The most humble and ordinary guy in the music industry, yet with the most extraordinary skills and unmeasured talent. Always with a smile on his face. Pure class act!!
Dave is a fantastic guitarist, he’s not one of those guys who thinks he’s better than anyone else, he just goes about his business and loves what he does. He’s definitely one of my favourites
Wow, Dave using Fractal Axe Fx III is a big change. The JMP1 from Marshall explains why is tone has this mid frequeny that cuts trhough the mix, and make his solos always good to hear,
Yeah..I always thought that he would be one of the last guys to stick with real amps. I wonder what stages/backstage will look like in 15 or 20 years...? Like..i wonder how many young guitar players/future stars will use amps...
@@michaelr.4878 Metallica, both James and Kirk are using the fractal axe fx3 for amp simulation. Dave, John Petrucci and Steve Vai use the fractal just for effects.The audio signal from these players is still coming from a tube preamplifier.
I’m a drummer and I get guitar face watching Dave crank out the second half of the Alexander the great guitar solo. Much love for Dave and the boys and of course all the behind the scenes boys and girls that make it happen!
When I started to learn the guitar, late summer 1983 in fact, my main influences were - in no particular order - Michael Schenker, Gary Moore, Randy Rhoads, and the one and only Dave Murray!! His creamy and instantly recognisable lead (neck pickup!) tone on the 'Killers' album in particular can still send shivers down my spine... Absolutely brill. Thanks so much, Davey!!! 😁🙏
I have to say, when he mentioned at 2:43 that Dave Murray is playing exceptionally well this tour, I had to nod my head in agreement. Dave Murray is playing ABSOLUTELY WICKED and astonishing well, and his sound is SO.GOOD. on this tour. I think throughout the by now 16 concerts which I have seen them play since 2007 he never sounded better than on this tour! This rig is fantastic!
Thank you so much for making this video guys. I was desperate for info on Dave's new guitar as well as his current rig. Please do videos for Jannick's and Adrian's rigs.
I have the Fm9. Fractal products are great for live shows. And it is no surprise we see them taking over the live rig of most artists. It is surprising for me to still see that huge mountain size neck heel on new guitars even if they were Fender and for old schoolers like the great Dave. I mean making a thinner heel wont hurt no one.
Interesting insight. It’s a good reminder that iron maiden would not be able to perform as they do without their team. HERE IS A SHOUTOUT TO ALL OF THE TEAM WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES!!! I’m looking forward to this Saturday at the o2!
I spotted the custom shop headstock when I was in Krakow! Lovely to see this gentleman shouting out one by one all the luthiers and technicians, class act
Maiden always seemed like a band that had the attitude of "if it's not broke, don't fix it". Up until this tour, they used the same old beat up monitors, cabs, guitars, etc. But, it's kinda cool seeing that they are modernizing their rigs and gear a bit.
They had a period in the 80's where they had massive fridges of rack stuff and effects and wanky nonsense, and after that they went back to 100 watt amps and some pedals for a very long time, because it's just what they needed.
Just came over from the bass rig video, the transition was so funny. Bass rig: here's a fridge rack worth of preamps, amps, converters, compressors, DI's, power amps, two 70's cabs and all of that for the stage volume. Then we have a tiny Tech21 that does all that on its own and sent direct out to FOH. Then guitars: Here are the old JMP1s that we don't use anymore, here's an AXE FX3 that reduced 90% of the gear's weight.
Awesome! It's great that his rig is so simple, I've found that the guys with the simplest rigs usually have the best tone, and it certainly applies here! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Thanks Colin for showing us Daves new number 1 guitar, its a real beauty. Dave, Adrian and Janick the three axe men of maiden are all fantastic players and I look forward to see the rest of the bands gear. The ebony Les Paul Adrian is playing looks a real beauty too!! Up the Irons and come back to Norway again real soo.
It’s amazing all the work that goes on behind the scenes… yes most bands are amazing live , but the techs and road crew never seem to get the full credit they deserve…. It’s really cool at least to come on here to see the behind the scenes of what goes on etc Love the rig videos 😊😊😊😊
A lot of bands, after 40 plus years on the road, start to just go through the motions in their shows. But not Maiden. After 40 plus years on the road, they are playing better than ever and putting on even better shows than in years past. A testament to their dedication to the music of Iron Maiden and their fans. Doubt you will ever see another band who has reached the level of Iron Maiden despite the lack of "press" and support from radio.
