	Nicko McBrain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michael Henry McBrain (born June 5, 1952 in Hackney, London, England) is the drummer for heavy metal band Iron Maiden, and a songwriter.
		The first (and last) song Nicko McBrain recorded using a double bass drum was "Face in the Sand," on the Dance of Death album, 2003.
		Nicko claimed he had written a song for A Matter of Life and Death but because he joined the band late in the writing process (just before recording) there was no space on the album for it.

	NICKO McBRAIN BIOGRAPHY
		Nicko By that time Nicko had got disillusioned in his old band 'Trust' and in their musical direction, so when he was asked whether he wanted to join Maiden, he didn't think twice!
		Nicko used to learn to fly aeroplane and there was a time when he flied a lot.
		Nicko was nicknamed by the keyboard player of 'Streetwalkers' a long time ago, when the guy mispronounced his name.

		In the early 1990's, Nicko McBrain of Iron Maiden embarked on a series of Drum Clinics (I prefer to call them Salon's), appearing at a series of music shops across the country.
		Nicko turned up with his charcoal Sonor kit that he had used on the Somewhere in Time Tour.
		Nicko was a very good public speaker - despite breaking the house microphone pretty early on in the gig (he dropped it on the floor...).

		Nicko would continue to make his drumming and percussive mark on all the Maiden classics, spanning from '83 era Piece Of Mind up to 2000's present Brave New World.
		Maybe most symbolic with Nicko during his very early days would be his Powerslave era stick abusing (the production being superb for it's time), the likes of Aces High, Two Minutes To Midnight and the title track demonstrating this.
		The argument as to why Nicko doesn't use a double pedal is thus explained by this, although the one major criticism many have had of Maiden's rhythm section is that McBrain's pedal drumming has never being captured at it's finest on any Maiden studio record.

	Drummerworld: Nicko McBrain
		The Mad McBrain, as he has become known to the Maiden fans, is almost as freaky an on-stage presence as Eddie, leaping shirtless from his drum stool to lead the cheers as the band bound into another diamond from their bejewelled back-catalogue.
		Michael Henry McBrain was born in Hackney, East London, on June 5, 1952.
		From then until he joined Maiden, Nicko had been occupied mainly in session work, most memorably with the Pat Travers Band (on their 1976 'Makin' Magic' album), then with French soci-politico punk-metallists, Trust - who actually supported Maiden on tour in the UK in 1981.

	Nicko McBrain & Anthenora - Gagarin 205 - 19/11/2004
		Okay, I guess you all know who Nicko McBrain is, so we will – almost – skip the details regarding him.
		We can only assess that the somewhat 200 people that were there, at Gagarin 205 club, that sweet Nov 19th night, were expecting the same thing we were expecting.
		At first Nicko came to the stage alone, wearing a “Killers” shirt, a total anti-star.

		He joined the band in 1983, in time to record the "piece of mind" album, wich is one of the best iron maiden albums.
		The "mad mcbrain" as he is known for some iron maiden fans, has almost the same presence as Eddie.
		But again, they never got beyond the clubs and Nicko found himself meandering from gig to gig, playing with now barely remembered names like singer and keyboardist Billy Day.

		There are not many drummers in the world with Nicko McBrain's technique and skill on the drum set.
		Nicko and Ringo have two totally different styles; both great drummers in their own right.
		Nicko's kit is 3 times larger than Ringo's; although size doesn't matter, you get a different sound from tom-oriented heavy metal kit than a jazz-style four-piece.

		Seems that during the beginning of Nicko's drum solo, Steve's bass quit, so he told a roadie ("Bill"), to go and tell Nicko to try and extend his solo.
		All that happened was that Nicko missed the message but got distracted enough to mess up his solo.

	Iron Maiden Lyrics: Nicko McBrain Biography
		More famous than any drummer has a right to be, with a style as punchy and distinctive as his battered, lived-in face, Nicko McBrain enjoys the rare distinction of being both the jester in the Iron Maiden pack and the ace.
		Then he joined the Wells Street Blues Band, who were, in the lingo of the day, "a more purist blues thing".
		It wasn't until 1975, when he joined Streetwalkers, the band formed by ex-Family members, vocalist Roger Chapman and guitarist Charlie Whitney, that Nicko first found any sort of fame.

		Depois de um longo papo, Nicko voltou pra batera e tocou clássicos do Iron como "The Trooper", "Running Free" e "Run to the Hills", além de algumas músicas mais recentes como "Man on the Edge" tudo isso com o publico "fazendo" o som dos outros instrumentos e os vocais.
		Após toda essa maratona, Nicko ainda teve a paciência de atender a todos os fãs presentes no teatro para uma longa sessão de autógrafos.
		Um detalhe interessante: apos Nicko ter atendido a todos, lá pela 1 da matina, este que vos escreve foi encher o saco do cara (que ja devia estar de saco cheio, afinal estava no teatro desde as 3 da tarde) pra ver se conseguia uma entrevista exclusiva ou algo parecido para o AlterNETive.

	Iron Maiden: Rock in Rio DVD reviewed on AudioRevolution.com
		When you look at these many thousands of people huddled together in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to watch British metal icons Iron Maiden perform in this DVD concert, you get the uneasy feeling that new music must have stopped crossing this South American country’s borders right around about 1980.
		But drummer Nicko McBrain looks eerily similar to the way Howard Hughes must have appeared during his last days of life, albeit one doubts McBrain could still play the drums if he also had old Howie’s famously extra long fingernails.
		Nicko McBrain is followed as he temporarily exchanges his drumsticks for golf clubs on the greens.
