message: Nicko's name is actually Michael McBain.  Because he was joining Iron Maiden at the recording of "Piece of Mind" they thought it would be fun to change his last name to McBrain.  It has since stuck. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pendragyn (talk • contribs).
:I was wondering if someone would bring that up. That was in just about every interview he did back around the Piece of Mind era. I tried to find a reference for it in an "archived interview" web source but haven't dug one up yet. 156.34.142.110 16:32, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: That's because it doesn't exist.  Some person or persons made it up and put the magazine's name on it. Several people have been fooled.  I suspect this because it tells classic rock fans what they want to hear.  Namely, that with one interloper, Peart, Bonham and Moon are the three best ever, and that almost all drummers that became popular before 1967 or are funk and soul drummers can be ignored.  Anyone who believes it is authentic should specify which issue of Rolling Stone it appeared in. 24.187.214.210 (talk) 16:27, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Nothing wrong with an American perspective, though in the case of the article (and to be pedantic) there’s a couple of small issues... firstly we don’t "graduate from school" in the UK. 
Of course we take exams, which help in life and generally are used to get into tertiary education like University or to gain employment, but there’s no “graduation”.    
That comes later at tertiary education like university. 
So we would say “after he left school” or something like that. We just leave. It’s quite odd for people in the UK to hear American people say "I didn't graduate from school so I went back to gain a certificate" or similar, as it's an alien concept to us. For example, in the UK one could get zero qualifications at school (for various reasons, socio-economic, for example), but still later go into tertiary education as a mature student and study for a degree.     
Secondly, nothing against McBrain, but Southgate Technical College doesn't really award "degrees". The engineering qualification he received was a no doubt a diploma of some sort. The college presently does a 2-year "foundation degree" in business management, but this "foundation degree" terminology wasn't around in the 70s. It's a relatively new thing, and is the equivalent to two-thirds of an honours bachelor's degree.     
 
A degree in the UK is really a three-year course, and it sounds like McBrain quite swiftly became a rock n roller, so one imagines he took an engineering diploma of some sort. Charliepenandink (talk) 15:58, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
