[@ianoddy]

Did you get your tickets?? :)

[@ianoddy]

Is the " Pocket " kinda like the " Force "? Binding everything together?? :)

[@aboutthemetal8783]

Nicko is the master in how to use a massive drum set the right way , he does exactly enough for the song , a seriously underated drummer by some.

[@RaceDayReplay]

By who? Nicko is one the most regarded drummers in all of metal

[@philhamilton8731]

​@@RaceDayReplayUsually by Maiden fans who like Clive Burr. I like Clive's drumming, but I think Nicko opened things up for the band musically.

[@RaceDayReplay]

@@philhamilton8731 Clive was a great drummer but Nicko is def a step up

[@aboutthemetal8783]

@@RaceDayReplay By some of the people who think heavy metal is just people playing noise , I once had a friend talk to me about why tico Torres was so much better than Nicko , I've been a maiden fan since 88 , I love Doug's drumming ,Clive's drumming and Nicko's , Nicko is my favourite as I love the way him and Steve truly connect musically , the way they refined the gallop style maiden are now known for was awesome to see developing as they put out new albums with Nicko's playing .

[@mariodiaz5872]

Why do the people say randomly that Nicko McBrain is an underrated drummer, come on

[@brianthomas5260]

YES! One of my very favorites. Whenever I suggest an Iron Maiden songs for reactors to react to, I always lead off with Revelations. Piece of Mind every song is solid.

[@keefriff99]

PoM is a classic album but Quest for Fire is pretty bad…I never listen to it.

[@philhamilton8731]

​@@keefriff99I think I read that Steve Harris hates QFF... one of the few cuts I skip over from that era.

[@keefriff99]

@@philhamilton8731 That wouldn't really surprise. I think Sun and Steel is great though...it's not a classic, but it's a short, high-energy number with a catchy singalong chorus.

[@jackalope5589]

I saw the piece of mind tour in Arkansas in a giant stadium with about 300 people. Walked right up to the stage. What a memory 🤘🎸🔥

[@brianthomas5260]

@@jackalope5589 maybe it only looked like a few people. Doubt they would play if they didn’t sell enough tickets. I saw the same tour at Long Beach Arena. Then saw them three of the four nights of the Powerslave tour at the same venue. Had sixth row the night they filmed Live After Death. Got my 2 seconds of fame as Running Free ended.

[@klonk666]

I started playing bass because of Steve Harris and Iron Maiden, and this is probably my favorite song of theirs. The whole album is brilliant.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Great inspiration

[@NZLatic]

Ditto. I learned bass listening to the Piece of Mind album back in the mid-80’s and Revelations was the first song I tackled. Still a favourite after all these years

[@Grendelcynn]

I learnt drum, in part at least, because of their song Where Eagles Dare, not only their finest drum song by a country mile but one of the greatest drum lines in the history of music.

[@carlgibson285]

Your Iron Maiden reactions have quickly become one of my most anticipated things on KZbin. Great job as always, sir!

[@JD.Knight]

Nicko smashes this one out the park here! So much energy, great fills, great groove, plays for the song. 🤟🤟

[@elveskickass]

Love your Maiden reactions. Here's a radical suggestion. Do the entire Live After Death concert from 1985! Up the Irons.

[@TrevRockOne]

My favorite classic era Maiden song actually. This one was wholly written by Bruce.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Oh good info!

[@mattymacmische]

​@@AndrewRooneyDrums​ watch the Live after Death version where Bruce is playing the acoustic guitar part himself 😉

[@SMenkveld]

Based on a hymn by G. K. Chesterton, no less.

[@DominicKirby1967]

I met Nicko and saw him do a drum workshop at an Iron Maiden fan convention in Brighton (U.K.) many years ago. He is just incredible and he signed some sticks for me.

[@aboutthemetal8783]

When he recorded these songs back in the day he was using a 1960s Ludwig speed king pedal , he is the boss.

[@thelastheteroincali]

And don't forget to this day he still records with a Ludwig 1976 supraphonic

[@t3hgir]

Nicko's drum sets always look so comfy, like you could just sit back and be surrounded by drums and cymbals but everything is ergonomically positioned and has purpose.

[@ESUSAMEX]

I have been an Iron Maiden fan since 1981 when I was 11. As a young kid and a teen, I always seemed to miss their shows in New York City. I thought after Bruce's cancer I may never get to see the band live. I finally got to see them on the Book of Souls tour and the last one in 2022. They are a-must see!

