Yeah, Metallica came later but Nicko stayed quite youthful and energetic as a drummer. I don't think it is just his obvious strength, like athletes good drummers seem to be very relaxed and controlled with skilled and efficient movements. You don't waste energy, you place energy.
How the hell is bruce still singing in that high register at his age?? Iron Maiden themselves are still on top of their game as a whole!!! Don't get me wrong I stoked they're still doing it cause they're my favorite group!!!
And don't forget they're doing this for almost two hours every other day for months :D (and Steve & sometimes Adrian if I'm not mistaken are having football matches with local clubs on their off-days)
Disciple and self care and good in-ear monitors. It's hard job even though Bruce is like man of steel, vocally. I think his voice has thinned a bit (some nights he's a bit raspy and papery) but he doesn't push it as hard as he did when very young. He's quite resilient when you consider his eighties shows could be way less consistent. I think they even have a few good years left, but let's not take them for granted!
The ULTIMATE metal song, the thunderous drums, climbing bassline, brilliant guitar harmonies, epic solo, and the powerful voice...all of it rolled into an OUTSTANDING golden gem....THIS is METAL, and performed by the metal ICONS: PHENOMENAL !!!
I never fail to be astounded by Bruce's voice. He just doesn't age it seems. He sounds damn near as good here as he did in the early 2000s. And the band is, like always, in top form. Unreal. I hope I get to catch them once again before they retire. Which, with performances like this, isn't likely to be anytime soon!
I höre they got a surprise for the geek fans... Alexander the great .. Nico mentís that he'd want to play it, but the one time they've tried it didn't work out well... Maybe they will give it a try... It's definitely a fan favourite I'd say - and what would be more fitting than playing it in Athens :) let's cross fingers
I hope I could sing like that at 61 years old, like Bruce. It's gonna be difficult, I guess, since I don't sing like that now, at 42, or when I was 20...
On the reunion tour the fanclub encouraged everyone to travel from the UK to Paris, because there weren't any UK gigs. We all tramped over there and had a great time, but Bruce didn't say one word in English to the crowd. But here he is, perfectly happy to speak English. He is one of the biggest cnts in music.
isn't that Dick Bell, the production manager of Maiden who is saying the "operation where eagles dare, repeat, operation where eagles dare"? The guy with moustache and almost bald?
WoW it's so good I almost had a heart attack lads 🍻🍻🍻 I need to check me testosterone levels with a doctor because I am high as F coupled with the nostalgia along with the notion I hear Maiden considers retirement just had Charlotte kick me in the nuts and turn into eddie real quick on me like 😿😿😿
So glad Maiden is still mostly all regular band members (from 83 to now) unlike priest which I like so much but as a vintage priest fan imho should quit... Not even with KK ...sorry....stop...KK do your own shit and keep what's left of your dignity....very sorry to say Priest HAS been done for awhile..... Love old Priest though.
susanne williamsson Because Adrian and Dave wrote most of the songs from IM and Janick gers play over the songs who only need 2 guitars and screwing the original flavor
Jorge Fox you´r not aware of all theese masterpieces his written, and theese gorgeous gentle intros and outros, mainly on accoustic guitar ?? I take it you want them back to heavy metal basics, loosing all theese long, brooding, outstanding progressive songs...well, everything to his or her taste I guess...
