Sooty and Sweep Versus Nicko McBrain of Maiden

[mypasswordisgoogle]

I loved Sooty dressed as an astronaut in the Final Frontier tour. It's a shame it's impossible to see Nicko behind his drumkit though. :P

[c0d3x001]

is it just me or does nicko actually look a little like buddy rich in this video?

[LudwigSC93]

@c0d3x001 I would have to say it's you. Absolutely no resemblence in look or playing style ;)

[c0d3x001]

@LudwigSC93 ok so it's just me...that's why i asked xD

[MrMetalloidMan]

I like how nicko has a sweep puppet on his drum kit during tours

[Kaffyboy]

Crikey, that puppet is pretty darn good!

[wirikuta14]

Nicko lost, period.

[magnificent666]

I hate to say it, but Nicko is completely outclassed here.

[geolile]

jajajaja que buen sentido del humor tiene nicko, grandeeeee!!!

[pheonixthrone]

haha this video made me giggle

nicko is a god =]

iron maiden are GODS

[hevy15]

jajajajajajajja

ta bien chedo

[skithal]

This really reminds me of when Buddy rich played with "the monster" or what it´s called on the show with Kermit and the Puppets..

Really cool!

[platypuspwn]

Nicko loved this show.

[Thorpe741]

Is this the same puppet that makes an apperance in Maiden England "88(Birmingham)?

[RuskiRaven91]

Nicko always sticks a Sooty puppet onto his drumkit whenever Maidens on tour, and dresses it up. I cacked myself laughin when i saw it dressed up in a Pharoah garb during their last big tour

[filipepw]

that puppet kicks ass

mini-drum ass

[huckitamuckit]

nickos like, "wow this guy is a fuckin nerd" hahaha

[meyer412]

That's funny as hell!

[kimbob5]

I had this on video lol tanks for memorys man

[SHOGGWORTHY]

Was this before sooty started doing toilet porn?

[thomaslejon]

sonor signature is collector

[revan210]

Sooty and Sweep was awesome! I loved that show. Two great thing combined here! UP THE IRONS!

[acdcrocker2009]

wow. i guess if alice cooper can do it. nicko can.

[doomy08854]

this show actully looks really good

[OldSteamer]

LSD? HAHAha

[BCDPRODUCTIONS1234]

When did nicko change to Premier drums? I see him playing Sonor here

[SuperChuck3]

According to Wiki: "McBrain currently uses Premier drums and Paiste cymbals. Previously he had been endorded by Sonor drums and switched to Premier in the early 1990s when Sonor were sold." I don't understand what it means "when Sonor were sold." but wtv lol

[maxio94]

haappyy birthday michael "nicko" mcbrain its your birthday today i wish you energy to play drums!!!!!

[mypasswordisgoogle]

After watching this I've noticed that when Maiden are playing the Live at Rock in Rio gig Nicko has a sooty plushy on his drumkit. How damn awesome is that?

[lvo1306]

@mypasswordisgoogle He has one on his kit since this episode aired. Nicko is the best!

[KrecikOwsik]

@mypasswordisgoogle Not only at Rock in Rio. Look at all shows. In AMOLAD tour sooty plushy has a soldier uniform and a helmet, and on Final Frontier Tour he has an astronaut costume ;)

[jurnag12]

@mypasswordisgoogle He always has it there, with the plushy being appropriately dressed for whatever tour they're on. But I was wondering why it was there in the first place.

[ebonyaxe]

Mc Brain ..ROCK ON,,is that puppet really playing the drums..

[TheAnaCalaveraShow]

The drums of those puppets can't sound that powerful like the real drums.

[SkrillaBrilla]

my new favorite video. up the irons mofo.

[irrikan]

Too bad Sooty didn't do a guest gig with the Irons. Would have looked cool with the Eddie animatronics... :)

[BlackenedDay666]

but thats the thing, sooty is at EVERY maiden concert :) he's on nicko's kit lol.

[sashaliterry]

[CrazyBadBastard]

UP THE IRONS! nicko is awesome :D

[Sammeffy]

what year was this?

[ClayCowProductions]

well i guess it was around mid nineties, thats when sooty was going strong!

[IronRay12]

I think around 1987 :P

[christschinwon]

Yeah. I don't think I saw sooty on Nicko's kit until the Seventh Son tour

[emeishanmusic]

[roberytfromthetemple]

Def Leppard?

[MadForM9950Cal]

[JonnyInfinite]

yeah I know I was joking.

an armless joke....

(sorry thats a sick joke: I love both actually) :)

[arizonabay1970]

could the shells on Nicko's kit be any bigger - at least we know now where all of the old Saturn V rocket stages from the moon landing ended up.

[NickoMcbrainRules]

you Win!