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

Up The Irons, Andrew 🤘🤘 Can't wait to see this one!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Me either!!

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

@@AndrewRooneyDrums Elizabeth loves Bruce! She's done several great reactions.

[@elijahharkless6045]

One of my favorite hymns written GK Chesterton

[@farn451]

Nicko is one of the most musical drummers in the game. Players like him and Danny Carey take monster kits and use them wisely; their phrasing and most importantly their choices of what and what not to play, when and when not to chop are what make their lines so solid and so artful.

[@Agg1E91]

I like how the drum riffs and guitar riffs often match (mostly) and complement each other.

[@RobertAlexanderII]

I wore out my Piece of Mind record when it came out. Watching Dave Murray launch into his solo brought me to tears. Iron Fucking Maiden!!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

BEAUTIFUL

[@andrewgarin2486]

My favorite IM song since 83'!

[@aitofij]

I flew over from NZ for both of these Sydney shows. This crowd was excellent. Maiden were brilliant too.

[@christianmuller6960]

I`ve seen them last year in Bremen, first time in my life.. live...... I know of them more than the half of my whole life....... ( 48 years ) And to see them live is a little bit like watching a thunderstorm from a warm save place... There lightning strikes, and they mealt there crowd down to a bar of Maiden Steel, a Liitle bit like sticking in a swamp , u can´t go cause they are so catchie, ...... U can´t resist, but they send u home with a bright smile in u´re face

[@ScottTo1967]

No double kickers here, just pure drumming. Nicko is up there with the best

[@aboutthemetal8783]

Try looking at some of Nicko's live performances when he plaid in the french metal band 'trust'.

[@marcustidholm6775]

LOVE your Iron Maiden reactions!!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Thanks for watching

[@markparkin5372]

Please check out their song the prisoner from the 1982 Hammersmith concert. Clive Burr plays the drums on that one and it's some of the tightest drumming you'll ever hear

[@adam872]

That is one of the greatest live performances I’ve ever watched

[@joebarrera9741]

Killer track and excellent reaction and Drum observations

[@bryanmack5410]

I was 14 when I got this cassette. This is the song that brings me back the most.

[@liammerrick6399]

this band man! i love them with all my heart

[@frankcarusi6357]

I enjoy your commentary. I strongly suggest reacting to The Book of Souls from The Book of Souls Live Chapter… The sound engineer recorded the best live sound they’ve ever performed! As you listen to their live material you’ll hear the three lead, and rhythm guitarists ; Dave Murray: recorded on the left channel, Yanick Gers: recorded on the right channel, and Adrian Smith: recorded on both channels. You will now be able to distinguish their individual tone, as you listen to live Iron Maiden. Enjoy Sir!!

[@paulbyrne7617]

Hope you get to see them next year when they tour next year, have tickets for Brisbane concert, can't wait.. Up the Irons!!

[@jackalope5589]

This is Iron Maiden firing on all cylinders . Nothing like it. 🤘🔥🎸

[@potorrero]

I totally agree with you that every band must have a characteristic sound, that makes you recognize them in any song or any part of a song. I once had a so-called friend, he used to say that Iron Maiden were repetitive and they sounded the same on every song. Needless to say he's no longer with us, he moved to another country, but, I used to say to him, is not that they're repetitive, it's just that they have that signature sound that makes them recognizable and we all the fans love. Please do more Maiden more often.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

More Maiden on the way! Have you checked my Iron Maiden playlist?

[@donnelson6694]

Amazing performance. Nicko is so solid.

[@kristianp.405]

This Sydney version of Revelations are a absolute classic. Pachendale or Sign of the cross Live is "Nicko" songs ii would love to see your reaction on. Thank for your channel and reactions. Regards from a coffee machine tech from Norway

[@DHARMN00]

Just re-watched a video of GFR "Inside Looking Out". Great video from 1969. Might be a dun one for the teacher to cover.

[@justingoulet9714]

One of my favorites from Piece of Mind album Nicko kills it as usual Bruce Dickinson wrote this song. Killer vocalist and talented writer. Check out Powerslave

[@tonymcmillan1941]

Hey Andrew, kiwi living in Oz here. I was at this show, life long dream to see them. Took the wife (not a fan of rock or metal) she was blown away and loved every second. Really enjoy the vids bro.

[@paulallaker8450]

Andrew, you must watch the documentary Flight 666, you'll really get a unique insight to how Iron Maiden operate and how without any radio play they get the following they have. Great reaction as always. 🤘🏻👊🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@academaciated7466]

Live after death version is fire! ❤️❤️❤️

[@brianthomas5260]

[@ultrahdnoobz7256]

Love to watch these Iron Maiden reactions! Go get yourself some Iron Maiden merch right now.

