Various facts of Murray:
Dave Murray throws his guitar into the crowd at a free festival in
Chicago, IL. Of course, he forgot to take his lead out, and it
hit a guy in the back and it cost $50 to make sure he was okay.

After a concert on October 13, 1979 at the Umist in Manchester, England,
Dave Murray apparently hit on (or did something to!) enough girls, and
pissed off enough boyfriends/guys, etc., that the next week there was
actually an article in SOUNDS magazine threatening to kick his ass! The
article read:
"I would just like to warn Dave Murray the lead guitarist of Iron Maiden
that if he steps foot inside Manchester again I will personally pummell his
brains in, cos he's ruined what I thought was an ace relationship with my
girlfriend. And may I point out that no matter how much she rubs his name
in my face I still think Deb Brown of Wythenshawe is the best yet.
