My Take
Dave Murray is, to me, the quiet soul of Iron Maiden. Born in London and the band's second-longest-serving member after Steve Harris, he has appeared on every studio album, which is an astonishing record of loyalty in any field. His liquid, legato-drenched soloing is instantly recognizable and helped define the melodic side of heavy metal. What I respect most is that he never plays for ego; his work folds into the band's sound and holds it together. Nearly half a century of devotion to one group, and still going, strikes me as deeply admirable.
