Well, this cover kinda calms me a bit. He has a bit of groove and will probably do fine.Playing "In the cage", by Genesis
Hopefully he brings a kit at least this size. Anything less would look strange.

Has no groove, uses too much ride, makes funny faces being in a metal band.Nicko McBrain.
This is impressive and it shows he's not just a basic rock drummer.Playing "In the cage", by Genesis
That is NOT an easy song to cover. Despite what hard rock fans may think of Phil Collins, he was one of the finest drummers in music in his day. If he's on this level of musicianship, I'm confident that Simon will do more than fine unleashed with Maiden.Well, this cover kinda calms me a bit. He has a bit of groove and will probably do fine.

Yup, Phil Collins was a monster drummer. Shame what his solo career did to his reputation as a musician, despite the huge commercial sucess.That is NOT an easy song to cover.

If he's on this level of musicianship, I'm confident that Simon will do more than fine unleashed with Maiden.
Remember, this happened pre-Internet so you have to consider the context. We got all of our news months after events occurred in magazines like Kerrang!, Circus, etc.Based on the feedback (positive and negative) what was the reaction when Clive was replaced by Nicko?
LOL. He was in a groove metal band!Well, this cover kinda calms me a bit. He has a bit of groove and will probably do fine.

Yep, I wasn't quite back then listening to Maiden, although I found them in few years later.Remember, this happened pre-Internet so you have to consider the context. We got all of our news months after events occurred in magazines like Kerrang!, Circus, etc.
Clive was beloved so there were the usual moans and groans but Nicko killed all of that as soon as listeners heard the intro to "Where Eagles Dare." Jaws dropped, especially when musicians learned that Nick wasn't using a double bass pedal. Between his high level of craft and his animated stage presence, he was accepted by audiences relatively quickly although many fans preferred Clive's less busy, more punk-oriented style of drumming.
Are u serious? If his dad got angry it's clear as day that Joe was one of the options. You do not anger at abstract/vague possibility. It was clearly audition of Simon and Joe and Steve choose Simon.The Joe Lazarus stuff will be interesting to look back on because AFAIK, no one inside Maiden ever even hinted that he was on the cards. The whole thing was purely fan speculation that snowballed into everyone being convinced it would be him. And all based off of some YouTube vids.
Looks like hs dad was suckered into believing that as well.
Well people have been shouting JOE LAZARUS not just on this forum but all over the internet for quite some time. It's not hard to pick up and make it reality. That goes for fans (obviously) but could also affect family members. I'm not sure there ever was an audition for this.Are u serious?

This. Anyone who thought that they would go for a younger drummer that would breathe new life into them was deluded. They are all pensioners who are winding down.As I've said in another thread, them picking a new drummer won't take away they are in their mid 60s themselves, and that the likelihood that the next tour would be one of their last was very high even with Nicko in good health.
