Iron Maiden - Adrian Smith Interview Disc flac album

When Iron Maiden hit the road in February 2016, the band stopped in Las Vegas as it began touring behind epic double album The Book of Souls. Since those initial . dates, Maiden has visited more than 34 countries, playing its first-ever shows in El Salvador, Lithuania and China.

This Iron Maiden feature is from the November 1983 issue of Guitar World magazine. The story by Tim Bradley recounts the history of the band through 1983, then catches up with guitarists Adrian Smith and Dave Murray, who discuss their latest album, Piece of Mind. The original story ran with the headline "Iron Maiden: The Men Behind the Metal Mask" and started on page 48. Pete Townshend was on the cover.

Adrian Frederick "H" Smith (born 27 February 1957) is an English guitarist and member of Iron Maiden, for whom he writes songs and performs live backing vocals on some tracks. Smith grew up in London and became interested in rock music at 15. He soon formed a friendship with future Iron Maiden guitarist Dave Murray, who inspired him to take up the guitar. After leaving school at 16, he formed a band called Urchin, which he led until their demise in 1980.

It's the first taster of Maiden's 90-minute double album, The Book Of Souls. An album packed with the signature Maiden harmonies, solo duels and huge choruses fans love, with weighty epics (the album closes with an 18-minute opus) and punchier songs like Speed Of Light that recall their classic anthems. And it turns out, when it comes to the latter, Adrian Smith and Bruce Dickinson played an active part in songwriting proceedings. This time I did a couple of things with Bruce too," he explains to Total Guitar

Iron Maiden are an institution. Over the course of nearly 40 years they have come to embody a spirit of fearless creative independence, ferocious dedication to their fans, and a cheerful indifference to their critics that’s won them a following that spans every culture, generation, and time zone. A story of gritty determination and courageous defiance of the naysayers, theirs has been an adventure like no other, and they’re showing no signs of slowing down. A childhood friend of Dave Murray, Smith joined Iron Maiden in 1980, and recorded the Killers album in 1981, but did not begin co-writing with the band until on Gangland and The Prisoner. Murray left Iron Maiden in 1990, forming his own band Pyscho Motel while also playing in Bruce Dickinson’s solo outfit, but then rejoined the metal giants in 1999.
