We are so Blessed to see Nicko playing again after his stroke.
True! The man is still a beast!
I had no idea he had a stroke! for the first 2 minutes I was like: why is he holding back, seems like he's tired or just don't want to play like he usually does. Then I saw your comment.
@@marckferrer I saw a blog on it the other day. You should search it out. He came thru it fine, but it took some hard work !
Blessed? To see this crooked playing?
Seriously! I got to see them last year within the SAME year he had his stroke. Like, beyond grateful him and Bruce are still rocking after what they’ve been through 🙏🏻
71 years old, after a recent stroke recovery, and playing amazingly! The joyfullness he shows while performing is incredible. As a fan and drummer, all admiration and respect.
Ditto in EVERY respect chap!
Nicko is an absolute legend 🥁
PLUS: playing with his back to orchestra and conductor!
Sir Elton, and Sir Paul can be knighted by the Queen. Having HM Marines play your songs is a much greater honor in my opinion!!!!
I agree!
I AGREE 💯 PERCENT!!! WELL SAID dannyruckert9359!!!!!!👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
HM Marines have played music by Sir Elton & Sir Paul
The girl at 1:36 is singing without reading the lyrics and smiling towards Nicko... A true maiden fan!
yes yeah yes yeah!!!
practice make her singing without reading the lyrics.
Saucy!
noticed that
@@danialm8122 So I guess that neither the singers or the orchestra have practiced since they need the lyrics and notes.
That was incredible. Forty years ago Iron Maiden was scaring the pants off parents as they were going to corrupt the youth - and now they're basically a national treasure. Eff that. They're a global treasure. Can't wait to see Maiden live again this November in Fort Worth... where I saw them for the very first time back in 1988.
YES, THIS? CERTAINLY MAKES UP FOR ALL OF THIS SO CALLED DEVILS MUSIC 🤣. PRETTY GoD DAMNED COOL.
Maiden suck. Steve Harris and his music are good
@@1972BoNeZ666 I remember I hid these albums from my parents. lol
@@1972BoNeZ666 Why the ?
Maiden are a National Institution!!! 🤘🏻😎
Nicko smiling is just cure for sadness. He's 72 and having a freaking blast doing what he's doing and he knows it's a freaking blessing which he shares with everyone around him.
Two Royal Marines shredding The Trooper solo has got to be the coolest thing ever.
I totally agree. 2 very good guitarists
They had to nail it. Either that or latrine duty for the whole week.
That sólo was incredible
The most Ironic thing ever, the song is about the white man invading foreign lands and killing the indigenous population, it's a protest song.
As a 50 year old life long Maiden fan, I just want to say that this entire performance was incredible. However, any maiden fan that has listened to their catalog and knows every single note of maidens solos will tell you that the Marine on the left with the dark hair absolutely crushed it! His tone, note placement, bends, etc...was dead on the money! Well done Sir! You don't play that well just from reading sheet music. I promise you he's 100% a Maiden fan.
surely a dream come true for the guitarists
If someone said to me 40 years ago I'd have an electronic phone in my car sat watching the Royal Marines playing Iron Maiden songs I wouldn't have believed them.
I'm 23 and I've been a Maiden fan for about 23 years! 😂 Dad's a Maiden fan and he made sure to raise his daughters right! My first ever rock concert was seeing Iron Maiden with my dad, my uncle, and my two sisters. Up the irons! 🤘
I took my son to his first concert, Iron Maiden, FRONT ROW when he was 7 years old!!!
I feel like crying about how lucky I was to be a teenager in the 80's.
Amen.
Gen X childhood was the greatest ever.
was born in 82 and by 1990 I realized my generations music was sub par at best. . . Found Metallica cause of the stupid black album, my badass drummer uncle turned me onto the good stuff, then Megadeth, then one day I was hangin out and he hooked me up with Piece of Mind, and Seventh Son, and Unleashed in the East. . . at first I didnt get it. Didnt have that crunchy thrashy sound the mid 80s big 4 had. Then!!! as my guitar skills grew I began to realize the magic in Dualing guitars, and it only opened a gateway to a better understanding of how nuanced and skilled Irond Maiden and Priest were. Holy shit and the Vocals. . .and the Bass. . . and the Guitars. . . and the extremely punctuated epic drumming. To this day if Im ever asked who I think the best metal band is its always Maiden>Priest>Sabbath>Dio>Metallica>Megadeth and pretty much in that order
The guitarists are doing so well in resisting of making "The Face" when they hit the solos. 🤣
They were head banging a bit though! Lol😂
I know it's quite impossible to make a good bend without a guitar face.
