Best metal drummer ever, bar none. He got a raw deal for sure, between being fired for questionable reasons right as Maiden were breaking big, to contracting a super-aggressive strain of MS. Even now in my mid 50’s, I still get amped up when I listen to those first three albums, and it’s mainly his drumming that does it to me. He was truly awesome. RIP
He definitely seems a good deal more soft-spoken and shy here from any of the other interviews I’ve seen him in. I don’t know the exact date when this originally aired, but I’m guessing he had just joined Maiden, fresh out of Samson. Nothing is mentioned here about Number Of The Beast. I wonder if they had begun recording it yet?
Nice to hear from Clive. Not a lot of interview footage with him exists. Probably the greatest drummer of the entire NWOBHM. Too bad he didn’t stay on.
I thought someone was going to mention the kid to the left. Started to hang and say something to Eddie, around @ 3:35 and quickly regret being there at all. 😃
@William HELLHASEYIS No. It was Smallwood, because they hadn't started to have issues with Clive yet at this point, so Nicko hadn't started being with the band yet. He started hanging out with them later.
I just can't stop coming back here over and over again and see how absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bruce looked here! For some people cocaine, heroin, marijuana and shit like that is their drug. But Bruce is my drug! I can't get enough of him! 🥰😍😘❤❤❤
I only now realise why he was called "Eddie the head" xD I know that the initial "h" is droped in cockney accent, but I never put 2 and 2 together and actually pronounced it "eddy the 'ead" 😂
Bet Steve feels like a real ass today thinking back asking his mate and great humble man Clive to leave just because he wanted some time away to be with his family because his dad passed away
And yet the vast majority of Maiden fans *STILL* don’t know the real story behind that. I still hear and read all the time from people how they think Clive was fired for booze/drugs overindulgence. It’s very sad to me that over 40 years later people are still buying into that crap. It’s disrespectful to Clive’s memory and the air needs to at last be cleared once and for all. Clive was an amazing drummer and a seemingly really nice bloke. I have nothing against Nicko, and he’s also an amazing drummer (but Clive was better), but it should have been Clive on all those big successful 80’s albums and tours. He was fired just as they were starting to get huge. Most unfortunate timing possible. He was robbed, and subsequently so were we.
@@m42037 Actually I think it was. I don’t remember if it was something that I read, or an interview I saw online, or something else… but I seem to recall Bruce mentioning “differences with a certain other band member” factoring into his leaving the band. I wish I could specifically remember where I learned that, but these days I’m lucky if I remember to have all my clothes on when I leave the house. I do remember learning somewhere that there was friction between Bruce and Steve.
Watch the interview with Clive and Bruce big mouth. Bruce said himself he didn't like the way the Clive thing went down. You people that disrespect the late Clive probably weren't even born back then, just groupie type wanna bes. Clive never missed a beat or his timing I'm 58 and was around then and I been playing drums since the mid 80s. NEVER had I heard Clive Fk up live, and I've heard boots and Number live and killer's live never did he even make a mistake!!
You say “stop spreading lies” as if you’re such an authority on this particular subject that one could be led to believe that you were actually in the room when Clive was fired… except that I’m guessing that you probably weren’t even born yet, much less physically present to witness it. I guess I’d just like to know what makes you such an authority on this matter? Like I said, you command to “stop spreading lies” as if your word is the final word on all this. I’m of the same opinion as the person who left the last response. Were you even born yet when Clive was sacked? I’m guessing you probably weren’t.
@@spednut.1 I know it was 2 years ago. But once I answered a comment, from 10 years ago, who still hadn't got an answer to his/her question and was glad, when I could give him/her an answer to the question. So I figured I'd give you the answer to your question, in case you hadn't found an answer yet. Just wanted to help out, that's all. 🙂
He certainly was a fantastic drummer, unfortunately do to greed and no ethics Steve asked him to walk away just because the man wanted time away when his father died. Clive was also very humble like Randy Rhoads sad
I can certainly see a few similarities between the two. Namely the fact that both were cut off right at a time when they were just beginning to taste sweet success. Obviously it was for two completely different reasons, but both were equally tragic in their own way. From all accounts they were both quiet, humble guys who possessed a massive surplus of talent with their chosen instruments. Unfortunately Clive hasn’t been as revered as Randy has been, but the evidence is in the recordings he made. Clive was easily one of the top 3 greatest metal drummers of all time, along with Ian Paice (Clive’s #1 hero) and Bonham.
Bruce, Clive and Steve were just beautiful in their prime.
Gaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, Not were not Beautiful!! They were Gorgeous Delicious, and Mostly Hot Bruce
Wow! Bruce looks so adorable and cute in this clip. 🥰
@Samson 92 😁👍
Groupies lol
miss u clive, u were the best and will always be ❤

