos back in the day, but they're a little brutal these days. As if the over-the-top John Cleese-in-Monty-Python-mode didn't get overbearing, the jokes and stereotyped accent impressions have certainly not aged well. You can say "eh, it was the '80s," and call it good, but a lot of the jokes weren't terribly funny even then.

After lenghty consideration bought tix to evening with Nicko in November. Probably last time gonna see him so figured out might as well.

Hmm... watching this footage, I wonder why Nicko ever retired from Maiden. Was there some kind of total eclipse at the time?

Will Steve be furious that Nicko played Darkest Hour before Maiden did as well?

Seeing that setlist makes me think that Maiden might have played Darkest Hour on their actual Senjutsu tour. We know Nicko pushed for Tears of the Clown on TBOS tour.

They played Darkest Hour last year too, along with another Nicko favorite from Senjutsu- The Parchment

This is from 2010.

Playing isolated shows is a completely different beast than going on a tour and playing multiple nights per week. Completely different stakes.

This performance is like 15 years old.

Edit: Ah never mind, Onurb beat me to it.
