Nicko McBrain Live (Iron Maiden) - Rock n Roll Ribs Anniversary Party 2017

Yep. I got to meet the legend and watch him play tons of Iron Maiden songs and other classic rock hits. This was an amazing experience, watching him up close. What a great guy! They throw a party at the restaurant parking lot every year. Anyone can walk in, eat, listen to music, and meet the man.

You guys like Iron Maiden right? I've got a couple of covers. Up the Irons! 🔥🎸bit.ly/2L7rYaw

[@dereksmallsuk]

Fine efforts,!

[@paulespinosa5195]

oh yea nico,is bomb

[@HenkeEdge]

Nice a coverband with the REAL drummer. Up the Irons Dudes ..and dudettes. 🤘🏻🤪🤘🏻

[@TheQ2004]

I would honestly faint if I saw the legend himself play drums live. Nicko is the greatest drummers on earth, no question

[@katdbass]

great guy!

[@mjf5382]

He is so calm and effortless. Other metal drummers look like they’re struggling. It almost like he is out for a walk with his dog.

[@rodneylee4026]

All in the wrist

[@cajun812]

It's not just because he's a badass drummer from one of my favorite bands growing up, but Nicko just seems like a truly decent and fun guy to be around.

[@katdbass]

cajun812 yes!!!!!

[@dietermuller8625]

I met him at several Drummer Workshops in the 90's, he is an awesome Guy! It was a Pleasure, talk to him...

[@DarkestDemon666]

I can totally agree. He is amazing and so down to earth to talk to.

[@themanlikepaul]

Nicko didn’t put any less into it than when Maiden is doing a stadium. Because he’s an awesome bastard.

[@chrismoody9855]

I could watch Nicko play for hours. What a drumming legend.

[@biorythmicshifter]

His control is scary good. That level of playing can only come from years and years of playing. Extremely tasteful playing...

[@terrytk9398]

Intelligent drumming, great time, solid control, musical fills, and playing the song without overplaying. Who could ask more of a drummer?😀👍

[@katdbass]

and down to earth! the guy is amazing!

[@CrazyHenkie777]

Exactly this! Top comment!

[@andromedawins9849]

yes overplying is a nightmare, the less notes the better, double base is shit unless u can use inteligently like Ian Mosley from Marillion anothe great drummer

[@jamesburns8093]

Nearly 70 years old & still one of the best EVER!

[@tatsu8886]

What an absolute god.. He's so happy and so into just playing the drums. Dosen't matter how big the kit is, what he's missing, he makes it fucking work, and he is just so full of passion. We Maiden fans are so fucking lucky to have him behind the skins. God Bless you, Nicko.

[@musikexplorer7115]

Give him only one drum - he will rock it !

[@bobbystewart-drumsforlife1844]

Nicko is a fuckin amazing drummer...bring his best no matter what environment he is in ... love Nicko !

[@SwRI238]

Nicko, seems like a genuine nice guy that loves everything about music and playing.

[@Francisqueti]

Nicko is a legend.

[@katdbass]

one of a kind!

[@DethHasArrived]

I may have lots of bias here, because Maiden has been my favorite band for 3 decades, but Nicko is absolutely one of the best drummers in music period.

[@katdbass]

I agree!

[@nickyoung6993]

Of course

[@chrismoody9855]

Oh you're not biased, you are absolutely 💯 correct.

[@sergiogarcia2078]

Quién putas pone dislike al maestro de maestros, es un grande y a pesar que está acostumbrado a tener una amplia batería sabe acomodarse con lo que hay de momento y no pierde en nada su esencia!

[@katdbass]

ah que importan los likes y dislikes... ;) lo importante es que le guste a uno y ya

[@Dario-jq7sy]

Iron Maiden......the best band in the world...... Great Niko...!! Up the Irons from Italy.

[@katdbass]

Up the Irons!

[@bigstef2010]

I love this guy. Still great inspiration after all these years.

[@ewertoncassiano4764]

Nicko never plays the same kind, every single video that I saw before never. But it always good to see.

[@toddlavigne6441]

The best heavy metal drummer.

Wow Nicko totally got into jamming with guys, just like his concert performances, pretty good indication these guys do awesome Maiden covers 👏👏👏

[@darior.2996]

No words! Great, the one, Nicko!

What does Nicko do when not touring, recording and being generally in Maiden? Oh yeah plays iron maiden with friends and strangers!! Up the irons!

[@katdbass]

He's the man!

[@gabrielleemmons2818]

Nicky makes playin so effortless. In my opinion he os the GOAT for drummer. That much energy night night as Maiden show. He is remarkable ❤

[@RobertBernalDrums]

I was there!!! The happiest day of my life!!!

[@katdbass]

it was amaaaazing! Did you get to meet him? He was so nice...dunno how he handles being swarmed by people like that and is actually nice and chirpy with everyone. What a great guy!

[@RobertBernalDrums]

@@katdbass Yes! I met him, but I could talk to him a very little... because another fan approached. Well, he was a little distant when I approached, there weren't others people. Anyway, he was gentile. Nice experience!

[@joselennyreyes4781]

Que técnica de Nicko, no hay video en el que no me deje boquiabierto. Cada video usa técnicas increíbles y es un baterista impredecible y que sale siempre de lo monótono. Sin duda alguna de los más grandes barristas del heavy metal .¡

[@katdbass]

totalmente! Y toca con una facilidad y tranquilidad!

[@JesusPedrosa1]

Yo creo que es bueno hasta con unas latas de detergente, es increible.

[@JesusPedrosa1]

lucky you!

[@jamsjr44]

How can’t not love watching play! He has so much fun!

[@elvissorna8861]

Rock solid chops with signature style, just the best in the business. That's why Maiden chose him. He's actually overqualified for the job.

[@14rockme]

If he’s got him s 184 piece kit or a 24 piece kit, he still rocks it !!

YES
