dave has to be one of the greatest metal guitarists ever always loved his solos and he is so modest about it never has bragged really nice guy
He is definitely a cool guy, seems quite easy-going and is always smiling on stage. A legend!
@@LeandroDelPrete yeahhe is always smiling on stage he really loves what he is doing again a nice guy
Powerslave. Forever
One of the greatest solos of the whole rock history
Underrated for sure..
how come he is never given more credit, i will never know. his name is never mentioned among the greats. how do we even compare Dave Murray to Nuno Bettercourt, George Lynch, Steve Vai, Vito Bratta, Yngwie Malmsteen, or even Jeff Waters, to mention a few elite guitar gods...
Dave and Adrian is the best duo ever, each complete the other, both together is perfection
💯Perfectly stated!
Don’t forget Janick 🔥power trio
Absolutely. Not a janick fan. But a maiden fan so!
That Alexander The Great solo is among the greatest solos I've ever heard. It always gives me that feeling where it just brings me to tears.
It's fantastic, right? The true meaning of "epic".
Totally agreed!!!
@Robert Biswas Well, my favourite Adrian solo is definitely Stranger in a Strange Land. It's perfectly written and fits incredibly well into the rhythm. It brings me to tears almost every time I hear it. My favourite Dave solo is Judas Be My Guide. Such a powerful and intense tone, with killer bends!!! But I understand why you love Alexander the Great, it's without a doubt one of the greatest masterpieces of heavy metal. I think it's more of an emotional approach I have with those songs I listed than a technical analysis. Powerslave is also a great pick!!!
Thanks for watching buddy, stay safe and Up the Irons!!!
@Robert Biswas I'm Brazilian! What about you?
@Robert Biswas Awesome!
My #1 fave of Dave's is Caught Somewhere in Time. That pinch harmonic dive bomb thing always gets me!
Never misses a note. Not one time!
Others may be more flamboyant... but no one, has Dave's accuracy.
Dave's solos are so spacey and atmospherical. Its almost like a dream world.
Dave Murray and Adrian smith a perfect guitar partnership
More than 40 years rockin like there's no tomorrow!
The first, more melodic part of Powerslave's solo is the unsurpassed pinnacle of metal greatness.
Dave is not only my favorite Maiden guitarist, but one of the most heavily underrated players out there. He's up with Randy Rhoades and EVH.
i fn luv DM but NO ONE is on RANDY'S level
@@damienfaustmandibleresecti3833 dude there are tones of guitarists who are better than rhandy roads
@@damienfaustmandibleresecti3833 bruh your names is so long that my sentence was clumpedtogether and I couldn’t even edit it
I find a lot of metal guitarists boring, with the exception of EVH, Randy Rhoades, Chuck Schuldiner and Maiden’s 3 guitarists.
Not only a brilliant guitarist and songwriter, but a down to earth great bloke!
I am So Glad Judas be my guide is in here. For me it's one of the most underrated Maiden tracks of all time.
It's one of my favourite songs! So powerful and melodic at the same time.
@Celestial Dragoness Same here - I was kinda depressed Smith left, but Davey sure made up for it!
judas be my guide is my favorite maiden song. that intro solo is fucking sexy
Me too! It's my favourite Maiden song.
Smith grew up in London and became interested in rock music at 15. He soon formed a friendship with future Iron Maiden guitarist Dave Murray, who inspired him to take up the guitar.
"He started me off playing; I bought my first guitar off him."
"We were both at the same state, but Dave was a bit further down, he'd actually put the time in and learn to play the guitar. And I sort of... he started me off playing. I bought my first guitar off him, I think it was like five quid or something. It was something he had lying around."
Dave is fanfastic and his guitar tone is the core of Maiden sound, but Adrian solos had a bigger impact on me. Some of his solos are absolutely unforgettable.
The wickerman solo was fantastic 👍
Wasted Years is my favorite
And how about the outro of 22 acacia Avenue
Davey is underrated.