Bruce Dickinson is so cute, adorable and beautiful here! 🥰😍❤ I wish he could have stayed like this forever! 😊

@@Shikta-poobah67 That episode was aired in Mar 6, 1982. Number of the beast album was released on March 22, 1982, just a couple of weeks after
This is an awesome time capsule piece!
All the children in that classroom grew up to be awesome rockers later in life.
Or eaten by Eddie...
All 3 of them were so cute, and talented!
Clive Burr ….best drummer in Maidens history.
That's what Bruce said in one of his later interviews, after he wasn't afraid of Steve anymore
Agreed
Yeah I really like Burr’s drumming. Much preferable to my ear
Final album for Clive it was, sadly.
Yeah, he really got screwed bad. He didn’t deserve any of that. It was unbelievably messed up the way it was handled.
Nice to hear from Clive. Not a lot of interview footage with him exists. Probably the greatest drummer of the entire NWOBHM. Too bad he didn’t stay on.
You can thank Steve Harris for that!
@@m42037 Yeah, that was a real shit move. All because he wanted to attend his father's funeral. Steve could be a real wanker sometimes.
@@Shikta-poobah67 Oh you know the story too? Not many people do. .
He really was special.
I heard Clive had serious health problems (MS)
Bruce how cute he was 💗
Yeah. Bruce was beautiful here. ❤
Imagine winning that jacket
Am I the only one, who started laughing, when Eddie kicked Bruce in the back, in the clip at 3:24? 🤣
I wonder if its Smallwood or a tourmanager?
@@wingsken It's probably Rod Smallwood. 😂
I thought someone was going to mention the kid to the left. Started to hang and say something to Eddie, around @ 3:35 and quickly regret being there at all. 😃
@@Doorsofprcptn That was funny as well. Poor kid! 😂

Get a life
Very interesting 😀
Aww Bruce looks so cute!

@@jantikochannel4572 no dude. Im still confused!

heavy metallic 😁😁
Clive was so adorable 😭 RIP Clive...
Also those kids were so lucky!!
They definitely had the 80s metal look
Babies 🥰🥰🥰
Sadly missed Clive x
I know the answer I know the answer haaa
I hope this metallic school band Eerie Malden or something will make it one day.
I always wanted to be interviewed by Sally!! ❤️💯
I bet that most probably Rod Smallwood is under that Eddie mask :) and probably Bruce Dickinson said something annoying to him at some point :p
Could be. I started laughing, when he kicked Bruce in his back. 🤣
Lol 3:24
I only now realise why he was called "Eddie the head" xD I know that the initial "h" is droped in cockney accent, but I never put 2 and 2 together and actually pronounced it "eddy the 'ead" 😂
Steve looks so young and cute here! 😍
IRON MAIDEN in British children's show. 🤘👦
While American parents forbid their kids to listen to IRON MAIDEN & wetting their pants on satanism. 😂
Who is dressed like Eddie behind Bruce?😂
I have no idea 😂
Could be Rod Smallwood. He used to dress up as Eddie, during concerts, in the early days.
Bet Steve feels like a real ass today thinking back asking his mate and great humble man Clive to leave just because he wanted some time away to be with his family because his dad passed away

@@Shikta-poobah67 And remember Bruce left the band a decade later, lol I'm willing to bet it was because of Steve.. again!

Yo how is that there real voice and in there songs they sound like they are from the United States
they're evidently British :D
ROUGE POTATO - What?! Their songs don't sound like they are from America, to me.
Because everyone sings with an american accent, when they sing. It's always been like that.

Ok
these guys alway wore the worst clothes
Not really. I've seen others, who have been wearing worse clothes than them.
Ever seen the album cover for “Sabotage”? (Black Sabbath) Both sides.
Clive reminds me of Randy Rhoads here for some reason...
He certainly was a fantastic drummer, unfortunately do to greed and no ethics Steve asked him to walk away just because the man wanted time away when his father died. Clive was also very humble like Randy Rhoads sad
