A great drummer from one of my favorite bands. Saw them live in 2012; it was one of those tours where they only played their older material. The newest songs in the set were from Fear Of The Dark (1992) - which meant that with their then-current lineup, no more than five of the six people on stage appeared on the studio recordings.

And as mentioned further up this thread, their lyrics are deeper than those of most other metal bands.

On God (you know...the impetus for the thread...) I recall reading years ago that Nicko and former Anthrax guitarist Dan Spitz were both born again around the same time and did some collaboration. Dan is now a master watch maker - I caught Anthrax in 1987 and it was one of the top 5 gigs I ever saw.

While I'm on the subject, my favorite "born again" musician is Bobby Steele, leader of the Undead and ex-Misfits guitarist (from when they were good). He used to run a Friday evening live showcase at an evangelical church in North Jersey.

Here is Bobby with a Chris Christie shirt saying "My Governor Can Eat Your Governor." Still punk, and still Christian.
