Adrian Smith has recently been in collaboration with old friend Dave “Bucket” Colwell, a musician who’s versatile career has led him from his early days alongside Iron Maiden’s Adrian Smith in the A.S.A.P project of the late 1980s via a 14 year tenure with Bad Company, to his current undertaking: the album ‘Guitars, Beers & Tears’.

Adrian is featured on the songs ‘Reach Out’ and ‘Make Up Your Mind’, on the album which was released on August 17, 2010 on the AAO Music / Reality label in the US and Canada, and due for release in the UK on Jerkin Crocus Records on the 1st November 2010.  Alongside Adrian, Bucket also enlisted the help of a number of other notable musicians for this project including members of The New York Dolls, Bad Company, Thunder and The Quireboys.
