Former Iron Maiden drummer Clive Burr has died following a lengthy battle with multiple sclerosis at the age of 56.

An official statement on the band’s website reads, “We are deeply saddened to report that Clive Burr passed away last night. He had suffered poor health for many years after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and died peacefully in his sleep at home.”

Steve Harris commented, “This is terribly sad news. Clive was a very old friend of all of us. He was a wonderful person and an amazing drummer who made a valuable contribution to Maiden in the early days when we were starting out. This is a sad day for everyone in the band and those around him and our thoughts and condolences are with his partner Mimi and family at this time.”

Bruce Dickinson said of the news, “I first met Clive when he was leaving Samson and joining Iron Maiden. He was a great guy and a man who really lived his life to the full. Even during the darkest days of his M.S., Clive never lost his sense of humour or irreverence. This is a terribly sad day and all our thoughts

Year of the Goat new video

Just checking out Year of the Goat…I really like this song. It’s the standard occult/metal band but without all that screaming emo vocals. It reminds me one of those typical B Occult movies from the 60’s that had Anton Levay in it. You know, some what dark, some what campy and some boobs in it to boot!

As far as the recording I am impressed they used very little distortion on the rhythm guitar and the verse riff sounds a lot like “Don’t fear the Reaper”. Maybe they are tipping their hat to Blue Oyster Cult?

Great song. cool video. Here it is.

Head’s up, If you are offended by boobies you might be gay!…(joking)
