The most humble and ordinary guy in the music industry, yet with the most extraordinary skills and unmeasured talent. Always with a smile on his face. Pure class act!!
Dave is a fantastic guitarist, he’s not one of those guys who thinks he’s better than anyone else, he just goes about his business and loves what he does. He’s definitely one of my favourites
@@andrewpappas9311 Steve's is even more straightforward, though. Would probably be a 3 minute video. XD - I might be wrong and there might be something more to it, but I think it's basically just "guitar goes into SansAmp, into (now) Orange amp (I believe), into Marshall cabs with EV-speakers" and there's a compressor in there somewhere. - Not saying it's not nice to see a video of it, but just saying, it's simple.
That guitar inspired me to get one like it. Not a Fender, but a different make that's a little more modern, yet very much like a traditional Stratocaster at the same time. - I still customize it after my preference, but after always thinking I should get a Strat since I became a fan in like 2000, but never having gotten one because I thought in the end it was "not for me", I had to finally get something similar alongside some other guitars. It ended up being one of my favorites out of the bunch I have. XD
I’m a drummer and I get guitar face watching Dave crank out the second half of the Alexander the great guitar solo. Much love for Dave and the boys and of course all the behind the scenes boys and girls that make it happen!
Wow, Dave using Fractal Axe Fx III is a big change. The JMP1 from Marshall explains why is tone has this mid frequeny that cuts trhough the mix, and make his solos always good to hear,
Yeah..I always thought that he would be one of the last guys to stick with real amps. I wonder what stages/backstage will look like in 15 or 20 years...? Like..i wonder how many young guitar players/future stars will use amps...
@@michaelr.4878 Metallica, both James and Kirk are using the fractal axe fx3 for amp simulation. Dave, John Petrucci and Steve Vai use the fractal just for effects.The audio signal from these players is still coming from a tube preamplifier.
@@alexandretonini6178 One of the keys is the whole interaction between the pre-amps and power-amps, which in Dave's case would've been the JMP-1s into the power-sections of the JCM-2000s. - I think you can hear it, to be honest. Perhaps not live (in person) as much, but recorded for sure. I mean, I could already hear something was different when they started using Blackstar-amps since like the "Final Frontier" album and I did not like it much. - Of course the regular listener won't have a clue, but since we as guitar-players and such listen to it differently, we can tell. - I especially don't like MetallicA's sound since they went digital live, cause... while it can sound great (I'm not an "against digital" guy), it seems they just don't know how to use it. Not so much James and Kirk, because they're probably helped by their techs and the Fractal people to set it all up or whatever. But just go back to when they used their tube-amps in videos from like 15-20 years ago or something (Anger and perhaps still the Magnetic tours). There's a presence to it that just makes it sound better, even if those videos and recordings are kinda crap. Their (recorded) sound today just comes across anemic and brittle, although even the drums do for some reason. And don't get me started on the "reliability" argument. - Angus Young still drags his old Marshall-heads along and literally gets his techs to repair them regularly as they actually fail regularly. - But more modern tube-amplifiers probably wouldn't be as fragile. - Convenience? Sure, but you're dragging along a stage and road-cases anyway and Rockstar guitar-techs are getting paid well. - That said, using entire full-sized heads just to use their power-amps like Dave did was indeed a little excessive. But I guess he had his reasons. The sound, probably.
