I was there. He has a double bass pedal because there was an opening band, and that's their drummer's kit, not Nicko's. The bass player is Dave Spitz (ex Black Sabbath, Great White, Gary Moore and more. Also a practicing lawyer). He is also the brother of Dan Spitz from Anthrax. But they don't play together anymore.
1. Mitch Mitchell had the best groove and swing. 2. Bill Ward had power and energy. 3. Ian Paice had speed. 4. Bonham had tone, groove and swing, power and energy and speed
Nicko is a great guy and an amazing drummer. His kind-heartedness and his tasty grooves reminds me of the late but very great drummer, Mick Tucker from Sweet. I have met both of these guys in my lifetime and both are the coolest guys you'd ever wanna meet.
You'll never stop learning. It's the best part of drumming. The less I play the better I get. The more I over cook it the worse I get. Guitarists run out of licks with age where drummers can keep the curve going way into old age.
God, i love Nicko! Such a superb drummer, yet, i am drawn from his amazing skills by just watching how much FUN he has whilst playing!! Fuck, he ALWAYS makes me smile (and even laugh), when i watch him play! Nicko, Mate you are the epitome of the 'mad drummer'! Much love, kudos and ultimate respect, Dude... \m/ (:o)
Must have seen this video hundred of times ......but the kiddo lurking inside Nicko is a pure treat to watch everytime!! Everyone wants to play more notes but no one can feel drums like him! What a gem!
@@MoltiSanti , I am staying tuned for your next shaky video cameras. And ,now I am gonna subscribe for your comment reply of this issue of shaking cameras. Lol.
I've got the same problem. Luckily for what music I write, double bass isn't so important anyhow. 😋 Nicko's amazing with one foot, much like Bonham! :)
O melhor vídeo de todos os tempos! Jamais vi uma pessoa se divertir tanto tocando maravilhosamente bem uma batera quanto esse!!! Que Deus continue abençoando imensamente Micke!!!
He's the whole reason I play, and does a good job here, funny he was off on the first set of high-hat counts but he's aloud!! HA. Then again NO ONE will ever play it like Bill Ward in 1970...just a staggering mix of Jazz and Rock style drumming back then. Awesome!! Nicko does the McBrain version (style)
Artist and instrumentalist drummer humility, respectful for those who know less, participatory and share knowledge! I'm an admirer and have my respect!
As a bass player myself of 40 years,,, I say holy shitballs that is a beast of a bass player there, choppy licks my man, hats off to you sir, and Niko is my favorite drummer. Ive got a fever, and the only persciption, is more cow bell.
In my opinion he can keep regularly beats .The facts is that he does many backbeats that normally a drummer doesn't use also keeping the rhythm, it comes from his jazz past .
He plays ghost notes, because he tries to cover the second part of the origin Black Sabbath song, but it's not a perfect cover. A cover is a cover, and some give their own twist to it, or can't play it perfectly. Of course Nicko could, someone from his level, but this was probably unprepared.
this man is a great drummer, amazing hands and liks, everything in place with a lot of musicality, amzing right foot, this man plays really good, the figures in the hats are really cool.
Sabbath is one of my all time faves. I'm a sonor drummer of 30 years experience and your age. We check out much of the same stuff ( Meytal, Maiden, and thumbs up on the Steve Gadd four sticks!). Keep drummin brah!
You're welcome, brother. It's so awesome that Nicko can do huge world tours where you can't even see him behind his cymbals & mounted-toms - and then he can show up to some BBQ on what looks to be some drum kit that isn't his and just completely kick ass... and it's so cool that a cat like you can be right there to catch it for us. It burns me the fuck up that some asshole[s] would have the nerve to whine about not having a fucking TRI-POD. Thanks again. :)
I can see a number of comments for Nicko's "bad" drumming performance in this song and generally...but.. is there anyone of you playing better and made the ...half...at least of his life career ???anyone please?? SHOW SOME RESPECT YOU ALL TO THIS LIVE METAL HISTORY THAT STILL PLAYS WHILE LAUGHING, SO THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS REAL MUSIC...RESPECT...IF YOU CAN NOT DO THAT JUST STFU AND LISTEN LADY GAGA...
cara acho que uma das melhores coisas em ver o Mr.Nicko tocar é essa essência que só ele tem, essa alegria, porra é demais, é muito gostoso de se ver. MASTER.

the happiest drummer in heavy metal
You probably haven't seen Marco Minemann playing...
Yep he's like the Steven Adler of metal drums. Lol
Luis Rodriguez but Minemann plays more prog than heavy metal. Anyways, they’re both happy drummers and very fun to watch playing.
he loves it

A true drummer, a true humble person with a gift very few have. Hats off to Nicko.
A good ole Christian boy and quite the golfer,cheers Nicko ,Love ya dude.
incredible bass licks too
6:40
Nicko looks down: Extra pedals! What are they for?
Oh! Double Bass Pedals! Wicked!
First time I have seen Nicko using them.
That bass player was a beast too!!!! Amazing!
+Pedro Leite Very fucking bassist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NAMEEEE plz
i think that Dave Spitz
That is Dave Spitz, friends with him on Facebook.
