Janick Gers

[Bengal65]

Sorry, he may be a decent player but he has no place in Iron Maiden with Adrian back, especially playing some of Adrian's solos. Not cool IMO.

Well, I didn't bring up this thread to argue about wether he belongs in Maiden with Adrian back. Adrian did leave and the rest of him accepted him back after they had brought Janick in. What do you do fire Janick because a member comes back? Or, should they have not let Adrian back in the band after they replaced him with Janick?

I think he just adds to the band and the members seem to enjoy him being there. I just appreciate his playing.

In the Flight 666 DVD, (BluRay of course) the band speaks of Janick highly. They are a good bunch of fellows as I see it.

I think the oddity of having Janick in the band is one of the many things that make Maiden such a special band.

None of the average ego-ridden metal groups of today (and yesterday) would ever go for a set up like that.

You should have known that starting any thread about Janick would result in debate about whether he should still be in Maiden. Sadly, It happens all the time.

Hey I kinda like Bruce's Tattooed Millionare..that's all Janick.

He does seem like a third wheel in Maiden, but I guess it thicken up the sound.

Agreed, but those single coils probably dont add much thickness.
Too much metal for one band!
