[KingHarris11]

Nicko likes thunder! My life is complete

[Ru1eBritannia]

metal elitists :(

[SonicAvatarFan]

Maiden > bullet for my goofy & all the other shitty bands!! D:<

[10078g]

@SonicAvatarFan whats funny is that iron maiden respect bullet for my valentine....and a member from maiden had to read these comments they would probly go ".bloody.wanker".

[rocketboy375]

fuck new "metal"

[MissRushandRoll]

THUNDER! Nice one Nicko.

[psycicpowers]

WHY THE F@*£? was there an adverstisment of The Wanted on an Iron Maiden Video!?

[guanjon]

Hahaha he's so British. Awesome dude. Good on anyone who can both stay humble and be so well known.

[sf987photo]

Who ever put bullet for my valentine for this, I will break their nose ! :O

[ThroughRock]

Bullet for my Valentine sucks!

[Thrasher5251]

The other gay nu metal bands

[Thrasher5251]

Omg, Fuck a7x and b4MV and all

[CarlMusicUK]

this would have been a great interview if i didnt have the shit song playing in the background...

[TasteTheirFeet]

whats wrong with the camera man ?

[WTFPS3RULZLOL]

@TasteTheirFeet He's obviously drunk as fuck

[Dungarth]

sonisphere is sit, full of fucking emos these days...hardly saw any proper metalheads

[djjake]

@Dungarth well done, your so hardcore ;)

[borninkilladelphia]

@Dungarth congrats dude ive seen no emos in the 3 years it's been running

[studas2011]

@Dungarth you're right

[drumdemon3]

@Dungarth nope its the best metal festival in the UK,ur mistaking it for download which is full of faggy kids bands,it doesnt get any more metal than the big 4 and slipknot

[Dungarth]

@drumdemon3 ..Slipknot...Metal!?!?! Saying Slipknot is metal is like saying Jedward are Hip-Hop. Theres nothing metal about Slipknot. If you want metal pick up a Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, Iced Earth or Blind Guardian CD. Thats actual Metal.

[sf987photo]

@Dungarth

FUCK YES!

[adam1ooo]

@Dungarth Perhaps they means a Different Genre of metal?

[swazycanoe]

you forgot maiden, they were experiences for all those bands, especially fate,metallica, iced earth, possesesed, should i go on?

[VAMPxSBR]

@Dungarth at least the emos listen to good music

[jamy313]

shouldnt it be Nicko Mcbrain interview instead or iron maiden?

[JosexpepE]

kids at 0:26? wtf?

[BADSKP]

POLL:WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE IRON MAIDEN ALBUM?

mine is Number Of The Beast

[mazb6t]

@BADSKP Dude! that is a difficult one but...erm..........i'd say seventh son of a seventh son. But all are awesome.

[ejl1000]

@BADSKP Iron Maiden (1980) - Their debut

[Eirik36]

@BADSKP powerslave! then number of the beast, then peace of mind

[Harstartheguitarist]

Why the fuck are they playing gay ass nu-metal? Why not some real fuckin metal! Went on here to see iron maiden not to make my ears bleed!

[BuriedAlive7x]

Haha I like this guy he's seems really chill

And lol when he mentions aerosmith

[PeaveyESP]

Best voice ever...

[tsimon1234]

He is the best front-man ever. Funny, friendly and clever. Such an awesome guy.

[RecklessDrift]

Why is there gay music on this video?

[EliSexyton]

Did i see a couple of dykes hooking up at the start

*nice*

[Aheadstix85]

Steve harrises daughter is hot!!.

[MrMontyBurnsDog]

@Aheadstix85 Fook my gaming boots.You arent kidding.Just clocked a piccy of Lauren on google.Phoowaar ^.^

[MagnanimityXII]

[FR3SHCRUNK]

I live in the same neighborhood as him. Friends with his kid Justin

[wildbucky]

sweet, niko likes most of the bands i do! UP TEH IRONS!!11!1one!1!1!

[effrainm]

why is there a gay ass BFMV song!?!?!?!

[volzagia]

BFMV on an iron maiden video? *PUKES* UP THE IRONS

[mdjubasak]

whats with the stupid music? at least have the courtesy to play some decent music as the intro to a great drummer

[loknloll]

@2112murphy it certainly does look like a nose ruined by cocaine. but nicko's nose has always looked like that, at least since he joined the irons in 85 for piece of mind.... maybe he used to box, or used to get into scraps down at the pub.

[rockpop1]

seems like a good festival maybe ill check it out

[JerryFro26]

wait wait wait,

NICKO LIVES IN FLORIDA!??

OMFG THATS AMAZING

[klextacy]

@JerryFro26

Yup.. He lives down around Coral Springs. You ought to check out his rib restaurant. Rock n' Roll ribs. He's there all the time when IM isn't on tour, and he plays there regularly w/ his band McBrain Damage. This past Sat. they had a huge welcome back party from the tour for him, as well as a listening party for the new IM album. His son Justin also played. He's a monster drummer in his own right.

[mrodredsox13]

What's the song in the begging called

[NothingSpecialMusic1]

@mrodredsox13 Scream Aim Fire by Bullet For My Valentine

[GuitarmanIeuan]

Lol he starts every interview with 'ello boys n girls! he's awesome

[ChibiMews]

ahhh omg he talks about john jackson HE IS MY DAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love nicko he is really nice

[Zeppelinrules2]

3:09 Ironic much?

