Why is Jannik still in Iron Maiden? He may be one of the single most unmelodic soloists this side of Vinnie Vincent (who sucks even worse), and are his songwriting skills such a coup to the band that he REALLY still needs to be around? Dave and Adrian make a fantastic musical team, and Jannik is just in the way with his sloppy live play. I've seen them 3 times with the reunion lineup, and Jannik was way more concerned with twirling his guitar around his neck than playing correctly. I was in front of Steve all three times, so that means I was on Jannik's side of the stage too. UGH! And he BUTCHERS the solo to Hallowed. Please, please can we make Jannik go away?

What!?!? Since when Janick has sucked? I don't understand why so many people are underrating Janick, he is a wonderful guitarist and his guitar-swinging is just cool. And if it's all about live solos, then have you ever heard that they don't even try to play some of the solos live like they play on studio. In those songs, they have separate live solos or sometimes they just improvise. Sorry but I bet Janick can play guitar much better than you. And swing it too :) Tell me if I'm wrong. And I can tell many songs Janick has written alone or with somebody but I can't tell a Maiden song that isn't f*ckin' great so...