@@michaelr.4878 In a way he IS one of the last ones, because Iron Maiden is winding down and Dave is also getting older and towards the end of his career. It has just gotten to the point that they clearly don't want to bother with anything "unnecessary" anymore and streamline things a bit now that things have developed enough. - Don't get me wrong, I also didn't see Dave "go digital" considering both his roots and how long he stuck with the amplifiers he used just before this (which was about the same for roughly a quarter of a century that I could find), but it has also been clear that he's not averse to newer technology if it does what he wants it to do. As for how many younger players will use "real amps": Sure, fewer, because it's just more convenient and affordable to get a digital or solid-state solution, especially considering how many just want to plug into a computer and use emulation to go through flat speakers. - Not to mention that fewer people are able to buy a house that allows for making more noise, which means apartments, which means a small speakers or headphones, both for noise and space. - That said, there are also great solid-state amplifiers, there are also compact low-wattage tube-amplifiers. - Personally, even though I'm an older Millennial, I decided to go all-analog and valve, but modular and compact, like a 20W power-amp with 4 tubes in it that's smaller than a common hi-fi amplifier, but then pre-amp pedals with valves that aren't larger than 2-3 standard Boss-pedals to get different sounds or "channels" in a way. Most people aren't going to do that (I don't even recommend it, cause it's more of a hassle, I'm just stubborn), but I'm just saying, there's still a lot of analog/valve-based modern stuff produced today that are way more convenient than a traditional head or combo, and they often also have DI connectivity and cab-emulation built in. - So it's all becoming very "hybrid" in a way. But there's a lot of options now, which is great!
I have to say, when he mentioned at 2:43 that Dave Murray is playing exceptionally well this tour, I had to nod my head in agreement. Dave Murray is playing ABSOLUTELY WICKED and astonishing well, and his sound is SO.GOOD. on this tour. I think throughout the by now 16 concerts which I have seen them play since 2007 he never sounded better than on this tour! This rig is fantastic!
When I started to learn the guitar, late summer 1983 in fact, my main influences were - in no particular order - Michael Schenker, Gary Moore, Randy Rhoads, and the one and only Dave Murray!! His creamy and instantly recognisable lead (neck pickup!) tone on the 'Killers' album in particular can still send shivers down my spine... Absolutely brill. Thanks so much, Davey!!! 😁🙏
Thank you so much for making this video guys. I was desperate for info on Dave's new guitar as well as his current rig. Please do videos for Jannick's and Adrian's rigs.
I have the Fm9. Fractal products are great for live shows. And it is no surprise we see them taking over the live rig of most artists. It is surprising for me to still see that huge mountain size neck heel on new guitars even if they were Fender and for old schoolers like the great Dave. I mean making a thinner heel wont hurt no one.
Just came over from the bass rig video, the transition was so funny. Bass rig: here's a fridge rack worth of preamps, amps, converters, compressors, DI's, power amps, two 70's cabs and all of that for the stage volume. Then we have a tiny Tech21 that does all that on its own and sent direct out to FOH. Then guitars: Here are the old JMP1s that we don't use anymore, here's an AXE FX3 that reduced 90% of the gear's weight.
I spotted the custom shop headstock when I was in Krakow! Lovely to see this gentleman shouting out one by one all the luthiers and technicians, class act
Interesting insight. It’s a good reminder that iron maiden would not be able to perform as they do without their team. HERE IS A SHOUTOUT TO ALL OF THE TEAM WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES!!! I’m looking forward to this Saturday at the o2!
Awesome! It's great that his rig is so simple, I've found that the guys with the simplest rigs usually have the best tone, and it certainly applies here! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Maiden always seemed like a band that had the attitude of "if it's not broke, don't fix it". Up until this tour, they used the same old beat up monitors, cabs, guitars, etc. But, it's kinda cool seeing that they are modernizing their rigs and gear a bit.
They had a period in the 80's where they had massive fridges of rack stuff and effects and wanky nonsense, and after that they went back to 100 watt amps and some pedals for a very long time, because it's just what they needed.
It’s amazing all the work that goes on behind the scenes… yes most bands are amazing live , but the techs and road crew never seem to get the full credit they deserve…. It’s really cool at least to come on here to see the behind the scenes of what goes on etc Love the rig videos 😊😊😊😊
At 0:58 you can also spot a glips of Adrian's rig, in the low left corner. On top of the effects rack, covered by what seems a metallic sheet, there's clearly a marshall head, you can see the red switch and the golden faceplate with round konbs. But maybe that's just a spare and also Adrian switched to digital. There are also pictures of Janick's tech corner with two racks, the old analog one and one loaded with two kempers. Can't wait for an official rig rundown:)
Guys thanks for this new setlist , it's the best, the new songs from the senjuntsu album. Caught some..in time, and Alex. ..the great, are great new songs ever played and the guys loved it. God bless You , thanks😊
Thanks Colin for showing us Daves new number 1 guitar, its a real beauty. Dave, Adrian and Janick the three axe men of maiden are all fantastic players and I look forward to see the rest of the bands gear. The ebony Les Paul Adrian is playing looks a real beauty too!! Up the Irons and come back to Norway again real soo.