Check him out at 6:23...LOL. Hard to resist, man!!
I come here just to say one thing. This Gentleman is unique. Long live Master Nicko McBrain.
Hugs from Portugal! Your 2nd home! Up the Irons!🤘
It's great to see Metal music getting the respect the genre deserves.
What I love most watching this is the joy on Nico's face. Knowing what he's been through recently and here he is playing at the top of his game is inspirational.
Dude playing the Strat is on point. 👍
Great to see Niko powering away after his stroke, still awesome.
Can we take a second to appreciate the artwork on the drums?
The guy with the strat did an awesome job ...
Was thinking the same thing
I didnt know Adrian Smith was a corporal in The Royal Marines lmao
I know both leads were on point.
Yeah! Obviously both fans!
he was having the time of his life man
Nice to see Nicko enoying himself so much, what an honour to play HM Royal Marines bands!
0.00 Churchill´s Speech
0.25-0.55 Aces High
0.56-3.50 The Trooper
4.00 Wasted Years
7.27 Nicko drum solo
9.00 Run To The Hills
Dude playing the Dave Murray, Fender looked like he was havin´the time of his life!
Also RIP to Iron Maiden´s first drummer, Clive Burr 1957-2013
After Winston Churchill I expected Aces High ... This set list didn't disappoint ! Love for the troops that keep war away.
Coreect! 30 seconds of the intro of it S Too short to mention it I thought 😀
Dio maledica per sempre uno degli eserciti più sanguinari e oppressori della storia che è quello di sua maestà (l'uso della lettere iniziali minuscole non è erroneo)
Imagine the Royal marines banging out Rime of the ancient mariner
:O METALLICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm American and I grew up with this song. I'm really impressed how well this is performed. The bass guitar...wow..hes's good. You guys are so fortunate to have a military band that can lay down the beats and someone who can orchestrate an old 70s song!
One of the finest bands in the world playing with one of the best drummers to songs from one of the greatest bands ever! What's not to love!
It is awesome to see how much joy Nicko have from that playing.
I’m a lifelong maiden fan and I have to say that was one of the best things I have ever seen. Congrats to all involved.
As a big fan of Iron Maiden , I am amazed by the Orchestra! I have no words ! They are Gorgeous ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Guy with the strat stole the show not only one of our countrys heroes but a legend on the axe too! 🤟
He nailed those solos. Especially the Wasted Years one.
Was looking for a comment like this :)
I have not any words to explain it.....Wasted Years is a very great treasure for me....thanks for all!!!
Moved me to tears. So beautifully arranged.
@@jcbass2u Me too...
I was there, and it was even more epic then the video suggests... A proper treat for the lugs... They all blew the Royal Albert Halls dome roof off with this one! :)
Absolute brilliant... The whole show was, so much so... I'll be back next year, and if you havent seen them... Just go!!! ;)
Вживую концерт всегда будет лучше
Was it chills assns energy field? I could feel it I’m all the way in Australia
There are a few top Metal bands in the world, but the impact of Iron Maiden has no equal. They introduced Metal to the world.
At least we can see Nicko now.
That was Absolutely fantastic. Nicko playing with the Band of His Majesty's Royal Marines. That Royal Marine Lead Guitarist was Brilliant. 💯% Guys well done 🙏👍
I feel so proud, this is my favorite band ever. It was amazing. Good for you Mr. Nikko Mc. Braiiiiiiiiiiin!
Just wow. Nico at the drums is just❤. The Eddie artwork on the drums in different battle field dress is stunning and the band of the RM are the best in the world bar none. Truly exceptional peice of theatre and those who witnessed it at Royal Albert are very lucky people. Well done to everyone involved
I wish my wee friend was alive. The Trooper was what we sent him into the fire with. Now there's soldiers singing his song. He would have got a kick outta that.
Looks like nicko had an amazing time with this
Up the Irons! Per Mare, Per Terram. Amazing performance from all involved
Who ever came up with this is a genius,,, I'm a veteran, and I life long iron Maiden fan, I also play guitar,,, haha perfection for me,,, outstanding
Post-stroke Nicko is still the best! That was soooo crazy!
