One of Dave's many appealing qualities is how understated he is. Just this ordinary looking, cool and apparently easy going fella that is an absolute beast at his chosen craft. No bullshit, no mouthing off or histrionics. Just gets on the stage gig after gig and delivers - every time. Legend.

[@godetonter4764]

No one looks as unique as David Murray, and his playing is probably even more unique than his appearance. I think that he may be the greatest guitar player in history. His tone and sustain is so atmospheric. Without David Murray and Steve Harris Iron Maiden would sound like a different band. The lead in 22 Acacia Avenue is my favorite , not sure it's David Murray, but I am sure he's the writer of the lead

My favourite one is the one on Piece of mind album in the song called Where eagles dare..i love the expressionality and pathos in that solo and the great use of tremolo bar, maybe it's not the most elaborate and complex in terms of technique but that's what I love the most..however, Dave is one of those guitarman that made me want to learn to play the guitar, he is expressive, passional like few others in the world, i adore his legato technique thst is very hard to perform... maximum respect for a great guitarist..

[@SnakePlissken1966]

Dave fluidly hits his solos from the rhythm section

[@demokraatti]

Talking about legato and fluidity. Such a recognizable style. Dave’s soloing and Nicko’s drumming have a lot in common.

[@steveharris6711]

i love Dave's playing and tone, most of the time!! Powerslave is right up there for both his solos. After Adrian left i think Dave started to change his playing, by trying to play faster and put more notes in. You hear that a lot on the fear of the dark album and the 2 Blaze albums. He's improved on albums from Matter of Life and Death again, but live he hasnt bettered his palying since Maiden England in 1989.

[@princeofpcos9804]

Always thought of him as the technician and Adrian as the blues/feel guy

[@63mckenzie]

I remember seeing Maiden right at the beginning and even then they were head and shoulders above nearly everyone, including a lot of headline acts.

[@tenkarlos]

[@jamesbaker5817]

[@Lark_]

At the beginning I thought Dave Murray was the best. But later on, my favourite guitarist became Adrian Smith. It's true Dave is an amazing guitarist, and he has been in every single Iron Maiden album. But for my personal taste, "H" has the best phrases on guitar.

[@bread6085]

[@Rebel-Rouser]

Dave is one of the most underrated guitarist in the Rock and metal world...

[@josephlegg1604]

Totally agree mate. He is pukka the band is on god status for me

[@saulocpp]

He is not underrated in any way. There is however serious "competition" out there, and comparing to innovators like EVH, YJM, Vai, Lifeson, Morse, it is difficult to find a spot at the top, even more when mentioning big dogs like Beck, Blackmore, Iommi and Angus. All IM 3 are great, but what they do, others had already done.

[@roiben-yehuda5642]

Dave's solo on Powerslave is one of the most beautiful leads I've ever heard.

There you go! I second that, that is definitely my favorite as well. Dave is my favorite guitarist in the band (though, I love all the guys) and his solo's in Powerslave, especially the Live After Death version, are the ones that I am always drawn too.

[@acesup5845]

After seeing Iron Maiden a couple times in high school back in the early 80's I can tell you without a doubt the best solo he ever did was the one that started when he walked on stage and ended when he walked off at the end of the night.

[@AcedeKlown]

Dave Murray is the reason why I wanted to learn to play guitar 25 years ago. I can watch him play solos for hours, the way his fingers flow on the fretboard is a thing of pure beauty

[@RoadRashHD]

He doesn't always play his recorded solos note for note for note like Adrian does. But he can shred for sire. I have a Dave Murray Wrist band that is full stage worn, on the Book Of Souls tour here in Vancouver BC Canada. And its from his right wrist

[@stuartleckie]

I’d go further, and say he doesn’t ever play the solos as they were recorded. And also that his style means he can even play those differently over the years. Talented guy, and cool that you got a wrist band. I got a signed drum skin from Edmonton 😃

[@tiffisbest]

Gotta say the speed they play live compared to studio recordings is amazing. Dave is the epitome of heavy metal guitarists. Followed by Adrian Smith.

[@SomewhereInTheMaidenverse]

I’ve always been most drawn to Dave’s playing. He is right at that sweet spot of being a really confident player, yet he has no ego. He is as humble as can be. No one’s legato is like his. His playing just gets more gorgeous as the years go on. I love his live solo improvs and how he just lets it all flow out of him. He has such a command over his guitar when he plays. I love all of his solos and would never to be able to pick a favorite!

[@IggyBing]

Well said. His legato is amazing but his ability to improvise is equally phenomenal.

[@toxsin2207]

He's absolutely the greatest guitarist alive and my all time favorite.

[@dimitergeorgiev1891]

In my opinion, Judas Be My Guide is Dave's most technical and unique for his guitar technique solo. I really like the Rock in Rio live version of his solo in Sign of the Cross. However, solos like the one in Powerslave and the Parchment have the power to make you become empathetic to the story of the song as a whole. And his interlude in the Nomad is one of the greatest Maiden melodies ever. It plunges you into a mix of mystery and surrealism - an absolutely remarkable piece of art. Dave is an excellent songwriter as well - The Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg is the ultimate proof for this statement. Overall, Dave is a great person and an amazing musician!

