Janick has paid his dues and proved his worth. Personally, I love his frenetic on the edge soloing style. It adds a great energy to the music. Dave to me is the patriarch, his guitar is the foundation guitar sound of Maiden. His soloing style seems to be a blend of the more composed style of Adrian with that off the cuff flurry of notes improvisational vibe Janick has. I was just admiring his solo on 22 Acacia Avenue last night. It sent chills throughout my body to the core of my soul, a gorgeous solo. Adrian has a style where every note is intentional and part of the song, extremely melodic and memorable. His thoughtful approach is a wonderful balance to the other guys. You can hear in the music just like you can see it in these interviews, these guys work well together. No ego bullshit, just about making great music and doing your part. Don’t get me started on the genius of Steve and Nicko. I fucking love this band…
@@aparecidacida157 yeah because you are so good at playing guitar,,no,,you are an expert,,stfu moron... he plays with iron maiden and he is a bad guitarist? ..wtf are you talking about.. just shut up..keyboard expert
@@toni29 Please Mr. Polite, allow me to ask you a simple question... Do you know how to read? Do you???? So tell me where and when I said that Janick is a bad guitar player?????? I don't like his style of playing, that's all I've said about him - this is MY opinion! Can you understand this or do I have to draw it for you???????????
The Legacy. Montségur. Out of the Silent Planet. Dream Of Mirrors. Be Quick Or Be Dead. The Alchemist. The Talisman. The Book of Souls. 10 of your songs with Maiden are that solid, you HAVE a legacy. (And royalties well-earned.)
Great song!!! Worked a lot of midshifts back in the day in the air traffic oceanic control room with my stack of Iron Maiden CD’s. We didn’t use radios for oceanic, we did a form of texting and a third party provider did the HF radio for long range. Iron Maiden mid-shifts were bad assness!!!
If you knew Jan you would like him, he's a top man and a great musician. I roadied for White Spirit 40 years ago and we all used to sleep in a big blue van usually on the M1 services, when they signed with MCA they were paid £15 a week, not a lot even in 1980. He is well suited to Maiden although heavy metal was not his first choice, 1970s rock music was his forte. Having 3 guitarists is not a bad idea when they are all over 60, sooner or later one will fall off the perch and they are all capable of covering for each other.
I was a white spirit roadie even before you mate... Original band members where the white spirit founders... Colin Thompson and Trevor Andrews and Crash... Janick Gers and Roger Carey followed and Malcolm Pearson came later...
@@latentsea I think they just mean it was him coming into his own as a songwriter. That would be the better term. I'm pretty sure he's married and has a daughter. Then again, you never know....
I really enjoyed this video. I have come to enjoy the new lineup with Bruce and Adrian back with Janick as much as I enjoy watching the older stuff. Janick is a true addition to the band. Their new material is as high quality as the older stuff. Up the Irons my whole life long! I'm 53 and hope to be saying that when I'm 93. God bless Steve Harris the man!
I'm with you. My comment was intended to be against the whole "Maiden does improper things with farm animals because, because, because Janick." Because he plays parts of solos once done by Dave (in particular) and I was saying how good the six piece lineup is. I would have to say Dance of Death and the whole Death on the Road and Rock in Rio set of albums showed the whole Maiden family was back (new and improved) The Final Frontier and Book of Souls and live albums were as good as anything from the vinyl lp days, the Jurassic period. Bruce playing piano on Empire of the Clouds was so epically metal I still play it in rotation.The question now becomes without Janick would it still be Maiden? (Because remember Adrian was the first to go back in those sad 90s when they were all putting out "side projects". Dave Murray may be the only one not to cut a solo album then.) And Senjitzu is just awesomeness cover to cover. Don't know how Steve keeps putting out albums that are nothing like what I thought i wanted but just what I needed. I am so looking forward to the show. October 17, 2022, Worcester, MA. 👍✌🤘🤘👌 (I know it sounds like a fanboy gush but it really is quality music.)
You hardly ever see these two standing close to each other on stage, I started thinking there might be some bad feelings between them. Now seeing this video made me happy. That in fact is the story of how I got here... Great upload man.
I got an old Janick Gers interview on Metal Hammer magazine from 1990, and he said that "we are friends, and even we played football together the night before Adrian leave the band" and he said that he tried to tell Adrian to not leave Maiden. Remember that in 1990 Janick played on Bruce's solo album and all those guys knew each other. Plus you may remember the "Flight 666" movie, and the point where Adrian is talking about Janick.
man what a pleasure hear Janick talking, and how he and the band cares about the audience, Mr. Gers is probably the best thing that has happened to maiden, his wild spirit, energy, the great songs he have wrote for Iron Maiden since he joined, probably the best ones out of the late Maiden catalog, terrific and funny guy, I still don't understand so much hate towards him when he is clearly the spirit that kept Maiden battling on and alive thru the hard times in the 90's, and like I said the songs he has wrote are something else. dance of death, be quick or be death, the talisman, book of souls, the alchemist, lord of the flies, ghost of navigator and the ones he has co-wrote with steve, man the list goes on and on.
