    Met Niko McBrain outside his restaurant a few years ago. He stopped and talked to me for a hour. Thanked me for being a fan several times. He was humble and down to earth and a cool guy.

    Met Steve Harris when I was 13, waiting outside the stage door, he endured my stupid questions with a calm and warm smile, asked me what my favourite song was and really gave me his full attention for a couple of minutes out there in the freezing cold snow and wind. Made my life. The memory always gladdens my heart as well as being an excellent lesson in true humility. Up the Irons!

    Interviewed Steve when I worked at a radio station. Everyone had 15 minutes. We ended up talking to him for and hour and a half. He kept thanking us and we were in awe because he's Steve Harris. He said I been doing interviews all day and you guys were the only ones that were real Maiden fans asking questions that no one was asking and that's why I stayed so long, was refreshing instead of talking to people who had the same questions written down. We were blown away how humble he was. Still have that interview and listen to it every few years. Great memory. Up the Irons

      Quote from a guy at the Megadeth forums back in the day: "Iron Maiden fucking sucks".
      He also thought less of people that weren't into extreme metal with illegible logos so basically your average keyboard warrior. Judging from his photos he was around 5 ft tall which was funny compared to his elitist personality.

    Love both bands. Maiden got a bit of a head start and so will always be the band I go to when I need it. I don't see them as a rivalry as they both offer different things and they're both the best in their respective styles. Apples and Oranges. I think if people saw bands this way, we'd have fewer arguments :p Peace in Metal, blood brothers!

    • @Cloxxki
      @Cloxxki 5 місяців тому +1

      There is a story out there, from the band themselves, that Nicko once grabbed Steve's bass to explain something about an idea he had. And he supposedly plays just like Stave and Steve was really taken aback by that. I never found even a clip of Nicko holding a bass. How epic if the band, for giggles, would swap instruments. None playing or singing their own parts. then we can go on being glad they usually do it the other way around :)

    Metallica are massively influenced by Iron Maiden so it is incredible how Metallica have always continued to acknowledge Iron Maiden as not only absolute pillars of the heavy metal realm but also as incredibly wonderful people even after accomplishing mindblowing success and superstardom. Vice versa as well.
    Both Metallica and Iron Maiden are the two biggest heavy metal bands in the world but they both acknowledge each other's accomplishments and have a mutual respect between them.

    I met Metallica in 1989. My friends and I had tickets to see them and we got a room at the Marriot hotel next to the venue. We realized that our room was right next door to one of the guys from the band. One of their security guys was sitting outside the room and we could hear music playing. After the show we went back to our room and about 20 minutes later the elevator door outside the room opened and out came Metallica. We opened our door to say hello. They were all cool except Jason. He was kinda bitchy. Kirk was the coolest, he came into our room and had a beer with us.

But he's just as down-to- Earth, as they are. Adrian Smith started talking to somebody in the audience at the gig with his Richie Kotzen collab, Because both he and the fan liked fisshing 🤣
