Lendária figure in world-wide the metallic scene and ídolo of innumerable boys who, of guitars in fist, if strengthen to imitate its ground with precision, Adrian Smith developed a solid career in the Iron Maiden, forming with Dave Murray, to the long one of the Eighties, one of the pairs of coesas guitarists of the sort. In 1990, Adrian left the Maiden to after dedicate to the alone career 9 years of history. The time passed e, in 2000, it came back to touch with its friend, closing a cycle together that started has much more time of that some fans imagine.
Been born in 27 of February of 1957, in London, England, Adrian still discovered in the adolescence its passion for music. With 15 years, already it heard records of the Black Sabbath, Free and other bands of rock. The first LP that bought was a classic of the Purple, the album Machine Head. In time, a school friend that risked chords in the guitar stimulated it to start to also touch. This coleguinha. was nobody little than Dave Murray. That moment meant the beginning of the partnership that would go to fortify itself through the times.
Empolgado with the possibilities to become a rock to star, Adrian still left the school to the 16 years. While the fame did not arrive, it was ventured in diverse activities. She was apprentice of carpenter, soldering iron and milk. But wise person who nothing would give certain because he was gotten passionate for touching guitar. Um guitarist alone if carries through touching. It is the function of it. It does not advance to try to leave for other activities. I am very happy when I am touching, when I am making show. I only become fullfilled myself in palco and not seeing TV, constructing closets or any another thing, counts Adrian.
In middle of the decade of 70, it and Dave had formed a called band Evil Ways, who soon had its name changed for Urchin. At this time, Dave already was in the Iron and if it revezava between the two bands. In 1980, Adrian was invited to integrate line up of the Maiden, that would go to record its first record. It refused, preferring to bet in the career of the Urchin. He did not give, however, to control the remorse when seeing the success of the Iron Maiden in the British stops. In the following year Adrian, substituting Dennis Stratton in the guitars of the Maiden was and reencontrando the Dave friend there. Still in 1981 they they had recorded the Killers album, that reached excellent repercussion between metaleiros. of England.
From history it is known there. Adrian if transformed into one of the most important guitarists of heavy metal and printed its personality in the noise of the Maiden. Moreover, it contributed as letrista in some classics of the band as Two Minutes you the Midnight., Flight of Icarus., Wasted Years. e The Evil That Men Do..
Amongst other things of the golden phase of the Maiden, as the success and the passion that despertaram in young of the entire world, long Adrian if remembers the turnês and the frequent problems that had with its equipment. Os amplifying older was not so resistant and they always broke. The same thing happened with my old pedals. Today it is all digital e, therefore, I do not remember to have in the last five years had any problem. Moreover, I have a team to take care of of my instruments. But nor always it was thus, counts it.
In 1989, the guitarist decided to invest in the alone career. Its first record received the name from ASAP (abbreviation for Adrian Smith Project) and followed a more gradual and commercial line, well different of the sound that made in the Maiden. In 1990, it started to dedicate itself only to its projects and left the Iron, being substituted by Janick Gers.
Its as work, Psycho Motel, were launched only in 1996 and it did not reach great repercussion. In the following year, Adrian appeared with another record, Welcome You the The World, that brought the suggestive participation of Dave Murray in the band With You Again.. It counts that, exactly without having reached great recognition, he does not repent yourself of the choice that made. After all, to leave the Iron to invest in its particular projects was a risk. Tem one hour in the life that we need to make something, to move. I find that, if it did not have risky, today would be wild or sick thinking about the one that could have been. If not it had made everything as I made nor I know where it would be now. The things always happen in the alias process, say.
In 1997, Bruce Dickinson, also is of the Maiden had some years, called the guitarist to record the Accident record of Birth, enormous success in the world all. The two had still recorded plus an album together, the Chemical Wedding, launched in the following year. At this time, rumors existed on the return of the pair to the Iron Maiden.
In 2000, the suspicion they had been proven and Steve Harris announced the reintegration of Adrian Smith and Bruce Dickinson to its trupe. The meeting reed-echo positively in such a way enters the fans of the band how much in the media. From now on, the Iron started to count on three guitarists, what it caused some changes the way to touch of Adrian, Dave and Janick. Tivemos to talk very to adapt ground of musics oldest. We three form a teams and, to act together, we had to change some things in our way to touch. While a good colloquy decided the problem of ground in musics of other times, in the new songs the question was locked up of simple form. Quem composes music chooses who makes the ground. The Steve Harris composes the majority of them, then it in accordance with chooses the one of us noise of music. If it wants my timbre, I makes. The same valley for the Dave. Now, if it wants something more maluco, asks for to the Janick..
Still regarding ground, Adrian counted that, when touches to the living creature, it takes very well-taken care of to reproduce of trustworth form what it made in studio, without improvising or innovating very. Faço this because I know that who goes to the show likes to hear ground as they are in the record. The people like to sing together e, therefore, she is not legal to be changing all hour. As artist you have to give to the public what it wants to hear. Another thing is that the very fast course of some musics does not allow that you improvises.
The last record to the living creature of the Iron, recorded in the third edition of the Rock in River, carried through in January of 2001, besides being a homage to the Brazilian fans, always so receptive, is the consecration of the success of the band. According to Adrian, this can be considered a definitive album. Nesse record, everything is very good: the production, the atmosphere. I say until it surpasses the Live After Dead, recorded has about fifteen years, that were our first one register to the alive one.
After the trips divulging this COMPACT DISC, the band must take off vacation until September of this year, when she starts to work in the next record. Já I have much ready thing in the head, ideas that had appeared of course. It seems that Bruce and Janick also have sufficiently material. While this, Adrian intends to congregate some musicians to practise. Tenho touched much guitar in last the 14 months and I want to mount a small group during our vacations to continue practising. To touch with a band is always an excellent assay. It informs, however, that he does not intend to hook some more serious project far of the Maiden and denies the possibility to leave again in turnê with Bruce Dickinson. Não I think about no alone project or something it type to prevent that they start to say that I left the Iron. Moreover, to touch in a so great band very demands of all we. Almost not surplus time for activities parallel bars.
How much to the DVD of the In Rock River, that would have to be in the market before exactly of the COMPACT DISC, it it explains that some problems technician had provoked a delay in the launching. But, in June, it must be in the store. Regarding a new ticket for Brazil, of this time to the side of the remaining portion of the group, Adrian said that only it must happen in 2003
