TOP 10 JANICK GERS SOLOS - IRON MAIDEN

[@tumbamarch89]

His solos in "Blood Brothers" and "Wasting Love" allways gives me chills.

[@Luan_ff18]

Yes❤

[@mikeforner7797]

@@Luan_ff18 No

[@fmoe87]

Pretty solid list except for the one big omission that is his solo on No More Lies which is my favorite solo of his together with Blood Brothers

[@LeandroDelPrete]

I know, it's a great solo but I thought Janick went too crazy on it live. Same with Dance of Death. That's why I went with Paschendale instead. But I really appreciate the feedback!!!

[@tauruslove6956]

Although I will always have a special place in my heart for period with Dave and Adrian, Janick is a beast. His main power for Maiden is just that he is a beast, free spirit or whatever, but with him this band sounds more alive and especially live shows now that they are all nearly 70yo which makes them lehendary even more ;) Up the fuckin' Irons. What would I tell you :) :D

[@dreadhead170]

Never been keen on him.

[@jochenroeder669]

His solo in Hell on Earth, one of the best solos on Senjutsu.

[@LeandroDelPrete]

What a fantastic song. Epic and emotional.

[@TomPark1986]

Agreed.

[@RGK93]

@Celestial Dragoness HE FUCKING STOLE THE PARCHMENT! I LOVE how Steve uses every guitar player depending on his strenght: Emotional but powerful solo? Adrian, Mellow breakdown or fast and fun? Dave, chaotic and frenetic? Janick's the guy.

[@captainflamson]

@@RGK93 Agreed! I love Jan on that, another favorite of mine is Janick's solo on Man of Sorrows, Janick is a brilliant songwriter as well and many of his songs are among Maiden's greatest ever.

[@DaveTheFuckingBrave]

How do we know who plays which solo?

[@independenceltd.]

The people that complain about Janick's stage moves are the same people who complain that Maiden's last album wasn't Powerslave II. Every time. He was picked by Bruce for his first solo album. He was picked to replace Adrian in Maiden, just like he was picked by Ian to replace Bernie Torme in Gillan. Two of the greatest singers of all time. That's all I need to know. Plus he's a great songwriter. I'm glad they kept him on board.

[@LeandroDelPrete]

Very well said! Janick deserves the same level of respect Dave and Adrian get, he joined when Maiden was going through a bad moment and then simply Fear of the Dark came out. I don't even need to mention how huge that is.

[@oh1yeah2]

His stage dances are one of the things I love about him 😂

[@pergustafsson1155]

At the same time these people are bragging about having seen shows from every single tour including the latest one. Then one question remains… If people don’t like the music they play and the direction Iron maiden has taken, why do they keep going to their concerts?

[@weirdsounds-f3616]

Honestly I think The Book of Souls is Powerslave II, and for Senjutsu, it’s just boring, I mean book of souls was great so we know they are capable of it

[@serukun76]

A me Janick Gers piace tantissimo. Per me si adatta benissimo allo stile dei Maiden, e probabilmente è per questo motivo che è stato tenuto al rientro di Adrian Smith.

[@iizukatakashi4608]

It’s stupid to compare Gers with Dave, Adrian or anyone else. He is different, and he does not need to be anyone but himself, the world is diverse, so is the diversity that Gers, along with every Maiden member (including past member) brought to Maiden music. Comparing might help us in analysing, but don’t let it narrow our mind.

[@LeandroDelPrete]

Agreed! Let's appreciate what every one of them has to offer in terms of musicality and we are sure to be happy!!!

[@iizukatakashi4608]

Absolutely, better to live and enjoy the beauty of art, and the world also

[@mariojorgecaeiro]

[@Toasty667]

Its a good thing they are all different after all. 3 guitars that don't bring anything unique to the table? Boring as hell.

I really love his solo on the Ghost of the navigator

[@LeandroDelPrete]

Fantastic tune, for sure!!!

[@mariosgiannakis8643]

the blood brothers solo, especially the play at Book of Souls live is beyond reality, no words to describe

[@LeandroDelPrete]

Absolutely! I ended up choosing the RiR version because that show has a special meaning to me. But all Blood Brothers versions are magnificent!

[@bayadjerroud4693]

No word....

[@AngusD85]

Blood Brothers Janick's solo is one of the best Iron Maiden solos out there. It chills me to the bones and I think I drop a tear or two every time I hear it. Janick may have the most dirty, sloppy and repetitive solos in Iron Maiden songs but in this one in particular he totally excels. It's simple, melodic, emotional and really combines perfectly with the vibe of the song. Great selection for the Top 10!

[@LeandroDelPrete]

He did an awesome job in the Brave New World album! But I have to agree, Blood Brothers is the absolute best.

[@Benderswe1]

I was there during the epic crowd chant in gothenburg 2016 tour Dickinson could sing for like 5 minutes due to the crowd chanting MAIDEN!! all the time but then he let loose BloodBrothers and the stunning and epic solo by Janick

[@moonchild666]

Agreed. DOD should be in here.

[@LeandroDelPrete]

I love his take on the studio version, but all live versions of that solo are a bit...not so good. I went with Paschendale instead. But you're right, it's hard to put a top 10 together, I had to leave Gates of Tomorrow, Man on the Edge, Lord of the Flies, When Two Worlds Collide, and many other great songs out!

Sometimes he has some really cool licks and solos like Blood Brothers,Wasting Love and Fear of the Dark, which really match the rest of the song. But unfortunately a lot of the time his solos feel a bit sloppy all over the place.Heard one heard them all sort of feeling...

