[ter50]

Steve Gadd with a Killers t-shirt? I didn't know he loves Maiden!

[huzza09]

@ter50 LMAO!!! I've been watching this video for months trying to figure out who he looks like.. and you nailed it..

He could seriously be Steve Gadd's long lost twin brother..

[BlackenedThunder]

@ter50

Steve Gadd was Nicko McBrain's drum tech for 12 years ! That's not him of course though lol

[ricardoleony]

@ter50 LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[jarodrigues]

Just amazing! He's a master.

[Artem374]

Очень уважаю его!У нас в РОССИИ есть Максим Удалов!Тоже крут))

[giosmrbig]

ONE OF MY HEROES

[fluffyabyss]

For some, turning the stick around assists "Ghost notes" or "Grace notes if you will" and of course the power but the Snare is usually the last thing that needs more power.

[Zegers93]

Love the dude in the yellow sunglasses on the right.

[ivanthecreep]

6:47 lol

[jtrebel32]

If you ask me, I thought Nicko was really freakin money......but looks like if you ask the little girl on the ground in the pink, she doesn't look too impressed.....haha

[cello68]

Xcellent video , thanks for filming it dude :)

Nikko has one of the fastest right feet in the business!

[slashsmartyr]

Nicko 'The Octopus' McBrain!

[RigoStar]

awesome groove!

[Teixa2010]

the guy who saw dancing wildly in the background there?

[andreobermuller]

The guy smoking a cigarette behind Nicko is awesome!

[ACniklasDC]

@D4VEMURR4Y

:D

Anyway.. Nicko = Legend

[ACniklasDC]

Did anyone noticed Nicko's left Stick?

[D4VEMURR4Y]

@ACniklasDC Yeah, he often turns his left stick around. I don't know why, but maybe because the snare is louder that way.

[drummachinekeith]

HE IS A GOD!!!!!!(Bowing Down)

[rafaeldualmetal]

demais



[dimascrocco]

very nice!

pay attention to the crazy guy at the upper left corner... he smokes marihuana or he is completely drunk!

[maurizio9520]

fantastic mc brain.............!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

[rubntizzug]

thats not his kit

[MAGNVZ666]

small kit and some zildjians....AWESOME!!!! UP THE IRONS!!!!

[lronmaidenRgods]

he is better than all metal drummers using double bass...

[mrsmusicstar]

haha, check that man with the Iron Maiden shirt dancing ;p

[blahblibidyblahblah]

awesome solo.. but why's he playing Zildjians?

[ConscriptSuid]

@blahblibidyblahblah zildjians are gay

[DrumBumRyley]

definatly a better rock/metal drummer, than a jazz influenced drummer like mitch mitchell, but this cover is awesome i love it!

[JVM441]

@DrumBumRyley nicko mcbrain is jazz influenced. one of his inspirations was joe morello.

[DrumBumRyley]

@JVM441 nicko has a rock / metal style of drumming, sure he was inspired by joe morello, its like neil peart, when he tried changing his style from rock to big band, he still had elements of his old style with him and you can hear it in the music, its not a knock against either of them though, simply and observation

[gregj410]

Finally a camera man the stays on the drummer and stays still. I knew he was great, but he's even better than I ever imagined. I'd love to see him do clinics

[Luke50001]

I bet one of those cymbals cracked :D

 Love Nicko.

[slystak]

Nicko using Zildjians !!!

[admimortalRO]

the old man owns dude... the begining of the video his totally out of mind ^^

[xDXPxJOEx456x1]

that Harley rider is an asshole

[novagiant]

@ TheMazzi4  "...Stave Gadd..." LOL!!!!!!!!!

[yourhero36]

I am amazed at how much he "Grunts" while playing .. Increible drummer!

[muzaklover78]

Worst vocalist and guitarists I have ever heard do this song. Bass player is pretty tight. Nicko rocks on this one as he usually does with everything else.

[TheMazzi4]

[robodubbel]

[baine319]

Guy in the Iron Maiden shirt knows how to get down!

[TheTrooper9169666]

"Now, you see, boys and girls, it's all about the posture, your back have to be straight, otherwise you'll encounter some back problems over the years of service behind them drums, you see hehe, also, practice every day, and above everything else, boys and girls, it's important to love them drums, you see, the passion is the main thing, and there you have it, that's why me never get bored of pounding them woods, you see..."

[Tobben94Norway]

[emmett12345678]