[@marcellointraina7699]

Idem for Sign of the Cross, Rio version. Fantastic, very clear and strong tone.

[@samuelgirard1407]

So much feeling in his solos. So many to choose from but my favorites from him are Hallowed Be Thy Name, Where Eagles Dare, Charlotte the Harlot, 22 Acacia Avenue, Powerslave, (I know it's short) but what he does on Flight of Icarus, & Still Life doesn't get the attention it deserves. He said on an interview one time when asked what he thought his best playing was on? He said, "Killers". That's hard to argue.

The first time I saw live after death, I was mesmerized and still am, after all of these years Steve and Dave are the cornerstones that cannot be replaced, EVER!!!

Been a Maiden fan since the first time I heard them in 1985. Maiden is the only band I'll listen to live music on my radio. They sound the same live as they do in a studio. I've seen several hundred bands live (I used to work medical at several venues). Nobody puts on a show like Maiden and nobody sounds as clean as they do live. Awesome video.

[@paullisakguitar]

Killers and number of the beast...Best albums by a very long way. His solos on NOTB and Run to the hills...iconic. Always loved his playing, and yes, underrated by the guitar world

[@amoruzz]

The smartest decision Harris ever made was to get Davey back in the band and Harris continued to make good decisions for the band ever since. Harris and Murray's chemistry alone, not too mention with Adrian and the other's is just phenomenal. Few bands get on as well as these lads do and the musical depths or arrangements that they plunge into just in the middle of one song is incredible and tight. All members are each individually crucial to the Maiden sound, imo. Back in the day, I was concerned when Clive Burr was let go and I love Burr's drumming (RIP), that it would hurt the band, but Nicko brought even more to the band with his energy, passages and persona. Tis, truly one of thee greatest sounding rock/metal bands of all time. Up the Irons!

[@LordLuggage]

My only disagreement would be the words 'one of' - they are THE greatest metal band of all time.

[@afsoc4629]

As a drummer I would love to hear Nicko perform in a workshop setting. That being said as a musician and Maiden fan, Dave would be my no hesitation choice if I could sit and shoot the shit with anyone in the band. He should be a household name alongside Page, VanHalen, and Hendrix.

[@feumachado3116]

I absolutely love his style and for me his best solo is on Total Eclipse, which was co-written by him and happens to be my favorite Iron Maiden song 😁

[@Nghilifa]

Maiden literally wouldn't have been around today if it weren't for Davey. When Bruce quit in 93, Steve wasn't sure if he wanted to continue, but in a band meeting (before Blaze was hired) Dave took the word and basically said and I'm paraphrasing: "bollox to Bruce quitting, we're not going to stop just because he wants out" or words to that effect. His words were strong enough to convince Steve (who's notoriously stubborn) to continue on, which says a lot. Davey is Steve's right hand man he's the guy Steve can ALWAYS count on. Dave doesn't write much lyrics, Adrian, Bruce & Janick also have higher riff/lyric/song-output than him (Bruce has the sole credit for the song Powerslave for example), but his role within the band cannot be underestimated. He's the glue that binds everything together (aside from Steve) as far as I'm concerned.

Whats up Mr. Metal Pilgrim, love your youtube channel, yes yes the one and only legendary Mr. Dave Murry of IRON MAIDEN, what an awesome guitarist and by far one of heavy metal music`s founding forefathers, one of my personal favorites as well. It just so happens that my very first concert i attended was none other than Iron Maiden, and the Scorpions, this was way back in 1982 at the long beach arena when i was still in high school, crazy thing is Iron Maiden opened for the Scorpions as they weren't even the headliner yet but they sounded magnificent non the less, Scorpions were on there Blackout tour and Maiden was The Number Of The Beast tour, they were both fantastic performers as well as extraordinary musicians, even though I'm 56yrs old i still remember that show very clearly and with great fondness, the first band that came on stage was a chic band called Girlschool, which i never heard of until that night (i honest to God thought they were guys at first) back in those days all the metal bands were wearing all that makeup and spandex stuff so it was tough sometimes trying to make out who exactly was who, yah know!. Ah! Oops!!! Sorry to ramble on, i love Iron Maiden and i love your youtube channel, and yes Dave Murry is an one of a kind awesome, phenomenal guitarist and musician.

[@Lou_Mavs]

I admit - growing up, I was a Murray loyalist, and I appreciate him still to this day. I think he’s an untouchable guitarist. Great feel and technique. However, I’ve grown more accustomed to Adrian’s style of playing. His phrasing and melody are impeccable, and as a guitarist, I find inspiration in his playing. I even own a Jackson Adrian Smith model. All three guitarists in Maiden offer something different - Gers with melodic runs, Murray with his ferocity, and Smith with his phrasing. Al in all, a great team. For me, Smith is my guy, but Murray (like Harris) is the original and the standard bearer. All due respect to Dennis Stratton - him and Murray were the right team for the debut. Great channel and content you have here.