[@LeandroDelPrete]

Yes, and he seems like the kind of guy who doesn't care much about how he's gonna sound live, he just plugs in the guitar and start doing his thing. I don't think we should expect the same level of technique and perfectionism from him that we expect from Adrian.

[@LeandroDelPrete]

It truly is a show highlight. And Janick performs it masterfully!!!

[@mrpositronia]

I was at the Maiden fan club convention in the Astoria 2 (I believe) in London, back in '95. I was feeling a little anxiety from all the crowd, so when everyone went to get autographs from the band, I sat on a bench away from it all. A guy came running out of the crowd and came and sat next to me. He said "it's manic up there, I had to get out". It was Janick. As I was still feeling anxiety, I turned down his autograph, which I feel guilty about now. We subsequently got mobbed by more Maidenites, after they spotted him. :^D This was a week after meeting Steve at a rock pub called Perry's in Tottenham. I spoke to Steve and told him I was going to the convention. Later on in the evening, he was leaving and he said 'bye' to me and remembered my name, and said "See you at the convention." I was so happy with that, I decided not to speak to him at the convention, in case he didn't remember. :^D

[@LeandroDelPrete]

What a fantastic story. What a blessing to live in the UK and to be able to meet those legends. I suffer from a little anxiety myself, so I understand what you experienced. It's a shame people don't respect the other's space and mob over a celebrity like a bunch of goats over pasture. Thanks for sharing it, buddy!

[@mrpositronia]

@@LeandroDelPrete I think my anxiety is the reason I never pursued a career in music as a bass player. Not joking when I say that my anxiety caused me to turn down an audition with Bill Steer for his band Firebird. He reformed Carcass shortly after that, which was the silver lining in that mini story! But yeah, anxiety is a bummer. Thanks for the videos. :)

[@LeandroDelPrete]

@@mrpositronia I understand you more than you can imagine. Anxiety has the power to take almost everything we have from us, but we must believe that we can take it back!

First time I saw him in Maiden, looked weird. But now I get the point. Showmanship added to a sense of Spiritual power (the way he points the guitar to the heights). Not my favorite phrases, since more obvious than Smith’s or Murray’s, but cool if one believes a link to 70’s Hard Rock is ok. Saw him live in the 80’s, with Gillan, excellent playing. In Maiden he is more a choir-guitar, but still making frequently the difference. Imho.

[@LeandroDelPrete]

Yes, I totally agree!!! Janick is that kind of old school rocker, who cares more about the show and having a good time than technical perfection.

[@astini.36]

Janick is a great guitarist, his playing is unique, as well as being an excellent songwriter! For me, the positions between the three guitarists are in this sequence: 1° - Adrian Smith 2° - Dave Murray 3° - Janick Gers Up the Irons!!! \o/

[@LeandroDelPrete]

That's probably what the vast majority of Maiden fans think. I'm glad that we have the privilege of seeing the three of them playing together!

buen video a pesar de que la gente lo critica por su estilo o forma de tocar sucio que esta bien que lo haga en vivo y no en el estudio. la gente ignorante no tiene ni idea de como es tocar la guitarra corriendo o como el mismo steve dijo en una entrevista que lo importante es el espectáculo y lo disfruten por eso janick desde antes de entrar a maiden ya lo hacia por influencia de Ritchie blackmore.... janick que hace esas cosas estupendas en el escenario y la gente que lo envidia lo critica a si de simple,, y a pesar de eso dicen que no aporta nada a la banda y como no tienen argumentos se ponen a compararlo con otros guitarristas mejores en su técnica ( probablemente si) que bueno no todos tienen la misma influencia para tocar guitarra o que sean gente que solo escuchen the trooper o sus sencillos mas conocidos y no conozcan al Iron Maiden del 2000 hasta ahora y no todos tienen que ser una maquina para tocar solos magníficos somos humanos y siempre cometemos errores pero una de sus mejores obras maestras es gates of tomorrow con una intro muy rockera y un solo espectacular

He's not a bad guitarist, but there's nothing unique about him. Plus, the band was never the same once he joined. The time feel isn't as good and the addition of a third guitar just cluttered the sound. I also hate his poser theatrics that detract from Bruce and Steve but that's another story.

[@LeandroDelPrete]

Truth be told, Harris didn't care much for Adrian's returning to the band. He even gave Janick solos that Adrian wrote (like Hallowed Be Thy Name). All he wanted was Bruce to return, but Bruce wanted Adrian to come along. Knowing how weird three guitars playing the same thing would sound like, Adrian adjusted by tuning drop D to bring in a heavier sound, like we see in Brave New World. But Harris still favors Janick, like he's resented of the time when Adrian departed. This is just a guess, by the way. But I think it makes sense.

Without Gers they can't harmonize guitars like the albums (The Trooper solo), his movements is the thing that makes him unique, a showman.

Tenth Dimension is good too, but I'm not very fond of his newer material.

[@commin2ulive]

I am sure this is going to piss off alot of folks here especially coming from a lifelong Iron Maiden fan. Lets face it, guitar work from Dave and Adrian is epic and hardly matched in any modern music. Their licks are 2nd to none and their composition and technique along with the jaw dropping harmonies made Iron Maiden untouchable in the music world. Janick is none of that. His playing sloppy, predictable and lacks technique. Any 8 year old can slap 50 pitch bends and pull offs and essentially riff through scales with repeating patterns and fill the time slot. Nothing that Janick composes or plays compliments the true Maiden level of song quality. He is a stage presence and that is all. I honestly cringed when they decided to keep him on. I wish Janick would have bowed out and left years ago. Just my honest opinion and if you are musically inclined or appreciate real musical talent, you will think about what I said and hopefully come to see the truth as well. Farewell Janick!
