What a lot of people forget is that Nicko was one of the top session drummers in London during the 70s

Absolutely true. That’s how he actually started. When Iron Maiden hired him, he was already well known.

Now that I didn't know. I thought he was Maiden's roadie and took over after they kicked Burr out for getting drunk on stage.

@@TheEternalWayfarer Good lord, totally different to the story I heard! I read that Burr left the tour to see organise his Dads funeral and they used Nicko (who I thought was the roadie) and decided they prefered him. Oh well. both excellent drummers in their own way I always thought.

The trooper with an organ horn section is something that sounds suprisingly natural. I'd love to hear more maiden songs arranged this way.

Bravo to the band playing The Trooper, a really cool version too. Funk meets Metal awesome.

This is why I love Nicko .. can groove that funk and heavy metal at the same time ...!! Amazing clean Chops and Groove .. excellent guy .. one of favorites .. !!

Wow,just one of the best drummer on this planet

stumbled upon this video, wondered why my face was sore at the end. realised i had a rediculous big smile spread across my face for 10m56s. wish i was in the crowd. thats a jam.

Nicko said in an interview that he loves funk music. So if he's not touring with maiden he can play in a funk band.

Love the way he doesn't just do his thing and take over, he does the song great justice and adds to it artistically.

Nicko be like...."soooooo....I'm gonna hammer this kit...hope you're cool widdat"!!!

I could watch Nicko plays drums all fuckin day.....wait a sec,i do.

Now theres a" LEGEND" right there.... Nicko,vote for best human alive

What I like best about Nicko is the fact that he is always smiling when he is playing. It seems like no matter what he is having a great time on stage.

Nicko McBrain is the world best heavy metal Drummer in Europe & the world.

I love that he's never changed. You watch him with Pat Travers around '77 and he was smiling and singing away to his own drums way back then. If/when (I know, sad to think) he has to quit Maiden or they just pack it in, he will be drawn back to funk without a doubt and will be a very sought after musician!

I loved those early PT albums. Hard rock infused with jazzy, funky breaks. Nicko was in his element; that band was tight.

Excellent footage of Nicko McBrain in action outside of Iron Maiden :-) An Extra "BIG" thumbs up :-) ROCK ON!!!!!!!

I like how Nicks throws a bunch of fills in, then quits when the singer should be getting the attention. He’s pure class.

Very nice. I like to see musicians play different styles of music. You get to see mutual respect from Nicko and the group! He's just having fun!

This is basically Nicko's roots. He took up the job in Maiden because it was an easy gig for him. And then proceeded to take heavy metal drumming to a completely new level.

Powerful in all styles!

Amazing guy, amazing drummer !

So freaking cool, they should make an album with funk version of iron maiden songs!

Hearing Nicko funk out, is going back to his grassroots, a underrated player.

a real legend! Someone noticed that he continuously gives advices? Solo, Chorus, Break, etc A real band leader! :)

Amazing performance by Nicko and props to the band for playing The Trooper in a different style.

Nicko is a example of musician and great person! Congrats from Brazil 🇧🇷

There are not a lot of metal/hard rock drummers who have as much ease as Nicko playing all sorts of genres. Before the huge success with Maiden he was a sought-after session drummer. His role with Pat Travers really shaped his musical approach and style. Amazing drummer who probably has the fastest right foot in history! Plus, he always looks maximum happy behind the kit.

This guy is the real deal. Jamming with other guys between tours with Maiden. Still passionnate after all these years. Great inspiration for all drummers.

how cool was this very cool👍

Awesome, how cool is that

Fantastic Nicko !!!

GREAT DRUMMER! He seems feeling better year after year!
