GUITARS
Playing the parts of guitarist Adrian Smith, Rich discovered Iron Maiden’s Number of the Beast album at summer camp in the early 80’s and has been an Iron Head ever since. The idea for Maiden United originated in Rich’s obsessive mind during the pandemic, but the roots go back to his first high school band that covered The Trooper. Since those early keggers, Rich has played with a number of original hard rock bands over the years including LAMF, It’s Me Margaret, and Dead End Sky. He also formed the popular tribute to the grunge era, X-Nation, and learned a good-sized chunk of Maiden’s set list in another local Maiden tribute band.
