Iron Maiden: Flight 666 Page #5

Adrian has always been a stickler

for getting the tones right that he wants.

He's meticulous.

He's like that in his playing.

When you listen to his guitar solos.

they're very precise.

Adrian's guitar playing is the stitching.

it's the texture. the fabric

that covers all the structures.

Nothing Adrian does is aggressive. Iike...

Everything lopes.

He picks notes out of the air like that.

And how he does it. no one knows.

only Adrian. 'Cause nobody else can do it.

I'm trying to be all serious.

I probably look...

Sorry.

I felt like sh*t before I went on. and then l

got some adrenaline going and I enjoyed it.

Contrary to belief. boys and girls.

Harris don't smack the sh*t

out of his bass guitar strings. he tickles 'em.

And I have it on good authority

he's a good tickler.

You are talking a load of bollocks.

More sh*t comes out of your mouth

than your arse. mate.

More sh*t?

Actually...

Are you coming for a drink. Steve?

Got some nice chilli.

Just about full.

You're fired. You can go home.

I thought you were gonna come with me

and film me in the bloody bath.

I have my limits.

You ought to do. mate.

Go on. bugger off. you.

See you later.

- Can't beat them.

- Bugger off.

I don't like being part of the group

all the time.

You need to be out. be an individual.

It keeps you fresh.

So when you've got the show the next day.

you're not all hung-over.

There he is.

Oh. my God.

How are you. mate?

I reckon I've known the guys for 25 years.

Their first tour here in Australia. Number

Of The Beast. we played tennis with them.

We've been friends ever since. really.

This is not easy.

Again.

Adrian a worthy opponent there. Pat?

A much better tennis player

than I am a guitarist.

We got a chance to play Pat Cash.

we had also Wayne Arthurs.

He had the fastest serve record for a while.

I had the audacity

to try and return one of his serves.

I was put firmly in my place.

That's in the movie.

Now. didn't you?

I'm gonna get your camera.

When you're on the road

as much as we are.

you don't want to sit in your hotel room

and mope or watch movies.

Everyone has their own activities

that they do. I think it keeps you sane.

Get out of the bloody way!

Get out of the bloody line!

A lot of bands go out there and put on

this image of staying up all night partying.

You can't go out and go crazy every night.

because the performance

for the next show would suffer.

Instead of spending six hours in the bar.

you can spend six hours on the golf course.

And then maybe an hour in the bar.

Not bad. Dave.

A bit hanging on the right side.

That kind of hurt.

Davey is the backbone of the band.