Pedro Leite I THINK LO MISMO!!...YEAH
@@wallaceh4
His brother Dan is a pretty good guitarist as well 😉
Nobody has more fun than Nicko lol

Wallyson Antonio Bonham wasn't nearly as fast as Ian Paice
Bass player overshadowed everybody with his amazing licks
I remember when I saw this video for the first time, then it was new! I am truly surprised how fast 12 years passed.....
Nicko is a great guy and an amazing drummer. His kind-heartedness and his tasty grooves reminds me of the late but very great drummer, Mick Tucker from Sweet. I have met both of these guys in my lifetime and both are the coolest guys you'd ever wanna meet.
nicko for me sits right inbetweeen old school feel drummers and more modern technical ones. awesome. awesome drummer.
Been drumming for over a decade and I still learn something new every time I watch Nicko. He’s a true legend
You'll never stop learning. It's the best part of drumming. The less I play the better I get. The more I over cook it the worse I get. Guitarists run out of licks with age where drummers can keep the curve going way into old age.

I could watch Nicko play for hours. Nicko is one true professional. DRUM GOD he is. HAIL NICKO...........
The singer went from sounding like ozzy to sounding like James Hatfield
Who?
noneyerbidness fuck off
Thinking of Nicko as just some fun-loving goof who wandered into a beach barbecue makes this excellent performance even better (and lots funnier).
Damn, that bassist is hardcore.
Yeah dude hes in the pocket bro. Insane. Wish i was that good with my bass.
Playing like this with such incredible ease and with a smile on his face, just having a blast. Wow.
Must have seen this video hundred of times ......but the kiddo lurking inside Nicko is a pure treat to watch everytime!! Everyone wants to play more notes but no one can feel drums like him! What a gem!
What a killer performance! The rhythm section was A+!
When you find out what makes you happy in life you end up like Nicko playing drums.
He drums with his whole body, even his face. Awesome.
Love this guy. He gives so much back to the drumming community and enjoys himself too!
Toda música para ele é uma festa 👏🏻👏🏻😅🙏🤘
One of the best feel drummers of all time. He plays what needs to be played...and then just a bit more..lol. One of my all time favorites.
This is Nickogasm... well someday this word is going to show up in dictionary...
Insane!!
I just love his facial expressions and how much fun he is having! Nicko still can play!!
I had no idea he was/is that good!!! Nicko is a badass!! His playing and sense of time keeping is spot on!!!
I need you to shake the camera just a bit more
I'll make sure to do so next time. Stay tuned for more shakery!
I had to stop watching after a few minutes....gettin kinda woozy.
Drunk? Epileptic? Parkinsons? Nervous geek?
@@MoltiSanti , I am staying tuned for your next shaky video cameras. And ,now I am gonna subscribe for your comment reply of this issue of shaking cameras. Lol.
@@MoltiSanti , how much is it for one canon powerShot SD 96OIS? So, shaky....type, hah?
that snare drum is fucking amazing
6:46 Nicko double pedal Rare moments.
Marco Martins You can see how much faster his right foot is
I've got the same problem. Luckily for what music I write, double bass isn't so important anyhow. 😋 Nicko's amazing with one foot, much like Bonham! :)
he says double bass is not Drummerish...dayuum
Always fun to look at nicko, he seems to be happy if he hits something,hahahaha
The bass tone reminds me of Billy Sheehan. Sounds incredible.
Nicko one of the coolest guys in Music! You can tell when he is having fun. Same with Janick and Bruce! You know when they are having a good show!!
Nicko killing it! Beast.
Nickooooo!!!!!
That bass as well 😍
i think nicko is not only my favorite drummer, but my favorite musician
It’s crazy how tiny regular drum kits look when you see monster mcbrain behind them lol
holy shit i have tears in my eyes watching this. Thank you for Rock'n Roll
The bassist actually played with Sabbath from 1985 to 1987 and played on the Seventh Star album.
Neil Murray?
@@EstepeLoboda Dave Spitz, Neil joined in 1989.
nicko is a maestro
O melhor vídeo de todos os tempos! Jamais vi uma pessoa se divertir tanto tocando maravilhosamente bem uma batera quanto esse!!!
Que Deus continue abençoando imensamente Micke!!!
Nicko ;)
He's the whole reason I play, and does a good job here, funny he was off on the first set of high-hat counts but he's aloud!! HA. Then again NO ONE will ever play it like Bill Ward in 1970...just a staggering mix of Jazz and Rock style drumming back then. Awesome!! Nicko does the McBrain version (style)
I could watch Nicko play all day long (he is awesome) !!!!
Niko playing Sabath. this jus blew my brain !
You're welcome. Thank you for the kind words. Being there and recording the vids was one of the best experiences in my life, honestly.
A legend playing the song of a legend.
Bass player is a beast as well, damn
This made my day! Nicko looks like he's having sooooo much fun hahaha
Nico puts on a great performance lots of energy when he plays👍 also an amazing drummer🤘
I just cant stop watching. The openess of just pure jamming....feeding on the energy!
Awesome!
I love his technique, so effortless
Nicko Mcbrain, Bill Ward and Dave Lombardo are the kings of fills
Bordin would kill ward on this track!
