Mollys Dad Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Burr Previously a member of Samson, Burr joined Iron Maiden in 1979. An acquaintance of then-Iron Maiden guitarist Dennis Stratton, Burr played on their first three records: Iron Maiden, Killers and their breakthrough release The Number of the Beast. Burr was fired from the band in 1982 during The Beast on the Road tour.[4] He was replaced by the band's current drummer, Nicko McBrain. Burr co-wrote one song on The Number of the Beast, "Gangland", and another song, "Total Eclipse", that was cut from the album and showed up as the b-side of the "Run to the Hills" single, and later on the Number Of The Beast remastered CD re-release. He was a part of a band that I (musically) grew up with during the 70s & 80s. Sadly missed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
