Such a true legendary guitarist!
yes he is
Yeah man, saw him with maiden earlier this year... I was amazed
Adrian is a killer player and very melodic!
The man that made me want to play guitar. Legend!
So do I
Me 2 :D
You are brutal as a guitarist Adrian! One of the best in history and the best Metal Guitarist on the Planet! YOU ARE A LEGEND
My favorite axeman in Maiden, by far. I think his absence from the band led him to meet guys who gave him interesting ideas and pushed him harder. When he returned, he pretty much gave the band a new life.
loved the stuff he did on ASAP and Psycho Motel. Pretty much showed his genius at creating killer riffs
tokkyuuressha
ASAP was INCREDIBLE!!!!!
Its Bass center.
Mine as well, he's amazing
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
+João Matos Totally right man!! You can tell when Adrian is soloing, he is my favorite guitarist!
João Matos I think you can easily tell who's soloing out of all three actually. But I agree, adrian's great
My favorite guitarist
João Matos ... Dave Murray might have something to say about that...
You can really see the effect after Adrian quit. Seventh so to No prayer for the dying. There was a massive drop in quality between those two albums.
It would be amazing if they did Dave Murray at guitar center
A Fender Strat with Seymor Duncans
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 Cause the joke is way out of date!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.
hell yeah I would love to meet him and buy his signature Fender there on the spot to get it signed in person and a photo with the guy!
Kinda like interviewing Tipton but not Downing.
Suhr fixed the flaws in Fender and surprised Maiden does not use those guitars?
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!!!
that wickerman riff is beautiful
sounds like a ripoff of judas priest's "running wild."
Kind of, but it's still hell of a riff! And on the other hand nobody owns music...
@@randallfloyd4476 no way, low E and power chord does not belong to anyone
randall floyd simmer down
He’s down to earth and a great guitar player very human very humble ✌️
He started playing and the tone was totally different than I expected
His beloved J-Station.
He and dave murray r so simple down to earth. Thats why they hv huge fanbase
One of my favourite guitarists of all time!
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.
God.....some guitarists when they start to play it just grips you in excitment and makes you happy, He is one of them for sure!
The best guitarist in Maiden. An absolute legend
dave murray is really good
Pref Dave
They are all guitarist gods.
Why would you even choose one over another?
@@Bruh-bx9mh because their styles are massively different
And Adrian’s is the best to me.
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!
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
Adrian Smiff.
Best Maiden guitarist.
Up the Irons!
BodaciousWickerman LoL, he didn't pronounce it the cockney way (Smiff) here though! hehe
RickyboyH Haha yeah.
BodaciousWickerman no it is dave murray.
Çağatay Sunal I used to like Dave but I think Adrian's the best Maiden guitarist. They're all awesome.
+BodaciousWickerman Both have very different styles and both are very soulfull
The wicker man intro is just an explosion of sound.
One of the only guitar players that gives me a ridiculously big grin when I watch them play. Love this man's playing and his work on Somewhere in Time is just inspiring. He is one of the main reasons why I push myself to be a better player.
Man, I love this dude!
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 👏 😊
One third of Maiden's triple pronged guitar attack. Adrian is sooo awesome. Saw a video of him warming up with some Stevie Ray before yet another epic performance. How cool is that.
when i read "Adrian Smith At: Guitar Center"
my face :O
Been a big fan of Adrian Smith since Number of the Beast came out. I was in High School and it was the real beginning of my education. Up the Irons!
What a humble mate! Great!
he is the only one to make 2 minutes to midnight sounds perfectly into the rythm
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.
Adrian is awesome he's definitely one of my hugest influences
Hugest? 😂
The most hugest!
Absolutely brilliant guitarist!
Some guitarists look like the guitar is part of their being. Adrian is one of those guitarists.
I love ur profile pic 💞
galareta żyd na gównie - Thank you! Dave Murray is awesome! ❤️
@@SomewhereInTheMaidenverse yes i love him 💕 Adrian too haha
galareta żyd na gównie - Yes, of course! 🥰
Legend!!!
"You gotta play it right; don't play it sloppy"
Tell that to Jannick, Adrian.
+TrevRockOne Listen to actual studio albums. Janick is very in harmonies and/or melodies in the studio. Sure live it sounds different, but that's because Maiden is a live band. 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./
Hey, I defend Janick all the time for his songwriting contribution to the band. But there's no doubt that he's a sloppy as hell player.
+TrevRockOne Live sure. in the studio he's pretty precise. I mean everyone must be. I'm sure Steve wouldn't allow them to be sloppy. But yes of course. A lot of his writting is of course phenomenal
By contrast, though, Adrian is extremely tight live. So, it can be done.
+TrevRockOne Adrian is my favourite in Maiden but he's pretty fucking sloppy live. Listen to Adrian Smith guitar channel in Rock In Rio.