No he wouldn't. Bill Ward is the best drummer in the world.
and ian paice
blustulagu Bordin was the WORST drummer hired in Black sabbath, (and Cufletos)
Don't forget about Moon the loon. Although he pretty much just did fills all the time...haha
Artist and instrumentalist drummer humility, respectful for those who know less, participatory and share knowledge!
I'm an admirer and have my respect!
Sensacional obrigado por postar.
Maravilha.
What an energy!!!
Good vocalist..and Nicko expert drumming of course
As a bass player myself of 40 years,,, I say holy shitballs that is a beast of a bass player there, choppy licks my man, hats off to you sir, and Niko is my favorite drummer. Ive got a fever, and the only persciption, is more cow bell.
He laughed in beginning guitarists missed their chords, Niko is pure class act!
The gibberish lyrics on the second break down LOL. And I have never heard War Pigs with a cowbell. Awesome!
Nicko always singing the melody while he plays. great lesson there,. great playin. loved it.
This guy is always having fun;(
And kicking ass;)
Gonna have to give a listen to some of his iron work.
In my opinion he can keep regularly beats .The facts is that he does many backbeats that normally a drummer doesn't use also keeping the rhythm, it comes from his jazz past .
True
He plays ghost notes, because he tries to cover the second part of the origin Black Sabbath song, but it's not a perfect cover.
A cover is a cover, and some give their own twist to it, or can't play it perfectly. Of course Nicko could, someone from his level, but this was probably unprepared.
@@basb6230 yes! The bass player was guiding Nicko.
So weird to see Nikko behind such a small kit - cool to see him just jamming and having fun, which is what it's all about.
Having some fun, fucken legend, the band would still be talking bout it, what a cool thing for Nicko to do .
Nah. I was shaky and enjoying the music. First time I got to confront Nicko so I was quite starstruck that day.
doesn t matter bro, even if u shook it the sound remainded the same
Lol confront
@@stitcha123 In hindsight, "confront" wasn't proper word choice.
Very most simple drummer of all times in heavy metals. He's so jolly &, friendly to all his fans & others.
O melhor baterista da istoria ele e meu ispelho nicho eromeide...marcus baterista Petrópolis
WOW.....great bassplayer too.....thanx for share this pearl
Watching this always puts a smile on my face.
this man is a great drummer, amazing hands and liks, everything in place with a lot of musicality, amzing right foot, this man plays really good, the figures in the hats are really cool.
Im A Drummer, i dont brag but I respect other drummers, Niko I have a lot of respect. you are my motivation
Love Nicko! He obviously loves what he does as well as millions of others!!
EL MEJOR BATERISTA DE HEAVY METAL !!!
the blessure of playing!
My life will not be complete until I have made a pilgrimage to RnR Ribs!
Simplesmente o cara é demais!Valeu nicko!😀😃😎🤘🤘🤘
A pegada é sensacional! Impecável e preciso em todos os movimentos!
Just having a great time !
vids like this just reinforce how amazing a drummer he is !
1:26 your welcome.
Nicko plays with mega passion.
Love his facial expressions This dude really enjoys what he´s doing
Grandissimo Nicko , che suona i B. Sabbath !! Incredbile !!+++++
He's the PERFECT drummer.. His abilities are INCREDIBLE❤️
Sabbath is one of my all time faves. I'm a sonor drummer of 30 years experience and your age. We check out much of the same stuff ( Meytal, Maiden, and thumbs up on the Steve Gadd four sticks!). Keep drummin brah!
Nicko is a great
Probably its the only video around showing Nicko using double pedals
You're welcome, brother. It's so awesome that Nicko can do huge world tours where you can't even see him behind his cymbals & mounted-toms - and then he can show up to some BBQ on what looks to be some drum kit that isn't his and just completely kick ass... and it's so cool that a cat like you can be right there to catch it for us. It burns me the fuck up that some asshole[s] would have the nerve to whine about not having a fucking TRI-POD. Thanks again. :)
Probably the best style I've ever seen !
Monster Bass and Nicko!
I can see a number of comments for Nicko's "bad" drumming performance in this song and generally...but.. is there anyone of you playing better and made the ...half...at least of his life career ???anyone please?? SHOW SOME RESPECT YOU ALL TO THIS LIVE METAL HISTORY THAT STILL PLAYS WHILE LAUGHING, SO THAT YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHAT IS REAL MUSIC...RESPECT...IF YOU CAN NOT DO THAT JUST STFU AND LISTEN LADY GAGA...
Plus it's not the easiest song to play. The only person who can do it properly is Bill Ward.
cara acho que uma das melhores coisas em ver o Mr.Nicko tocar é essa essência que só ele tem, essa alegria, porra é demais, é muito gostoso de se ver.
MASTER.
McBain should have played in Black Sabbath's 2013 album! The young drummer who filles in there was good but had no groove.
Ahhhhh....good times! Nicko can be a real ham sometimes. You gotta love him.
love this man!!! great attitude!!
This was great! Thanks!
wow Mister Mcbrain amazing perfomance! congratulations bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a drummer! Simply amazing!
