Clive or Nico?

[Wicked Child]

I prefer Clive, myself. I mean listen to Genghis Kahn!!!! The man is a drum god! Nico is very good, but IMO, Clive owns his ass.

 

[duckattack]

I agree. I've never liked the way Nicko plays a lot of Clive's stuff live, either.

 

[Sydo]

Stop living in the past guys!

 

[KleptomaN]

Yes! Embrace the present and future! Nevermind your personal opinion!

 

[duckattack]

Stop living in the past guys!

I can't!

 

[Nightwing]

Nicko for me, I mean Clive can't even play anymore.........

 

[Cortavenas]

Clive was way better

 

[Child Of Bodom]

Clive, all the way. Thicko hasn't Clive's Power and Feeling and he disguises that "simple" fact behind a so called, technique, which is nothing to be crazy about either.
Just listen the live versions of Phantom of the Opera and you'll see what I mean. Thicko's sound just lame and boring, on the other hand Clive sounds godly.



Hail Clive!

 

[Wicked Child]

Exactly. that's what Clive had and will always have over Nico: feeling. Listen to Genghis Kahn, Phantom Of The Opera, Run To The Hills, The Prisoner, among others, and it will jump right at you. He was also king of rhythm and could bend any beat, any rhythm and make it his own. Nico has some above average rhythmic abilities, overall, he misses something that Clive had.

 

[Child Of Bodom]

Run To The Hills.

Indeed, you can't beat that intro. Also the intro for Gangland is God.

 

[Iced In Flames]

Bjorn Gellotte is a much more refined and talented drummer.

 

[TP]

Nicko is a much better drummer.

 

[Sydo]

Nicko wasn't a drug-fucked wreck in 82.

 

[666]

Clive was an excellent drummer, Nicko is an excellent drummer.

 

[The Real Moonchild]

Clive was the king of intros!! i liked his loose technique way better than nobrain

 

[Profanity]

Clive was good but Nicko is Maiden, he innovated the Maiden drumming style.

 

[Sydo]

Clive was an excellent drummer, Nicko is an excellent drummer.

 

[Iron Maiden ROCKS!]

Meh ive always thought of nicko as tighter, but i guess clive suited the di'anno era stuff as at the time for example they never would have written a song like aces high back then cuz they were more of a pub band and not an epic album type band, clive wouldnt have suited later maiden in my opinion but hats off to him for being in iron maiden cuz i cant say i have been

 

[possessed]

Clive! Bruce said himself that Clive was the best drummer Maiden ever had in the "Run to the Hills" book.

So that's it then, the Clives have it. :Spin:

 

[666]

It's all good.