[marckituz]

JAjajaja buenisimo!!!

[Angusismyhero]

That's so cool, I must've seen it but don't remember

[edgirl05]

HAHAha how funny im posting this on myspace ROCK ON SOOTY stay savage \m/

[Johnny6666]

In the original version, Eddie the 'Ead storms onto the set at the conclusion and eats Sooty and Sweep.

;)

[G0RIVI4N]

that is awesome, nicko should do a tour wearing the sooty and sweep puppets, that would be pretty cool

[hoohahwashin]

after this he has always had a sooty puppet on his kit

[runtodemhills]

I've always wondered where that came from, haha! Cheers!!

[pilotoatomico]

yo, where did you see that

[sicklesmith]

:D Oh so it was THAT! When i saw them something was sitting in front of his drums, i cudn't guess wat itwas...

and it wore a little egyiptian textile-kerchief stuff on its head! :)

[stickyriver87]

apparently nick's been a fan of the show since he was a kid... he often has sooty placed on his drumkit and sometimes even a life-sized one walks on stage during shows lol

[Chewbaxter]

Nice one!

Years since I last saw this!

:D

Neil.

[JaKeYM666]

that drum kit is so cute!

[Deaktiver]

OH MY GOD THATS SO FUNNY!!!

[gunsnroseskickass]

HAAAAAAHAAAAAAAA!

Wierdest thing ever!!!

[stickyriver87]

*scratches head*

[JonnyInfinite]

This is officially the most bizarre clip on YouTube

[xeddieizzardx]

You really think so?

haha.

[JonnyInfinite]

tell me a clip that is more bizarre in terms of juxtaposition?

[davidlaurence82]

woop's i mean't sooty! lol

[davidlaurence82]

Wow sutty is pretty good at the drums.

[Phar0ah]

THIS IS SO ADORABLY FUNNY

[UKPatriotsFan]

I believe Nicko used to operate Sooty behind the counter! He always has a Sooty puppet tied to his drum kits at Maiden Gigs!

[Phar0ah]

i love this show

[Gonzoidz]

Love that Sooty bear!! And Sweep.

[pusstkat80smac]

I think sooty & sweep won that lol.

I was told that the lead singer of Iron Maiden is actally the cousin of Mattew Corbett.

In 1 of there shows, He brings sooty on stage with them.

[svaran]

Isn't that on the maiden in england show?

Classic clip. I remember doing a double take when I saw it on TV

[alkalidocklive]

Having seen Maiden England I don`t remember it being on but he did comment about it at the end of the show.

[pusstkat80smac]

Yeah I think it is. My sister has a video of it.

[alkalidocklive]

Don`t think thats quite right, the lead singer of Iron Maiden was the cousin of another singer in a band called Catherine Wheel.

[pusstkat80smac]

Well that's what some1 told me anyway. He could be a cousin to both maybe.

[alkalidocklive]

Mathew Corbett as from northern england and hardly related to Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden, If it was true I would`ve heard about it. He WAS the cousin of a guy called Rob, the singer in Catherine Wheel, who made it biggish in the states...

[03john0]

you say was, did the cousin die or something?

[03john0]

my first comment is meant as a reply to alka and the costume one is meant to someone on the first page during the replys to he didnt wan tot eb there. my replies always come up as seperate commetns....

[triskelion86]

looooooooooooooooollllllllllll­l!!!!!!! :) :D

[CannibalYoda]

brilliant

[philandgary]

That Sooty's a talented little bastard!

[steven27061976]

how do you know he is a bastard? Have you met his mother (for a few minuets of pleasure then ignored her permanently) perhaps

[alkalidocklive]

Sooty is God. He needs no father or mother.

[Mulletbb]

hahahaha by his face, I think Nicko didn't want to be there...

[alkalidocklive]

He didn`t. Apparently he got asked and refused but his (then) five year old son found about it and sulked until he said he`d do it...

[Mulletbb]

yeah, even Nicko can't say no

to a five years old kid. :)

nice video anyway.

[Mulletbb]

I've seem somewhere a picture

of Nicko's kit with those puppets on

it.

[03john0]

he used to come on in a sooty costume when they all came on in costume, he did it twice i think

[Geogothboy]

The small drum sticks sticky taped or glued on to sooty and sweeps hands lol

[eddiespig666]

hah he got his ass kicked by a puppet

[alkalidocklive]

Lets say Nicko won!

[fungihead]

nicko got his ass kicked

[APOTH101]

sooty and sweep were better! lol.

JOKES

maybe they can be the support for iron maiden's next tour. JOKES again!

[IronMaidenRocker]

what year is this? i want to say around 86, 88, but idk

[martybags72]

Nice shirt Nicko! But where is Sue? She was a slut
