I hope he didn't really say that. If he did he is fuckin pathetic. The Iron Maidens honestly are one of the greatests bands I have ever seen live. When I close my eyes at a Maidens show I honestly can't tell that I am not at a real Iron Maiden show.
Agree with you there and kudos for sticking up for the Maidens on that thread ironmaidenfan09.
I would think Nicko has more class than to openly slam his best tribute band... especially while wearing their shirt... it doesn't make sense.
Reading alleged Nicko comments out of context on a message board-- who knows what really happened???? Maybe Nicko's worried that a female tribute drummer has more skills than he does!
Note that the "interviewer" was just going on his own memory of the alleged conversation (it wasn't recorded), and said at the beginning that:
"By the way these aren't word for word quotes." (before going on to quote Nicko in the rest of the post!)
But I don't think Nicko meant to be hurtful. In case you missed it, in a reply on page 7 of the thread the "interviewer" said Nicko was joking about it:

The guy was obviously joking. Calm down. If he didn't like them, he wouldn't be wearing their T-shirt.
Yes he was saying it in a joking manner. Some guy next to me asked him about them and their drummer

OK, I've said enough about this. In the end, who cares? Anyone that has seen the Maidens and Linda know that they ROCK!!!
Up the Iron Maidens!
