Secret recording by Bruce Dickinson, after one of the shows on the World Piece Tour.
During the show, Nicko was playing his drum solo. While he was doing that, Steve had some problems with his bass guitar. He sent the first guy who he saw to tell Nicko that he should extend his drum solo.
The guy went to Nicko, but since he didn’t know how to properly communicate with Nicko while he was playing, Nicko got confused and messed up his solo. He got angered by it, and he punched the guy after the show. Steve didn’t like that, so they had an argument about it. When it had calmed down, Bruce walked in to ask what happened, and secretly recorded it. In the end, Steve is on to Bruce and says the immortal words “some cunt’s recording this”.

due to nda’s (im a stagetech, do the math) im not allowed to be precise but this is business as usual when it comes band politics. the guys seemed actually quite civil on this, if it’d have been a pop band, there would’ve been an instant catfight or something like that. its either tourmanager who’s a or the band members. heh, and i love my profession XD

What about “steer” the solo in another direction as in play 1/4 notes on the bass drum so you can hear the guy, then go back to the solo..I love Iron Maiden and Nikos drumming in it but an improvising drummer would of been able to make the adjustment..I’m not saying he doesn’t improvise at all but he isn’t really an improvising player..

No he’s not. He wasn’t out of order. Nicko said himself that the guy wasn’t out of order. He was just upset because there’s a few thousand fans out there, and his drum solo was messed up. The man did everything he was asked to do.
