There is something about the Adrian Smith compositions that tells you immediately he's the composer.
I had to turn off the automation that was meant to keep the sound level, well, level. Because the filters manage just as well without that c**p.
Oh, and listen well to the solos - there are some innovative things in there that will be lost for the period Smith left the band (between 1990 and 1999).
The 1986 Iron Maiden was:
Bruce Dickinson – lead vocals
Dave Murray – guitars, guitar synthesiser
Adrian Smith – guitars, guitar synthesiser, backing vocals
Steve Harris – bass, bass synthesizer
Nicko McBrain – drums