At 0:58 you can also spot a glips of Adrian's rig, in the low left corner. On top of the effects rack, covered by what seems a metallic sheet, there's clearly a marshall head, you can see the red switch and the golden faceplate with round konbs. But maybe that's just a spare and also Adrian switched to digital. There are also pictures of Janick's tech corner with two racks, the old analog one and one loaded with two kempers. Can't wait for an official rig rundown:)
Guys thanks for this new setlist , it's the best, the new songs from the senjuntsu album. Caught some..in time, and Alex. ..the great, are great new songs ever played and the guys loved it. God bless You , thanks😊
love dave, always have. great to see the "simplicity" of his rig. even though for a bedroom guitar player its very complex, i can still see its far less than most people use nowadays.
Iron maiden were the only ones using tubes.... Dave's sound was a marshal preamp and the marshal processor was truly amazing. Now more and more digital equipment is replacing the lamp, alas, time does not stand still. Following metallica, maidens switched to digital
I have the signature DM tobacco burst Strat and if he brings the new white one out as a signature then that will also be getting added to my collection which will be three signatures as i also have the Adrian Smith Jackson SDX Snow White, (black scratch plate) model😁
Awesome 🙏 What a battle of material, I wish we had had info like this back in 1984, I bought my first Marshall because I always loved the Maiden sound...
The gear of all members of the band is specified in the concert LP's "Beast Over Hammersmith" (1982) and "Life After Death" (1985). At that time, Dave used the following: [Dunlop] CryBaby Wah-Wah, MXR 10-Band Graphic EQ (in 1982 he used a Boss GE-10 Graphic Equalizer), MXR Micro Amp, MXR Distortion +, MXR Phase 90, [DOD FX75 Stereo] Flanger, [Carlsbro] A.D.T. Chorus, TC Electronic 2290 Digital Delay (rack), Marshall amps, and DiMarzio humbuckers: SuperDistortion (bridge) and PAF Pro (neck) plus Fender single-coil (middle).
‘Saw the new Fender last night at Utilita Arena…. (Days of Future Past tour) It looks and sounds awesome… Dave rocked it within an inch of its life…. I want one soo bad…. It looks so cool…
That was awesome. Anyway you guys would think about selling the presets on the Fractal? Would love an Iron Maiden Fractal Preset pack and I don’t even own a fractal. Really appreciate the look at the rig. The guitars are beautiful. Love the new #1.
I would not say that - subjective - they are an incredible mix together. Going back to the Flight Of Icarus, those two together on that solo section are beyond fantastic....the way those two solos melt together and the 2 styles are gorgeous.
Is it Nokia Arena / Tampere? Funny I was there 3 weeks ago, it was an awesome concert, wish I had standing ticket instead of seat but still... It was my first time seeing iron maiden live (they are my favourite band so far). I got the ticket from my wife as a birthday gift and Bruce was singing happy birthday song lol! But I don't remember what he was singing for
As vezes eu penso o quanto sou privilegiado em viver no mesmo período do tempo que muitos dos meus heróis !!!!!!!!!! Infelizmente alguns já partiram !!!!!!! Mas estes estão firmes como sempre !!!!!!! Long live the kings!!!!!!!!
If I was a king or a president I would make it mandatory for guitar brands to use stainless steel frets on every guitar, much like an FDA type of regulation. I love this shit, gear rundown for life. Cheers from Morocco

This tech seems like a really awesome, and knowledgeable guy. I like the way he thanks everyone that helps them out with the guitars.
Gentleman 😊
Just an ordinary English chap but he’s freakin Dave Murray guitar tech
@@wrenchhead6840 he's been with DM a long time.
Dave is a fantastic guitarist, he’s not one of those guys who thinks he’s better than anyone else, he just goes about his business and loves what he does. He’s definitely one of my favourites
This was awesome, I’d love to see the rest from Adrian, Janick and Steve as well
I was just hopping on to say that… that’s awesome but give us the rest!!🤣
Yes please!
2nd’d and 3rd’d
Adrian and Steve. Janick, not so much.
Yes please
That was the quickest rig rundown ever. Nothing too fancy. Keep it simple and keep it moving
Dave is the best. That Powerslave solo!