[FakeHipHopSMD]

@gamwtospitakisoy Are you talking about the band playing the background music or Iron Maiden (band playing background music isn't Iron Maiden :o)?

[TheSlipknotdude69]

like this coment if you want nicko mcbrain to be your dad

[InspiringWear]

SCREAM AIM FIRE!!!!!

[forsoabba]

3:01 Biff Byfford?

[r0ckandrollTV]

music made

[maidenrox]

cant wait to se IRON MAIDEN at sonisphere this year! and all the other lovley bands

[Maidenrugby]

0:32 mins... fap fap

[rp1986]

Nice. You can hear Lamb of God getting going near the end of the interview.

[punkrockdrummer1990]

LOL! how can you play bullet for my valentine,....what an insult lol generic doublebass and same old breakdowns,....jeez iron maiden kicked ass in the early years,....and they kick way more ass now!!!

[wowhero96bh]

mehh why cant they play on ullevi instead this year

[pjharrison78]

I know it sounds ignorant and shallow, but it's so funny as an American to hear the British accent of Nicko McBrain describing his take on what's going on at this concert. Brits, man, you guys are the only ones who can rock out and still sound like gentlemen offstage! But, seriously, folks, Maiden Rules!

[Xiolablu3]

@pjharrison78 Amen to that my friend across the pond!

US + UK = generally the best music! (Of course there are some other bands from other coutries that are good tho)

Alice In Chains, Janes Addiction (before the sell out and most definitely WITH Eric Avery), Iron Maiden, Led Zepelin etc etc etc

[pjharrison78]

@Xiolablu3 Yes, indeed. One of those non-Anglo bands that comes to mind is Rammstein! Gotta love that ragged band of Teutonic musical geniuses. Pagan's Mind of Norway also rocks and I apologize for not listing any others whose names elude me at the moment. By the way, have you Brits got yourselves a bloody Prime Minister yet? Lol!

[MarkRiches]

jesus christ, that bullet for my valentine song is just the definition of what is bad about metal today

[nmillwater33]

wow steve harris' daughter is hot

[shooterbob65]

he always sais

Bois and Girls

[Melobione1]

2:54 Dead By April :)

[GGGriggs]

I am so bloody happy to be going to this year's Sonisphere Festival in Knebworth!!!

Iron Maiden are headlining!!!

:-D

The greatest British band EVER is headlining, and it'll be my first ever proper rock concert!!!

X-D

UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!!

[mrkilley2900623]

@GGGriggs snap!

[krajnovic10]

wtf is with bfmv music, ive got nothing against them but c'mon its nicko at least play some iron maiden. UP THE IRONS

[Gu1tarShr3dd3r]

dude iron maiden inspired ALL metal, its just that they ruin that inspiration and turn it into playing frop D tuning as fast as possible. AKA modern metal =/

[GHfanNr1]

Nicko ain't the best drummer in the world, seriously... Drummers like Bonham, Peart, Portnoy and Moon are better than him. But all respect for Nicko, he is awesome

[maxinator96]

@GHfanNr1 Actually, Bonham wasn't brilliant - I can play most of his stuff! And Keith Moon was fast but MASSIVELY sloppy. But you still have to respect them, and totally agree on Peart and Portnoy.

[feret1993]

i love that he calls everyone boys and girls

[IRONCRIER5]

lol i love nicko best deummer in the world...his nos is pretty damn unique tho

[jame0taha]

0:28 Metallica t-shirt haha !!!

[ssalvas10omstat]

you are great and it hasn't nothing to do that your nose is like mine if i were a professional boxer hehehe you are the man!!

[Hverglemer]

MAN i hate emo/metalcore.

[arto1029]

dickinson's sons band is metalcore

[Stiwky]

fuck the emo shit at the beginning

[melizavazquez]

Bullet for my Valentine is actually one good Emo Band!!

[yeatsg]

@melizavazquez

bullet for my valentine is actually SHIT!!!!!!

[melizavazquez]

Well that's your Opinion!! Maiden inspired them. And you can't change that fact.

[GreatMasterOfDarknes]

yes maiden inspired them.. but they took this inspiration and just thrown it away :) to inspire doesn't mean that the one who got inspired will do a good job.. bullet for my valentine and all the modern "metal" is pure shit..

[ExtremeBogom]

@GreatMasterOfDarknes

That's just an opinion.

I don't like it either though.

[Justinshred01]

@yeatsg AMEN TO THAT BROTHER!

[Hverglemer]

@yeatsg

yes, they deserve to fucking die.

[MissRushandRoll]

Awesome name check for Thunder and Danny there!

Great interview!

[wizzyjo]

[maxinator96]

@IronRay12 All the festivals this year are MADE for me! It's annoying not being 18.

[jshads88]

[SimonDaNinja2]

God Bless him! So glad he found Jesus, means I'll see him in heaven.

[Uptheironsserbia666]

LIving Legend. God Bless you Nicko!!

[sinbysin666]

Seriously. I'm really excited about the upcoming album. Because i really don't know what to expect.

I expect maiden of course. But i don't expect it to have a AMOLAD type of style, because that album, as great as it was, was as good as it gets, and i think they need to progress even more.

[666mathew]

Thanks PingiFo!

[666mathew]

Which artist did Nicko mention after Heaven and Hell ?

he mentined something about taking them out or retirement from Canada.

[PingiFo]

Saga

[goochada67]

[huckitamuckit]

[NickRusDrum]

Nicko-thank you! I will do this !!!!!!!!!