[@alfwalker5698]

Seen Maiden live in London and twice in Christchurch... Can say that Sept 16th Auckland next year - Somewhere in Time set list - is going to be fantastic.

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

Will be amazing

[@brianthomas5260]

Yes they played four songs from Somewhere in Time. The only downer for me is that they played five songs off their new album. So they only played 6 other songs of the 40 I was hoping they would play. They don’t need new music. I’ve listened to the last couple albums. Once. That said I will still go see them every chance I get. Because no one and I mean NO ONE, has a better live show than Iron Maiden.!

[@hextatik_sound]

I was seeing them on this tour. It was the last time I saw Iron Maiden.

[@nickschiavulli693]

Love this song 🎵

"Where Eagles Dare" off the album Piece of Mind has some great Nicko moments. Check it out if you haven't yet. Up The Irons!

[@Rebel-Rouser]

On the Live after death live album they played this song waaay fast live... Still fast here, but not as fast as the before mentioned version.. check it out. its crazy fast.

[@rtin92]

Amazing video! Nicko is the beast 🤘🏼 Maybe next video for you Trivium's Alex Bent new playthrough.

[@davedoucette1256]

I love the analysis. What I don’t love in general is everyone saying in music you need a click or a metronome. To make it perfect!! Music I not meant to be played perfectly it should eb and flow. With in limits obviously. What makes a great band playing live is letting the music eb and flow.

[@timsears951]

just LOVE Nicko...

[@matthewnield3085]

Love th Maiden reactions, it would.be awesome if you did a waychalong of their Flight 666 documentary, it has a whole concerts worth of songs in it and it also serves as somehwhat of a history of the band as well

[@arthurferreira142]

For more Clive Burr you should listen to 22 Acacia Avenue and for more Nicko Where Eagles Dare or/and Dreams of Mirrors!!

[@AndrewRooneyDrums]

I'll get there!

[@pauloakley2124]

I wish you could do an analysis of the song Powerslave. Either the studio version or Live from Long Beach Arena. 🤘

[@Haggath]

I’m sure Nicko mentioned in drumming video on Maiden’s KZbin channel that he uses a click to start a song off, if its a drum/full band intro, then the rest of the song it’s just the band keeping time.

Really think you need to do the song Paschendale - live at Dortmund from the live album death on the road Drama , execution amazing stage and honestly I’m not a drummer but I think it’s quite different to most of Nikkos drumming on other songs

[@The_Stranger1986]

8:48 Iron Maiden don't know what a click track is. They don't need one, they just understand each other so well and despite some musical differences and a few minor falling outs over the years they've managed to make it work and have worked together to make some of the most unique and inspirational influences on the rock and metal genre to this day.

[@tutnichtnotig1297]

Maiden always plays without a click track or in ears. Bruce said shortly, that ghey always play to fast. I think this is the best version of that song. The "live after death" is not so clear melodic. Maybe you could react "Hell on Earth", sadly only as handy films available.

You'll fínd Maiden-fans and rock and metal-fans are most welcoming to more content overall (not only Maiden-content), Doug at www.youtube.com/@Doug.Helvering did a whole thing with Maiden-mondays and it seemed to help his channel grow alot. Just a tip ;)

[@Roadking26]

I loved this channel. I loved his personality, but when I went to request 2 paypal requests it was $95. So I'm paying him $95 to listen to a song and comment on it. Do you all think that is reasonable? I was going to donate $10 per song to have him react to UFO Natural thing, and light Out off of Strangers in the night. I thought that was more than generous. Lost in Vegas who started this whole reaction thing charges $1 a month with Paytreon. He must not have many students. If I could make $95 for 2 songs I would never work a real job again. So do you fan boys think that is fair? I think he is a con man.

[@filzand1477]

Never pause again during a solo please

[@brianthomas5260]

The only problem with Iron Maiden shows these days is their insistence in playing new material that the crowd doesn’t know. They have so many great songs they could play a six hour show and still not play all of them. They don’t need new material. If they want put out new material fine just don’t dedicate half your live show to playing shit people don’t know. You can see how great this song is live. Play what the fans know. I

[@icekiwi9533]

That's the great thing with Maiden. They are not a "greatest hits" caberet band. They are releasing solid new work that most fans love and that compliments the classic works.
