I used to know Clive. His first wife Kathy was a hairdresser and used to cut my hair (when I had hair!). He was a nice guy and told me lots of unrepeatable stories about life in Maiden. Miss him loads.
Musicality, creativity, incredible technique, precision of a Swiss clock, abrupt and amazing breaks, impressive speed and ease of hands and feet...... has only one name: Clive Burr.
I played drums in a heavy Metal band from 1981 til 1985 and when I heard the first Iron Maiden album, Clive Burr completely blew my mind! Then Killers came out and it remains my favorite Metal album album to this day. Clive Burr's performance on the debut album and Killers is unbelievable. We played 6 Maiden tunes, and learning those songs was the biggest challenge, but I couldn't believe how much better I got after learning how to play a song like Killers or Innocent Exile. I was so bummed when they replaced him with Niko. There best record to me is Killers, and Clive Burr had a lot to do with that. The drumming on that album is soooooooo good! RIP Clive Burr.
Exactly my thoughts... Clive inspired me to play at a different level. He made MAIDEN powerful. I was destroyed when I didn't see him on POM. KIllers is also my favorite old school metal album. And still to this day not many drummer can play Wrathchild with that single powerful right hand. Nico always ruined that song IMHO
Back in the early 90s while on a bus, I bumped into a neighbour of Clive's who had seen my Iron Maiden tshirt. He offered to get us a signed photo. Sure enough it came through the post a few weeks later. I still have it, framed in full view. RIP Clive
I had the privilege if seeing Clive live in the Number of the Beast Tour! It was in the Hec Ed Pavilion in Seattle in the early 80s. Girl School, Iron Maiden and Scorpions.
While not wishing to denigrate Nicko McBrain's work, I always preferred Clive. He was more solid, less peppery. Just listen to his performance on "Genghis Khan", unreal!
Agree to that. Nicko is a funny clown/joker in the band. Thats his main role. His playing is good ofcourse but the bit of “extra” he is supplying to the band is the clowny funny bit instead of “extra” technical brilliance
@@southie3177 his drumming on the NOTB is unbelievable, The prisoner Run to the hill Gangland NOTB. And his drumming on killer's is just the tightest. Burr the Beast
Rest in peace Clive . I remember seeing clive on the beast on the road tour in Sheffield back in 1982 . The rods were support and Bruce had just joined . Clive was amazing on drums and i love maidens early albums ❤
Saw Maiden in the Cart and Horses pub in Stratford East London in 1976. My old school mate Paul Mario Day made his singing debut that night. Great day's 😊
Doug Sampson wasn't let go. He had to quit due to health problems caused by a lifestyle of constant touring. He was also a very good drummer, and the version of Sanctuary for the BBC with him on drums is the best for me.
from what i've seen in Iron Maiden documentaries Steve Harris seems like he is a fair guy but he is driven and wasn't afraid to take difficult decisions in the early days of IM, many band members came and went, the tour schedule they had back in the 80s was intense, even Bruce said he thought of quitting due to exhaustion.
I haven’t really listened to much of Iron Maiden’s work but I honestly think they’re a force of nature. And drummers astonish me. Run To The Hills I do know well. As an aside have you heard the Abba/Iron Maiden mash up? It’s actually amazing. It uses ABBA’s song Eagle. I’m a massive Abba fan and seeing this mash up was so much fun. And believable! I think it’s called Hallowed Be The Eagle but not sure. He had such a full life! MS is so cruel. He was still so young. A wonderful tribute, thank you my friend:)🥰
Thank you my friend, I look forward to your lovely comments 🥰 Will have to have a listen to that mashup! There's an amazing Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath mashup I listen to often which is awesome! Thanks again for you comment and for watching Deidre 💓
Clive is the primary thing about Iron Maiden from the beginning for me. I heard Maiden Japan and Clive won me over instantly. Power, and precise, good grooves that made maiden rock hard!!! Mis you Clive!!
I was 14 when #OTB came out in '82, when I was just beginning to form my own taste in music besides that which I heard on the radio (other than KISS, and my buddies older sister had Black Sabbath Master Of Reality on 8 track and we played the hell out of that at 10 years old in '77 though!) . A classmate loaned me the #OTB and it blew me away! That album, and Priest's Screaming For Vengeance kickstarted my lifelong journey into the world of heavy metal. I loved Clive's drumming. My first concert was the Powerslave tour at 16, and it was a shame that I didn't get to see Clive play live! May he RIP!
Saw maiden on there first world tour with priest you can't deny Clive greatness on tracks like running love nicko but Clive is one of the top greats you will greatly missed along with lemmey Rip
Maiden lost their venom once Clive was gone. I would've loved at least another 2 albums with him. Just a question.........Does anyone else think Gangland is an underrated song?.....
Nothing against Nicko at all. But my top 3 drummers of all time from going to concerts and hearing them live are 3 The guy from April Wine. Saw them with Nazareth in 82. 2 Tim Biery An amazing drummer who joined Frank Marino and I saw twice on 3 of Frank's trips thru Chicago on that album and # 1 Clive Burr. Who I saw twice in 82 on their 1st trip to America opening for the Scorpions on their Blackout tour.
u can have mr mcbrain, is that a real surname. Clive Burr is a rock n roll drummer. It’s the spirit, u can see it in his face. Teens in junior high looked like Maiden in early 80s.
I always thought he was a more creative and original drummer than Nicko. I was astonished when he was given the boot. I always thought is was because he had MS, now I hear it was druggy behavior. They must have warned him, I can't believe they would just fire him like that.
@@SHENDOH Punk rock wasn't just about sh*t music, it was all about fashion and selling crap clothes to teenagers. Iron Maiden and all the other heavy rock bands of that era were born from the spawn of the masters Black Sabbath, Deep Purple Hawkwind, all bands funnily enough still going whilst all the flash in the pan supposed punks died out after their five month incubation period was over. The true masters of reality who are the Floyd continued and the only thing to stop them was old age and death....
Funny you mentioned that. Being inspired by Ian Paice, he most likely followed his style, as Paice once commented that He didn't need a second bass drum, which he didn't.
Multi millionaire business owner and world renowned and lauded rock drummer Nicko McBrain who has played with Iron Maiden for 30 odd years will be devastated with your assessment.....
Clive was a better drummer than Nico, but Nico is a better character and suits better. So Clive was kicked out of Maiden because of drinking to much???
Rest in peace Clive, your contribution to Maidens early years and your contribution to the drumming world will never be forgotten.
Clive burr is one of my 10 best drummer of all time 😮
I used to know Clive. His first wife Kathy was a hairdresser and used to cut my hair (when I had hair!). He was a nice guy and told me lots of unrepeatable stories about life in Maiden. Miss him loads.
Wow that's awesome! 🤩 Thank you so much for sharing and watching 🥰
@calvertphoto , You've just sent shockwaves through the Rock and Metal community Mentioning things like Hair Cut , How dare you sir 😂😂🎸
One of the great drummers. His drumming on Maiden's early albums made them so memorable. R.I.P Clive.
The Iron Maiden albums that Clive Burr played on are some of the best albums in the history of Heavy Metal and Rock N Roll.
About time somebody made a documentarty of this monster drummer and icon of the 80's and my youth! R.I.P. HERO!!!
Thank you! He is so very deserving ❤I appreciate you 🥰
RIP Clive,your drumming still exists 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Clive and Bill ward are my favorite drummers.Clive is so underrated Number of the beast might be the greatest drumming record of all time.
Musicality, creativity, incredible technique, precision of a Swiss clock, abrupt and amazing breaks, impressive speed and ease of hands and feet...... has only one name: Clive Burr.
Maidens finest,gone but not forgotten
The Prisoner is one of my top ten songs (and drum tracks) by any band ever, RIP Clive 😎
Clive is my favorite Iron Maiden drummer. Killers was a magnificent album. I listen to it in 2024.
"Run to the Hills" is one of my favourite Maiden tracks, thanks to Mr Burr's precision and timekeeping.