I have the signature DM tobacco burst Strat and if he brings the new white one out as a signature then that will also be getting added to my collection which will be three signatures as i also have the Adrian Smith Jackson SDX Snow White, (black scratch plate) model😁
Dave Murray. My Gosh. A strat is all he needed to do it. Yes, we all do things to personalize it. But He has taken the Strat everywhere and beyond. Such a class player, and human I'd guess.
That Pearl Seymour Duncan plate is the only reason Dave put his name on it. It may say Feder on the head but it's pretty far removed from being a Stratocaster. I remember when Dave was playing the ESPs and Adrian loves his Jackson, that looks a little like a Strat. Dave has never really stepped out of the mould when it comes to different guitar shapes, he didn't do the "Metal" thing and get an "Axe". When it comes to Heavy Metal, Fender isn't commonly used which kinda shows that Dave is more about the music than the image.
love dave, always have. great to see the "simplicity" of his rig. even though for a bedroom guitar player its very complex, i can still see its far less than most people use nowadays.
Awesome 🙏 What a battle of material, I wish we had had info like this back in 1984, I bought my first Marshall because I always loved the Maiden sound...
The gear of all members of the band is specified in the concert LP's "Beast Over Hammersmith" (1982) and "Life After Death" (1985). At that time, Dave used the following: [Dunlop] CryBaby Wah-Wah, MXR 10-Band Graphic EQ (in 1982 he used a Boss GE-10 Graphic Equalizer), MXR Micro Amp, MXR Distortion +, MXR Phase 90, [DOD FX75 Stereo] Flanger, [Carlsbro] A.D.T. Chorus, TC Electronic 2290 Digital Delay (rack), Marshall amps, and DiMarzio humbuckers: SuperDistortion (bridge) and PAF Pro (neck) plus Fender single-coil (middle).
A lot of bands, after 40 plus years on the road, start to just go through the motions in their shows. But not Maiden. After 40 plus years on the road, they are playing better than ever and putting on even better shows than in years past. A testament to their dedication to the music of Iron Maiden and their fans. Doubt you will ever see another band who has reached the level of Iron Maiden despite the lack of "press" and support from radio.
That was awesome. Anyway you guys would think about selling the presets on the Fractal? Would love an Iron Maiden Fractal Preset pack and I don’t even own a fractal. Really appreciate the look at the rig. The guitars are beautiful. Love the new #1.
‘Saw the new Fender last night at Utilita Arena…. (Days of Future Past tour) It looks and sounds awesome… Dave rocked it within an inch of its life…. I want one soo bad…. It looks so cool…
what's the advantage of the fractal if it's just modeling the real jmp-1? also curious why maiden jumps back and forth from the rack marshall power amps and using the effects return of a marshall head (something I always thought was a bit odd given they are bulkier)
Iron maiden were the only ones using tubes.... Dave's sound was a marshal preamp and the marshal processor was truly amazing. Now more and more digital equipment is replacing the lamp, alas, time does not stand still. Following metallica, maidens switched to digital

I’m looking forward to this Saturday at the o2!
This year in Prague, Dave had really massive sound I love it.
Cool to see the pro set up for Dave - another Fractal convert, too! I look forward to seeing Adrian's set up!
I never thought I'd see an fx-iii in an Iron Maiden rig! That's very interesting indeed, shows how good they are!
They're amazing, I've been a Fractal guy for the past four or five years and they're the dogs danglies in the tones and options they give me
It's a welcome suprise! I know Adrian Smith had used a Kemper for the Smith/Kotzen stuff, maybe he swayed Davey into trying some new gear.
Dave is one of my guitar heros, cool to see this.
such a minimal clean set up! i love it!! cant wait to see run downs for the rest of the band!
His solo in the trooper is my favorite solo to cover
Davey one of my favorite guitarist ever! 🤘🤘🤘
Awesome! It's great that his rig is so simple, I've found that the guys with the simplest rigs usually have the best tone, and it certainly applies here!
