IRON MAIDEN Guitarist ADRIAN SMITH On Writing "Wasted Years" - "If STEVE HARRIS Hadn't Heard It By Accident, I Would Never Have Played It To Him"

Speaking with Music Radar, Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith looked back on making the band's 1986 album, Somewhere In Time, which saw him write three songs for the record ("Wasted Years", "Sea Of Madness" and "Stranger In A Strange Land") As Smith tells it, he never intended to share "Wasted Years" with band leader Steve Harris.

Smith: "We were also trying new ideas with that album. I always wanted to make an album that sounded really produced - as opposed to kind of live with a little bit of little bit of fairy dust on it.

I got this Roland guitar synth out of the box from Japan, and when I switched it on it started making this crazy noise - and I just played along to it. It was like a rhythmic thing. So it gave me a song straight away. I had a little four-track demo of it, and it sounded a little bit like U2. You have ideas that you think maybe wouldn't suit the band, so I wasn't even going to play it to Steve, but he heard me playing it in a rehearsal, and he said, 'That’s good. We should do that.'

Steve’s funny like that. You might think he wouldn’t go for it, but he was like, 'Let's try it!' And because Bruce (Dickinson) wasn't around, I just dashed off the words as well. So it was written really quickly. But if Steve hadn’t heard it by accident, I would never have played it to him."

Iron Maiden's The Future Past World Tour 2024 wrapped up with their December 7 concert at Allianz Parque in São Paulo, Brazil. The band have released the new recap video below.

Says the band: "Thank you to everyone around the world for making The Future Past Tour one that we’ll never forget!"

Legendary Iron Maiden drummer, Nicko McBrain, has announced that he is stepping away from touring. He played his final show with the band on December 7 in São Paulo.

Iron Maiden shareed official video from the show, which can be viewed below.

Says Bruce Dickinson, addressing the audience, "Tonight is a very special night. As some of you, I think probably all of you will know, because this morning we announced, Nicko announced that he was stepping back from playing live with Iron Maiden. So, for 42 years Nicko's been in this band. He was a drummer before I was a singer, he was a pilot before I was a pilot, and now he's not leaving the band, but he's just not playing live with us anymore. If you do what you gotta do out there tonight, so let him know how much he's loved everybody. So, we have a lot more music to get to tonight, and I want the rest of the night to be a celebration of Nick, a celebration of the joy that he's brought to everybody around the world, not just here in Brazil, alright. And with that, on we go."

McBrain issued the following statement regarding his departure before the show:

"After much consideration, it is with both sorrow and joy, I announce my decision to take a step back from the grind of the extensive touring lifestyle. Today, Sat, Dec 7th, Sao Paulo will be my final gig with Iron Maiden. I wish the band much success moving forward.

"I will, however, remain firmly part of the Iron Maiden family working on a variety of projects, my long time managers, Rod Smallwood and Andy Taylor, have in mind for me. I’ll also be working on a variety of different personal projects and focusing on my existing businesses and ventures, including The British Drum Company, Nicko McBrain’s Drum One, Titanium Tart, and of course, Rock-N-Roll Ribs!

"What can I say? Touring with Maiden the last 42 years has been an incredible journey! To my devoted fan base, you made it all worthwhile and I love you! To my devoted wife, Rebecca, you made it infinitely easier and I love you! To my kids, Justin and Nicholas, thank you for understanding the absences and I love you! To my friends that are always there for me, I love you! To my bandmates, you made it a dream come true and I love you!

"I look into the future with much excitement and great hope! I’ll be seeing you soon, may God bless you all, and, of course, “Up the Irons!”

Manager Rod Smallwood on behalf of Iron Maiden:

“And we all love you too!!

"Thank you for being an irrepressible force behind the drum kit for Maiden for 42 years and my friend for even longer. I speak on behalf of all the band when I say we will miss you immensely!

"Ever since Rock in Rio in 1985 we have had a special relationship with Brazil so to bow out of touring in front of 90,000 fans here in Sao Paulo over 2 nights is poetic and you are deserving of all the accolades I am sure these marvellous fans will give you on this last show.

