Iron Maiden ~ The Book Of Souls

They lost their way a bit in the mid 90s, with Dickinson and Smith's departure.

Once they returned, though, every album from, say, Dance Of Death on, they just keep bringing it.

The Book Of Souls is as tight, hard core, Maiden as anything from their hey-day. You'd never know these guys are all in their late 50s, early 60s.

The only thing I could never figure out is why they kept that Jannick Gers guy.

I like his guitar sound, but he plays all his solos as fast as he can. I can understand he probably overcompensates because he's gotta get on stage with Dave Murray and Adrian Smith every night.

But there's no excuse for all that dancing around and guitar swirling and twirling he does. You want to do that sh*t, go play for Nightranger or something.
