he played this song the wors way ever. listen how to play it clive. mc braien when he is playing songs didnt go forward didnt kick you.and as time pass he play worse and worse
Agree, I have never wanted IM to become a jazz band. Clive was like locomotive =straight, striking and unstopable. He was so metal, not bluesy and jazzy like Nicko, who adds milions of ghost notes but on the other hand lacks a lot of important notes in fills, mostly last few notes of fills and put a couple of kick drum notes instead.
This guy used to live across the street from me in West Boca Raton FL. I used to see him in the Winn Dixie Grocery and nobody knew who he was………except me!
YES!! I'm so happy you hear this. Nicko has, in the drumming world a, " VERY DEEP POCKET' . It is much more important to be a deep pocket drummer than a flashy drummer and Nicko very tastefully exhibits both here. Very good ear.
Love this guy..his mumbling and yelling...brilliant...i did that to ,when played drums in my old band...Nicko rules..he is the one getting me drumming.Bless him.
I just love the way he lets the songs and the riffs breathe by not over playing the bass drum, metal bands today are playing too much double bass like it’s a sport or something?
Dude He can't over play the bass drum as he has just one which is an exception in the whole metal. In my opinion he over plays in this song. All the ghost notes and shortened or re-improvised fills - what is the reason for that?? I can't see any.
@@martinblackwhite if you want to listen to boring and basic drums go listen to Metallica. No reason for ghost notes he says, lmao'd hard at that. He doesn't even use that many ghost notes, wait until you find out about Opeth's album Watershed.
The fact this is live is amazing.. can hear him making all his noises as well. Amazing. What a drummer. Listen to his grooves. They are unreal. 3:23 that fill was golden, especially the open close hi hatt. Perfection
Clive is great playing lock-step with Steve but damn Nicko is killing it back there! His rhythm and groove really drive these songs. Thanks for sharing. Kudos to Nicko!
Thank you SO MUCH for putting this out! There’s a literal goldmine of info in there. Helped me realise in greater detail what is it that I love in his drumming. A lot of his placement and patterns remind me of Bonham’s.
Nicko is the drummer that made me wanna pick up the sticks.. piece of mind was the album.. where eagles dare drum intro did it for me man.. i was hooked.. thanks Nicko!! 🤘😈🤘
This is a master class in technique and groove. Clive’s version is great but nothing compared to this. Clive had a very basic straight forward style, the way Nicko places all the nuances in the groove was way beyond anything Clive ever did…in saying this is not to insult Clive’s playing either.
Nico overplays the WHOLE song. I MUCH prefer how Clive did it. I have mad respect for Nico’s work and what he’s done for the band, but there’re many cases where Clive’s approach fit better. I feel he tried to serve the song and not do as much as he can all the time.
@@alexandernilssonmusic I would agree that Clive’s approach suited the more raw energy of the earlier albums but I think for a composition like this a more considered approach seems appropriate. I don’t find it overly busy. I like how he really lays distinct grooves for each part of the song that ultimately flow beautifully. That is one of the things I love about Nicko is he doesn’t overplay anything, he is always in a pocket. Again, I love Clive too but Nicko has a sophistication that Clive never had. We are splitting hairs here which is only indicative of how much we love this band…the greatest band on earth!
I think what's phenomenal about it is that Nicko only uses one bass pedal. It's very impressive. I've been trying to do that for years... If you have two pedals...then you use them too... Actually, he just needs to work on his vocals a bit...
I wonder how is his ride technique called. He does not play the ride body itself the whole time, some hits are more pronounced, but he does not hit only the bell either. It is something in between and that is the sound I like the most. But I can't achieve it neither on my e-drums nor on my midi drums with a drum plugin.
Hey , He switches from the tip of the stick to shoulder of the stick👍👍👍 When he plays the ride with the tip , it's a ping type sound, with the shoulder its a bigger type sound..👍👍🥁🥁🥁
One thing you have to factor in with his ride cymbal.. because it’s so close to his toms he has it literally drilled into the stand so it doesn’t move and inch when he’s playing it, otherwise it would be clapping against the rims of his toms and sound terrible. Because of this it chokes a lot of the sound so even when he’s hitting the main body of the cymbal it has a slight bell like sound to it. It’s an explosive ride! I’ve owned one since I was 12 and for rock/metal I’ll never use a different cymbal, it’s the ultimate ride imho. The body is so explosive and the bell cuts like a warm knife through butter
I love his jazzy and groovy style of playing, he bring so much dynamism to the song compared to the straight-fowardness of Clive. May Clive Burr rest in peace, he was a great drummer and his style was good for his time, but now it would be too old school.
Both great imho, Clive got me in to iron maiden and niko kept me there. Especially with the old vinyl records where he would record stories about the band on the B side. Probably before you’re time though :)
Awful. Hallowed Be Thy Name is one of the songs that Nicko plays worst. He totally destroys the original rhythm turning it into an ultras march for football stadiums.
One of the best drummers of all time.
he played this song the wors way ever. listen how to play it clive. mc braien when he is playing songs didnt go forward didnt kick you.and as time pass he play worse and worse

