Adrian Smith

Stumbled upon this interview with Andy Makin from 2018 that had some interesting behind-the-scenes info about Psycho Motel’s Welcome To The World, as well as some of Makin’s post-Psycho work.

WTTW is an underrated album for its style. It seems like they didn't release 2 songs from the 1997 writing sessions and maybe Rain and Underground (the latter is great) are leftovers from the previous album. Iirc, a demo from that era was called ''Winter's Child''. Into The Black is Drop C!

Steve really liked the album? I never knew that. Like AOB and TCW. Come to think of it, I'd have liked to hear another album from the 1997 lineup of Psycho Motel. But Adrian joining Bruce's band was the right move.

Also, here’s a playlist for Henry’s Child’s Satellite Trampoline 3, the only album Makin recorded with the band, which came immediately after Psycho Motel.

Thanks for sharing the interview.

Andy sent me a copy of the Henry’s Child album some years ago. Such a nice guy!
