Interview para guitar world magazine Adrian tells about Powerslave

"I remember doing the solo for Powerslave. I was extremely hungover. We were a bunch of young guys and we’d go out at night and party very hard. We were out until three in the morning and I went home thinking ‘We’re not working tomorrow, we’ve gone too hard. But at 10 in the morning Martin – who partied harder than any of us – called me into the studio and he was sitting there with Robert Palmer, the Addicted To Love guy. He had me sit at the desk and do the solo. I was really in pain but I pulled it off. Funnily, it’s my favourite.”

"As we were working on Powerslave, AC/DC came into the studio to work on their new album. I remember Bruce [Dickinson] and I got to talking with Brian John- son, and we played him the final version of '2 Minutes to Midnight He seemed quite impressed. Brian seemed very positive about it, but maybe he was just being polite!"
