IRON MAIDEN drummer
Nicko McBrain joined the New York-based band
VOICES OF EXTREME (
V.O.X.) for a rendition of the
MAIDEN classic
"The Trooper" during their August 13 appearance at the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, MA for the
Locobazooka! United We Rock Festival. Check out pictures by

McBrain — who is
VOICES OF EXTREME's co-manager — previously told the
Sentinel & Enterprise about the group. "They're just a really strong rock band. They've got great music and great stage presence."
McBrain, who has drummed for
IRON MAIDEN since 1983, said that although the music is not identical to his work with the English band, fans will find many of the same traits in
V.O.X. that helped
IRON MAIDEN sell more than 70 million records worldwide.
"They're like [
IRON MAIDEN] in the attitude that they take to their music and to their fans,"
McBrain told the
Sentinel & Enterprise. "The music isn't the same style as
MAIDEN, although it has a hard edge to it and a lot of progressive stuff."