Nope.
@@Almost027 yup
@@markpitts5194 looks like a bear has stepped on your ear, dude. He is off AF.
Iron Maiden will lives forever
And the biggest Iron Maiden Fan of them all got the best place in the house. Right behind the kit in front of the amazing orchestra.
Good to see Nico back after the stroke!
This may be the closest we ever get to seeing Maiden with a symphony. And honestly... I'm OK if this is as close as we get. These guys went all in on this and did something special
Ho le lacrime agli occhi, di gioia immensa, perché penso che avevo soltanto 11anni quando ascoltai per la prima volta gli Iron Maiden, da allora non ho mai piu smesso. Oggi a 53 ascoltare e vedere questo video mi fa essere ancora più orgoglioso fiero e assolutamente fortunato per essere nato nel 1971 e aver vissuto poi a 11anni quelle canzoni e soprattutto suonato fino allo sfinimento tutta la loro musica.
Niko sei un grande e sono felice che tu abbia superato una cosa così spaventosa di salute.
Vedere questi ragazzi queste generazioni suonare la vostra musica mi riempie il cuore.
E da lustro al mio pensiero che diceva che la vostra musica era sana.
Alla faccia di chi all'epoca asseriva diversamente nei vostri confronti.
Lunga vita a voi grandi Maiden❤
I'm crying 😢
@@luis_marron_99
🙋♂️🙏
Awesome!!! Love it how Nicko has a big smile on his face hammering the drums
The reward of sticking to it for a long time, I guess he would have loved to have his parents there....
Nicko sempre superando! Maiden!
Oh wow, i've been listening to Iron Maiden for almost 40 years and this arrangement just blew my mind - Fantastic, Thank You 😎
I've grown up with this band since I was a child in the 90s and I still listen to great music. Give all these musicians health and good luck, they need rest already, and if they still have gunpowder in their soul, They wet the metal .
Iron maiden play music from the future. They time traveled to bring us some sweet jams.
Up the irons and long live nicko.
I saw this man just weeks after having a stroke playing with his usual fury live.
Love this
One thing. One thing only is more balls-wrecking than the current generation of singers needing to sight-read Iron Maiden instead of knowing it by heart: The fact that a septuagenarian, having gone through such hardships, can still rock like this 👀🤩😎
Oh gods. What's not to love about Nicko? A very kind hearted, polite, always smiling and the best heavy metal drummer in the world. I'm so glad he has recovered from that scary stroke. Anyone else in his place would be complaining about their bad luck.
Absolutely incredible.....great to see the people who protect our liberty enjoy music. Humbled ❤
Go Nicki from the Baptist Health stroke team. So nice to see you thriving👍😍
I'm pretty sure when all those people joined the military they never thought they'd be performing music with a member of Iron Maiden. Talk about twist and turns.
Wow , it's amazing. Maiden forever
The entire show was AWESOME! (Yes, I'm from the U.S.). Nicko was incredible. However, the entire Band of HM Marines is always a sight to see and a treat to hear. Special congratulations to your Marines on the Strat and the Les Paul guitars. They ROCK! I love it when there is a fusion of Rock/Metal and accompanied by so many instruments, with the iconic HM Marine snare drummers marching and playing with their military precision. BRAVO!
🤘🤘🤘❤️❤️❤️ Maiden fan 🤘🤘Clive Burr & Nicko Mcbrain Is the ultimate legend of the metal drummer.
I can't tell how much respect I have for this man. He's been a role model for me as a drummer, and a human being for the majority of my life. Seeing him play in all kind of settings with fans and collegues and of course with Maiden, he's always had a positive attitude and an open mindset towards the public. I absolute honour this. Seeing him with The HM Royal Marines in this video here just makes me bow my head in awe. Nicko, you truly are a master of your trade, and you are not nowhere near being finished with your mission yet! Looking forward to seeing you on the road in the future! And thank you, Nicko!
The guitarist nailed the solos.
Han är ju fantastiskt trummis...har alltid gillat han .snäll och samtidigt mycket genial tacktöversyn.....kör på Nicko......👍❤️❤️
Niko and his huge contribution to Heavy Metal drumming way to play... I'm curious if he's ready to face one more tour.
The guitarists nailed it.