I think Dave Murray is just FANTASTIC! He is an extraordinary guitarist. Thanks to his guitar technician doing a great job 👍
Technique of Dave is so Fcking underrated , The Smoothness of his playing is Beautiful 💪🏾👏🏾👊🏾💯 Maiden Forever !!
Oh amazing!! Now you know we need the ones for Adrian and Janick now too! 🤘🏻🔥
And Steve
@@andrewpappas9311 and Steve too yes! Can't forget Steve 🤘🏻
Janick doesn't play. He dances around like a complete twat
David & Adrain are sincerely two of my most prized players - and it is always a welcome surprise to learn about their gear. Thank You
Dave is my guitar hero!!! Please upload more of him and rare footage as well!!!!

3:00 thats my absolutely favorite Dave Murray guitar, ever. I always wanted one just like that!
Thank you for all the awesome content
Yeah buddy, the one he played on the rock in rio dvd!
Dave Murray and Adrian Smith are my Heroes 🤘🙏🎶🎶🎶
Dave Murray my favorite guitar player my biggest influence ever for play this beautiful instrument
I’m a drummer and I get guitar face watching Dave crank out the second half of the Alexander the great guitar solo. Much love for Dave and the boys and of course all the behind the scenes boys and girls that make it happen!
Saw them in Leeds last week and I couldn't stop looking at Dave's new Guitar, what an absolute beauty she is
Adrian is the king. Super individualistic and melodic style. Great vocalist and writer. Can’t be beat !!!!!!!
Amazing! Can't wait for the Janick and Adrian's rig rundown. Up the Irons!

I have profound respect for musician treating their instruments so well....
DAVE MURRAY THE BIGGEST GUITAR HERO IN THE WORLD
I agree. This Is muy favorite band and Is really awesome!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😸✅✅✅
I really like how confortable and relaxed he looks playing. In the other hand, Adrian is always struggling with the guitar. But he is great too.
I don't find him that fat
@@miguelhuertas0505 heyyy...me too
@@anderj02Adrian owns Dave and Janick.
Thank you so much for making this video guys. I was desperate for info on Dave's new guitar as well as his current rig. Please do videos for Jannick's and Adrian's rigs.
Dave Murray is crimmanly underrated. He's better than a ton of "godly" guitar players
Absolutely!

Brilliant guitarist been following them since 86 what a band long may they reign
I love Dave! He is my guitar god! Up the Irons!
I spotted the custom shop headstock when I was in Krakow! Lovely to see this gentleman shouting out one by one all the luthiers and technicians, class act
I’m a very fortunate man because i follow these guys since the 80’s. Iron Maiden and Dave Murray forever !!!
I’m surprised it’s taken Maiden so long to go Fractal. They always seemed like an obvious band to utilise it. Davey’s a legend!
People tend to stick to what they know and what has worked for them
Maiden always seemed like a band that had the attitude of "if it's not broke, don't fix it". Up until this tour, they used the same old beat up monitors, cabs, guitars, etc. But, it's kinda cool seeing that they are modernizing their rigs and gear a bit.
Yeah especially with how they tour it probably saves a ton on space and touring in general
@@onetakehoovie5955Well since all the stuff always already racked nothing changed because they still use cabs.
They had a period in the 80's where they had massive fridges of rack stuff and effects and wanky nonsense, and after that they went back to 100 watt amps and some pedals for a very long time, because it's just what they needed.
Iron Maiden forever 🤘
This year in Prague, Dave had really massive sound I love it.
Just came over from the bass rig video, the transition was so funny.
Bass rig: here's a fridge rack worth of preamps, amps, converters, compressors, DI's, power amps, two 70's cabs and all of that for the stage volume.
Then we have a tiny Tech21 that does all that on its own and sent direct out to FOH.
Then guitars:
Here are the old JMP1s that we don't use anymore, here's an AXE FX3 that reduced 90% of the gear's weight.
an axfx is 15 pounds and takes up 3 rack spaces. a jmp-1 takes up 1 rack space and is under 10 pounds.
Cool to see the pro set up for Dave - another Fractal convert, too! I look forward to seeing Adrian's set up!
Awesome! Iron Maiden forever! ❤
His solo in the trooper is my favorite solo to cover
I never thought I'd see an fx-iii in an Iron Maiden rig! That's very interesting indeed, shows how good they are!
They're amazing, I've been a Fractal guy for the past four or five years and they're the dogs danglies in the tones and options they give me
It's a welcome suprise! I know Adrian Smith had used a Kemper for the Smith/Kotzen stuff, maybe he swayed Davey into trying some new gear.
