ADRIAN SMITH WAS CALLED TO JOIN MAIDEN IN JANUARY OF 1980, EVEN SO HE DIDN'T ACCEPT, SINCE HE STILL BELIEVED IN A POSSIBLE SUCCESS OF HIS BAND " URCHIN ". AS THE THINGS DIDN'T WORKED, ADRIAN DECIDED JOIN TO THE BAND IN SEPTEMBER OF THE SAME YEAR, TO SUBSTITUTE DENNIS STRATON AT THE GUITAR, TO ASSUME BACKING VOCALS, AND TO RECORD THE ALBUM KILLERS. AFTER THAT CAME 10 YEARS, 8 ALBUMS, COUNTLESS SINGLES OF SUCCESSES AND 6 WORLD TOURS THAT LEFT FANS CRAZY ALL AROUND THE WORLD. BESIDES AN EXCELLENT GUITARIST, ADRIAN IS THE 3rd LARGER COMPOSER THAT MAIDEN HAS EVER HAD. H WROTE 15 SONGS, REPRESENTING 16% OF THE TOTAL OF THE BAND. (IN FRONT of HIM ARE BEUCE DICKINSON AND STEVE HARRIS)