@@martinblackwhite I’m agree with you with 100%
So much personality on his playing
Not Even close to be the best Drummer of all time.
I can just hear him yelling like nuts lol
This is why drumming is one of the best stress realises :) you can scream as much as you want nobody can here you :)
He’s does that to keep his place in the song
6:58
It’s like karate when they yell as they chop through a block of wood! Delivers that extra punch to the toms and snare!
I love his singing 🤘🤘🤘
I noticed that too! Probably picked up from his drum mikes. Loved it.
This guy used to live across the street from me in West Boca Raton FL. I used to see him in the Winn Dixie Grocery and nobody knew who he was………except me!
Damn... isolated like this can hear so much groove
YES!! I'm so happy you hear this. Nicko has, in the drumming world a, " VERY DEEP POCKET' . It is much more important to be a deep pocket drummer than a flashy drummer and Nicko very tastefully exhibits both here. Very good ear.
I think someone else is playing this at home and editing it into the video.
One if the last old school drummers
Is the snare tuned perfect for this song or what? Right in tune with the vocal and guitar during that chorus part. Drum tech needs a raise!
To be fair most if not all maiden songs are in E lol
Love this guy..his mumbling and yelling...brilliant...i did that to ,when played drums in my old band...Nicko rules..he is the one getting me drumming.Bless him.
Clive Burr played this song perfect, but Nicko is another level of groove.
Yeah. Clive had an intangible feel though. He hit hard without trying to wow. He just was. And that's why the studio version just is.
Il take Clive burr, all day and every day. And that’s from a drummer of over 30 years.
I was given this thought and you guys put it very well rest easy Clive Burr✌🏻😭
Yep, I prefere the grooviness of Nicko over the staticity of Clive. Clive was great but nothing compared to Nicko
Nicko overplays, Clive was in the pocket.
I just love the way he lets the songs and the riffs breathe by not over playing the bass drum, metal bands today are playing too much double bass like it’s a sport or something?
💯👌🤟
Indeed! As there are a lot of unimportant notes they are want to play...but there are only important notes you HAVE TO play😉👍
You should only play what the song demands.
Dude He can't over play the bass drum as he has just one which is an exception in the whole metal.
In my opinion he over plays in this song. All the ghost notes and shortened or re-improvised fills - what is the reason for that?? I can't see any.

Would love to hear Clive’s original version isolated like this.
Do not want that.. You would be hit and punched from your chair very quickly..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICO TO YOUR 70 🎂🎂 ! UP THE IRONS 🤘🤘
Nicko is my hero!!!
Love how he sings and talks to himself when he's playing 😂
Nicko is the most underrated drummer . He is so powerful ..
He’s not unrated at all! I don’t know why people think that?!
Reminder: Single pedal bass drum
The fact this is live is amazing.. can hear him making all his noises as well. Amazing. What a drummer. Listen to his grooves. They are unreal. 3:23 that fill was golden, especially the open close hi hatt. Perfection
But nicko jas no groove at all
@@marekloza7113 Remind me who you are.?i know who Nicko is🤷♂️
@@marekloza7113 and 3,2,1, you're back in the room. 🤡
That fill at 6:12 was a thing of beauty as well.
@@datalondojones7969 Agree! but slightly easier to play than the one mentioned above.
Clive is great playing lock-step with Steve but damn Nicko is killing it back there! His rhythm and groove really drive these songs. Thanks for sharing. Kudos to Nicko!
I love his singing along/shouts being picked up by the drum mics. Nicko is always up there singing along, we just usually can't hear it.
Loved seeing him at Royal Albert Hall with the Marines in London.. almost didnt go.. was in hospital 3 days later for a cancer operation!
NOW I can hear details, I never heard before the almost thousand times I heard this Song. My absolut favorit of all time of all maiden Songs!
Thank you SO MUCH for putting this out! There’s a literal goldmine of info in there. Helped me realise in greater detail what is it that I love in his drumming. A lot of his placement and patterns remind me of Bonham’s.
I listen to this so often.....its just a work of art on its own. 😚👌
Nicko is the drummer that made me wanna pick up the sticks.. piece of mind was the album.. where eagles dare drum intro did it for me man.. i was hooked.. thanks Nicko!! 🤘😈🤘
Hearing Nicko yelling all the way through is hilarious. The man is nuts!
and all that with just one bass drum... Nicko has a magic foot
He is one of my top 3 .love Nicko. Much love to you and your families. Brandi Modrak 💕💕

very very
wrong
Can't agree more. Clive paved the road, but Nicko turned it into a highway
Nico overplays the WHOLE song. I MUCH prefer how Clive did it. I have mad respect for Nico’s work and what he’s done for the band, but there’re many cases where Clive’s approach fit better. I feel he tried to serve the song and not do as much as he can all the time.

