Clive Burr (Iron Maiden) RIP

Oy! Too many, too soon. RIP.

Those first two IRON MAIDEN albums are the most swinging albums of heavy metal history, I love him for it.

Well, in his case it is sad but it had to happen sooner or later

The poor guy had Multiple Sclerosis, so e would die in any moment.

He passed while sleeping

RIP

How sad! He was a fantastic drummer! RIP

RIP

Sad news.

I saw Maiden in 1980 on their first tour - they are the last survivors of the NWOBHM.

R.I.P. Clive Burr.

You saw them in 1980! they were intense back in those days... i guess they were mainly tourin' UK in 1980 ...

As Whitesnake and Judas Priest are sometimes associated to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene or at least they were their big brothers...both bands are very much alive ...and even if you don't count them as NWOBHM (it's optional) ...Saxon is really there... and releasing respectable albums... Def Leppard are not completely dead either...

But it's true that Maiden commercially lead the whole "NWOBHM Survivors" scene... but from my point of view... the modern Iron Maiden ...is not my cup of tea at all...it's mainly stuff for white teenagers obsessed by bloody computer games.

Clive Burr played in my fave Iron Maiden records, now the man is surely takin' some good time, who knows ?, maybe he is playin' djembe upon clouds by now...at last he is released of his painfull body...

Dapple the sun as they sway with each lazy breeze;
They'll set your mind at ease" ...

RIP Clive.

I was born in the land of Mahavishnu,not so far from Kobaia.I'm looking for the world

of searchers with the help from

crimson king

He was 56.

However, was he let go because he wanted to leave, or because of booze/drugs - I read he developed MS in the 1990's
