Found this on YouTube and some interesting little snippets from Nicko about early Maiden and the wonderful Paul Di'Anno, Bruce, and some drum influences on his career, worth a watch…

    I think Ginger Baker told everyone to f@ck off didn't he? dont wanna hijack but the documentary "Beware Mr Baker" is interesting...
    I techd for a drum clinic Nicko did once and afterwards he was backstage having just showered having a chat with everyone and naked while drying his spuds with a towel  :D

    Spotted that myself,  enjoyed it greatly and reminded me of younger days,  still have the occasional day listening to IM,  first track I learnt on bass was Run to the hills,  fingers wouldn't cope these days though.

    Like a throwback to Listen With Nicko from the First Ten Years box set. Fuck me, was that really 36 years ago? Jesus wept!

    Yep. Egging them both on as well, every time it sounded like it was going to peter out he ramped it back up again. Fucker 😂

    Maiden are one of those bands for me who has a complete cutoff point at a certain album. In this case, Seventh Son - literally could not give a shit about anything after that. But that run from Number Of The Beast to Seventh Son is unchallenged in metal for me. Five 10/10 albums in a row will never be bettered. Metallica had three (Lighting to Justice), Slayer had three (RIB to Seasons), and on the heavier side, Death and Carcass had three as well - but that level of consistency is absolutely unparalleled

    Noting your post Leroy regarding the early Maiden albums, I have just found another post on YouTube where Nicko gives his Albums in order of favourite to least, and he has Seventh Son as 10th, and A mater of Life and Death as his favourite, and the debut Iron Maiden least favourite...each to their own I guess.

    Yeah, but Nicko is famously mad as a box of frogs!

    It's a good album to be fair, despite what old fogey Leroy says. ;-)

    I like it, Proggy but melodic, was just curious if it was new album "best album we've done" talk.

    Slightly off topic and not a fan, but I have been the plane they were using in 2011.

    I’d hate to think where they stored the drumsticks.

    The Final Frontier is a decent album mate.
