1. Started as a side project beside Iron Maiden during their break in 1989. Adrian Smith left Iron Maiden in 1990, some short time after the release of "Silver And Gold". Smith described in an interview that this album had probably sent the wrong signal to the guys in Maiden as they had thought Smith had lost interest in Heavy Metal and were not able to realize the AOR approach of this album. In the late 70's he was with Andy Barnett in a band called Urchin. Their style was different from Maiden, only comparable to the "Somewhere In Time" session "Reach Out" (b-side of the "Wasted Years" single).
The name stands for Adrian Smith And Project.
Line up (last known):
Adrian Smith - Lead Vocals & Guitars ( Urchin, Iron Maiden, Psycho Motel, Bruce Dickinson)
Andy Barnett - Guitars & Vocals (Urchin, Metal Mirror)

Those Were The Days
A.S.A.P. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going round in circles trying to catch a Happy memory to share.
All the sounds of melodies and sweet perfume of youth floating in the air.
We were far from guiltiness, from ripeness, far from sinfulness, from god.
We were little ,we used to share our innocence with love, we´re the same blood.
Those were the best of our living days,
Childhood was just in the right place,
We felt the greatness of happiness.
Climbing trees, to taste the season´s fruits and make our jorney a little sweeter.
Lying in the grass, beneath the sky, the winter sun was in our eyes.
wishing to have more than twenty four, those days were long, but they end fast.
Spent our energy and time, as if we were aware it doesn´t last.
