Since Maiden reunited as the six piece in 2000, Janick has written the best songs - better than Adrian, Dave and Bruce. So fuck yes, they need him.
Listen to Dream Of Mirrors, Mercenary, Out Of The Silent Planet, Dance Of Death, THE LEGACY, The Talisman...and tell me they didn't blow your mind sideways.
Not too shabby! It's better than Bruce sang it around '89. Nice job bruiser.
And if Jannick Gers were Randy Rhoads or anything close people wouldn't be talkin' shit all the time. He's a decent musician and songwriter, but as a live soloist he gets swept away by the Maiden crew of Murray and Smith. He muddies their sound a bit and they don't need him.
Still he stuck with "Blaze Maiden" for all those terrible shows. A trooper in the full rock and roll sense. May he live on.
@TubeFreakJonas You're a clueless fuckwit!!!!! There's noway by anyones stretch of the imagination does Janick Gers muddie (as you call it) Dave Murray or Adrian Smith!! Janick is a much better guitarist and musician than Adrian Smith Could ever hope to be!! And Adrian Smith is fucking amazing!!!!! you need to get a clue and fast!!!!!!!!!!!!
well AND YOU CALL YOURSELF "FANS" MAIDEN = THE BEST FUCKING BAND OF THE WORLD!!!! JANICK A FUCKING GREEEEEEEEEEEAT GUITARRIST THE X FACTOR A GOOD ALBUM WITH GREAT SONGS ONE OF THEM IS SIGN OF THE CROSS VIRTUAL XI = THE CLANSMAN (WHAT A FUCKING GREAT SONG!)
The truth, Janick is an incredible guitarist, but I prefer Adrian, his solo's have variety, none are incredibly similar, Janicks solos all have the same setup, alt-picking, and speed.
But Jan always rape Adrians solos. In the last tour Janick plays bullshit in the Moonchild!!! And listen the Real Live Dead One album Were Eagles Dare and Flight of Icarus solos by Janick. I like him but after the BNW album he cant'play solos IMHO! And learn the Adrian solos don't rape it.
That's true, but Janick is still very good guy :D He wrote great songs and he have some very cool solos, like Lord of the Flies or The Edge of Darkness.
But... Flight of Icarus solo by Janick? wtf? I think that Janick never played that song.
I have A Real Live Dead One, and there's two Piece of Mind songs: The Trooper and Where Eagles Dare. No Flight of Icarus. I think that the last time when Maiden played it was 1986.
@Shazeen82 He had his good moments on Dance Of Death Tour & The Early Days Tour 2005. If Adrian plays Dave or Janick's solos they're very similar to the original, but with Adrian's style thrown in. When Janick tries to play Adrian's solo you are stunned by the low quality of it, it's not even similar! That's the fact, but Janick fanboys will always be yellin' about.
@BartSmith85 No tienes ni puta idea janick gers es un guitarrista que esta ala altura de adrian smith , lo que pasa que tiene otra personalidad , el es agresivo ,contundente y adrian es un proteccionista , técnico pero los dos son grandes guitarristas y el que sean distintos les hacen encajar muy bien , ademas el mismo adrian le pidio a steve que no le echara del grupo cuando volvió al grupo
@UNIDAD347 If you reply my post again, try to use English. I replies only what I've understood by translating in dictionary. They both have own style - that's why Janick shouldn't play Adrian's solos at all because it sounds bad. However, Adrian knows Dave's style very much so he could copy some of his trademarks during Accident Of Birth/Chemical Wedding tours & he done it really great. Search for Powerslave for example. Steve didn't fire Janick because everybody wants him to stay.
janick is amazing, hes a brilliant guitarist along with soloist, he aint gonna be playing an amazing amount of the solo, a lot of the songs are helped to be written by agrian smith or dave murray who have been part of maiden for a hell of a lot longer, janick is still a brilliant guitarist and the moonchild solo sounds great nuffin wrong with it
lol.. I can't fucking believe you guys don't even know... Janick Gers is left-handed and plays a right-handed guitar? Is that easy? Well, if you practice, you can do it. But I don't think it's as easy as you think. Janick is a shred-solo-guitarist, something ALOT different to Adrian. Dave Murray is again the best of them all, because he can play alot of riffs & shreds in his soloes that just work out fantastic, AND play the same things Adrian does.
Since Maiden reunited as the six piece in 2000, Janick has written the best songs - better than Adrian, Dave and Bruce. So fuck yes, they need him.

Or keep rockin till his ticker stops.
One thing he should keep away from though is films, chemical wedding sucked. But Maiden will always be the best metal band of all time.

I know he's a shredder, but iron maiden isn't about shredding,
it's the same as steve morse in purple
he is a really talented guitarist,
but his stylte isn't really purple, he could do something much harder, since he is very technical
ah.. where just whining a lot
let's just anjoy the music

It's nice you can jump around and hit chords when playing in a rock n roll band, but maiden never had that look,
they where indeed running across the stage, like a lot of bands do, but to trow your guitar up and just shred youre way down..
ah well, i do like jannick on the dive dive live concert.
