He had a great run. 40+ years is a long career for a drummer.

He’s earned it. I saw him play with Maiden twice. He was rock solid. Nice run.

Rock on Nicko!

Dude is a beast.
The Iron Maiden cover of the Beckett song Rainbow's Gold really give the woofers a workout.

He's earned that retirement. He'll have plenty of time now to spend with his family, and take his daughter to the slaughter.

 

[Monson]

Yeah, that's quite a career.

Saw them 20(?) years ago. As expected, scattered fights broke out on the parking lots, before and after the show, when people brought their daughters to the slaughter and came to pick them up again. I have one particular vivid memory of a young man stomping on the hood of someone's mother's, car still in motion, and the lady immediately exiting the vehicle and pulling the imp away and straight to the ground, taking absolutely no prisoners in the process.

That sounds like quite the dangerous evening! I would definitely not want to bring my daughter to any such slaughter. But if there was another reunion tour then I might bring my niece to The Police.

Talking about reunions, I guess Mercyful Fate would be great for a first date.

Good option. Or you could bring your wife to The Knife.

Or take your pets to the Raveonettes!

Oh yes! Thinking about it, one should've brought 'em all to see the Fall.
