3. The IRON MAIDEN Family Tree: Clive Burr
2nd drummer for IRON MAIDEN (Jan 1980 - Dec 1982). Recorded on
all that Dennis Stratton recorded with the band, KILLERS album, "Maiden
Japan" EP, and THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST album.
OTHER WORKS:
SAMSON (Early 1978 - 1979) - original drummer, played on first NWOBHM
single ever "Mr. Rock N Roll" with Chris Aylmer on bass and Paul
Samson on guitars and vocals.
CLIVE BURR'S ESCAPE (1983?) - Recorded a session for Radio 1 on the BBC
in the UK. Anyone know anthing else about this one?
STRATUS (1985) - With Tino and Chris Troy. Recorded "Throwing Shapes"
on Steel Trax (Steel 31001), produced by Norman Goodman.
TYGON (formely STRATUS) - The brief name change to TYGON was abandoned
after a little while, 'cos they found several other things with that
name.
PRAYING MANTIS (?) - one of their many drummers in their history.
Recorded "The Soundhouse Tapes Part II," and "Captured City" on
METAL FOR MUTHAS compilation. Was very good friend of next PRAYING
MANTIS drummer Dave Potts.
TRUST (1983? - ?) - replaced Nicko McBrain as a session drummer for
the album "Trust" (1982). This is not to be confused with their 1979
debut album, which is also called "Trust". TRUST is regarded by many
to be the greatest French heavy metal band ever.
GOGMAGOG (Jun 1985 - ?) - drummer on "I Will Be There" EP. That is all
the band recorded.
DESPERADOS (?) - formed by Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister fame. Recorded
an album but it was never released. None of the members have legal
access to any material on the album.
ELIXIR (?) - drummer on second album LETHAL POTION. As far as I know
he's still in ELIXIR.
TRUE BRITS (1992) - Releasd an album READY TO RUMBLE in 1992 with Lea
Hart (Vocals, Guitar), Dave Senczak (Guitar), Dennis Stratton
(Vocals, Guitar), and Mel Gagbbltas (Bass). This might not actually
be a band. I think they (Clive, Dennis, etc.) just joined the album
of Lea Hart (ex-FASTWAY). There are many (36) names of special
guests on this album, for example, Scott Gorham, Neil Murray, Paul
Di'Anno, Eddie Clarke, Paul Samson, Gary Barden, Tino Troy, etc.
