[BrolySuperSaiyen]

[FourPie]

Nicko! :)

[drumtheater92]

Oh hey, Nicko McBrain.

[weresam1]

best line from nicko! " Give me those bloody sticks what do you think your gunna do with those?! Oh sorry boy N gals."

[ZeCivREdz]

FUCKING LOVE NICKKO!!!!

[armyguy298]

NICKO!

[MlKEPORNTOY]

I dye my pubes blue too. It gives new meaning to the phrase "blue balls."

[caressxofxsteel]

wow nicko......only you

[kk6downing]

Nicko and Mike = Two bad f**king ass drummers!!!

[metalmonkey007888]

This made me happy ;)

[OfivetwoekVeeDee]

A7X were so stupid firing him...Unthankful bastards.....Nicko owns cause hes too good for double pedals...his left foot is too classy and hell never use such a thing as a slave pedal..it has to be a "master pedal"

[BuriedAlive77]

@OfivetwoekVeeDee - Nice uninformed post you made there.....A7X had stated all along that Mike was only ever going to be with them for 2010 and Mike knew this also so he wasn't fired, the agreement was fulfilled.

Carry on.....

[OfivetwoekVeeDee]

@BuriedAlive77 I forgot...My bad..But my thought about nicko wont change..His left pedal should be a liberal pedal..No slave pedal for nicko

[OfivetwoekVeeDee]

A7X were so stupid firing him...Unthankful bastards.....Nicko owns cause hes too good for double pedals...his left foot is too classy for a double pedal

[HolyDeth]

[rodolforops]

a7x dismissed you because of your damn arrogance dear mr mike

[nonhasthisusername]

@rodolforops lol what are you on about? are you high? might have missunderstood the comment, but mike is one of the most non arrogant drummers out there, considering the high status and profile he has.

[KHfan4ever23]

what would metal be like without Nicko??

[swamprat79]

I think the only reason he decided to play for Avenged Sevenfold is because he's tired of the sausage fest at all the Dream Theater shows.

[androiddecolt11]

[rafagonzales]

hahahaha Nice!

[rrhoads82]

NICKO FTW!!!!!! hahahaha

God bless The rev and long live Mike Portnoy!

[ElBlashyrkh]

I love it when Nicko curses like a good son of a bitch!

For me personally these two guys had/have the most impact on my Drumming. I mean these freaks are the best drummers in the world for me and they are such down to earth guys. Even though they clearly not the best technical Drummers in the World from the objective point of view, but they have the greatest charisma in the Drumming World. By far!

[davetrudel81]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I love this!!!!!!!

[ripplecutbuddha]

Even though it's not about the awards, it's great to see recognition for a drummer, and band, that have fought from day one to remain who they are at all costs. I saw the show in Albuquerque last week and was thrilled to the last note. The Monty Python bit at the end was priceless BTW. My first experience seeing either band live, and absolutely not the last.

Congrats to you Mike and thank you and your family for all you've given us over the years. My gratitude will not say enough.

[Vintagekieran]

YEHHHH NICKO!!!!!!!!!!

[bintang112003]

Love the tactfully placed Maiden merchandise in the background! XD

[TheMetaldrummer1987]

[anonbr666]

[Snedd99]

I was wondering why you were holding Vic Firth sticks, and then it clicked when Nicko came into the frame :).

[frqncymntr]