"Phantom look forward to many more years of working with you on the projects yo

Да почти весь альбом на грани с новой волной и AOR, только Harris' овские галопы не дают выйти альбому за пределы имени группы.

86 й в тройке любимейших у них.

Вот это прикол. (С)
Одна из лучших песен во всём металле, не то что у Iron Maiden.

"Wasted Years попала на альбом случайно", "Paranoid включили в альбом для добивки"... что дальше? "Smoke On The Water хотели забраковать из-за недоработанности"?)

Paffoss, На Heaven and Hell Neon Knights тоже в нагрузку попала. «Давайте придумаем быструю песню», резко написали её и добавили. А вещь крутая, вот для меня она как раз самая крутая хэви песня из 90-х

14 дек 2024

Termofucker

Вашингтон Ирвинг, А при чём здесь 90-е?

15 дек 2024

Вашингтон Ирвинг

Termofucker, 80-е, жирные пальцы задели не ту кнопку на клавиатуре) конечно 80-х, да, спасибо

Paffoss, Livin' on a Prayer попала на альбом в последний момент. То же самое касается Pull Me Under, вместо нее планировалась Don't Look Past Me (тоже хорошая песня, кстати).
Дофига подобных примеров

Paffoss, status quo - самую знаменитую песню в своей карьере in the army now планировали чисто для би-сайда на сингле . Это хоть и не их песня а кавер но всё равно почти весь мир узнал о группе от этой песни. Metallica - Escape ( 1984 ) была сочинена Хетфилдом за один день только потому что было недостаточно материала для альбома и Лейбл потребовал ещё одну срочно песню а ничего в запасе не было. Как потом он признавался я сидел и буквально выдавливал из себя по ноте а в голову ничего не шло .

olly71, Странно, что Metallica не любит Escape, там крутой (хоть и тупой) рифф в куплетах, особенно в конце. Ну и соляк охуенный, Хэмметт тогда красиво мог сделать

14 дек 2024

olly71

Paffoss, Кстати насчёт Smoke On The Water ты почти угадал . во первых она родилась очень спонтанно и была сочинена буквально за один присест . А года три назад я видел видео Блэкмора которое меня поразило . Он взял риф какого то своего любимого композитора прошлых веков ( фамилию забыл ) и проиграл его задом наперёд и получипся самый узнаваемых рок риф на все времена . Кто захочет найдёт это видео на ютубе.

Petrucci

olly71, Попадалась,кажется, эта статейка на дзене... но риф,все же,стопроцентный плагиат... Ну,как вариант, что пианист тот тоже в 65ом Бетховена наоборот прокрутил)))

Ей бы еще звук нормальный, с хорошим дж-дж-дж, а не эту фендеровскую прозрачную жижу на трех синглах, которую он эксплуатируют уже лет 30 и никак не хотят прекратить.
Песня классная. Но проигрыш из вступления явно затянут после второго припева.

14 дек 2024

gravitgroove

Nicolas444883, Там не дело в Fender, они не только их использовали, все дело в настройке усилителя и постпродакшне. Все делали, чтобы не утопить Харриса и его подобие слэпа. В 90е уже звук ярче и плотнее стал, но не скажи, что сильно тяжелее. Это просто выбор группы.

15 дек 2024

Tom Sawyer

Nicolas444883, Вы хотя бы спеки гитар Дэйва, Эдриана и Яника прочекали что ли для начала, прежде чем пургу такую писать про три сингла)))

Crane76

Nicolas444883, Норм ты высрал конечно. Во первых, хрен ты в миксе на дж дж отличишь синглы там или хамбы. Во вторых где ты увидел синглы на гитарах мейденов?)

19 дек 2024

gravitgroove

Crane76, не, ну он, наверное, рельсовый хамбакер у Мюррея с синглами спутал. Кстати, очень крутые датчики по звуку, но выглядят неубедительно на первый взгляд. А так вон посмотри на сетап на Лес Пол у Эйса Фрейли, а в итоге что? Сильно жирный и суровый саунд что ли?

19 дек 2024

Crane76

gravitgroove, Вот да) Ну и это довольно распространенное пионерское заблуждения, мол чтобы митол играть, нужны только хамбы и струн потолще))