Thanks for sharing this with us!
I’m surprised it’s taken Maiden so long to go Fractal. They always seemed like an obvious band to utilise it. Davey’s a legend!
People tend to stick to what they know and what has worked for them

Yeah especially with how they tour it probably saves a ton on space and touring in general
@@onetakehoovie5955Well since all the stuff always already racked nothing changed because they still use cabs.
They had a period in the 80's where they had massive fridges of rack stuff and effects and wanky nonsense, and after that they went back to 100 watt amps and some pedals for a very long time, because it's just what they needed.
Man all his old guitars from 80s and 90s and the 2000s still works
The attention and exposure that Maiden give the Killer Krew on tour is fantastic. That's real gratitude and appreciation.

But maybe that's just a spare and also Adrian switched to digital. There are also pictures of Janick's tech corner with two racks, the old analog one and one loaded with two kempers.

Awesome 🙏 What a battle of material, I wish we had had info like this back in 1984, I bought my first Marshall because I always loved the Maiden sound...
The gear of all members of the band is specified in the concert LP's "Beast Over Hammersmith" (1982) and "Life After Death" (1985). At that time, Dave used the following: [Dunlop] CryBaby Wah-Wah, MXR 10-Band Graphic EQ (in 1982 he used a Boss GE-10 Graphic Equalizer), MXR Micro Amp, MXR Distortion +, MXR Phase 90, [DOD FX75 Stereo] Flanger, [Carlsbro] A.D.T. Chorus, TC Electronic 2290 Digital Delay (rack), Marshall amps, and DiMarzio humbuckers: SuperDistortion (bridge) and PAF Pro (neck) plus Fender single-coil (middle).
I saw them play for the first time ( The Final Frontier tour) and he was playing a Les Paul w/ Floyd Rose.
A lot of bands, after 40 plus years on the road, start to just go through the motions in their shows. But not Maiden. After 40 plus years on the road, they are playing better than ever and putting on even better shows than in years past. A testament to their dedication to the music of Iron Maiden and their fans. Doubt you will ever see another band who has reached the level of Iron Maiden despite the lack of "press" and support from radio.

Finally guitar rig rundowns!
I hope we get a rundown of Adrian's rig, as well.
Fantastic new white Fender guitar...wow
So simple setup and rig, but works amazingly.
Dave’s a legend
That was awesome. Anyway you guys would think about selling the presets on the Fractal? Would love an Iron Maiden Fractal Preset pack and I don’t even own a fractal.
Really appreciate the look at the rig. The guitars are beautiful. Love the new #1.
Yeeeeees yes yes yeeeeees!!!! F** yes!!!!!!!!! Been begging for this for ages. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!
That new olympic white strat...dont know what it is about it...i bet it plays elegantly
Nice I bought the Fractal as well they're great machines
Been waiting for this for 20 years !!
Gran equipo 🤘👏👏👏👏👊 The Best band of world 😎👊 Ansiosa que regresen a México 🇲🇽❤
Cool to see Iron Maiden using digital amps live and not being stuck in the past!
Awesome guitars!!!
‘Saw the new Fender last night at Utilita Arena…. (Days of Future Past tour) It looks and sounds awesome… Dave rocked it within an inch of its life…. I want one soo bad…. It looks so cool…
Axe FX III! So cool! Huge maiden fan since my teens!!!
that's a dream come true level rig 👍 🎸🤘🎸👍
what's the advantage of the fractal if it's just modeling the real jmp-1? also curious why maiden jumps back and forth from the rack marshall power amps and using the effects return of a marshall head (something I always thought was a bit odd given they are bulkier)
That walnut neck is gorgeous.
Iron maiden were the only ones using tubes.... Dave's sound was a marshal preamp and the marshal processor was truly amazing. Now more and more digital equipment is replacing the lamp, alas, time does not stand still. Following metallica, maidens switched to digital
UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!
Os melhores shows do mundo possuem a melhor equipe e, só pode ser da melhor banda do mundo. Up the Irons ❤
