Nicko McBrain

[lira]

It seems the single was not recorded w/ Nicko, but by the first lineup. Sometimes you have to go to another source to avoid speculations. Not nice to know, but that's it and there's the correct picture in the video. Sorry.

Joe Lazarus takes the high road
(he would be goood great on the drums with Maiden. live drums would sound almost as backing tracks ) And I like drum sound.

Sorry to divulge from Nicko as the main focus for a second, but I only ask because of the Lazarus post two above me - is Joe's dad still complaining that his son wasn't picked for the Maiden touring gig?

 

[TaaviMaiden]

I think someone talked some sense into him.

You can hear 2 different drummers on the new Motorpsycho album. That made me think of Nicko and Simon, although I don't believe it would be a good idea for Maiden.

Gotta say, Nicko looks great. Much better than his last few appearances.

And Rod, you better make him do a podcast.

 

[Brigantium]

Apparently his hand was shaking as he was signing autographs, but otherwise he looks chipper

 

[Melony]

Hopefully not a tremor? Poor Nicko.

Nicko playing Carmine's kit, just a bit. Uploaded now.

Nicko also played....... * drumfill *

INFINITE DREAMS!

GO TO 14:51!

Man I hope Maiden will do this. Someone, send this to 'Arry / the band!

Christ, Nick sounded fantastic there. Night and day from his last tour with maiden shortly after. Fuck that horrible fucking stroke for robbing that man of his legendary talent.

From the LOTB era, Nicko explains and shows the origins of Where Eagles Dare's intro. It's cool to share it.

Happy Birthday, Nicko ! Maiden's page also sends wishes - he is still part of the band.

I truly believe that no one has Nicko's feel! He is a unique drummer and one that cannot be replaced. Signature style.

Yep, that's something truly unique. I always think of each person, each instrument and what they bring in.
Sometimes I really focus on drums or listen to some isolated tracks and it's so evident, the feel he had there.

You wanna talk about feel? Have a listen, in case you haven't; the show starts at about 1:10 in:

It's literally a completely different piece compared to how Clive originally played it by this point, but my God is it ever a perfect encapsulation of Nicko's influences in a singular tune that's at least meant to be heavy metal - not that the drum track particularly sounds like it.

I've always vastly preferred Nicko's playing

A unique drummer and sorely missed.