Dave is one of my guitar heros, cool to see this.
Dave Murray looks like a happy guitar playing cat.
Davey one of my favorite guitarist ever! 🤘🤘🤘
If I may say, #2 is looking good for 20yr of the road. Up the irons!
Man all his old guitars from 80s and 90s and the 2000s still works
Love these behind the scenes videos. Keep them coming! 👏🤘🔥🎸
Awesome! It's great that his rig is so simple, I've found that the guys with the simplest rigs usually have the best tone, and it certainly applies here!
Thanks for sharing this with us!
My question is, will that white custom Strat be available for purchase like his other signature? That’s an amazing looking guitar. I want it!
So simple... The rest is on those 66 years old fingers. Incredible!
Thanks Colin for showing us Daves new number 1 guitar, its a real beauty. Dave, Adrian and Janick the three axe men of maiden are all fantastic players and I look forward to see the rest of the bands gear. The ebony Les Paul Adrian is playing looks a real beauty too!! Up the Irons and come back to Norway again real soo.
such a minimal clean set up! i love it!! cant wait to see run downs for the rest of the band!
The attention and exposure that Maiden give the Killer Krew on tour is fantastic. That's real gratitude and appreciation.
It’s amazing all the work that goes on behind the scenes… yes most bands are amazing live , but the techs and road crew never seem to get the full credit they deserve…. It’s really cool at least to come on here to see the behind the scenes of what goes on etc Love the rig videos 😊😊😊😊

One of my favorite guitarrist!
I saw them play for the first time ( The Final Frontier tour) and he was playing a Les Paul w/ Floyd Rose.
Talk about super-strats ! Great guitar.
That new fender is absolutely gorgeous!
love dave, always have. great to see the "simplicity" of his rig. even though for a bedroom guitar player its very complex, i can still see its far less than most people use nowadays.
Brilliant I would so like to see this tour . Shame the tickets are soooo damn expensive . So I will just catch you all on UA-cam 🤘🏻
I love Iron Maiden
That new Fender in Olympic White is a beauty!! Just wow!! UP THE IRONS!
Nothing beats the OG black Strat with full size humbuckers.
The new guitar is one sexy ass beast🤘🤘. Walnut neck is looking freaking awesome.
Iron maiden were the only ones using tubes.... Dave's sound was a marshal preamp and the marshal processor was truly amazing. Now more and more digital equipment is replacing the lamp, alas, time does not stand still. Following metallica, maidens switched to digital
Dave's a modest master!
a guitar never gets old. it only gets better.
Fantastic new white Fender guitar...wow
Really cool video! Dave is the reason I play guitar. Thank you for sharing would love to see more! UP THE IRONS FOREVER 🤘
I hope we get a rundown of Adrian's rig, as well.

Sure would love to meet Dave Murray some day
Finally guitar rig rundowns!
Dave’s a legend
That was awesome. Anyway you guys would think about selling the presets on the Fractal? Would love an Iron Maiden Fractal Preset pack and I don’t even own a fractal.
Really appreciate the look at the rig. The guitars are beautiful. Love the new #1.
Will Fender be selling an updated Dave Murray strat with the same specs(walnut neck)?
I think it's safe to say that Adrian is Maiden's best guitarist, but Dave is my favorite.
Opinion.. I prefer Dave.
I would not say that - subjective - they are an incredible mix together. Going back to the Flight Of Icarus, those two together on that solo section are beyond fantastic....the way those two solos melt together and the 2 styles are gorgeous.
So Dave is best at being your favorite.
They complement each other beautifully. It's the secret ingredient to every successful dual metal guitar assault.
Technically Dave is the better player, I would say.
Adrian is a better songwriter though and his solos are more thought out.
Yeeeeees yes yes yeeeeees!!!! F** yes!!!!!!!!! Been begging for this for ages. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!!
True fact: No one can sound exactly like Dave on covering his solos.
you're right man, you can have all of these but no one can match Dave's hands
Preach!! 🤘🤘🎸
UP THE IRONS!!!!!!!
Gran equipo 🤘👏👏👏👏👊 The Best band of world 😎👊 Ansiosa que regresen a México 🇲🇽❤
That white strat is AMAZING. Now, can we have video like that about Janick and Adrian? :-)
