[edit] Name

Adrian Frederik Smith - is this verifiable? --PopUpPirate 22:35, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Agreed, I'd like to know a source for the middle name. --Meegs 13:56, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Well, here's one rather reputable source -

[edit] NPOV

"Adrian Smith is among the finest musicians of rock.He knows where to put certain harmonies,his legato is very smooth and fast,he's one of those guys that plays a lot of notes but doesn't waste any. He has many varied solos and also uses blues structure in his songs.No one can't deny his influence on Rock and specially Metal after 3 decades of contributing music to these genres."

As well as being poorly written this does NOT belong in an encyclopedia

Absolutely. Thanks for removing it. ×Meegs 00:29, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Someone should note that after Seventh Son, a song he and Dickinson had been working on made it into the next album (Hooks in You I think???) - so technically that should be listed as part of the discography or something I think.

[edit] Marital Status

What's the source of this?

"Adrian has a wife named Natalie, and three children, son Dylan Smith (born in 1989) and twin daughters Natasha Smith and Britney Smith (born in 1991)" brucethegreat 5:30 Aug 23, 2006

• I know that those names are on his "thank you" lists in the liner notes of the most recent IM albums....If it's correct, then the DOBs on the children explain why he left Maiden in 1990. It sucked, but I can't blame him, either. Equinox137 10:08, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
