+kchandaman I read something about it back in early 90s from some Metalhead magazines. You know, in those days there was not much knowledge sharing and by 1992 internet was a few years away from us, so we had to believe in what we read. But give a try searching for it, Clive wanted to be more with his family and Nicko played for a french band called Trust, and was ranked very high (like Top 5) in drummers magazines. Only a few legends like Peart, Paice and Jon Hiseman had more votes. It is clear that Clive's pick was the right one. :)

@jasonlemere1683 Жыл бұрын

Iron Maiden have always been and always will be my favorite band. I come from the analog era. I listened to them since Number of the Beast. They have been a real influence and joy for decades. They are all professional and awesome musicians, every one. Paul, Clive, Blaze, and the present line up. Having 3 guitars is total Maiden. They do what the want. They were an influence on the thrash bands that followed them in the early 80s like Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Overkill, Exodus, Testament, and many more. This band will go on as long as they can. They did it all with little promotion by the media. They did it underground in the states where anyone who played them got shut down. They changed the formula of stacks of Marshals. They covered all that up with excellent theatrics that went along with the theam of each album, and had Eddie who was the first entity in metal and Eddie can go anywhere and do anything. Genius! Bruce learning to fly 4 engine jets gave them the ability to go places the never could before. That’s freedom. Bruce also played locally in his own band while learning to fly these jets. I could go on and on telling everyone about the cutting edge first to do it stuff. It would be a 6 page speech. Love that music forever.

He serves the best ribs I've ever tasted. The fact that this band does so many benefits for Clive and others with MS shows how much they are willing to help those with such a debilitating disease. God bless this band. Up the Irons.