One word for this performance AWESOME 🤘🤘👏👏👏
One of the guitar player (mostly Dave Murray's parts) MUST be a fan of Iron Maiden. He must be. From Canada, Peace Out!!!
Oh for god's sake, what is this? Well, this is a sonic tapestry of epic proportions, woven with the virtuosic threads of musical legends, the Massed Bands of His Majesty's Royal Marines and Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain delivered a performance that transcended the boundaries of mortal comprehension, leaving the audience spellbound in a state of euphoric awe.
"A Metall heart is too hard to be torn apart!" Glad to see that Nicko compensated his stroke so well!👍👍
Did not know what hit me! Wow. One of the coolest things I have seen on youtube. Tears in my eyes so beautiful.
absolutely brilliant . with so many songs from maiden based around war and conflict , this was a treasure to watch
Awesome.......amazing.
I'm beginning to think the Maiden guys are really unstoppable, first Bruce kicks cancer's arse then Nicko "pfft, what stroke?" What a performance guys, those guys on guitar haven't embarrassed themselves at all, Davey, Adrian and Janick would've loved those solos, bravo from an Aussie vet, Maiden nut and bagpiper (what a mix eh) ❤
This was a joy to listen to. Up the Irons, PMPT!
Quite simply one of the best things Iv ever seen. Tears rolling down my cheeks as I watch 1 because of Nicko and his recent health scare 2 because iron maiden are the best band ever!! And 3 because when you see the British armed forces doing what they do my heart nearly burst out my chest I’m so proud to be British ❤️💪👏
You go Nic!!! Beautiful artwork on the kit too!
Much love and blessings Nicko 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
May God always bless you Nicko and take care, get ready for the big event in 2025 50 years of Maiden🤘🤘🎸🥁🎤🔥🔥🔥☮❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
whatever we say, this band is a myth, a legend, the best that the metal scene has produced!!! a fanatical fan for 30 years... I hope to be here one more time, to see them again in Greece!!
Clean my tears, i cannot see! 🥲
I think I have something in my eye as well.
I have a smile on my face watching this. So wonderful.
Wow! Two of my favourite bands playing together. Blown away. 🤘👌
Who can't love Maiden?
What on earth? Amazing, how did this come together. Wow, Nicko, Legend. What a fantastic performance from all.
Talk about irony? HM Royal Marines singing "Run To The Hills" - GENIUS!
That must have been one hell of a gig
To think that RM Corporal can perfectly play an Iron Maiden solo one day and go and build an igloo somewhere in the Artic just goes to prove how well trained these guys are.
30 years maiden fan this put tears to my eyes nicko you are a fighter!!!
Iron maiden is legendary! How awesome we get to still see this band in 2024.
2025. I hope in Sweden
Excellent !!!
Fantastic recognition for Iron Maiden. They well deserve to be ambassadors of the English flag.
The performance of this military guitarist is excellent. Dream night for him...
Hugs from Lisbon. 🇵🇹
Up the Irons !💪🏻
great job, great performance of everyone
but hands down to the strat player for nailing down the solos 1:1
40 years later and no one would fight for this island anymore!
You gave it to the Muslims. England is lost.
Not gonna lie, this is awesome. Those guitar players need to get props.
It's impossible to not smile while watching Nicko play😊
Metal marines wow way to go.fantastic you done maiden proud .Bruce Dickerson proud and all the guys in Iron maiden.
Greatest Heavy metal group in the world.
Mother's and fathers thought their offspring would be corrupted by this sound.Yet here they are applauding it. How times change.
Should have had Bruce there to join in that would have been something.
fantastic !! Maiden and the awesome talents of the HM Royals !! Thank you !
Absolutely fantastic. And nicko always looks like he's having a ball ❤
Whatever your stances are on war as a concept, we all have to agree that this is pretty damn amazing.
What's amazing is that these great musicians also chose to possibly die to save their country. Something that most people would never have the balls to do.
Complimenti. Greetings from italy 🎉
Are you kidding me !!! This is not only a honor but freaking awesome for us , the military and Nicko . Awesome.
The women chorus sounds so glorious
Major Davis, you rock, keep up the great work. Congrats to all RMBS.
Incredible! Greetings from Bavaria!
So glad to see Nicko back (and wearing his normal footwear). What a marvelous tribute to Iron Maiden. Up the Irons.
