[QUOTE=icebase]Well should we???[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=ashman]Shame...

Anyway what's up guys? I found this on the 4th page...'tis shameful[/QUOTE]

well, i have to sleep some time... :lol:

[QUOTE=s0ldsoul4roknrol]What!? I am sorry you guys but Adrian and Janick just simply aren't as good as Dave. Yeah they fvcking rock and are some of the world's best guitarists, but aren't as good as Dave :D[/QUOTE]


Excuse me but I do find Dave boring. I mean all Dave does is to hammer-on and pull-off all notes in the same scales. Yes he does have good moments like Phantom of the Opera or Brave new World. Janick is just screwing on all strings. He might be fast but I can't even make out what he's playing when he decides to do it fast. Like on Afraid To Shoot Strangers.

However Adrian doesn't stick to the same thing all the time. In one solo he can start with legato, pinch harmonics then increase speed, then go melodic and bluesy, then go crazy again and end with good tapping.

No offence to Murray fans :thumb:

Poor excuse. The only allowed excuses are: Drinking, Playing Maiden, Seeing Maiden, Conjuring evil plans for the Demise of Maiden haters, and Listening to Maiden...LOL :lol: :lol: :lol:

You may think that he plays different things all the time, but I have recently noticed some similarities in some H solos, like...a lot of the phrases in the solo are exactly the same. Not that that's a bad thing, it works don't fix it...

I don't think you can pick one Maiden Guitarist, they all compliment each other. I mean if H and Dave didn't have their telepathic link, Maiden wouldn't be as good. I think the 3 Axe slingers are a good combination, and are all equally good...


P.S. Janick Sucks... :smoke:

P.P.S Just kidding :lol:

[QUOTE=-->>SoAdSlIpKnOtGoD<<--]I``m probably going to London but Gurs told me they even won`t gonna play there.[/QUOTE]


I did? :confused: :confused:

I said there's no London gig confirmed yet, I only said that Donnington was practically a certainty and Reading a maybe.

On the subject of Maiden guitarists:

Jannick is perhaps theoretically the worst - I find that some of his solos play a few notes out of key (not such a biggy) or he bends out of tune (quite a biggy).

The reason why H's solos are as they are, and Dave's solos are as [i]they[/i] are, is this:

H plans down all his solos before hand, not note for note, but he may write down some of the licks and plan where he's gonna bend and where he's gonna do hammer-on's etc. This means that his solos are generally well-thought out and hence very exciting.

However, Davey's solos are completely spontaneous - in the studio, on stage, everywhere. Because he doesn't think them out like H does, his solos are therefore less 'exciting' and lacking in diversity; he's only human, he can't think THAT fast on his feet.

Then again, listen to the outro solo of Icarus. Call THAT bad improv.

Yeah of course when it comes to improvising, Davey shows great stuff. I mean, I just like Adrian more than two others. I won't dare to say that Dave or Jan are bad :)

Ashman said this:

"if H and Dave didn't have their telepathic link, Maiden wouldn't be as good"

That's where I can't say no :)

I completely agree with that.

There's one thing I don't like about Jan. I hate when he screws up solos live. Well, he doesn't screw them up. He just plays them different, and most of time worse than studio version. He's probably not that good in improvising.

Also, before H came back to the band, Jan messed with Adrian's solos during live shows. I'd call it "no respect to ex-band member". He shouldn't have messed with them. It was H's solos you know :)

so, what, you'd rather Davey did all the solos for the old songs?

there's nothing 'wrong' wtih it, i just wouldn't have expected it from you. :/

Hope you find your pick.

Don't you play bass?

:eek: A BASSIST WITH A PICK!

'Arry would be turning over in his grave, if he were dead.

[QUOTE=GurS]so, what, you'd rather Davey did all the solos for the old songs?[/QUOTE]

Hehe No. It could be better if Jan played them the
way they were recorded. :chug:

*now everyone here will think btoto is a Jan-hater.
It's not true :upset: *

well, that would be worse. To see H's exact solos defiled by a newbie

Ohy, i wouldnt tuch an bass with an pick! i have an acustic guitar to, and now i wanted to learn Megadeth - A secret place...

By the way, do they (H and Jan) play Adrian's part in The Trooper solo together??

I downloaded a video from Kazaa. It's the Trooper in Paris. It's shot with an amateur camera, mostly showing Jan and Bruce. During Adrian's part in the solo, Jan plays it too.

wtf???? However it sounded great :)

sweet.

it could be that H plays the backing chords now...

jan also wrote (with bruce) the worst madien song EVAR.

i love H's earth, but it's not 'fancy'

even if you hate gibson, check out H int he wicker man video. he looks pretty hawt there. In a straight kinda way.

So, we doing this Maiden Authroity thing?

[QUOTE=HeavyRiva]Dave is my favourite by far. Adrian doesn't do as much for me as Dave.[/QUOTE]
well dave is the only original guitarist left. i personally dont think theyd manage without him

^ I disagree.

H is by far the better song writer.

[QUOTE=Burning inside]But do you know what dates cause i have heard lots of roumers about Donington and other places, and i want to know when i can get the tickets.[/QUOTE]