He's a natural guitar genius and a virtuoso. Leaves most guitarists in the fkn dust.
It’s shame that Dave and other Maiden guitarists were not in top greatest guitarists, Dave’s solos are the standards of metal music
But they are indeed among the most important guitarrists of all time. Even their contemporary fellow musicians, like Kirk Hammett and John Petrucci were heavily inspired by their playing.
It's not a shame man They're all top guitarists because You hold them there
Right at the TOP and untouchable
@@phillipgurney1402 Well said!
Adrian and Dave are above Kirk. It's insulting that he's there and they arent.
Yes, you are right. They are all standard but their playing fits pretty well on Maiden's songs.
My favorite rock band since 1985
Oh yeah, Iron Maiden is the best even among the greatest bands. My favourite too!
Yes,Adrian is considered as the 1st guitar but i will ALWAYS love and appriciate Dave's style and his vibe.
What a noble and modest artist. 🤘🤘
AÄa
Adrian has always looked up to Dave though.
Seeing Dave play a Les Paul is like seeing me owning a mansion.
Can we get some more recognition for this guy. Honestly, so much joy and pleasure while he is shredding, one of the greats! 👍
The Blonde Bomber. LOVE Dave....so underrated. Humble man always smiling and you can tell how much he loves his craft by the way he acts onstage. And I've seen them live a few times.
Dave really stands among the very best. He is such an amazing guitarist and a nice and well behaved guy as well.
True. He seems to be quite the easy-going, always smiling kind of guy who loves nothing more than a beer and some good old rock n roll.
For me the best Iron Maiden solos ever are the ones in Caught Somewhere in Time. I really don't know why it isn't here.
Sorry, buddy. Too many good options to choose from. Some people would question why I picked Futureal or Judas be my Guide but I find those solos incredibly inspired. Not to mention some great solos I couldn't fit in this top 10, like The Nomad, Age of Innocence and Holy Smoke.
I like janicks solo on dance of death
@@lerputtajaakitus6766 It's quite good! I like it better on the studio version, though. His live solo is a bit messy.
Facts it’s one of their best, most underrated solos along with the Brave New World title track
To me, Caught Somewhere In Time has the best solos in heavy metal history, period
No one touches dave, my favorite "guitarist of all time". He is the best among the best in my ear and my eyes, cool guy.
Dave is the GOAT of GOATS! Just missing "hallowed be thy name" on this list
As a Iron Maiden fan since their very beginning I’ve always thought that Dave was the best guitarist in the band. He’s never in the spotlight of the band. One of the greatest guitarists of all time i m o. Up the irons 👍
Dave was there when everything began. I seriously doubt there would be Iron Maiden without him.
I love Dave, he is my favorite of the band. However, after playing in an Iron Maiden tribute band where I had to play all of Adrian’s parts, I would say that Adrian is def the more technical guitar player. It doesn’t necessarily make him better because Dave is a super melodic player, but from a technical standpoint, Adrians stuff is so much harder to play.
@@JessieJames0317 imo...his melodic style of play is quite recognizable...the legato parts especially...also there's something in the timing of his bends...its awesome !!!! I remember kinda liking the end of " from here to eternity " till I put my headphones on and REALLY gave the whole song a go in the lockdown...then the 2 powerslave solos blew me away totally and now I've got abt 20 + songs of theirs on my playlist....again primarily due to Murray...Holy smoke - great example of a below par /sloppy Janick solo next to an absolutely eargasmic solo from Dave !!!
@@JessieJames0317 I've always felt it was the other way around. I always felt like Dave was the more technical player and Adrian was the more soulful type guitarist. Either way, I agree he is the best in the band.
