Introduction

David Michael Murray is an english guitarist, born on the 23rd of December of 1958 in Edmonton, London. He is best known for being part of the famous heavy metal band Iron Maiden since its beginnings back in 1975.

Early days

Born in a modest family which moved a lot, Dave Murray went trough many different schools in his early years. He got his first guitar at the age of 15, influenced by Jimi Hendrix, and he practiced jamming along his albums for hours every day.

His first band was called Stone Free, in which Adrian Smith also took part. Later down the road they'd be together again in Iron Maiden. After going through different bands he finally joins bassist Steve Harris in 1976, as part of the legendary band Iron Maiden.

In the early Maiden days Dennis Wilcock was the vocalist. Due to an argument with him Dave eventually left the band along with Adrian to play in the band Urchin. It was a brief departure though, as dave soon came back to Maiden, and vocalist Wilcock abandoned the formation. From then on his career along Iron Maiden delivered some of the most influential albums in the history of heavy metal.