Right on. Maiden were never as good after Clive left.
Not taking anything away from Nicko but I always thought Clive to be iron maiden best drummer, it was a sad day in the music world when Clive passed.
Clives drumming is like a runaway train..thrusting forward..unstoppable..still on time..!!
Clive Burr hit em hard.
Back in the early 90s while on a bus, I bumped into a neighbour of Clive's who had seen my Iron Maiden tshirt. He offered to get us a signed photo. Sure enough it came through the post a few weeks later. I still have it, framed in full view. RIP Clive
Wow how cool! 🥰👍
I got to see Clive on the dual headline tour with Judas Priest in 1982!! What a show!! Clive played his butt off that night!
I had the privilege if seeing Clive live in the Number of the Beast Tour! It was in the Hec Ed Pavilion in Seattle in the early 80s. Girl School, Iron Maiden and Scorpions.
His drumming on Killers is awesome! He shines on the Killers album. May he slam those drums in peace 🙏
The drums in "Killers" are simply a monument to technique
Clive implemented many pathways for the next drummer generations!👍
What a talent Clive was, a sad loss to the music world.
Favorite drummer all time. Just love the way he hits those toms.
RIP CLIVE my favourite drummer
Funny, I got into Iron Maiden in Middle School. Around Powerslave. Loved it. Went back and listened to the early albums and loved those MUCH more.
The first two are my favorites.
The first three Iron Maiden albums with Clive were their best. The lineup of Harris/Murray/Di'anno/Smith and Burr was the best IMO.
I loved Clive Burr!We miss you and love you Legend
Rest in paradise Clive. Legend.
Yeah…Murder In The Rue Morgues…I just love the drumming…👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
He was certainly a cool looking guy and i bet he was popular with the ladies back in the day. Missed and never forgotten 🥁🤘💛
I lost my twin brother to MS like Clive. So sad. Clive was a phenomenal drummer.

