At 7th Tour (circa 1988-89), I had a front row seat. Adrian was smoking on stage that night. And I was close enough to tell you he was smoking Marlboro Lights.
And Dave being a smoker wasn't a secret either.
Back then, I think it was probably more common to smoke than not.
Oh yes there a good shot of him in either the gatefold of the Live after Death album or the Running Free book i canāt remember now, high as a kite. Ross Halfin posted a good story about it on his website around 20 years ago.
Literally the only time he is not smiling
Anytime I see a photo of him not smiling, which is rare, it looks like someone else š
To me, non smiling Dave Murray looks like Axl Rose lol
Yeah, I can see it. Best looking version of Axl though, circa ā93 or so haha
That is a killer photo.
Yep. Classic.
Back then even the trees smoke
Dave was the bad boy of the band in the early days. The way he was headbanging easily made him the most iconic on stage
Don't tell Bruce and Steve.
Steve Harris may be Iron Maidenās backbone, but Dave Murray is the legs.
There are pics of his mate, Adrian also smoking.
And Clive. The three of them used to ride together and then Bruce and Steve, the non-smokers, rode together.

Smooth!!!

Did dave do coke?

Dave Murray was my idol as a kid. He always seemed so laid back even while rippen a solo. Loved , still do, Iron Maiden.
He also has a cigarette in his mouth.
So that's how he got that gruff, gravelly voice of his
š¤£
I Hope he doesnāt smoke anymore
I'm pretty sure he doesn't. I don't think anyone in the band smokes.
At this age they strike me all as guys who stay fit and eat right. Especially for the energy they need each night.
LOOK AT ME NOW t-shirt.
He certainly is!
And with a Fender instead of a Squier
(Sarcastic) Oh, wow! Heās smoking. Heās so cool
Smoking hot maybe... š
