    I'm not sure what "blue pill" you are talking about. I do know that I could play 4 sets like I did 30-40 years ago and not break a sweat.

    Nicko's just been honest and realistic, the rigours of Touring with such a huge band must be difficult. Fantastic drummer mind.

    Have loved Nicko since I heard him play with Pat Travers. And he helped Maiden become huge. And who doesn't love looking at that beautiful giant drum kit he plays!!!
