Yeah man, saw him with maiden earlier this year... I was amazed

He's a genius. He made the best riffs and solos on Maiden history. Maiden wouldn't be what it is today without Adrian (And Harris off course! But we are on an Adrian video). Dont get me wrong on this, everyone on Maiden is needed and couldn't be replaced. But tell me if I'm not right that you can instantly know when Adrian is soloing or not... I mean his solos are orgasmic! :D

Dave has brains! That's why! He knows its all just a merchandise selling game and so he goes off and lives his life playing golf and such. 1950's strat for maiden? Are you serious maiden? Cause the joke is way out of date! But I guess they lost sales when they played the 1980's guitar designs. So its 1950's all the way! Strats all round now! It's just Looney Tunes these days. I saw this guitar in the shop once, and it was once. That tells the whole story about the music world. They get in 1 guitar to sell, and then once its gone, that's all there ever will be for sale! Now that shop is completely gone! And I'm gone from this video! Note the pattern!? 400 shops who never got the guitar into the shop to sell it and 1 shop that did and now, they're ALL out of business! What a stupid, stupid game this is.

This term is used way too often but it applies here as much or more than to most any other guitarist from the ‘80’s, 90’s and the ‘00’s. Underrated! Adrian Smith added a dimension to IM that put them over the top. A humble and unassuming presence on stage and off. He is simply one of the finest Rock guitarists of the last four decades. Up The Irons!!!

Adrian is by far the most tight and precise guitarist in maiden. Great tone and very tastefull solo's. Up the irons adrian🤘

Still my favourite guitarist. OK he's not the fastest or the flashiest but Adrian's riffs are killer, his solos are always a joy and his searing tone just sounds outstanding. And he always looks cool. When he came back to Maiden I think the band really got its soul back. Just a great musician and always funny and modest with it.

His Tobacco Burst Lado guitar from the Powerslave era (I think) is the coolest guitar he ever had. Second for the Gold Top Les Paul he also used.

Adrian and Dave, the best tandem guitar duo there is

The thing I love the most about Adrian's playing is that he'll go for the tasty,melodic lick over the flashy ones and the songwriting is nothing but top-notch. Saying that,I can't WAIT to get my hands on the new cheaper SDX model,up the irons!

I was a drumer back in the day and med Adrian when he was 15 r 16. He was in a band with dave Murray called ston free .I was on drums .even then I could see thay were going places. They have done so well and deserve there places at top 👏 😊

Legend!!!

What amazes me is the humility of all the band members.

Absolutely brilliant guitarist!

They put there all into preforming. I'm sure you wouldn't want to see grown men up in there 60's just standing there playing instruments. You want to see men well into their 60's jumping around and moving, you know? Giving the audience what they paid for. Anyways. UP THE IRONS! \m./

I would love to have that Jackson guitar! It would be a dream coming true for me.

this guy is my greatest inspiration as a musician, keep it simple

Really great looking and sounding guitar Adrian. I always know when your part of lead is in an Iron Maiden song (very distinct signature sound Mr. Adrian Smith). I hope to see you and the rest of Iron Maiden on tour again someday (once the pandemic stops), I only seen you guys once in Saint John New Brunswick Canada back in 1999. Cheers, take care and Up The Irons!

Smith is not known for being the most technical guitarist but he enjoys immense respect from musicians throughout for his abilities to write good music and also for his melodic solo work. A heavy metal legend. My favourite guitarist for many years when I was younger.

I dig this guy. Great sense of music, great solos and has written some of Maidens best.

Love what he says, its all about attention to detail. To me Smith has a lot in common with Gilmore, so much polish and expression. Sometimes he's throwing a flurry of notes but he's always very selective about his notes and really makes each of them count !

Seeing iron maiden when they first came to the states touring with Judas priest was awesome. Very minimal stage, but to be honest we were there to see Judas priest and when we left, it was all about iron maiden. Hearing all of those harmonies live and just taking it all in it was awesome. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

I really want that guitar.

"Go go bar" is a new one on me!

What is this delay setting? I have the TC Electronic Flashback

Has anyone played the USA version of his guitar like he is playing here? What is the neck like? is it the traditional Jackson super thin neck i love?

00:52 is the mic clipping? Why does the tone sound so squeezed?

Adrian is so right, especially as a guitarist in one of the biggest heavy metal bands of all time. Some of those riffs are not hard to play themselves but to get the feel and timing of them can be very tricky. It seems that Adrian uses well places upstrokes on some of those riffs, especially the one for The Wicker Man.

Absolute hero

LEGEND!!!

I love this man and what he has created with Iron maiden!!

Anybody know what the EQ settings are on that JCM 2000? And is he using a tubescreamer or anything else in front of the cab?

anyone know the name of the background song?

What's the FX unit on the top of the right head?

I have had his signature model now for over a year and I have to say it is the best sounding guitar I have ever owned. I love to play to blues and have the fat chimey fender sound and then hit the bridge picket up and let that Dimarzio sing.

YES I KNOW

The thing that works about this guitar is that it is a very simple strat evo that improved on the original design yet was still faithfully a Fender look. The stark white black hardware is timeless and the oversized Jackson logo is very standout. I reckon if Jackson had produced this exactly (no not just san dimas models under Charvel) in the 80's more US players would have ignored Ibanez and played local.

how come guitar center has the sdx with a rosewood fretboard? i saw online sites with a maple fretboard

...you know... i really like his guitar... you know

Thanks up the irons!!!

His a hot handed player , amazing 🎸

Interesting to see him play the riffs so close, to apreciate the use of the upstrokes.

I'm glad to hear that they love Thinlizzy! Btw folks, if you haven't already check out Emerald by Thinlizzy. You will see the resemblence to Run to the hills! :)