@@JessieJames0317 interesting, I'm a guitarist too and would say it's the other way around. To play a Dave M solo accurately as he would play it to me os more difficult than Adrian. Love em both though
excellent birthday tribute 🎂great 67 th Dave❤️
Happy for Strange World and Cross to be in the selection... and Powerslave... these represent! ❤️
Always have and always will belive that Dave Murray is the absolute most UNDERRATED guitarist ever!!! 🤘🤘🤘
The dude is a legend all around the world!!!
Love Iron Maiden.
Seen them in Toronto many times over the years and I've never been disappointed.
Got to meet Adrian Smith during the Book of Souls tour and was a great experience for me.
Up the Irons. 🤘🤘🤘
Fantastic! I just love this man! This passage you've put in at #1 is one of my all time favourites and shows absolutely everything about Davey, including what a humble and generous guy he his with that gesture towards Adrian at 6:52 . Sir Dave Murray, legend!
Dave Murray rules!! Got to see him last month in Tampa . . . with a few of his friends. You know, Steve, Adrian, Nicko . . . but how can The Clairvoyant not be on this list??
Amazing! probably my favorite metal guitarist
He was always a huge inspiration for me. I remember listening to Prowler for the first time. That was powerful!
Lightning strikes twice is my favorite Davey solo!
The "Killer"-Solo is really a total killer. On every maiden-concert i was, always stood there with open mouth, not believing what i saw and hear. Absolute amazing and gorgous guitarplayer.
Up the Irons!! \m/
Dave is the best I love to hear his solos in every song
I really really like Dave's solo from Rainmaker. Definitely one of his best
I love it too! But then I'd have to take Futureal out and it's such a fun solo...I plan on making a part 2 and Rainmaker will definitely be there!
Dave is unbelievable, and such a lovely guy
Dave Murray mi guitarrista favorito ,si bien los 3 son mis ídolos me quedo con el
Great choices. I mean, that first Powerslave solo - come on! That's one of the high points of the strat!
Love ❤ from India 🇮🇳
Iv heard all his solos however Omg that solo from Futereal will always be my favourite forever! Outstanding!! 😍😍😍😘😘😘😘
Funny thing is that the first solo (Futureal) in the studio version is just Dave, but this live version features him and Janick.
Yes! Cause there's a passage where Dave doubles his notes in thirds; to make it sound like the studio version, Janick takes advantage of the fact that Adrian is there to play the rhythm guitar and tags along with Dave. So much fun!
@@LeandroDelPrete I know, I play guitar myself. Jan playing that harmonized part really makes a dfiference live. I believe they only did that on the Edhuntour when Bruce & Adrian came back, as on the previous tour (the VXI tour) Janick obviously had to play the backing rhythm part.
Glad to meet a fellow guitar player! You're right, Futureal was dropped from the setlist after the Ed Hunter Tour, mostly because Brave New World came out, I guess. Great song though!
Form me he will always be no1 guitarist in Iron Maiden because play so gently and emotional...his style is amazing and also character really great guy. He doesn't have finished even primary school (this doesn't tell nothing about person) but anyway he is a gentleman more normal and calm guy than today's crazy people without basic culture.
DAVE MARRY IS A MONSTER OF ROCK. JUST LOVE ❤ THE GUY. SAW HIM MANY TIME ON STAGE. DIVINE GUITARIST.
@2:23 Man tries touches greatest, then gets the most nicest escort off a stage I’ve ever seen.
Murry is a virtuoso... most don't see it, but those of us that know Maiden know!
Dave solo on Seventh son of a seventh son show be on this list.
I know, I had quite the trouble picking the best ones and many good songs got left out. But I plan on making a part 2!
I remember the 'outrage' when Somewhere in Time was released. Guitar synths? In a metal band? It was the end of the world for some fans. I was 13, just learning to play guitar, and absoulutely loved that sound...and still do.
Smith and Murray provided the sountrack to my youth. In a world of million-note-a-minute 'shredders', I still think they blow the roof off.
Simply, my favorite legato of all time!!!!
Who needs Joe Satriani when you have Dave Murray, right?
