The one thing i've always wondered. Can the Floyd Rose systems in Dave's guitar go up and down or just down? Because it seems that if they where to go up as well. You'd have to chop into the body to remove wood but if you look at the pictorial you don't see any hollows... I don't know if it made sense like this but if anyone could answer it would make me a happy panda.

I never saw him play a wireless unit.
He always used cables...

I AM A BIG FAN IF IRON MAIDEN I HAVE EVERY ALBUM AND SOME VERY RARE LPS (1980- 1990) ALSO EDDIES ARCHIVES. I LIKE DAVE'S STYLE OF MUSIC HE AND ADRIAN SMITH NEVER COMPETE AGAINST EACH OTHER LIKE IN SOME BANDS, THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER. ITS GREAT THAT DAVE HAS NEVER LEFT THE BAND. AN INRESTING FACT ABOUT MAIDEN 29 PEOPLE HAVE COME AND GONE SINCE 1975. I HAVE SEEN MAIDEN LIVE AT THE NEC 'THE DANCE OF DEATH TOUR' EXCELLENT SHOW. LONG SINCE THE DAYS AT THE 'RAINBOW' IN LONDON. WHEN ANDRIAN LEFT THE BAND JANICK GAVE US SOME BLINDING RIFFS. WHEN ADRIAN COME BACK I THOUGHT THAT 3 GUITARISTS WOULDN'T WORK BUT IT HAS A CREDIT TO YOU ALL. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEW ALBUM.
