Members shreder75 Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Originally posted by Big Hair LOL!!! One thing I liked about Ad Smith is that eh did change. Murray still looks the same, plays same guitars etc as when he first started maiden. At least Smith has had different images, guitars etc etc indeed =) remember that old ibanez destroyer he used to play around 86? =) kinda related...I got ASAP Silver and Gold from ebay awhile back....I had ordered it from a local music store back in like 90 and never got it...haha..anyway, there's a few bright spots, but you could tell he was going in a less metal direction and I was a little let down..but the leads, as always are great and he's got a great singing voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he re-joined I made the trip to paris & rotterdam to see the first Euro shows with him back. Starting the shows with Aces High was something I didn;t think I'd see again - KICK ASS!

Members guitarded_1 Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Yes...Janick does jump around like a homo. I must be the only guy who thinks that his style is actually kinda cool...like a really heavy and raw Blackmore thing. Of course, I would prefer that he not be in Maiden, but I still think that he rips. Flame away...I'm ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ConcreteVampire Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Originally posted by shreder75 did ya change your hair style every 'tour' like adrian did? lol maiden rules! Ha! Ha! No Sir I didi not! In fact my hair is way longer, more like Marty Friedman.Guitar wise I couldnt justify the purchase of an old Destroyer, I used my EPI (Sparkle red top) LP, on early songs, and my Black (Mirror Pickguard) Mockingbird, on later stuff. Hell I guess I could use the Mockingbird for a Priest trib as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ConcreteVampire Posted August 26, 2005 Members Share Posted August 26, 2005 Unfortunately not. The rest of the band was relatively "Tech Challenged"... The Singer, (IMAGINE THAT) turned out to be too much of a chore/bore... and we really couldnt hold onto the bass player, (The Anchor) If your that good, there's usually better things to do... I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I spent all that time Learnin Adrians {censored} after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hell Bites Posted August 27, 2005 Members Share Posted August 27, 2005 Man, Janick does so many stupid guitar stunts and little dances live. It is so annoying. He also often strays way too far from the song when doing solos. By the way, I always liked Adrian's Jackson guitars too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members george656 Posted September 21, 2005 Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 I like Adrian's solo in Stranger in a Strange Land. I Like his guitar playing unlike my former guitar teacher in Canada who said that his playing sounded sloppy to his ears. I hope that he uses his white Jackson strat on the next tour for Powerslave, Somewhere in time and SSOASS albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flanger Posted September 21, 2005 Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 Originally posted by shreder75 they really don't need three guitars anyway..yeah, they can have someone playing rythm while they have the harmonies, but they used to do fine without that third axe in there Hell, Bruce can play guitar, and did so during "Revelations" on LAD.

Members Extasyguy Posted September 21, 2005 Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 Adrian is my favorite guitarist/songwriter of all time. Just listen to the middle section of "Sea of Madness" where it slows down for a bit. {censored}ing classic {censored}. Seventh Son is another thread entirely. I could go on and on but Im just glad that theres so many others that recognize his genius (and Janick's jackassery! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tele The Truth Posted September 21, 2005 Members Share Posted September 21, 2005 I always loved Adrian's playing.............but it was Dave's furious trills that sent me to the woodshed on more than one occasion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that he can hold a candle to Davey or Ad (as I was raised in the Church of Maiden)...but sucks...that's kinda strong. The dude is a good player...just not good for Maiden.

Members Whammyless Posted September 22, 2005 Members Share Posted September 22, 2005 Originally posted by dreamspace just wow...! one of my favs Anyone with me when I say that "Somewhere in time" kicks ass? "somewhere in time" and "seventh son.." I'm with you. "Somewhere in Time" is probably still my fav Maiden album. Really like "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son", too. Ah heck, I like pretty much all of them! "Somewhere in Time" just has a huge sound for me and even my parents digged "Alexander the Great".

Members Flat Fifth Fury Posted September 22, 2005 Members Share Posted September 22, 2005 Yes! Excellent stuff. I was fortunate enough to see the Maidens twice on the Powerslave "World Slavery Tour" and also on the "Somewhere on Tour" front row right in front of Adrian! Ah yes ... the good ol' days. AS is one of my faves and yes, Janick isn't worthy of polishing DM and AS's guitars. But then that's just me .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
