NOTP, those are some great pics. Adrian's white strathead Jackson, with the Engineer controls [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] is awesome! There's just something about a white guitar with a maple board.

Did anyone originally buy the cassette tape of Live After Death? Between 3 friends of mine, they must have bought that tape over 8 copies of it! The tape broke so easily cos it was such a long tape, but they kept buying it! Mine broke too, but I wised up and bought it on cd (my 1st one actually!). Still have it, just wish it had the Hammersmith songs like the cassette has.

It was released as a 2 tape set here in Oz. Side 4 was the Hammersmith performance. I was disappointed when the CD first came out and didn't have the Hammersmith songs. I believe the current version here is a 2 disc set, as NOTP described

Re: Iron Maiden Guitar Pictures?

ya know what sucks is that they didnt use any Jacksons on the live in rio DVD concert. that sucks!!! I would have loved to see some Jacksons on that DVD. What era did they use those Jacksons??? It seems I remembered they briefly used Washburns/Ibanez in the mid 80's too.

Janick is playing around with Adrian's white maple-board black-pickguard Jackson Strathead Strat backstage on the "Rock In Rio" disc. I couldn't configure my Windows Media Player 9 to play DVDs, so I couldn't make the vidcap from that... yet. When I figure out how, I'll make the vidcap. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

The Jacksons pictured were used between "Somewhere In Time" (mostly Adrian) and "No Prayer For The Dying" (mostly Dave), although the booklet for "Live After Death" says Adrian already had a Charvel. Then when Adrian was Bruce Dickinson's guitarist for Bruce's solo project, Adrian was known to use a black Jackson King V tuned to Drop-D I think.

Definitely Ibanez. "The Number Of The Beast" saw Adrian using his red Ibanez Destroyer and Steve using a blue Ibanez (maybe) Precision Bass lookalike, a Roadstar I think it was called. I don't ever recall them being endorsed by any single company, as they've played a lot of different brands throughout.

I wouldn't even know of the Canadian Lado guitars had it not been for Steve's Unicorn and Super Falcon basses and Adrian's Earth guitars around "Powerslave". Check out the Lados:

Lado Guitars - There's even a Steve Harris Unicorn.

Re: Iron Maiden Guitar Pictures?

I love that white Strat with all the controls on it too!!! Does anybody know if he still has it or who does???

[neilli]

Re: Iron Maiden Guitar Pictures?

From what I remember Adrian had a couple of single Hum San Dimas strat heads, but I can't remember the colours. He also had 2 white strats, an RR, a soloist (only seen one pic of that) and a KV. Dave had the red strat and (I believe) 2 white ones with small logos.
Apparently Adrian's favourite guitar is now his standard USA Floyd Rose strat.....

Re: Iron Maiden Guitar Pictures?

I remember seeing a Ibanez catalog with a pic of Dave in it playing a Ibanez V style guitar. anybody else remember that? 1985-87 era catalog.

Yea NOTP, I remember seeing the Jackson backstage on the DVD. COOL!!!!
ON the Rock in Rio dvd they all used Fender Strats on stage, and Adrian played a Les Paul once. I thought I heard they had a big Fender endorsement during that time. Is that correct or not?? Just curious.

Fun stuff!!!

Re: Iron Maiden Guitar Pictures?

I'm not 100% positive about the Fender endorsement, but there WAS that Fender Iron Maiden Stratocaster and the Steve Harris lake placid blue Precision Bass, both made in Japan, from a couple of years ago or so. I don't know if that counts as a signature line or an endorsement or whatever. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Iron Maiden Guitar Pictures?

If they do indeed have a Fender endorsement, I think it would a good move for Fender to slide them on over to Jackson or Charvel. You know the kids would dig it.

Re: Iron Maiden Guitar Pictures?

Yes, I agree it would be great to see them playing Jacksons!! [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

[Number Of The Priest]

Re: Iron Maiden Guitar Pictures?

Agreed! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Hopefully it would mean that Jackson will use the H/S/H pickup configuration! [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Wonder how Dave likes his current Wayne guitar used on the "Dance Of Death" album.

[neilli]

Re: Iron Maiden Guitar Pictures?

Dave only used Fender Strats with Floyds and 3 hotrails on the Dance of Death tour, the Wayne didn't make it for some reason.....?! That Iron Maiden signature Fender just never made sense to me - combining the features of 3 different guitars from 3 different players just seems a bit too much of a stretch to me....
