McBrain Damage - War Pigs (Nicko)

[@tomh4792]

the happiest drummer in heavy metal

[@LuisRodriguez-ej7bq]

You probably haven't seen Marco Minemann playing...

[@metalheadcomicbookfan797]

Yep he's like the Steven Adler of metal drums. Lol

[@mauriciohuaracanmarinao6525]

Luis Rodriguez but Minemann plays more prog than heavy metal. Anyways, they’re both happy drummers and very fun to watch playing.

[@robertharding8394]

he loves it

[@wirikuta14]

A true drummer, a true humble person with a gift very few have. Hats off to Nicko.

[@markdemell3717]

A good ole Christian boy and quite the golfer,cheers Nicko ,Love ya dude.

[@SpotlightKid83]

I was there. He has a double bass pedal because there was an opening band, and that's their drummer's kit, not Nicko's. The bass player is Dave Spitz (ex Black Sabbath, Great White, Gary Moore and more. Also a practicing lawyer). He is also the brother of Dan Spitz from Anthrax. But they don't play together anymore.

[@maxdurk4624]

Nobody has more fun than Nicko lol

[@DannyGadish]

Mikey Rocky Hayes 1477 1. Mitch Mitchell had the best groove and swing. 2. Bill Ward had power and energy. 3. Ian Paice had speed. 4. Bonham had tone

[@wallysonantonio6003]

1. Mitch Mitchell had the best groove and swing. 2. Bill Ward had power and energy. 3. Ian Paice had speed. 4. Bonham had tone, groove and swing, power and energy and speed

[@DannyGadish]

Wallyson Antonio Bonham wasn't nearly as fast as Ian Paice

[@pedroleite8788]

That bass player was a beast too!!!! Amazing!

[@survivorea]

+Pedro Leite Very fucking bassist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NAMEEEE plz

[@wallaceh4]

i think that Dave Spitz

[@TheWwe328]

That is Dave Spitz, friends with him on Facebook.

[@eduardoariaz1215]

Pedro Leite I THINK LO MISMO!!...YEAH

[@hinjurock]

@@wallaceh4 His brother Dan is a pretty good guitarist as well 😉

[@ontaka5997]

6:40 Nicko looks down: Extra pedals! What are they for? Oh! Double Bass Pedals! Wicked! First time I have seen Nicko using them.

[@stitcha123]

nicko for me sits right inbetweeen old school feel drummers and more modern technical ones. awesome. awesome drummer.

[@Sk8Vader]

Hes in my all time top 5. ( I rotate em out so one day Chester Thompson will be no.1 then next day Nikko. Chad Smith gets to be no twice a week though. 😉)

[@milmil6594]

incredible bass licks too

[@1Daddoz1]

Nicko is a great guy and an amazing drummer. His kind-heartedness and his tasty grooves reminds me of the late but very great drummer, Mick Tucker from Sweet. I have met both of these guys in my lifetime and both are the coolest guys you'd ever wanna meet.

[@jetteastwood2714]

Bass player overshadowed everybody with his amazing licks

[@corkskrewclubhouse93]

Damn, that bassist is hardcore.

[@williamhickey9200]

Yeah dude hes in the pocket bro. Insane. Wish i was that good with my bass.

[@leandrocsrpanca]

Toda música para ele é uma festa 👏🏻👏🏻😅🙏🤘

[@skyrix3805]

The singer went from sounding like ozzy to sounding like James Hatfield

[@noneyerbidness]

Who?

[@Algorithm347]

noneyerbidness fuck off

[@stavrosmaiden]

I remember when I saw this video for the first time, then it was new! I am truly surprised how fast 12 years passed.....

[@MOGVET93]

I could watch Nicko play for hours. Nicko is one true professional. DRUM GOD he is. HAIL NICKO...........

[@nirmalpaul13]

Been drumming for over a decade and I still learn something new every time I watch Nicko. He’s a true legend

[@Dylan-qt5nr]

You'll never stop learning. It's the best part of drumming. The less I play the better I get. The more I over cook it the worse I get. Guitarists run out of licks with age where drummers can keep the curve going way into old age.

[@kclark0395]

Playing like this with such incredible ease and with a smile on his face, just having a blast. Wow.

[@marra5203]

When you find out what makes you happy in life you end up like Nicko playing drums.

[@klistarf]

God, i love Nicko! Such a superb drummer, yet, i am drawn from his amazing skills by just watching how much FUN he has whilst playing!! Fuck, he ALWAYS makes me smile (and even laugh), when i watch him play! Nicko, Mate you are the epitome of the 'mad drummer'! Much love, kudos and ultimate respect, Dude... \m/ (:o)

[@sakshi98]

Must have seen this video hundred of times ......but the kiddo lurking inside Nicko is a pure treat to watch everytime!! Everyone wants to play more notes but no one can feel drums like him! What a gem!

[@skvanharen]

Thinking of Nicko as just some fun-loving goof who wandered into a beach barbecue makes this excellent performance even better (and lots funnier).

