Iron Maiden - Adrian Smith Backstage 1987

@IronmaidenRgods 'he looks like he's ready for an assault' hahaha that comment made me crack up laughing

[iluvkochikame]

I've seen Adrian and Dave smoke backstage! I think Adrian does it rarely but Mr. Murray smokes quite a lot. Not sure bout Nicko. But 100% sure that Bruce, Steve and Janick don't.

[jozefthedick]

@iluvkochikame: Nicko used to smoke. I don't think he does anymore though.

[iluvkochikame]

@jozefthedick Ah, didn't know that. But when I got backstage passes to meet Maiden I saw Adrian and Dave smoke lol

[ManiacLobster97]

@iluvkochikame none of the members smoke now :)

[iluvkochikame]

@ManiacLobster97 Nah, I got backstage passes for Maiden in 2007 and I saw Adrian smoke!

[ManiacLobster97]

@iluvkochikame ok so like you said in your other comment that may have been one of the rare times but i am quite certain dave and nicko do not :)

[traviangeek100]

What is he smoking?

[jozefthedick]

@traviangeek100: It's a Cigarette.

I think this is 1986, in 87 his hair was very long (think of the interviews in 12 Wasted Years) and then came the infamous mullet and bad highlights.

[gsp227]

Adrian looks liek the biggest rebel here haha

[mainzelmann79]

i didn´t see a smoking scene in flight 666. where is it?

[lronmaidenRgods]

adrian looks like he is ready for an assault

[walker328]

@jozefthedick Adrian still smokes I think - theres a scene in Flight 666 where you see a cigarette sitting on an amp behind him, and a cloud of smoke around him as he's talking. You can tell he's smoking but they don't really show it.

[75LedZep]

Wow!! the first time i see an Iron Maiden member smoking :)))

[jozefthedick]

@75LedZep: Yeah. Adrian, Dave, and Nicko all used to smoke.

[starionpatrol]

Looks very much like 1987 when his mullett made its first appearances :p

[RickyboyH]

@starionpatrol Yup, you're correct.. During the 7th Son, tour, his mullet was even more crazy, and he'd dyed his hair to a ridiculous blonde-yellowish hue..

[sunsteel]

Who is the blonde haired guy who's talking to Adrian? Anyone know?

[zendakk]

@sunsteel Not sure, but Maiden were supported by Yngwie Malmsteen, Vinnie Vincent Invasion, and Waysted on the Somewhere On Tour '86/87, so it might be someone from those bands. The guy with beard looks very familiar..hmm..

[Ancutzamica1]

I also think this is from 1986-1987 ,during the Somewhere in Time Tour.

Thank you .

Adrian guitarist from God! "

[NickRusDrum]

..-At a time when Adrian was free until 1999, then it would be better suited for Deep Purple, as Morse

[NickRusDrum]

... Smoke on the scenes- And fire in the sky....

.. Smoke on the water-"Adrian instead of Morse...in way....

It's loud out there. Why that's rock 'n' roll! You said it.
