Dave: Monster shredder
Adrian: Technical wizard
Jabick: Whatever helps him dance lmao
Perfect description
HahHah.
Fr. 😭😝😝❤️
Damn that was the best and most accurate description of them ive ever seen
Yes Adrian is metal god. Dave comes up with some really good shit from time to time and compliments Adrian pretty well despite not being as gifted.
Yanick- why is he even in the band?
I love them All but adrian will be always my favourite
Me too
Of course Adrian
Same but I think Dave won
Same here. That man has an incredible heart and his solos are always very passionate and soul touching.
And me
I look at them this way:
Adrian - contol
Dave - controlled chaos
Janick - chaos
LOL
Adrian : the best
Dave : the good
Janick : the bad
😂😂
@@aymericmarty3905 1:32 ummm
Siddharth ...yes.
The problem I see is that back in the old days there was a clear difference between Dave and Adrian. Even after telling someone that had never heard Maiden before or had no idea about guitar solos about the difference between Dave and Adrian they could spot the difference. Then Janick came along and started playing like a bad Dave impersonator. When you listen to Maiden albums now you can tell Adrian straight away because Adrian is Adrian, but when it comes to the other solos you can't tell if it's Janick playing good or Dave playing bad. Janick's widdly shits all over Dave's widdly.
Since my point of view, Dave Murray has the mystic iron maiden's tone!
signed
I agree with you
Pepe Rito of course mi bro, salute
neck pickup+legato is his signature technique
Bang on.
Dave is the crazy shredder ! Adrian gives the song it’s power ! Janick adds life to the music !
( dave wins for me )
I think janick is the Crazy shredder hahaah
its*
Dave Murray is my favorite. He’s more of a shredder and tends to play lead a bit more. Also more material of his to sift through (he played alongside Smith and Gers separately before they both joined the band, and he’s also played on every album)
Ditto. I hate pitting them against each other. I love Dave and Adrian. Up the irons!!! ❤🤘🤘🤘
Murray:1 pic 10 notes
Smith: 10 pics 10 notes
Gears: 10 pics 1 note
😂
That is true
Adrian, no doubt. I like his bluesy style, and his sexy vibratos,he just feels the music.
I agree. He is the best
+Svil Buscus always been! unfortunately,he's the most underrated imho in the metal stage
дарья клюшкина Yeah. It is unfair
+дарья клюшкина And he didn't do as good legatos as Dave Murray
+дарья клюшкина wayyyyy underrated he is one, if not the best metal player all. Around. Think SRV playing metal that's what you get
1. dave adrian janick
I agree
@Rita Lovett totally agree
Sometimes i come back to this just for listening some typical iron madley like it's a real song, thanks for the playing and sharing!
I think The 3 have their own Styles, and they're cool at The same
All three are great, but I choose Adrian. Dave Murray can play great and use wonderful legato, but Adrian Smith's vibrato, note selection, bends, and phrasing are the reasons I choose Smith. Dave and Janick can do great bends and phrasing, but I think Smith's compositions appeal more to me. Check out Flight of Icarus, Wasted Years, Can I Play With Madness, Stranger In A Strange Land, or a few more.
Well said and agreed 👍
am i the only one who thinks Jan is underappreciated?
Nah. He's a great guitarist and has had to work pretty hard to stand out next to Dave and Adrian. He has my respect.
mine too!
Hossein Nazeran Pour I´ve always loved and admired Janick the most, as songwriter, guitarist and performer, he´s absolutely brilliant, in every sense of the word....
People give him shit because he likes to be a showman on stage (really entertaining by the by) And yet, he's arguably the best guitarist of the 3, certainly in terms of improvisation. I don't think he's quite as good as Adrian, but I'd say he's on par with Dave.
if he were not the dancer would be appreciated😉😉
I prefer Dave.
He is the reason why I picked up a guitar. His sound is so creamy , nobody has that sound in heavy metal. And that legato style is always there with him. Really fluent and effortless playing. When someone thinks of Maiden´s guitar tone they think of Dave. And yeah Dave and Adrian are the best dual guitar attackers in history.
I am totally with you Rohan, it is difficult to chose, but Dave seems to have high quality oil on the neck .......sooo good !!!!!
I'm a huge maiden fan and I've been a guitar instructor for six years and I have to say, you nailed all three of their styles. Killer job man! God Bless!
I've noticed Dave doesn't like to hang on one note for too long
Mmmmmm listen to the Number of the beast live.
Absolutely! I saw them about 10 years ago. He played 1 fucking note for the solo haha...was still great though.
yhea that had been the only time i have seen dave stay with a note that long. but he was using delay with it too.
@@meignan33 Hell yeah!!!!
this is my opinion, sadly I'm not a guitar player...
Dave is the best on fast solos...his technique is amazing...
Adrian is a great guitar player with a different style and also a good songwriter...