Genghis Khan is what sold me on him being one of the great drummers and metal , effortless when you saw him perform live
I agree. It’s a feel thing. I also feel the same about Paul versus Bruce.
@@southie3177 his drumming on the NOTB is unbelievable,
The prisoner
Run to the hill
Gangland
NOTB.
And his drumming on killer's
is just the tightest.
Burr the Beast
Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful weekend ❤😊
Thank you dear friend have an amazing weekend also 😁🌞🏖❤
Doug Sampson played on all of the Soundhouse Tapes tracks, not just one. He also played on the Metal for Muthas compilation.
I.was fourteen when I heard them and I'm a black guy who still love the drums.
Rest in peace Clive . I remember seeing clive on the beast on the road tour in Sheffield back in 1982 . The rods were support and Bruce had just joined . Clive was amazing on drums and i love maidens early albums ❤

That's an AWESOME story!
@@briansauer6695 I wish I could've remembered more about it. I still keep in touch with Paul. He now lives in Australia 😊
Loved clives work, the intro to run to the hills is unmistakable and iconic...
I still love Killers
Smart drummer idolizing Deep Purple legend Ian Paice. I knew I liked Clive's style for some reason, and now I know 😎
This is getting to be a very nice habit waking up to this interesting site. My son is a drummer in a band so I'm always interested in drummers
That's awesome!! You must be very proud of him Jayne 🥰I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos thank you ❤

I have so many iron maiden songs on the internal hard drive and most of them are clive.
I appreciate Clive and Nicko
Maidens best albums were the ones with Clive Burr
Their best- Number of the Beast.
I'm sorry but Paul sucked.
@@jpoorr9973 in your opinion.

Much better drummer than Nicko! RIP
It's a shame that the albums Clive played on didn't have the sound quality of the later records.
I always thought he was a more creative and original drummer than Nicko. I was astonished when he was given the boot. I always thought is was because he had MS, now I hear it was druggy behavior. They must have warned him, I can't believe they would just fire him like that.
Which one of them would you choose for your band?
a) John Bonham
b) Neil Peart
