Iron Maiden guitarist, Adrian Smith, has revealed his favourite song to play on the band's current "The Future Past" tour.
In the video below, Smith reveals: "My favorite song on 'The Future Past' set has been, wow, you know this has been one of my favorite, because I get a lot of room to express myself with my guitar playing, you know, I've got a lot of solos, a lot of songs in the set. So, wow, 'The Writing On The Wall' is a good one. I like that. When you play that opening chord, just a simple chord on the guitar, on the acoustic, the venue just goes quiet and they're, like, 'What's coming next?', I love that. And I love that pause. So that's always a good song to play. And it gives me a bit more room, because it's not so frantic pacing-wise. There's a bit more space for me to sort of put a bit more feel into it. So, I do enjoy that song."