Nice guy, I love his playing, and I'm proud to play his parts in an iron maiden tribute band 🤟🖤🎸
Powerslave. Forever.
One of the greatest solos of the whole rock history
Dave's growth as a guitarist is the only reason why I still listen to Iron Maiden.
Maiden fucking ruuuuules!!!!!!!! What a phenomenal guitarist. All 3 but especially Dave. Been my favorite group forever.
Lo más grande que ha dado Reino Unido IRON MAIDEN...
Los BEATLES fue lo más grande que pudo dar ese país, Maiden al igual que Judas Priest y otras bandas solo son el complemento perfecto!!!
Debo decir que me gusta más como toca Adrian Smith, pero mi favorito y al que más quiero es Dave, él trasmite algo genial que no se explicar, es una parte muy elemental de la banda así como Steve.
Grande Dave Murray!!!
Mi guitarrista preferido de Maiden. Gracias por rendirle homenaje!!! Powerslave dentro de sus mejores solos. Haciendo contrapunto con el bajo supremo!!!!🤘🤘🤘
Legato and Femder Strat are always be his signature
Fantastic guitar player and composer, a man of good taste.
PS - I love Dave and Adrian. To be honest, I like almost every solo Dave and Adrian played, but "The Trooper" and "Hallowed be thy name" has a magic touch to me.
The Number of the Beast album is a heavy metal landmark, filled with some of the best harmonies, solos and vocal lines of all time. Piece of Mind is great too, but since Maiden was already a giant by the time it was released, it didn't cause that much of a mindblow. Still classic though. I love Dave's performance on these two albums, but I still think Powerslave is the one where he was at his prime.
@@LeandroDelPrete As a kid I filled the best cassette tape I had with To Tame A Land from Piece of Mind, back to back. Hardly anyone plays that anymore I think.
I still get the chills up the back of my neck from these guys!
Dave murrays rime of the ancient marriner, live after death (record/CD version) should of been number 1. It was flawless!
Dave is the BEST guitarist of maiden hands down!
Every time I listen to a Dave solo, especially Rime...I get goosebumps...so pure, so emotional, so kick ass!
@@michaeldrennan2828 agreed 100%
Dave Murray is a rock god.
Merci un de mes guitaristes préférés terrible
THE BEST GUITAR SOLO UN THE WORLD! I CANT STOP PLAYING HIS MUSIC
El Mejor guitarrista de todos los tiempos..
Dave is just so freakin fast! Just a blur of fingers and notes!
On this Legacy of the Beast tour '22, I watched Dave and H and was amazed at how they keep improving.. just true Artist always getting better when they are already Awesome, but thats what talent and dedication do, they crete Greatness.
Up the Irons!!!!!
The solo in the loneliness of the long distance runner is probably my favorite maiden solo of all time. Wasting Love has a brilliant solo too
Nostalgia la Ultima canción Dave El mejor guitarrista Britanico🇲🇽🇬🇧
El solo Número 1, esta totalmente bien elegido, para mi el mejor guitarrista.
Agradezco tu feedback! Powerslave es una de las mayores obras de arte jamás producidas por la humanidad. Up the Irons!
Dave is G.O.A.T !
I love the duellists solo. I think that should have been on the list
My favourite Murray solo might be a strange choice but the solo on sun and steel it’s like someone has fired the last bullet from a pistol and it ricochets off around a 100 different objects
Not a strange choice at all!!! I love Sun and Steel, a fantastic tune about the legendary ronin Musashi.
That is a great one.
Dave Murray is hands down the best guitarist ever
I love that we got Adrian's solo in Powerslave because it happened to be between two of Dave's. Honourable mentions for Dave should go to the solo over the slow part of Phantom Of The Opera and his solo in 22 Acacia Avenue. I think it's his solo anyway.
A lot of feeling with a lot of speed !! First guitar player I’ve ever admired!!
Dave taught Eddie Van Halen how to finger tap
Gran trabajo esperamos la 2 parte
Muchas gracias! Ya estoy a trabajar en la parte 2.
