Adrian Smith reveals his current favorite Iron Maiden song to play

“My favorite song on ‘The Future Past’ set has been… Wow, this has been one of my favorite (tours) because I get a lot of room to express myself with my guitar playing. I’ve got a lot of solos, a lot of songs in the set. So, wow, ‘The Writing On The Wall’ is a good one. I like that.”

“When you play that opening chord, just a simple chord on the guitar, on the acoustic, the venue just goes quiet and they’re, like, ‘What’s coming next?’ I love that. And I love that pause. So that’s always a good song to play. And it gives me a bit more room, because it’s not so frantic pacing-wise. There’s a bit more space for me to sort of put a bit more feel into it. So, I do enjoy that song,” Adrian Smith said.

The band is currently formed by Adrian Smith (Guitar), Janick Gers (Guitar), Dave Murray (Guitar), Nicko McBrain (Drums), Bruce Dickinson (Vocals) and Steve Harris (Bass).
