Come to the riverbank with Adrian Smith and cast a line on the wild side. ' Beautifully written account' Dave Simpson, The Guardian ' Writes beautifully' The SunWelcome to the world of Adrian Smith, playing his Jackson guitar onstage to millions - while behind the scenes he explores far-flung rivers, seas and lakes, waterways and weirs, in a fearless quest for fishing nirvana. Hooked on the angling adrenaline rush since first catching perch from East London canals on outings with his father, Adrian grew up to be in one of Rock' s most iconic bands. On tour, his gear went with him. The fish got bigger. The adventures more extreme. In Monsters of River and Rock you' ll hear about his first sturgeon- a whopping 100-pounder from the roaring rapids of Canada' s Fraser River that nearly wiped him out mid-Maiden tour. Then there' s the close shave with a shark off the Virgin Islands whilst wading waist-deep for bonefish. Not to mention an enviable list of specimen coarse fish from the UK.
Beautifully written account of his experiences in the 100m-selling hard rock band and a seemingly very different life as ' Iron Maiden' s compulsive angler' -- Dave Simpson * The Guardian * He takes his fishing gear all over the world on tour and writes beautifully about the peace and tranquility of the water' s edge * The Sun *
Adrian Smith was born in Hackney, East London, on 27th February 1957. He joined Iron Maiden at the end of 1980. Adrian is the band member who has collaborated on the most side projects outside of Iron Maiden, as well as writing and recording a series of albums in the early ' 90s, before rejoining the band. Iron Maiden have sold 90 million albums, and tour the world playing to millions of fans. Onstage, Adrian uses Jackson and Gibson guitars. Offstage, he is an avid tennis player, however his main hobby is fishing. He takes his rod and gear out on tour with him wherever he goes. This is his first book.
