well well well, all of you seem to be, big iron maiden fans I would like to know some things that I dont know about iron maiden
first can someone tell me why did Adrian smith leave the band for no prayer for the dying and janick gers enter in his place, and also I would like to Know why did bruce dickinson left iron maiden on x factor and virtual XI???
* Adrian Smith left the band in January 1990 to pursue other things. He also
was becoming more uncomfortable with his performance in Maiden, especially
when songs couldn't be played perfectly, or if the show went off with
little hitches here and there. You gotta figure that he also wanted a
change of scenery, after a little more than 9 years in the band. His next
musical project was A.S.A.P. (Adrian Smith and Project), and was quite a
bit different than his typical Maiden stuff. It was a pretty amicable
split from what I understand. He also made a guest appearance during
the closing song, Running Free, when Maiden headlined the Monsters of
Rock in August 1992. This has been recorded on the Donington video and
the double CD/triple LP Donington Bootleg.
* Bruce Dickinson left Maiden in September 1993, to pursue his solo career
and other projects, spend more time with his family, and to do other
things, like maybe another book, more fencing, and to take a break in
general. and to learn to fly airplanes
* Blaze Bayley left the band in February 1999, after a lengthy period of
rumours on the band's decision to reunite with former vocalist Bruce
Dickinson. Not only did Bruce return, but he also took Adrian Smith
(former IRON MAIDEN guitarist) with him.
