The Untouchables were a British progressive rock band, formed by Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith. Several different musicians played in this band, including many members from Adrian's previous band project, ASAP and also Jamie Stewart.
History
The band was formed in 1992 by Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith after he left Maiden in 1990. Smith briefly experimented with a project named ASAP (Adrian Smith and Project) before seemingly retiring from the music business altogether. However, it was a chance meeting with Jamie Stewart, former bass guitarist with The Cult, that finally persuaded Smith back into the spotlight. The pair lived close to each other and, says Smith,
"Quote from Adrian Smith"Stewart quit the project in 1994, leaving Smith effectively fronting a trio with bassist Gary Leideman and drummer Mike Sturgis. Smith decided to expand the band by bringing in singer Solli, a Norwegian who'd been working with Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham in a band called 21 Guns. The band landed a record deal and changed their name to Psycho Motel, debuting with the album State of Mind in 1996, followed a year later by their second release, Welcome to the World.
