We remember even if we forget ?.


This year was weird for but really having a weird situation in this modern human society. (Regarding covid -19). All over the world, people had to stay at home. All those great opportunities were suddenly gone. Such as travel, work, concerts, holidays, restaurants, bars, churches, schools, airports, ports, bus, train stations, attractions, events, cinemas, football stadiums, borders, meeting together .... Easier said, All this has been cancelled, stopped, or closed. We all want like to forget about this horrible nightmare. And we never want to relive it again. (But we're never sure about that. But I hope it never reappears. Eddie is still working to get the virus to a big battle. We have to believe the virus seems to be leaving our world.)




The month of November was the right one to remember our loved ones. (I know I am doing my article quite late). There was (or is now) a lot of sadness in the world of Maiden.



Clive Burr
Ex - drummer of Iron Maiden ( Clive Burr )

Clive Burr as a drummer looks in some video is very energetic and very lively on the stage.


It was a young man and the wind in the group. As a drummer, he held the band and set the tempo.


If I to be honest. I saw the old team of Iron Maiden much later. (Steve Harris, Dave Murray, Paul Di´Anno, Doug Sampson,

Clive Burr).






I only saw this team. Which we know today (Steve Harris

Bruce Dickinson, Dave Murray, Janick Gers, Adrian Smith, Nicko McBrain.




Even though his destiny how was. This was so. Clive Burr deserves to be remembered as in good. Because he was part of the Iron Maiden.




If you want something about it more. So here is an article from another newspaper. I will not write or invent anything about his life and his end. Because it seems inappropriate and disrespectful to me. The only thing I could write. So I only wrote for good. So how could Clive Burr want to?.








Another person will be Paddy Bowden. The ex-wife of Bruce Dickinson. She left this year.



It is very difficult for me to find the right words. (If I don't know what I should write. Then I should be quiet. Right?, however? ).



Until I start writing it. I have to say I never shot her in person. I never even knew her. So I'll just be using it from my mind. But I think it was wrong to l her out of it



She was also part of the Iron Maiden. So, she was standing by the side of the singer. (Which we admire today and consider him an idol). She was an admiring woman. Great fighter in good, bad even in difficult times. She also had a kind heart.


She lived to the fullest. what she wanted to do and did. what she loved she really loved. She had a lot of strength, feeling, love and passion for everything. I can't write more about her.




So that I don't go too far. And I can't afford bad to honour her memory. This will be the best. That's all I could write about her.


So the homework now is to wish her family's sincere condolences. And let's try to thank her for being here. (Paddy, we thank you so much for being here you was).




I wrote it the way I thought I should have written it that way. If you are looking for articles on Paddy here. I am sorry. You won't find many articles here on my site. Because I'm not a journalist and I'm not a newspaper boulevard. If you are also looking this articles. The Internet is full of such articles.




Out of this person's respect, I can't write much and do it. And I respect that.

This man also left the Maiden´s world. We are talking about Martin Birch.



Martin Birch was a British music producer and sound engineer. He became famous for engineering and producing albums recorded mainly by British rock bands such as Deep Purple, other bands and of course with Iron Maiden too.



This man had a very good musical ear in him enough to become a producer. And he absolutely worked very well with the mixer.

At that time in Britain, Martin Birch was ready to take risks with those bands that he saw and believed to have great potential.





He never refused and was never afraid to get involved. He worked hard and led him to become a popular producer of all time in Britain.



Unequivocal, he not was didn't just silence all the time. He was the master of the mix. So he said his expert opinion. Or he said something. For example, to Bruce, maybe he said something like: Hey, that sounds good. But you should do it differently, a little more. Or add here and take your voice here. Or let's try these guitar sounds now. Great, let's move on .... No, no, no, stop. That's not it now. Well, I agree with this voice and the sound of music is great, we continue to work...



Maybe that's how she could work in a recording studio. Working with him must have been adventurous. But the result was always worth it. And he always knew how to appreciate if it was good or if it was in the shit. He was so good that he always required repetition, rehearsal, and rehearsal as long as it wasn't great. If it was good, he said something like: It's good, but it's not enough. I want it to be great.




Unfortunately, some artists today (young people) think that in the studio it is easy and fun. No, it's not like that. Working in a recording studio is always hard and hard. If they want to be in rock or in metal to be.



Others today do it quickly, few texts, (because in other genres artists do not want or not are able to learn many texts). Their music doesn't always sound not completed. Some lyrics are silly. But unfortunately, many new young fans today will buy such an album as well. Today, just one song is enough and the album is already for sale. But in the old days, the whole album had to fugue, all the songs and lyrics had to be great, and the sound had to complete it all. And in the end, the cassette case or CD case must have looked great, too. To make people want to buy. If not. Then no one wanted the album. As I said today, one bad music, bad lyrics, bad packaging and people will buy it today.



Really ?. I don't understand what happened. Today, young people do not know what good music is. And what happens if someone buys a bad album today? They will be good to listen to him. But later the album ends up somewhere forgotten and they never turn it on again. Or they throw it out, or they exchange the bad album among friends.



Even though I'm still young (I'm 28). But I still like the old things. I also love Deep Purple and other old things. :) And I never threw them away. (even though there is the internet now) but I can also listen to those old CD albums of the bands. I make you sure they are in a good place and incorruptibility. It's a big valuable thing for me.




These albums were made by Martin Birch:




1981 – Killers

1982 – The Number of the Beast

1983 – Piece of Mind

1984 – Powerslave

1985 – Live After Death

1986 – Somewhere in Time

1988 – Seventh Son of a Seventh Son

1990 – No Prayer for the Dying

1992 – Fear of the Dark

1994 – Maiden England '88





If you want to know what Iron Maiden members said about Martin Birch. So you can read a short statement on the official page.







Pete Way was a bass player from the band with a name: UFO. And he had a big impact on Steve Harris. He was also a part of Iron Maiden.

Maybe not everyone we did not know this man. But today is a good reason for memory.


Finally, let me answer the question. Why do we remember but forget too?.


We try to remember all the people we knew (for example, family, loved ones, friends, co-workers, and so on) ...


That it happens that sometimes we forget. It's that we have to live and work. It's as: "Be in the wrong is human." Or then this: "Thinking is human." There will also be something like that. But this it's different: "Forgetting is human."








Is that really so ?....



Well, you shouldn't forget the person you knew personally. If ever forgotten occasionally.

I mean it's to the mere degree it's not bad. But sometimes or sometimes it is very good to remember that person. Who was here in the world with you. And say, "Yes I try it and I will do it." Or this: " I will remember you."





Therefore, the title was again. He was as considered. Between memory and forgetfulness. Forgetting is as mistaken. But mistaken is human. Because we are not machines. Later it happens that memory ceases to serve us. Although we try to be careful. However, it is impossible not to run from forgotten gone. If it happens, then it really happens.
