McCartney Times

Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain made emotional comments while paying his tribute to The Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts and Slipknot legend Joey Jordison.

As you remember, Charlie Watts has passed away last week, on August 24, 2021. He was 80, and no cause of death was revealed yet. Alongside Watts, legendary Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison has found dead at his home on July 26, 2021,  by his ex-girlfriend. He was 46.

In a new interview with Talkin’ Rock With Meltdown, the drummer has paid his tribute to the world-known drummers – Charlie Watts and Joey Jordison. At first, the interviewer asked him that if Watts influenced his playing. He said he was his inspiration.

“Oh, absolutely,” he says. “Charlie was such a phenomenal timekeeper – a great player. There’s a saying – I’ve said it a couple of times before – it’s not about the notes; it’s about the space in between, in taking the music generality of it.

“And that’s what Charlie did – he had this incredible feel on the backside of the groove.

“When I started playing, it was Ringo [Starr] and Charlie – literally Ringo and Charlie were the two influences that I learned from, that I based my style of playing at that time on.
