Dave Murray & Adrian Smith — consider how “simple” that key change is halfway through the solos and yet… the mood of the song changes on a dime. It signals Murray to hand off to Smith. It gives them each their own spotlight. So iconic, you’ll know the song... show more

Possibly the best example of this is in “The Trooper” — except this time, it’s Smith who hands off to Murray and that key change becomes 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 because you now can’t imagine one solo without the other

I’m so glad I finally after all these years got to see them live this month!

I have an uncle who gave me a few Iron Maiden tapes when I was 11 years old. “Transylvania” was the first Maiden song I ever heard. It changed my life! Don’t worry, he is still a fan and we went to a Maiden show together on their “Final Frontier” tour. Full circle!

Dave Murray never seems to get the recognition outside of Maiden fans. He's been the guitarist on every album, and his playing is just as recognisably his as someone like Dave Gilmour or Brian May. My absolute favorite guitarist.

Their solos on The Trooper never fail to give me chills. Beautifully crafted, and that key change is pure genius – Smith's phrasing at that point is breathtaking.

The guitar work and tone on Live After Death make it one of the greatest, if not THE greatest live metal album of all time. A showcase of Dave and Adrian's legendary two guitar attack.

Such a blast to hear live, and an absolute cracker from my favourite studio album of all time.

my music composition professor always said when in doubt, modulate (change key). You can play more lines of melody and it sounds a tad different.

JayKeeley1 year ago

That’s right!! I don’t know music theory at all — but given how each guitarist has their own unique style, it just makes the switch from one to the other more ‘emphatic’ [Just remarkable that for the countless bands that try to mimic Iron Maiden, they miss these small details.]

Dave Smith Gives His Thoughts on the Douglas Murray Debate “He started out with a 40 minute struggle session for Joe Rogan that contained probably the longest stretched logical fallacy I've ever seen anyone open a debate with — just a naked appeal to authority … It just became clear as the show went on that Douglas Murray came to do anything but debate me.” 🎥 Dave Smith

I used to believe that the term "Woke Right" was a ridiculous label. I was wrong. This part of the Dave Smith VS. Douglas Murray debate proves that the Woke Right is real. And Douglas Murray is their leader.

If you're going to accuse your debate opponent of a logical fallacy, you better actually have an understanding of what that fallacy is. Douglas Murray repeatedly accused Dave Smith of appealing to authority for simply quoting people and trying to hang them with their own words. This was after Douglas Murray spent the first 45 minutes admonishing Rogan for not talking to the people Murray considers authoritative experts. This clip is also a great example of Murray's tactic of constantly interrupting Dave Smith in the middle of making a great point he can't refute by going on a nitpicky tangent to derail the conversation and avoid having to respond directly to it.

Douglas Murray (Douglas Murray) has an elitist mindset. He’s upset that Dave Smith (Dave Smith) is talking on Gaza without ever visiting. He only wants experts having opinions on topics. He’s a prime example of why we don’t trust the elite.

The brilliant Douglas Murray explains the Hamas war strategy to Dave Smith and Joe Rogan: "A force that not only doesn't follow the rules of war, but uses your following of the rules of war against YOU." What a refreshing episode. Thank you Douglas Murray.

In 1986 Iron Maiden — and in particular, Adrian Smith — gave the metal world its very own ‘Comfortably Numb’ moment. Smith is on record saying that it was the first Maiden song he wrote “with more space to play in” — and so he crafted this solo, channeling his inner David Gilmour

Douglas Murray v. Douglas Murray. We play a clip of Douglas Murray being appalled that Dave Smith was commenting on an issue where he had no lived experience. We also dug up a video of Douglas Murray refuting the argument of lived experience he was so adamant was necessary regarding Gaza.

Adam from PBD Podcast debated Dave Smith on Piers Morgan. My take? Adam kept it simple and didn’t let Dave off the hook. He kept hammering Dave on his wild claim that the U.S. military are “the worst terrorists in the world” — and every time Dave tried to dodge or redirect, Adam dragged it right back. Pure accountability. Most people wiggle out of ridiculous statements. Adam refused to let that happen. You don’t have to be an expert on every topic to win a debate. Spot the weak point, demand real evidence, and when they try to dodge and deflect—drag them straight back to it. Hold the line. Adam 🆘 Sosnick 👏 Piers Morgan Uncensored Dave Smith