Mr Janick the greatest guitarrist of all time, its so wild and play with precision, Adrián play with mind and thecknique it's amazing, and dave, he's smartest guy, and full of humildity
He's been in the band for 20+ years now...I think he can be considered as much a member as anyone else. If the other guys are happy with him, that's good enough for me.
I'm glad the mighty Iron Maiden chose to be a three guitarist outfit. Janick Gers has a strong personality, great riffs, and is a great guitarist. Adrian Smith is a chill guy, excellent musical composer, and has some great solos. Dave Murray seems like the nicest person in the band. Very down to earth, and perhaps the best overall guitarist in the band.
From a technical perspective Smith smokes Gers and Murray, and that's no offense to them... Gers is a great performer and an extremely nice guy, Murray is classic and Maiden would be done without him or Harris, also I must add that Murray plays more "sing'a'long" solos so that's why he's more recognizable... all in all the three of them has something to add to the band so that's great ;)
I love what Gers said in the Rock In Rio DVD about the 3 guitars. One can play an open chord kinda crash, one can do staccato rhythm (with Steve's bass), and one can play a melody. I think on Dance of Death, Steve and the 3 guitarists did an amazing job of having each guitarist playing a different part, then coming together for an incredible 3 guitar melody/harmony, like in No More Lies.
Fuckin’-A right. Maiden is a family and Adrian’s feelings (and the rest of the band as well, quite notably) about Janick staying is 100% what Iron Maiden’s all about. They made their bones doing what THEY wanted to do. Janick and H being together is just another example of it.
janick gers and adrian they both kick ass big time. Great musicians and songwriters who have influenced millions over the years (me included) to play guitar. Adrian was a crucial member in Maiden, he was a big part of the band´s success during the 80's and a killer guitar player. Janick had to replace him and stayed in the band when bruce left and gave the band fresh air when Maiden needed it the most. Adrian has written sea of madness,the prisoner while gers wrote be quick or be dead!!!!!!
jonathandavisleftnostril 666 here's a fun fact...Adrian is the best guitarist and song writer of the 3. If you dislike Adrian you aren't a true Maiden fan
I think they are all great guitarists Jannick can play really fast whilst keeping that technicality Dave can play really smooth Adrian is plays from the heart
Adrian is exactly describing how the music comes out of you when you grab your guitar and play riffs, parts, flat picking, etc. and record the stuff. That is how music is made once you sort out the parts and add lyrics to a very good concept. Most bands will not teach you this stuff unless you pay for a book of theirs. At this time, everything was on the verge of going from analog to digital. I dearly love this era of Maiden and all their songs before and after. Janick is an awesome showman and musician. Maiden has always hade really great members from Paul, Clive, and Blaze, to the present lineup. Right now with the 6 members they sound great as ever and now with Bruce being a 4 Engine jet pilot, they have even more freedom to go places that no metal band has gone before. If I was on a desert island with a solar powered media player that could only have 1 album, mine would be either Live After Death in Long Beach Arena and the Dortman second disc addition, or Somewhere Back in Time with Wasted Years and some 7th Son.
Janick Gers was with White Spirit for their debut album and that album was an absolute gem! I got it on CD and play it all the time. Sadly the band never got the love they deserved! High Upon High, Red Skies, Way of The Kings, and Don’t Be Fooled are absolutely amazing and show his real talent!
I thought so at first, but then I realized we already heard those solos many times. Now Janick tried his own solo and it is good, too. I can listen to the older ones anytime I want.
I found out in ’09 that I have MS. Now it isn’t the same that it was way back when, and I love the fact that the fandom still rember Clive. Amazing Drummerboy he was. ❤️
Stranger is one of there best. The album was done on those GK. Amps, like 8+10 inch speakers/ Solid state. I remember Adrian talking bout the amps in guitar.
Jannick and Bruce are the most electrifying members in the band. Don't get me wrong I love all 6,including Blaze Bayley but I love watching Jannick live.
was he saying jannick? both are such nice guys for all their talent. adrian wrote a book on fishing monsters of river and rock about life as an angler and rocker.
Maiden is the perfect band that can accommodate a three guitar attack. Skynyrd pulled it off of course and now when I listen to older Maiden pre-Janick they sound kind of bare bones. Janick thickened up the mix wonderfully.
By saying "Steve Harris wrote Aces High", did you mean that he wrote the lyrics for the song based on Dave's riff? To be honest, I have totally no idea how musicians compose a song.
the whole band contributes in the writing process, everyone gives an opinion or has a concept of how the song should go. For instance adrian smith has a riff and all the band goes with that riff. Another example is aces high wich harris wrote by himself, but the man who gives harris´s riffs is dave murray you see. Unfortunately i can´t tell you who wrote the specific part of a song
Maiden sounds great with three guitarist and Janick is an awesome guitarist. He is as much a part of Maiden as Bruce or Dave or any the other guys. Up The Irons!!!
