I just HATE it when people say he's a shit guitarist. If he was, he wouldn't have been brought in to replace Adrian. I reckon the main reason people don't like him is because he's not a member of the 'classic' line-up. To those who do say that, you're not a real Maiden fan, and, well, kindly
In conclusion i prefer the old albums but i m astonished to have lived an "master of metal group" (r)évolutions during 25 years and the complication who they ve lived (bruce solo carrer and departure, jeannick integrationetc..) have permitted to create the more important group of the hystory of rock...
but he s so intelligent so technical (look to the fear of the dark album 's solos...) and he had permit to develop the iron maiden sound : there so complete and complicated in 3 guitars...
@oscarcr80 what the fuck are you on about outsider? he replaced adrian who decided to leave on his own thoughts.
He was asked to join and was asked to stay. So he has just as much right to be in the band as any other member does. He has also contributed to some of maidens greatest songs.
@oscarcr80 omg, that does't matter,,, if you like music you dont care about the artist that plays it, no music no life. all 4 guitarists have a different style of playing their guitar, i like janick more than the others,, why ? just his style, the way he moves, his tricks,
I tried those tricks once, nearly broke my neck! Maximum respect to Gers, he must've spent a long time learning this mad stuff, and I have no idea how he plays guitar at the same time as well x]
Gers thinks he is Yngwie Malmsteen or at list Ritchie Blackmore... hehehehe
He is so far away from them. He acts like a teenager this arrogant person.
He has no any "feel" and emotion on his funny solos. His bad solos are not fit to the songs. Dave and Adrian are so much better than him. He stucks in Iron Maiden like a flea. He should have a respect and leave Maiden in 2000 when Adrian cameback.

@MrYalicohen Nah - he's a superb player, and to my ears he has a certain assured class that neither of the other two - while good players nonetheless - don't have.
@MrYalicohen he's a very good person why are you saying this about him and he's a very good guitarist and i bet your not even half as good as he is, and his solos arent bad
Well thats very good for you but who the hell are you to say he sucks? Maiden obviusly kept him because of what an amazing guitarist he is. And its not just me who think that, oh no, there are much, much more who share that view my friend.
Oh and ....anyone that swings a guitar around like that...is as sk8girls13 put it....retarted WTF does that mean you stupid douche retard...was that the word you were looking for? RETARD? Look in the mirror...its probably written backwards on your forehead so that you can see it lol.
I think all three guitarist are amazing and if one left(again) i wouldnt much rather wanna go see the blokes but i would cause come on its FUCKING IRON MAIDEN!!! haha
OMG Bombtek, ARE YOU SAYING JANICK IS JUST SOME POSING SHOW OFFER? ....
Dude you'r fucking drugged or something! Janick gers is a talented, and AWESOME guitar player. How can you even say such a fucking thing? The guitar tricks he does is just to spice it up, its how he is! Janick gers is fucking AWESOME
The guy is a douche poser. Has no business being on stage with the rest of Iron Maiden. Hell he probably would not even be able to pull off being their guitar tech. Unless being a guitar tech includes pulling off foolish guitar spins and stop poses.
Janick Gers has been with Iron Maiden longer than Bruce Dickinson has been with Iron Maiden. Poser? Tell that to Steve Harris, Ask yourself why Steve Harris doesn't see Mr. Gers as a douche poser.
o_o; Yeah, his steady bolts have to be fuckin' deep in that guitar for that to work. Guitars are heavy. Especially when being held in by a single bolt. He must have some honkin' bolts in that guitar.
he just quits the arm and swing it around the neck (only the neck) the he puts de guitar in the original position. once I tried to do it and mi guitar flyed away!!!!1
He's like a guitar god....I mean he dances while playing, flips and throws guitars around like fucking dolls, and plays lightning fast picking solos. who the hell else on earth does that???
