"Silver and Gold"Solo project formed by Adrian Smith during his sabbatical from Iron Maiden. The sound is VERY different from any of Maiden's recordings! In fact it's more of an easy-rock, FM/AOR sound. Kinda similar to the Maiden b-side "Reach Out", but not even as heavy. "The Lion", "You Could Be King", and "After the Storm" are the best tracks here.
Oh yeah, this CD went out of print long before I was able to get it, and has since become something of a collector's item with Maiden fans...in desperation, I was about to twist my brother's arm to make him give me his copy, but then, happened to find a $1.99 copy at Second Spin, of all places!! Hehe, some people have no sense of musical trading value...
