I don't know much about which tracks Jan plays in Drop D. but Adrian's performed at least the following tracks in Drop D at some point (some have gone back to standard) - Trooper - Number of the Beast - Wrathchild - Fear of the Dark (one of my favourite parts of this is on En Vivo live, in...

Bruce has said in the past that "If Eternity Should Fail" is the first & only Maiden song written in Drop D (as opposed to songs where H and maybe Jan have performed in Drop D). I would guess maybe Steve did Drop D for that maybe on the record, maybe live? None others that I can think of...

Some photos of the night at the Grammy Museum with Smith/Kotzen https://screamermagazine.com/photos/photos-an-evening-with-smith-kotzen-at-the-grammy-museum/

The new Iron Maiden: Infinite Dreams visual history book will have "photographs of the band’s instruments past and present" - hopefully they show some gear that may have not been so well documented yet... Hopefully a double page spread dedicated to the Holy Goldtop If this picture is anything...

Yes - Adrian is currently using (as of the final leg of TFP tour) the Voodoo Labs Ground Control Pro - as far as I know it has been used since TBOS tour (Adrian's rack now utilizing the GCX switcher as well as midi control for various effects units (has since added Line 6 HX effects probably for...

In the Aalborg 2006 live performance of Different World (Lick Library published this) - does anyone have any idea of what the modulation effect on Adrian's solo is? This particular recording of the solo has always been downright one of H's best 'sounding' in terms of his tone (in my opinion) -...

Davey also used a Victory amp in the studio, a V100 I believe. There's mentions of him using the V100 on tour as well for BoS Tour but I don't think he did.

Anyone got a lead from NAMM 2025 from Jackson or Fender if there are any updates for H and/or Davey signature models? Would be awesome to see a new model - or even just a new colour of same model? Dream for me would be H's signature but in a blue burst like the green one or perhaps black and...

On a slightly related note - I've heard lots of mention of this 1957 Strat of Adrian's but never seen a photo or read anything sort of 'official' about it. Do you know anywhere I could find this info?

I think on the first leg of TFP tour he was using an MG15 or 30 with built in effects, but the second leg it's a Marshall AVT50 - I think possibly a special edition as you can see in some of the recent clips on Instagram etc. that it has the UK flag emblem in the bottom corner of the grill...

It's noted in the listing that it was refinished in the 90's In the 1990’s the guitar was refinished from Sunburst to a beautiful Faded Orange by the renowned guitar refinisher, Dick Knight Workshops of Addleston, UK.

Yeah seems legit. Here is the Reverb listing https://reverb.com/item/44890107-1972-gibson-les-paul-custom-faded-orange-artist-owned-by-dennis-stratton-former-iron-maiden Letter of authenticity, photos of Dennis using it. $30k+ (its $56k in my currency!) is probably a fair sum for a guitar like...

The White V was the guitar Adrian wrote 'Back in the Village' but possible he did not record the song with it - as mentioned in previous posts most of that album (Powerslave) he used the blue burst Ibanez Roadstar with the single bridge pickup - would be awesome to see that again, I wonder if he...

There is other blue basses that have been used since the West Ham bass became the 'West Ham' bass - sorry, should have clarified that I just meant another bass with the blue finish - I think with British Lion he has used a blue sparkly/crackle finish bass ? That would be cool to see. The...

As the 2024 tour comes to a close soon - what guitars (realistically) would you like to see in 2025 for the RFYL tour? Being a big ol' Adrian Smith fan first and foremost, my picks are: - Gold Top (the Holy Grail) - Jackson Destroyer Replica - or the Ibanez he used in 2014? - Maybe a new colour...

I think it's possible - the HSH one being from 2017, but maybe it's had the HSH pickguard from the Black HSH Strat we've seen in recent years swapped into the white body.. The Zebra pickups.. Orr it could be another new one..

Interesting that he bought the SG while on tour, and promptly sent it off home after that one show - whereas the Tele has been in the rack the whole tour. Maybe it's just a warm up guitar in case Davey wants to do so... I'd doubt it would come out for any songs live...

Did Davey ever use the Henrik Charvel? I almost thought it might have been Colin's, maybe a gift from Davey?
