Iron Maiden - Reach Out

Iron Maiden B-Side Reach Out Video from the Wasted Years Single with Adrian Smith on lead Vocals & Bruce Dickinson doing backing vocals on the chorus

[@thieryleo314]

This makes me kinda sad that iron maiden never used Adrian Smith's voice in their main songs. Him and Bruce make a great team.

[@gostillerz]

I always wanted to hear Adrian sing Wasted Years. He's got a good voice. Clearly not the range Bruce has, but he could bring an additional element into the band.

[@robinhut5359]

The 1986 was Adrian Smith's year. He wrote by himself 3 of 8 songs on "Somewhere in Time" album (in that way, after Steve Harris, he became the most profitable song-writer in Maiden history), which 2 of them became singles with his own solos (as far as I remember, solos in Maiden's songs were played always by duet Smith-Murray or only by Murray (like in "Run to the Hills)). And also his lead vocals on "Reach Out" from Wasted Years B-Side. Greatest time for Adrian as a musician.

[@melovemusic69]

Yeah and its why he left after seventh son. He thought he could do it in his own. That was a huge mistake, but it did result years later with two great albums with Bruce , accident at Birth and Chemical Wedding.

[@ghostlyphantasm2352]

@@melovemusic69 It wasn't a huge mistake, it's all cool and easy to look on from the outside. I actually prefer some of adrians solo stuff as maiden - to me at least and im a minority - is better than maidens last 4 albums. Especially the last with awful guitar tone.

@@matheuscosta5608 ela é um dos b-sides do disco, saiu no single da Wasted Years.

[@MrTcravens]

It seems like Adrian Smith's profile in the band was really being pushed during this period. The Somewhere In Time album featured three songs written solely by Adrian - this being significant because they are the first and only songs written solely by him - two of them being the albums singles, with "Wasted Years" being one of the bands most popular songs. He is also credited with backing vocals on the initial pressings of the album, most notably on "Wasted Years." "Reach Out" is the only lead vocal Adrian has recorded with Iron Maiden, and was featured as the "B" side of the "Wasted Years" single. Adrian also contributed two other songs that, although written by other people that he was doing a side project with, were recorded by Iron Maiden and used as "B" sides ("That Girl" and "Juanita"). Adrian could have been the lead vocalist in any other band, but when you have Bruce Dickinson, Maiden had that spot covered.

[@kili1985]

+t. joseph cravens Adrian has not been pushed, he just came up with extremely good songs, his material always had some serious quality. Bruce was kind of exhausted after the World Slavery Tour and his musical ideas were not good enough, so it simply was Adrians turn on SIT. Also I'm convinced that he was the one to chose or craft the guitar tone on this album, he was even mixing it down with Martin Birch, thats why this album sounds so great.

[@MrCapone1996]

+kili1985 i think people forget Adrian was a key quality member to the band, the minute he left their albums were shit even with Bruce but the minutr he came back they made decent albums, hell actually awesome to some

[@gmr9701]

He also play most of the solos in somewhere in time

[@mattstowell8481]

Adrian is Maiden's secret weapon. He's an extremely important member of the band and they sorely missed him while he was gone. I was really glad he returned, just a shame he has to share his guitar work with Janick now (not hating on Janick BTW!!)

[@Admiral_Pumpout]

That Girl is a song by the AOR band called FM from the album Indiscreet. I actually prefer the FM version which I believe got a rewrite shortly before the album’s launch by which time Adrian & Co. had recorded the Maiden version so they sound totally different but the lyrics remain the same.

Adrian always struck me as more as a rock guy than a metal guy. He still wrote and continues to write some monster songs for maiden tho. Good on him for talking the guys into recording this, it's a welcome change to their style and shows how versatile they are....

[@fourcrippledhorses]

He made some killer ass metal with Bruce though, it's just all about who's around him, I think. On his own he veers rock but with someone like Steve or Bruce around he makes some stellar metal and hard rock, it's like that with a lot of bands, just one element transcends whatever the people would play on their own

[@downshifter2730]

Lee Abraham if you listen carefully to his playing you'll realize that he has actually the most most 'metal' guitar playing. He created many harder songs with bruce.

Oh man, what a nostalgia trip. This was one of my favourite maiden songs as a kid. Been too long since I heard it! But as many don't know, probably the reason it was not included on their album (other than it's more of a pop rock song) was that it's not written by anyone in the band, but Dave Colwell (from Bad Company, Samson, ASAP etc.)

From what I remember, this is a Adrian Smith song, that he wrote when he left Iron Maiden and formed A.S.A.P., it was he's first single. I believe it stood for Adrian Smith and Project? He had Bruce sing backing vocals on a couple of songs. And Adrian also played guitar on Bruce's solo project, especially on Accident of Birth album. Maiden, adopted this song, but never played it live from what I've understood. Still, one of my favorite Smith/Maiden songs, its certainly a departure from Maidens songs.

Sounds like another great maiden song

[@puckdropper27]

I love Maiden and I always come back to this song and it never gets old.. what a great song that is still undiscovered by most people

[@jetydosa1]

I think the guy singing lead should let the backup singer do more of the lead vocals. (kidding)

Text from Iron Maiden's 'Best of the B sides' booklet: This song was written by a good friend of Adrian's and now Bad Company guitarist Dave 'Bucket' Colwell. Done originally in the 'Entire Population of Hackney' project which later developed into ASAP. Steve suggested we do it after hearing a 'Hackneys' live tape. An unlikely Maiden track.

Adrian Smith's record, silver and gold, is incredible.
