Member of the holy trinity that are the axemen of the great Iron Maiden. Smith's style greatly differs from his fellow counterparts, (Murray, Gers) for his legato playing is quick yet smoother and arranged to correlate to the given chord structure. His fast passages are closely complementary to his melodic solos which often are more influenced by blues scales.
With all technicalities aside, he is a bloody amazing guitarist and has had an indescribable impact on heavy metal culture.

Guitarist of Iron Maiden from 1981-1990, 1999-current. His rhythmic picking style, heavy metal-type tone, and blazing vibratos and solos have established him as one of classic metal's gods on the guitar. He also has a skill for writing songs, which is evident in "The Evil That Men Do," "2 Minutes to Midnight," and "Wasted Years."

The large object that hides inside Adrian's pants. Commonly referred to as the "Big John Special," Adrian's monster only comes out of hiding when hearing the mystical Mark Colby play jazz. Adrian's monster will begin to escape when smooth jazz is played and will later hide until the real Mark Colby reveals himself again.
