Check this out... From their "Rock in Rio" concert a number of years ago. Dave Murray, Adrian Smith, and Janick Gers prove that a Fender Strat isn't just for surf music or country music or blues/rock!

"2 Minutes to Midnight" - - check out Dave Murray's closeup solo at 2:35.

Great video thanks, ButchA. The Strats sound mighty fine, and it’s always a treat to hear Metal lyrics with clarity. IMHO

Murray most probably rocks something like that. Or something even hotter.

Done some researching and it seems that they use almost exclusively Seymours in their strats, either JBs, Hot Rails and Super Distortions.

Hot stuff.

Have always been a fan of Iron Maiden! Seventh Son of A Seventh Son to me is their best album, with Powerslave a close second.

Not to mention Steve Harris playing those galloping, driving bass lines on his P basses.

Been a Maiden fan for a long time, saw them on the Powerslave tour, still one of my favorite shows ever.

Maiden is doing a "greatest hits" tour with their current Legacy of the Beast Tour. they are currently in Europe, but are expected to hit the US hard in 2019. I saw them once in 2004 (or so) -- they were great. I am looking forward to catching them on this tour.