What a revelation (no pun intended) this is. I didn’t realize Nicko was playing ghost notes throughout the backbeat. Truly an amazing performance.
I never realized how f’in busy he is back there. This is awesome! Thanks!
This sounds so good. Relaxing really. Could listen to this all day.
I have a new respect for Nicko now that I hear more clearly what he's doing.
One of my favorite songs to cover on drums.
I think what's phenomenal about it is that Nicko only uses one bass pedal. It's very impressive. I've been trying to do that for years... If you have two pedals...then you use them too... Actually, he just needs to work on his vocals a bit...
One pedal is the sign of a very talented drummer. You can still play double notes, even triple notes, you just have to be very good.
Fantastic drummer
Um dos melhores bateristas de todos os tempos!
FOOOODAAAAAA! Maluco é um relógio da porra
About the only drummer I’m aware of that doesn’t use double kickers,single pedal only,pure talent🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
In his 70's and still king of the single foot triplets! Long live the King.
Thats why Iron Maiden cover's are the hardest to be done.
It’s his ride cymbal work that’s the hardest to replicate.
@@niblet112 and the perfect timing
oh yeah
Absolutely fantastic! Nicko turned this song into something magical!
i canr ear him yelling screaming and singing 😄
THIS IS A CLIVE BURR JOB !
These was the prime of Nicko For me 💓
Like machine :O

It is something in between and that is the sound I like the most. But I can't achieve it neither on my e-drums nor on my midi drums with a drum plugin.
It's like he is varying the strenght between beats.
Hey ,
He switches from the tip of the stick to shoulder of the stick👍👍👍
When he plays the ride with the tip , it's a ping type sound, with the shoulder its a bigger type sound..👍👍🥁🥁🥁
@@daved4716 also where he hits the ride too affects the sound. 👍🏻
Also the bass drum plays a big roll. Double bass slot during the ride
One thing you have to factor in with his ride cymbal.. because it’s so close to his toms he has it literally drilled into the stand so it doesn’t move and inch when he’s playing it, otherwise it would be clapping against the rims of his toms and sound terrible.

Clive Burr was the original drummer of this song love Nicko
It's amazing song!
I love his jazzy and groovy style of playing, he bring so much dynamism to the song compared to the straight-fowardness of Clive. May Clive Burr rest in peace, he was a great drummer and his style was good for his time, but now it would be too old school.
Agree 100%
Mi idolo🔥
The last 40 sec are missing. Drums mute.
Beautiful❤
I still love Clive Burr's original version over Nicko McBrain's cover version.
Ta ai a razao pq cover de Iron Maiden é o mais foda de se fazer....
Sim... deles e do Dream Theater ...
Yes....most complicated than i think
He’s not playing his usual kit. I think this is from his restaurant?!
O cara é fera muito louco.
Так криво, но так вкусно 🤩
he does all this with one bass drum pedal
Toca muito
5:06 sounds like double bass
5:27 is a great triplet on the bass too
Is it just me or are the toms sounding a lot different than normal. The way they are tuned
Top
2Ghost notes deluxe !
✔
Nicko allover the shop mcbrain lol
How this is done? Or is it even real?
Everything is seperately mic’d and later mixed for the live version, they still had the individual tracks.
😅you can hear him shouting out his drum parts 😅
FODAAA
TU NOMBRE SANTIFICADO
People still say Clive's version is better...
not bad 4 a rookie,lol.
75 toms and yet only 1 bass drum pedal...
and he plays the same beat over 30 years hahahaha
@@Musikmusikmusikhohoho hehehe huhuhu
I always preferred Nicko to Clive on this
I do realize that McBrain is an awesome drummer but Clive Burr’s drumming for this song is best. McBrain is playing it too fast.
Nope
Yaaaaaaaawwwwn
I couldn't agree with you more!
Both great imho, Clive got me in to iron maiden and niko kept me there. Especially with the old vinyl records where he would record stories about the band on the B side. Probably before you’re time though :)
I totally agree.
Clive était meilleur ce morceau lui appartient à jamais 🤘🤘🤘
The sound, great.....the video stinks.
Nope.
he doesn't play it like Clive at all. way too busy, it loses the groove and feel. it's not supposed to be frantic like this.
Clive Burr is dead. So.....
@@patton303 so 'what'?! I didn't say they should get him back.
i prefer clives drumming
Clive’s version is way better
You can't deny that some of Nicko's fills are sexy AF though. Ghost notes everywhere
how destroy a song hahaha
Hahaha hohoho hihihi
If only he kept the pace. His drumming style is great, but the constant swaying is not very nice
Too fast!
Awful. Hallowed Be Thy Name is one of the songs that Nicko plays worst. He totally destroys the original rhythm turning it into an ultras march for football stadiums.
He is a monster on drums🤪
I like the isolating track.
If you're going to make videos like this, at least sync them up right. 😊
