  • This video was made in 1993 when Adrian had some time away from Iron Maiden.
    We did an albums worth of demos which may or may not see the light of day..
    This was a great band and i enjoyed playing drums in it.
    Excuse the zildjian t shirt , it was before my Paiste deal. LOL

    I didn't know about this until today, It was recommended in a YT comment and I found Bob's posting through YT search. This is such a gem, and gives us a better picture of how Steve Harris came to realize what a big mistake he'd made when he tried to force his will on Adrian, for his wonderful wilderness years were Iron Maiden's awful rock-bottom years.

    Adrian's playing guitar
    Adrian's not got his guitar
    Nope the guitar's disappeared
    There's the guitar
    Nope it's gone again
