Adrian Smith

[Black Abyss Babe]

Maybe Adrian would be better to just publish a book of fish jokes. We'll all buy that ...

Spoiler

Eel be laughing all the way to the bank

 

[Brigantium]

To be fair, he could just steal it from here and put his name to it. I'll call Bazza....

 

[PhantomOfTheOpera]

Has anybody preordered the book yet, there's signed edition available?
Now Adrian could have his fishing and guitar-playing book tour aswell (similar to Bruce), or maybe he could invite Bruce along and they could have some song performances together?

Something of the sort has already been suggested here:

Double book tour at the end of the year please. Bruce doesn't want to stop his it seems and H could do one now. Coming to think of it, a book tour with Bruce and H with some acoustic numbers in between would be a banger IMO. There are quite a few songs that could work acoustically from either Maiden or Bruce's solo career. Wasted Years, Revelations, Jerusalem, Tears Of The Dragon, Journeyman, Children Of The Damned... Those would all work pretty well.

If it happens, Adrian, don't forget your acoustic guitar.

It all got a bit silly after that ...

Spoiler: ... but if we're going there again ...

Can anyone think of any fish puns we missed last time?

I would like to hear him singing Can I play with madness and Boys are back in town

 

[Black Bart]

For the record, Andy Makin (singer on Psycho Motel's Welcome To The World) has been answering all kinds of questions on the record on the Chris Dale-led Skunkworks Facebook page lately: https://www.facebook.com/groups/475767549944358

I can hear both in my head and I like it. Especially The Boys Are Back in Town. Feels like it'd fit Adrian's tone of voice perfectly.

He definitely sounds good singing Thin Lizzy songs.

"this is one we're gonna try and get you moving on, this one, it's a number recorded by Bob Seger, a number called Rosalie."

Nobody remembers the Bob Seger song. A bit like John Fogerty’s Rockin’ All Over the World.

Yeah, Rosalie is maybe the best ever cover in terms of how much it became more associated with the act covering it, All Along the Watchtower and your example are other contenders

But will there be any chapters about fishing...all kinds of fishing...and rock 'n' roll stories, too?

"It is a fishing book"

Oh shit!

Thankfully I have only paid a tenner for the signed edition.

Yeah I ordered both, I've more money than sense it seems

Adrian Smith's Ma is from Mayo! I did not know that.

EDIT: great little bit of new info, that Adrian wrote the harmony in Twilight Zone or that he wrote Back in the Village on the flying V he's playing now
