Irene Luna i dislike how fans think they own artists, the artists did not force them to buy the records or go to their concerts, the fans just simply wanted to, artist are humans and they are free to do whatever they please, what? because you spent 100 dollars worth of merch you think you put them where they are? one day try not to put them where they are and they will probably still be there. "fan".
@@hasselmania And I dislike people like you who thinks that musicians are where they are without their fans! Without the fans, musicians would not be able to make any money from playing music and they would have to get another job, to pay their bills and food! Your comment is very ignorant!
"go away, make a cup of tea...famous for it!" I think all of maiden love that film as I just saw an interview where Dave said his new Marshall amps go up to 20! 😂😂😂...and they actually did!!! 😂
@thewildbruce5612, I agree with you!! but he is also the greatest guitarist of the entire world (at least for me), he is my biggest influence as a guitar player.
There's a live DVD called Death On the Road (and it's great.) It includes a bonus DVD in which they are in the studio making the previous album, Dance of Death. In fact, Adrian makes the same Spinal Tap joke! Standing the same room in the same studio!
H is the best guitar player that I’ve ever seen, he has a unique style, has the best Maiden solos and has written great songs, also, my biggest influence as a guitarist!! Adrian is God!! Truly the best Maiden guitarist.
Maybe, but Jackson had already designed it for him but he was testing it on tour so he can give feedback to Jackson on how they can improve it, the only reason it was a big deal is because that was the only version of the guitar at the time before they started production, they sell them on a production line now.
oh yes, i agree totaly with you. Adrian Smith & Dave Marray, so many good songs together, the trooper, 2 minutes to midnight, aces high, with you again(psycho motel)
@spudvader86 Spot on....and he still plays it....saw him using it in Bristow, Va last year. If you go back to older Iron Maiden footage, you can see the guitar's original configuration with two mini-humbuckers before Adrian modified it.
I THINK and I'd have to check that but this is from a bonus DVD that came with a certain edition of 'A Matter of Life and Death' as I do remember seeing this somewhere before.
@drappoc08 remember that it's 275 quid in 1975 money. A 59 Les Paul "only" cost about 300 dollars back in 59, but i guess that would be equal to about 2500 dollars today or something :)
Traduction en francais: Journaliste: Adrian!! Bonjour Adrian: Bonjour Journaliste: Dit nous qu'est-ce aujourdui Adrian: C'est le jour de B-sides!! Journaliste: moment joyeux Adrian: oui hahaha j'adore hahaha. oui on va s'amuser bon blabla il dit qu'il a pas voulu faire une chanson de ZZ-top puis il parle pour sa les paul qui est une guitare qu'il a acheter quand il avait 17 ans (aa il doit faire attention qu'il ne se la fasse pas cambrioler!)et voila
Now that you mention it, I'd love to here Adrian having a go at "Couldn't Stand The Weather". Judging from the mini humbucker in the neck position, it was originally a Les Paul Deluxe. £235 sounds crazy, but in the early 80s, a regular goldtop could be bought for £150. Guitars were really "unfashionable" at that time.
Yeah just the bridge side was routed for a PAF size humbucker. Just for looks I'd rout the neck position as well, and then drop in one zebra and one double-cream (exposed coils.) What a player Adrian, he doesn't even care what year this LP is, and he could have ANY Vintage Gibson he wanted! (Like a converted '55 or '56.)
@lolzmaster33 It looks like a gold top Les Paul Deluxe with mini humbuckers but it has been modified at the bridge position to fit a full sized humbucker. Hope this helps : )
@Isilhin Yup. Actually, if you've seen the documentary thing that's on Death on the Road about making the DoD-album, Adrian pulls a very similar joke/reference, and I guess he's "mirroring" it here. :D
@svartegraabein Unless you have the serial number, it could be quite difficult to find out, but i guess the first LP deluxe's with mini HB's were made in 69 or something?
@TheGreatGuitarist1 I bought that CD when it came out and it also came with a DVD. =] I think it only came with the DVD when the album was first released, but I'm not sure.
Daryl C If it wasn't Adrian's personal guitar, it would be worth about 3-5k being it's a modified 70's deluxe gold top. Regardless that instrument is pretty rad.
a "paf" (which stands for Patent Applied For) pickup was gibsons attempt at a noise (hum) canceling pickup which plagued all single coil pickups. the paf was the original humbucker (as it is more widely known today). the dimarzio super distortion pickup is nothing more that a humbucker with different magnets and more windings. it is much more active or "hotter" than an original paf. original gibson paf's and gibson "t-top" humbuckers are HIGHLY sought after due to their incredibly rich tone.
For sure. Although I wouldn't spend 5k on a set of PAFs, there are some darn nice repro's for a few hundred a set. Seymour Duncan Seth Lover and Antiquity are a nice PAF-like repro humbucker. In the Seventies people were throwing away good PAFs to put in the more powerful Dimarzio SD's, so sometimes PAFs are found in parts bins or on old junk guitars they were thrown onto to 'recycle' them. Worth double-checking if you think you recognize them. The early-Gibson mania is really quite something, but it has driven the playable vintage gear right out of the market, you would never gig super-valuable collector gear. Even a '68 Goldtop with a solid back and one-piece mahogany neck, it's too valuable to play in a club (I saw a super cool one for about 6k 9years ago, I knew it was rare and would only go up in value and I would just worry about it.)
@avv3s0m3 the Les Paul is the first guitar he bought, the one he learned to play on was one he had from Dave Murray, with a 2 inch high string action. So they both learned to play on a shitty guitar, then they bought better ones.
love how he's still so down to earth. not like so many Rockstars that forget that the fans r the ones that put them where they're at
So true great guy.\m/
***** Yes agreed!\m/

