The Untouchables (one of Adrian's bands)

Found this on YouTube today. Interesting to see him NOT play guitar in some shots but instead dance and prance with a mic stand.

Sounds a bit like Thunder.

And here's Urchin's "She's a Roller" in its entirety - I'd only heard a snippet on 12 Wasted Years.

Ooohh.

On Facebook they advertise these fake band shirts. One of them is a print of Adrian Smith. If they weren't $40 and didn't look bodgie as fuck, I'd buy one. But I'd have to cut the sleeves off.

This unofficial MySpace thingo has three other Untouchables songs.

How awesome. He's got a pretty cool blues voice too. I can't figure out why Urchin were considered a metal band though. It doesn't even fit that description for the way it was defined at the time. They sound more like The Sweet than anything metal.

Yeah, just saw an advert for a Steve Clark one. Usually the only ads I see on Facebook (apart from Weight Watchers and Foxtel) are those for meeting hot women.

Strewth, 18 quid for one of those.

The Untouchables apparently used to do a version of Wasted Years, but at the speed Adrian intended when he wrote it (ie, somewhat slower than Maiden's version). Be interested to hear that, fer sher.

 

[Spiff]

Yeah, I was looking for that but to no avail.

i really liked that a lot!

one of you needs to track down the entire album for me!

 

[Spiff]

Which album - The Untouchables? They didn't do one. Pretty sure they turned into Psycho Motel after a line-up change or two.

I saw a guy in one of those Adrian screen print t shirts at a pub once and commented him on it. I think he got it off ebay. Pretty cool.