It would have been such a dickhead move to ask Janick to leave just to get Adrian back. I don't believe for one second that the decision to ask Adrian to come back in was made because the band weren't happy with Janick's contribution. And I don't believe that Janick was just kept on because it was the nice thing to do. If Steve wanted Janick out, he would be out. Steve has shown in the past that the band is his priority and he will make whatever decision he sees fit for the progression of the band without letting personal feelings cloud his judgement. It's easy to overlook Janick because he wasn't part of the 'classic' line up from the 80's, but the man has contributed so much to the band in 30+ years and is as much a part of Iron Maiden as Adrian is. Personally, I've always loved Janick and I used to throw my guitar around my neck all the time pretending to be him when I was younger playing along to Maiden songs in my bedroom.
Yes, he wrote the lyrics and had the concept of the riff, but Murray was the one who perfectioned it. It`s hard for me to know who wrote what too, but nobody in Iron Maiden writes a song without the help of the others
When Adrian left, Janick joined the band(1995 i believe) So when they played on stage, Janick played Adrians part. When Adrian came back into the band, instead of adding another solo, Janick played Adrians.
@@Endo-uu8mo Adrian leaving the band is more complex. He didn’t leave or get fired. He and Steve were not seeing eye to eye on the musical direction they were taking and they mutually agreed that Adrian would leave. So he didn’t get fired but he didn’t really leave on his own either.
Indeed he is. But it's not a case of hating Janick, it's a case of those who love H's style of playing wondering why do they have Janick play H's solo live, like in Hallowed be thy name, when Janick's style would be better suited to Murray's solo? Why do H and Janick have to share who does the solo when Murray doesn't?!
Both Janick and Adrian are so humble and down-to-earth. They’re both so classy.
that's why they work together so effortlessly. Without a similar quality we wouldn't have Iron Maiden back together and as they are today
@@aless3676janick needs to be a tech and get off the stage though

I don't hate Janick, he seems to be a really great guy indeed, but I don't like his guitar playing - simple like that.

Mike Z he was better than Nicko in my opinion. Not to take anything away from Nicko.
Nicko is definitely my favorite but objectively, Clive is equal to Nicko!
Somewhere in Time was Adrian’s coming out party. He wrote IMO 3 of the best tracks on the album, Stranger, Wasted Years & Sea of Madness.
Rusty Kuntz definitely. The other songs are cool but Adrian’s are the best for sure
Never lnrw that, I thought he liked chicks. But I’m not judging great guitarist...

It's easy to overlook Janick because he wasn't part of the 'classic' line up from the 80's, but the man has contributed so much to the band in 30+ years and is as much a part of Iron Maiden as Adrian is.
Personally, I've always loved Janick and I used to throw my guitar around my neck all the time pretending to be him when I was younger playing along to Maiden songs in my bedroom.
gotta love mr gers!!
How do Slipknot not deserve their fame they have worked just as hard if not harder than most bands out there today.
who cares
ditto
because their untalented poser Metal punks nobody cares only Member who was a beast and really great was Joey RIP Joey 🤘
this was circa 2001-2002
reall nice. Year?
2002 i think, before DoD
Yes, he wrote the lyrics and had the concept of the riff, but Murray was the one who perfectioned it. It`s hard for me to know who wrote what too, but nobody in Iron Maiden writes a song without the help of the others
When Adrian left, Janick joined the band(1995 i believe) So when they played on stage, Janick played Adrians part.
When Adrian came back into the band, instead of adding another solo, Janick played Adrians.
1990
Adrian doesnt left they fired him
@@Endo-uu8mo no they didn’t, paul and clive were fired. adrian left on his own will
@@Endo-uu8mo Adrian leaving the band is more complex. He didn’t leave or get fired. He and Steve were not seeing eye to eye on the musical direction they were taking and they mutually agreed that Adrian would leave. So he didn’t get fired but he didn’t really leave on his own either.
Let H talk Janick dam lol
Janick has been in the band longer than Adrian. Year for year.
He has also written more songs than Adrian for maiden
they're both great! Janick is sooooo hot!!
Adrian = Brandon Fraser

Dos guitarras
you should really not talk about showing respect with that comment. he improved the Hallowed be thy name solo.
Indeed he is. But it's not a case of hating Janick, it's a case of those who love H's style of playing wondering why do they have Janick play H's solo live, like in Hallowed be thy name, when Janick's style would be better suited to Murray's solo? Why do H and Janick have to share who does the solo when Murray doesn't?!
Who is H? Is Steve Harris playing guitar solos I don't know about?
@@j_freed it’s adrian’s nickname
Love Him too lol!!