Owns his 1st guitar still. Adrian hasnt sold out .legend
Its a gibson les paul though...thats like having a merc as your first car or whatever
1:01 did he say he worked on building site in summer to buy that Gibson guitar? Adrian, always my hero :)
No, he sold his body for sex in order to afford that guitar. Still, probably the best guitar he’s ever played.
I love this guy. Thumbs up to ADRIAN SMITH, The artillery of Harris
MANNNNN...i fall in love with this gold les paul when i saw Live After Death, today, i have one gold les paul, not gibson! He's my guitar hero
loving Ade's Spinal Tap reference!
"go away, make a cup of tea...famous for it!"
I think all of maiden love that film as I just saw an interview where Dave said his new Marshall amps go up to 20! 😂😂😂...and they actually did!!! 😂
You can go have a bite and (Waaa!) you'll still be hearin' that...
And I also love how Bruce looked so much like Nigel Tufnel (Spinal Tap's guitarist) in the 80s! 🤣
The vid starts with a Strat and ends with a Gold Top Les Paul.
Dave and Adrian are guitar legends.
What a duo !!
Adrian Smith is truly the greatest guitarist in Iron Maiden!!! 🎼🎵🎶🎸🤘🏻🤘🏻

Adrian is very important member of IRON MAIDEN! He's a fantastic guitar player,
singer and song-writer!
It was his signiture Jackson model, but it was the prototype so they hadn't started producing them yet so it was extremely valuable and unique.
A fantastic guitar player....
Adrian 4ever
One of my biggest inspirations! Great guy and musician.
Adrian is my man!!!! So amazing!!!! Up the irons!!!!
H is the best guitar player that I’ve ever seen, he has a unique style, has the best Maiden solos and has written great songs, also, my biggest influence as a guitarist!! Adrian is God!! Truly the best Maiden guitarist.
A great guy,an awesome guitarist and an awesome songwriter...and he can sing too!

Man....Adrian is such a Cool Guy....love him
love his axcent
It's also funny because he makes the same Spinal Tap reference on the studio documentary from the PREVIOUS album! XD
HE'S A LEGEND!
@asitinormaln A "sustainer" is a device which can be fitted to a guitar to indefinatly sustain a note or notes
you can also see bruce playing it on revelations in dortmund
oh yes, i agree totaly with you. Adrian Smith & Dave Marray, so many good songs together, the trooper, 2 minutes to midnight, aces high, with you again(psycho motel)
@spudvader86 Spot on....and he still plays it....saw him using it in Bristow, Va last year. If you go back to older Iron Maiden footage, you can see the guitar's original configuration with two mini-humbuckers before Adrian modified it.
I fucking love this guy.
He is the fucking best guitarist of all time ! What a legend.
@TheGreatGuitarist1 i think this was during the recording of matter of life death album somewhere around 2006 2007
He also used another Destroyer back in 1981, you can see him pictured with her in the Killers booklet. They sounded great.
@TheGreatGuitarist1 YES. if you buy the album there's a free dvd with it that shows the band recording the album. steve harris is the boss
or covers that go along with singles releases. In fact, all B-sides are on singles releases.
I THINK and I'd have to check that but this is from a bonus DVD that came with a certain edition of 'A Matter of Life and Death' as I do remember seeing this somewhere before.
yes, that's true... but what ever, he's great. he is an inspiration for me, like Stevie Ray Vaughan
@drappoc08
remember that it's 275 quid in 1975 money. A 59 Les Paul "only" cost about 300 dollars back in 59, but i guess that would be equal to about 2500 dollars today or something :)
@arrestedshrimp It makes a huge difference. 40 years ago people would have only earned £100 a MONTH in a regular office job.

