RUN FOR YOUR LIVES WORLD TOUR (2025/2026)

I quote myself on Nicko:

This. Even borderline funk drumer, as some Pat Travers stuff was quite funky.

This. Even borderline funk drumer, as some Pat Travers stuff was quite funky.

I'll mention only one sog: Where Eagles Dare.
Arguably Nicko's most famous drum part, regarded by many as his best. And it has little if nothing to do with heavy metal drumming.

This is the kind of music Nicko played before Maiden. Groovy rock.

 

[GhostofCain]

I guess that is what makes Nicko so special. He is a non-heavy metal drummer adding his magic to (arguably) the best heavy metal band of all time.

Listened to both Pat Travers albums Nicko is on via Spotify. Well worth it, they are very enjoyable - DO IT

 

[Helmuth Von Moltke]

livenation presale has absolutely no front stage tickets. and i was pretty early in the queue, no way they were sold out

yes I just experienced this, so I bought rear standing. Fuck it, I just need tickets banked.

Probably I'll enjoy it more standing that seated, I figure.

Stavanger is already sold-out. 25k capacity

 

[TheMercenary]

Second date added in Paris. The 1st time since 2018 and The Legacy Of The Beast tour.

If you follow my self-quote at previous page we discussed why and how Nicko's style is different from the standard HM drumming (specifically because of his models and pre-IM career and of his refusal of double bass).

Paris 2018 was Bercy (accor arena) not La Defense arena

Iron Maiden themselves start as a band deeply influenced by the prog / blues rock scene, rather than seminal heavy metal or hard rock.

Dave's idol was Hendrix, not Blackmore or Iommi, to say one.

I know that. When I've written "the 1st time since 2018 and the LOTB tour", I meant that's the second time that Maiden is adding a second date in Paris, I didn't mean that was in the same venue.

From 40 000 to 80 000 this is insane... add Belfort and we get Maiden's most successful tour in France ever.

 

[srfc]

It's on sale already.

tickets got plus 54 quid to change my flight home to the following day

 

[Vaenyr]

TBH, it has to be said after today...

RLonger is in the mud.

I already knew that without having to re-read your quote, but thanks anyway.

And Robin Trower. Has to be said.

And Robin Trower. Has to be said.

Yes, which almost nobody suspected until that video came out.

Yes, which almost nobody suspected until that video came out.

Which video?

I agree with the first sentence, but Hendrix isn't really a good example here, because Blackmore was definitely closer to both prog and whatever it is that Maiden play than Hendrix. Like, he might be Dave's idol, but I wonder if that's a particularly useful example.
