    This just blows my mind - when you think of the insane level of touring Maiden have done pretty much non-stop over the past 40 years and the size of the venues they play, the biggest in the world, totally at the top of the pantheon of rock stars, and to see Adrian and Nicko enjoy it so much that they have side bands in small venues and cameo in each others songs. Its just beautiful man. I love Maiden and everyone in it, what a great band.

No one is getting butthurt that Adrian is doing his own thing, and instead supporting him. They have the BEST job on the planet, playing music with friends.

Notably, wasted years is officially their most commercially successful song, as its covered more than any other maiden song and by multiple different genres; it's often covered in ballad form.Let's face it, it's the most personally relatable song in the maiden catalogue, because you don't usually listen to maiden to relate, it's to feel epic, go crazy, feel nostalgic, or, just marvel at the simultaneous power and intricacy

      @BartSmith85 2 роки тому +1

      @@stuartsutton9350 It depends on your musical preference actually. I love Clive, he fitted perfectly to the early Iron Maiden sound, but he wouldn't have done what Nicko did in the 1980s. He was awesome when playing fast licks, better than Nicko, but when it comes to slower tempo rhythm sections, I prefer Nicko. The songs like "Where Eagles Dare", "2 Minutes to Midnight", "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", "Flight of Icarus", "The Trooper", "Powerslave", and the whole "Somewhere in Time" album would have sound much different. Nicko is a master of the slow tempo rhythms, I assume because of his jazz/funk background. Sometimes you appreciate a musician when he plays slower, and Nicko is one of those. If you prefer more of a "show-off"/"straight-in-your-face" type of drummer, then you will always choose Clive. Nicko is more laid back, in the background that blends in with the sound, who rarely step out of line; but also with better technical patterns, which in result, gives him more stamina - to play longer & more shows than Clive. It's not a surprise that Clive had problems during The Beast on the Road tour (one of the factors was his drumming style).