les paul is a beautiful guitar!!
It's from the Matter of Life and Death DVD.
i met adrian at a gas station south of trondheim before their show ;D it was just me and him.. i freaked out.. he was very nice!
Yeah just the bridge side was routed for a PAF size humbucker. Just for looks I'd rout the neck position as well, and then drop in one zebra and one double-cream (exposed coils.)
What a player Adrian, he doesn't even care what year this LP is, and he could have ANY Vintage Gibson he wanted! (Like a converted '55 or '56.)
adrian had a destroyer in the 80s. look at the trooper video
@CornSw - That's because "best guitarist" lists aren't worth the paper they're printed on.
@lolzmaster33 It looks like a gold top Les Paul Deluxe with mini humbuckers but it has been modified at the bridge position to fit a full sized humbucker. Hope this helps : )
I didn't know Adrian liked Randall amps.
@avv3s0m3 No.... His first guitar was a woolworths top twenty and he bought it off dave murray for £5 when he was fifteen
@FazSaber Yeah but it was '60s or '70s , so, the pound had different value than today.
@Braddurs yeah you are correct
Adrian....you are a god for me!!
Someone care to tell me how the fuck this has over 200,000 views, and yet the whole interview about the AMOLAD has only got a few thousand?
@Isilhin Yup. Actually, if you've seen the documentary thing that's on Death on the Road about making the DoD-album, Adrian pulls a very similar joke/reference, and I guess he's "mirroring" it here. :D

@mattallica464 still, its a really nice guitar and probably worth about 3-5k today
Kim Jong-il It’s Adrian Smith’s first guitar and one that he’s used to record several classic albums. I’d say it’s worth much more than 3-5k.
Daryl C If it wasn't Adrian's personal guitar, it would be worth about 3-5k being it's a modified 70's deluxe gold top. Regardless that instrument is pretty rad.
@@dchakravarthy3254 Yeah. It would be worth MORE than 4-5k even if it had NOT been Adrian's guitar, because it's cool as hell!!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
@paulonapolion Amazing! You've noticed it too!
@meregistroporquesi
Your comment cheered me up, thx!
Adrian looks like 10000 more cooler with the les paul! and much more cooler when u know the meaning behind it :)
What were the B sides from this album? Did they ever release them?
Mi preferido desde Barcelona
@asitinormaln He's making a reference to the movie "Spinal Tap" (a classic, go see it!).
Can you see the Randall amp head over the marshall cab? Somehow I thought that he was using marshalls for a lifetime

235 pounds is like 1500 dollers! not bad for a goldtop
Dave used Deans back in the day but they Adrian mostly uses Jacksons now
omg that guitar is now abt 2000
Someone stated that its a DiMaggio super distortion in the bridge, but looking at the pickup itself, it looks more like a PAF. Any info?
@arrestedshrimp when he was 17 you could buy a loaf of bread with a penny and get change...
obviously adrian loves SPINAL TAP!, and for sure his marshall amps volumen is up to 11!!!!
@vanfullofretards666 It is...
@PEDROCLASSIC okay :) but is there some kind of DVD with it :D
Adrian - No! dont touch it
Camera man - Im not , im just looking at it, can i atleast look at it?
Adrian No You've seen enough of that one.
is Kevin Shirley the one that is talking
@vidman520
okay thanks :D
The spinaltap quote at the end is funny... "listen to that sustain"
@patton303 He knows that. He was making a Spinal Tap joke.
I liked the Spinal Tap reference.
@PEDROCLASSIC i am from denmark can that have any influence on it ?
Spinal Tap reference WIN
i wish i could buy a gold top for 235 quid :P
HAHA Adrian is so awesome man!! haha
UP THE BLOODY IRONS!!!
Adrian always reminded me Stan Laurel 😂
anyknow ever heard the lizzy song?
adrians really got an awesome personality.. not obnoxious like the metallica folks... he seems like a nice guy.. almost too nice for metal :S
the sustain :D
@PEDROCLASSIC
arghhhh i have the CD and there is no DVD with is :( and there is only the tracks on the CD :(
Awaiting Maiden's next album
@ThizzUpThaNazal you might already know by now, but he says "and i think a ZZ top song"
wtf did the cameraman say at 0:30 pls?
Yup. Ditto.
@spudvader86 haha really thanks man :)
the best
@paulonapolion
you´re 100 % wright
What is Gers saying in the back?I cant listen!
guitar GOD
@avv3s0m3 the Les Paul is the first guitar he bought, the one he learned to play on was one he had from Dave Murray, with a 2 inch high string action. So they both learned to play on a shitty guitar, then they bought better ones.
Same here. There so inspiring! lol
Can somebody please explain the sustain joke to me? Thanks
Watch the mockumentary Spinal Tap. Then you will understand.
Adrian=God
what are you talking about?
