Former Iron Maiden drummer passes away.

He played drums on the first three Iron Maiden albums.
I've always preferred his style of drumming over Nicko Mc Brain's drumming.


RIP Clive Burr

He had MS, right? Poor guy.

I preferred his - very lively - drumming too, not that Iron Maiden ever appealed much to me, their songwrting is too samey. He was in the drumming department to Iron Maiden what Cliff Williams was in bass playing to early Metallica. Nicko, a lovely guy and reliable drummer, is Jason Newsted in those terms.
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

I know, I always get that wrong, you know who I mean, the guy with the Ric, the flared jeans, a mudbucker and bad luck with busses.

Wow... rip
only saw them really early - Den Stratton was still in the lineup... (used to see him in a band called RDB pre Maiden)
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...
