Wasted Years
Wasted Years is the outlier in Iron Maiden's catalog: instead of cranked Marshalls, Adrian Smith's chiming intro rings out of a Gallien-Krueger solid-state combo -- the one era the band set their Plexis aside. A single-humbucker Charvel/Jackson San Dimas, a bright compressed clean, and a Boss chorus make that unmistakable Somewhere in Time shimmer, with the GK's own overdrive channel on tap for the heavier sections.