Deep Purple? Free? The Beatles? The Rolling Stones? Michael Schenker? Thin Lizzy? Gary Moore? No wonder I like Iron Maiden!
I agree
I agree!
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!
How can you not love this guy. Go go bar first time hearing this
666 thousand views Classic! just so Maiden, Adrian rocks no big ego just all about the guitar and music how nice, thx Adrian stay Heavy 666 :)
I liked that term the "Go Go Bar" - Great Show at Oakland Coliseum!
OLD SCHOOL HEAVY METAL !!!
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I would love to have that Jackson guitar! It would be a dream coming true for me.
What amazes me is the humility of all the band members.
this guy is my greatest inspiration as a musician, keep it simple
I dig this guy. Great sense of music, great solos and has written some of Maidens best.
you know, you know, you know, you know, you know... yes, Adrian, we know. XD
XD
you should watch Dave's interview, then you will know even more lol
Do you have the link? It is always good to know, you know...
hypnotizerLuna true lol

Onevof my All Time Favourite Guitarists & Dave Murray As Well
Damn! that jackson sounds AMAZING
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 !
Hell yeah. Adrian's playing just oozes with feeling!
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. 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
His solo on wasted years is epic!
Makes it look so easy...stuff of legend
One of my favourite guitarists
just ordered one ,epic guitar ..can't go wrong with jackson guitars.
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.
He absolutely is! *-*
One of the greatest alive🤘🏽
"Go go bar" is a new one on me!
I love how the subtitles say "I'm Agent Smith at Guitar Center" 😂
I have a 2020 absolutely brilliant
When Adrian left and they had Jannick replace him, he should have left when Adrian came back. Him and Dave are the reason I am a metalhead to this day. That duo, along with KK and Glenn were the soundtrack of my youth. I still know every note of every song ever written by all four of them. Epic players
SixStringLove Guy yes they don't need Janice anymore. .
I heard Jannick was broke and desperate so Steve Harris hired him. I'm not crazy about 3 guitars.
That's rock a riff sound cool and easy ...awesome player...!
Satch's Silver Surfer on the wall, awesome!
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.
I really want that guitar.
...you know... i really like his guitar... you know
Seems like a great guy. He didn't try to act like a god, he just mentioned playing simple stuff and playing it right. Love The North Face hat. He's big into the outdoors.
For me he is the best guitar player in the world. I ever wonder how good it sounds if Iron Maiden made a tribute to Pink Floyd and Adrian Smith playing David Gilmour solos... What do you think?
Try looking up his cover of comfortably numb very good
Guitar center steve harris
Its Bass center
@@entulhohardcorepunkgrindco3397 that'S the joke dipshit
Great Adrian......
I love you Mr. Adrian Smith.
Yeah !!! Jackson is a very good brand
I started getting into Maiden in the mid 00's, started getting their albums and DVDs. Then I met this guy in Cardiff when they were playing. I wasn't going because of work but I saw him in town. I approached him to say hello and to have a great show. He couldn't have been more rude. Never listened to them since. CDs and DVDs cost hard earned money, manners are free.
You gotta understand they don't wanna be famous and Adrian is a pretty nervous,shy guy and he just had his moment of silence.
Yertle The Turtle What exactly did he say to you?
Never been a metal lover, but I always really love his way to play
My first guitar idol :D
thats a really beautiful guitar
I love Jackson guitars, i have a Kelly and it is amazing, the quality of the neck is superb!
What model exactly? I mean of course kelly but what kind of?
Try out an Ibanez Prestige line if you wanna see what a guitar neck should really be like!!!
good shout! I think adrian smith is awesome!
His a hot handed player , amazing 🎸
LEGEND!!!
We are not worthy. My favourite metal guitarist of all time. Guys like Petrucci, Slash, Satriani, Vai, Tremonti are all awesome obviously but Adrian's sound just kicks arse.
yes, you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Regards from Italy
Interesting to see him play the riffs so close, to apreciate the use of the upstrokes.
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.
GREAT!!!
I love this man and what he has created with Iron maiden!!
his guitar tone in this is really good
Yeah, the So-Cal does look v nice, especially the white HH body with black pickguard and maple fingerboard. I can't seem to find any online but I'll keep looking. Cheers.
I bought that guitar!!
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?
Is it just me? Or does Adrian lost some weight?..he looks good👍🏻...
He definitely lost weight. He looks young.
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! :)
Heaviest hand, some of the best riffs written when he was in Maiden.
Absolute hero
Why's everyone mad at Jannick? I love the way the three of them play together. Murray's pretty much my fave but everyone in the band is terrific. And each of the guitar players plays incredibly well.
I got this guitar on 27/07/12 and have had a few issues with fret buzz and action but H.F.S it sounds freakin awesome
My favourite ❤️.
simple but great riffs
Thanks up the irons!!!
