From the "Reality Overload" files comes this video of Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain playing The Beatles: Rock Band.
The 55-year-old drummer of the heavy metal band sits reclined in a couch to get his game on, gently tapping along on the drums to The Beatles' "Good Morning Good Morning." McBrain smiles as he plays, even at one point bursting into laughter. He really likes its, guys!
"That was miserable," he says at the end, speaking not of the game, but of his performance. He scores 81% on Easy. Ringo Starr is not amused.
In other news, McBrain can rock the sh*t out of some real drums, and you may or may not be able to play Iron Maiden songs on Rock Band drums at the Expert level. He'll always be a winner in my book.

Especially compared to the other huge egos in his band.
Nicko rocks. Big time.
I wonder if he'd be better off playing on Hard.
I actually find Easy pretty difficult because it feels nothing like playing the actual song.
And I totally love drumming to your songs on Expert, so thanks for being amazing even at the ripe age of 55.

I'm not sure if that's something to be proud of.
Ahh videogames.
I can't blame him for playing on Easy though. I play drums myself and I suck at RB drums on anything higher than Medium.
His usual setup for those unfamiliar with his drum set.

It's not, but I'm proud of you anyways.
No wait, Iron Maiden is amazing.
No joke.
<3 Maiden.