I feel bad for kids today who wouldn't be able to experience the anticipation of a new maiden album coming out back in the 70s and 80s. It was an event to hear what Davey and Adrian came up with.
Definitely need more love than they get.
I imagine how it was when Powerslave came out. Can you picture yourself putting the vinyl on a player and hearing Aces High for the first time ever? If something like that happened today I'd probably go crazy as shit.
@@LeandroDelPrete . Dude, i still remember my older sister coming home with Number of the Beast (when it finally showed up at the record store )
and hearing for the first time Hallowed Be Thy Name. I was hooked as a Maiden fan for life from that day on.
All their 80s records just ruled.
Good memories.
Oh yeah that main riff and the running looow part are just so powerful you can't resist screaming along with Bruce! It was indeed the best of times, buddy. The 80s were the age of rock!
@@LeandroDelPrete .
Absolutely dude. I'm glad I was born in the 70s and was hitting my stride in the 80s . It really was a great period in music for people of all tastes.
Except Rap lol.
Rap is just irrelevant compared to all the good music we had at that time. Not only Maiden, but also Metallica, Slayer, Rush, Pink Floyd, Exodus, Motorhead and so many other great bands.
Phantom of the opera solo is insane.
Dave is another level!
El solo en the parchment es de los mejores
Rime of the Ancient Mariner was a good pick, but the one from Live After Death's video was fluid and beautiful.
I tried, but that version would have been blocked by UA-cam. Damn copyrights.
Excelent top, grettings from Argentina 🇦🇷🤘🏻
Que bom que gostou, hermano! Saludos de Brasil!
cool list all mine are in there 😆
Dave Murray é um top guitarrista, aliás eu gosto muito dos três guitarristas do Iron Maiden. Essa performance de Powerslave ficou sensacional. Agora, esse show do Iron do Rock in Rio 2001 eu considero um dos melhores da história.
Massively underated
El mejor de los mejores Dave Murray párami la crema y nata
Dave had been historically overshadowed by Adrian for both wrong and good reasons. Dave the amazing lead player, sided by Adrian the amazing writer who could kill on solos too. Adrian provides way more, but Dave is awesome at his thing.(for the record: my favorite songs on AMOLAD and TFF are Dave's!)
DAMN I LOVE THIS GUY
Alexander the great, powerslave, Caught somewhere in time, Joyas!!!!
Dave solos and he's my favorite!
Adrian solos and he's my favorite!
Janick solos and he's my favorite!
I don't know where this is going!
What a bunch of axes they are!
Murray un tres grand guitariste😌
Je kiff ce mec. Duo magnifique entre lui et Smith pour iron maiden surtout dans l'album senjutsu😇🤘🤘🎸🎸🎸🙏
One of the world best for sure
Inspiration!
Smith is a genius, he creates the best melodies and great songs as each member of Maiden, but man, i prefer Dave Murray solos hands down !
of course it s a team work and this is what makes Maiden solos great first of all ;)
Murray on a Les Paul made my day!
prowler, the reincarnation benjamin breeg, 22 acacia avenue
Great, great and great!
You would want to live longer just to listen to this...
Yep, He's a Bad Man!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
I’m going to have to go with Remember Tomorrow, but I’m talking about the Maiden Japan version. I’ve never heard DM more vicious than on this particular solo. I have to add on that little bluesy solo but after Adrian’s solo. Since it’s coming up on my anniversary that I first saw Maiden live. I have to mention Dave’s guitar solo on his own that night. He broke into The Star Spangled Banner, I thought we were going to shit our pants! Not an exact copy of Jimi’s, but enough to make us giddy! Check out the Chicago ‘83 bootleg to reference it 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for the valuable info! I'll definitely check that bootleg out!
Very nice list, but I would have to add one. Dave's 22 Acacia Avenue solo is still one of my very all time favorites.