[@pearldrummer4077]

Love this guy. He gives so much back to the drumming community and enjoys himself too!

[@marcomartins9550]

6:46 Nicko double pedal Rare moments.

[@westonjones4886]

Marco Martins You can see how much faster his right foot is

[@seanvandeman1512]

I've got the same problem. Luckily for what music I write, double bass isn't so important anyhow. 😋 Nicko's amazing with one foot, much like Bonham! :)

[@razxtrm]

he says double bass is not Drummerish...dayuum

[@jamsjr44]

I just love his facial expressions and how much fun he is having! Nicko still can play!!

[@xencage]

He drums with his whole body, even his face. Awesome.

[@MoltiSanti]

You're welcome. Thank you for the kind words. Being there and recording the vids was one of the best experiences in my life, honestly.

[@Algorithm347]

That bass as well 😍

[@krismounts]

I could watch Nicko play all day long (he is awesome) !!!!

[@adamdontdocoke]

What a killer performance! The rhythm section was A+!

[@drummer7557]

He's the whole reason I play, and does a good job here, funny he was off on the first set of high-hat counts but he's aloud!! HA. Then again NO ONE will ever play it like Bill Ward in 1970...just a staggering mix of Jazz and Rock style drumming back then. Awesome!! Nicko does the McBrain version (style)

[@gabrielbrouwer]

The bassist actually played with Sabbath from 1985 to 1987 and played on the Seventh Star album.

[@EstepeLoboda]

Neil Murray?

[@gabrielbrouwer]

@@EstepeLoboda Dave Spitz, Neil joined in 1989.

[@TJCombo67]

One of the best feel drummers of all time. He plays what needs to be played...and then just a bit more..lol. One of my all time favorites.

[@JustAnotherKissFan]

Nicko one of the coolest guys in Music! You can tell when he is having fun. Same with Janick and Bruce! You know when they are having a good show!!

[@Droogie128]

A legend playing the song of a legend.

[@antoniocetari5242]

O melhor baterista da istoria ele e meu ispelho nicho eromeide...marcus baterista Petrópolis

[@mrc942]

Nicko killing it! Beast.

[@runito75]

The prettiest bloke in the band!

[@image30p]

The bass tone reminds me of Billy Sheehan. Sounds incredible.

[@DrumsByAdisa]

I need you to shake the camera just a bit more

[@MoltiSanti]

I'll make sure to do so next time. Stay tuned for more shakery!

[@coinraker6497]

I had to stop watching after a few minutes....gettin kinda woozy.

i think nicko is not only my favorite drummer, but my favorite musician

[@Marcostrue]

What an energy!!!

[@apieceofdirt4681]

I had no idea he was/is that good!!! Nicko is a badass!! His playing and sense of time keeping is spot on!!!

[@maxdurk4624]

Nicko Mcbrain, Bill Ward and Dave Lombardo are the kings of fills

[@blustulagu]

Bordin would kill ward on this track!

[@jumanism5681]

No he wouldn't. Bill Ward is the best drummer in the world.

[@DannyGadish]

and ian paice

[@alvaroresendiz6757]

blustulagu Bordin was the WORST drummer hired in Black sabbath, (and Cufletos)

[@coinraker6497]

Don't forget about Moon the loon. Although he pretty much just did fills all the time...haha

[@comovocespodemver]

A pegada é sensacional! Impecável e preciso em todos os movimentos!

[@louiscarrillo5873]

Nicko always singing the melody while he plays. great lesson there,. great playin. loved it.

[@iGermoRtis]

that snare drum is fucking amazing

[@markw6586]

nicko is a maestro

[@kclark0395]

Watching him would make anyone think drumming is easy. He plays like this with such ease and looks like he's having a blast.

[@MrCelso68]

Artist and instrumentalist drummer humility, respectful for those who know less, participatory and share knowledge! I'm an admirer and have my respect!

[@emilio8381]

WOW.....great bassplayer too.....thanx for share this pearl

[@drummyboi7727]

Nico puts on a great performance lots of energy when he plays👍 also an amazing drummer🤘

[@keith14452]

Love Nicko! He obviously loves what he does as well as millions of others!!

[@anitnec]

In my opinion he can keep regularly beats .The facts is that he does many backbeats that normally a drummer doesn't use also keeping the rhythm, it comes from his jazz past .

[@psychedelia6891]

True

[@basb6230]

He plays ghost notes, because he tries to cover the second part of the origin Black Sabbath song, but it's not a perfect cover. A cover is a cover, and some give their own twist to it, or can't play it perfectly. Of course Nicko could, someone from his level, but this was probably unprepared.

[@gustavocovs]

@@basb6230 yes! The bass player was guiding Nicko.

[@crissreznor]

Just having a great time !

[@TheShagdog1313]

As a bass player myself of 40 years,,, I say holy shitballs that is a beast of a bass player there, choppy licks my man, hats off to you sir, and Niko is my favorite drummer. Ive got a fever, and the only persciption, is more cow bell.
