There really should be a weekly adrian show where he does obscure maiden riffs like this

I wonder how many youths of today could appreciate what we're seeing here: an internationally renowned, millionaire rockstar, well in his 50s, with absolutely nothing to prove to anyone. Yet here's Adrian Smith (I got goosebumps just typing your name, for god's sake!) jamming in his room like a kid, and sharing his doubts on the performance. Things like this can only add (if possible) to the greatness of what you have done with your music, Mr.Smith. Thanks for filling the huge and best part of my life with your riffs and solos.

And this fact could allow the band to choose from a huge number of great songs.

In the past 5 years, I've studied a slew of history and the current book I'm reading is "The Might of the West" by Lawrence R. Brown, and in it, you read briefly about Persia (or Iran or Aryans) getting easily defeated 334-333 BC. Persia was weak even though they had conquered pretty much all of the Levant or Palestine/Mesopotamia/Egypt in the 100s of years before. They were ripe for getting rolled over. It's telling how Jesus spoke Aramaic, yet all the first "Christians" and written text were in Greek. The first "Christians" were Hellenic Jews. Alexander's time was well before all that though.

This was so much fun to watch. Also a great song to remind us how great a drummer Clive was.

I was born in '66 and over the years, saw you guys 33 times thanks to those mega southern California dates you used to do in the 80's. I'm old and disabled now, got the same thing Mick Mars suffers from but also, bad arthritis in my hands that killed any attempts at playing solos i used to enjoy. Watching this video made me laugh and appreciate that the time thats passed for all of us never took away our sense of humour. I just want to tell you how bloody refreshing it is to watch you play a song the way most of the rest of us play, imperfect, unedited, guitar, amp and bedroom sound gear and with the levity that all of us hoped our guitar heros had but never could be quite sure. The last show I saw was in Florida about 10 years ago and had handicap seats but was faced at the arena with a tower of stairs outside and an unbelievable lightning storm that blew in along with a new ticketing system that caused all of us to be sat outside until literally curtain time. Luckily for me, about 5 guys saw me staring at those pyramid of giza like steps and hoisted me up and carried me to the top and put their raincoats together to keep me and my son from getting soaked to the bone. It could've been a totally shit evening but the amazing comradarie of maiden fans allowed me to have a great time. I'll never be able to see maiden again because of being too disabled to get to an arena anymore, but this video was almost how I'd guess sitting in a backstage practice room with Adrian would be like and that is just about as much as I could ask for. Thank you Adrian. You are indeed one of the great ones for me because of your incredible humility. Plus, being a fisherman doesn't hurt either. 😎 Thank you mate.

An early 'punky' classic Maiden song, you could easily hear Paul sing this too.

Adrian, as a big fan .... .... seeing this made my year bud! I love the fun you express on here and seriously love your playing style , plus being an honest, nice , no ego human being. Canada loves IRON MAIDEN

Would be cool to have Dave & Adrian together some time, talking about their days growing up together, and evolving into the greatest guitar duo of all time. Then we could have Dave Murray talk a bit about "Still Life"

In 1987 I found the song “Reach out” on a juke box in an Irish pub in Killarney County Kerry and Fell in love with it!!!! Still rock it to this day!

Ha that was fun to watch! Hope to see more of these!

This is brilliant! Need more videos like this. So cool to see a member of one of my favorite bands of all time jamming on a classic Maiden track while commenting on it. Love it!

That guitar is absolutely fucking iconic in metal.

That was really entertaining Adrian. You guys should do more videos like this. Have a great week!

I wish Clive was still with us and talk to us about his childhood, favorite musicians, practice routine etc. etc. something similar to this, what a tremendous drummer ❤️

Clive's parts are more difficult than people realise. When he was with Dee Snider in 'Desperado' Dee said that he played with the vocals more than with the Bass, which was interesting to hear. Always been a huge fan since 79!

Me too. I am a HUGE Clive Burr’s fan. I follow every fragment from him on Internet and KZread. Not to disqualify Nicko... thats so immature... but I simply love his drumming patterns. Thanks Adrian to give credit to Gangland!!!! Is is a GREAT music.

At the end of the day if you tie all the threads together, Adrian Smith is one of THE most influential players out there and is responsible - along with the rest of the Maiden family- for some of the most powerful, original, thematic hard hitting and even story metal-emotional albums ever created. Watching this as a life-long fan is such good medicine. Smile and tears of joy! UTI!
