Murders In The Rue Morgue Drum Cover (Nicko's Version) Iron Maiden Live 2005

Ullevi '05 is one of my favorite Maiden performances, and I love the way Nicko approaches this song in particular. The upbeats on the hi-hat in the chorus, the driving ride cymbal in the verse, and his reinterpretation of Clive's fills give it such a unique, groovy feel that makes it a blast to play! It's also got that trademark Maiden live "looseness" in the tempo that makes it a bit of a challenge to play along to and gives the song a great, "ragged edge" kinda vibe!

Yeah, this take ain't note-for-note perfect, but I had a blast playing it and that's all that matters.