Janick is a great songwriter, he's the more melodic of three, on fast solos is not so clean but he plays many great riffs/solos on slow song...
Then, I love this three guitars sound...
mhm
I actually feel that Adrian Smith is the most melodic, Dave Murray is the swiftest, and janick is the most aggressive
Please don't make me decide !!!! Adrian Smith wins for Sea of madness & Stranger solo's , But they're all amazing in their own ways!
You did a really good job on the Janick Gers styled solos, i haven't seen anyone capture his solos and style of playing very good. he is unique in my opinion.
Dude! This guy got those three very distinctive styles down to a science. I always have a weakness for Dave's solos despite often being the simplest of the three, I love how he shamelessly uses minor pentatonics scales most of the time giving Iron Maiden that unique border of hard rock and metal -- as sort of a gateway drug to hardcore heavy metal.
All three of these guitarists are really wonderful and talented blokes.
Great imitations, the solos really sound like how they would have been played by Maiden
Chaos is a great way of describing Janick. Dave is the sound of Maiden but his appeal is a mixture of great tone and shred. Adrian is the complete package. His solos are always the most memorable with loads of melody, great feel and speed when it counts. Adrian is the most complete guitarist all day long.
Sinceramente pienso que Dave Murray es el mejor guitarrista de los 3, pero debo decir que la destreza de Janick y el buen animo que tiene en los conciertos es insuperable... No será el mejor, pero es mi guitarrista favorito..!!!
Always loved Dave's nice warm roundy sound, Adrian had the sharper knife edge solos And Janick a bit of both.
Did anyone noticed Adrian Smith played a part from the Trooper solo.
He also uses a lick for Dave Murray from Killers and Jannick's from Son Of a Gun
For Adrian also from Wicker Man
I think he also played part of Dave’s outro solo on the book of souls, I have no idea how I got that
Janick Blood brothers
Adrian actually plays half of the trooper solo
Los tres son increíbles Janick gers, Dave Murray, Adrián Smith 🤘🏻💀🤘🏻💓
Adrian Smith IMO was and is the best Iron Maiden guitar player. Yes, Dave is very fast but Adrian is fast and have the feeling too.
Oh yeah!
Janick is faster
Adrian could play *almost* as fast as Dave. If Dave is a 9 on a scale of 1-10 in terms of speed, Adrian is an 8.75, but he picked his spots when to shred so when he did, you sat up and took more notice of it.
Janick has been frustrating to me to listen to, because while he is very good at playing melodies, his "wall of notes" soloing style always bothered me a little. I was pleasantly surprised when his soloing was a lot more melodic on the Fear of the Dark album. I remember both my best friend and I noticed that when that album came out.
True
Dave sold Adrian his first guitar and taught him his first chords.
It was Adrian that took the the band to greater heights, he wrote most of the band's best songs. Dave clearly has more skill and technique but Adrian puts more emotion into his playing which i personally prefer
Kid you not, playing Adrian to perfection is wayyyyy harder then playing dave. Dave is fast legato stuff, anyone can train that. Adrian is pure raw power with tasty licks on the pentatonic not to. Mention the vibratos, Bends and musicality at all. Beast of a player. Thing SRV on Iron Maiden
adrian smith CANNOT be compared in the "tasty pentatonic licks and uniqueness" with the ONE IN A KIND STEVIE RAY VAUGHAN, ik srv got alot of albert kings influence in his licks but well thats what blues is abbout adding your own flavour to the already existing dinner...btw stop making it look like adrians bluesy style is for being that superior to daves or jannick the three are just unique
IMO, proof is in the pudding, and it's no knock on Dave or Jan. Glad they kept Jan when Adrian returned. But all the focus is on Bruce coming back in 2000.... and everyone seems to overlook Adrian's return and impact, to the tone and songwriting itself. Look at the albums Adrian played and contributed on. Killers-7th Son, then Brave New World to present. Notably conspicuous? No Prayer, FotD, Xfactor and Virtual.
And the funny thing is, IMO, Xfactor and Virtual XI are better albums as a whole, than No Prayer or FotD (there is like, 2 decent keeper tunes from those two albums, and IMO , FotD is the most overrated album Maiden ever penned)... But While Bruce was absent for the latter 2, Adrian was gone for all 4, and IMO, it shows, big time, in the quality of songwriting and general guitar tone.
Some fans don't like the newer Maiden albums, but to my ear, they are the natural progression from the more Prog influenced feel of Somewhere in Time and 7th Son, so even when you remove Bruce from the fold, for X Factor and Virtual XI, those albums overall have more in common with Maidens post 2000 stuff, structurally, and makes a lot of sense it would appeal to Adrian, whereas the retreading of old stuff from No Prayer would not have. Fortunately, they have enough epic room to go from a power duo to trio.
Yeah, Dave is all about legatos...Adrian has more techical skills and also feeling in his playing....Well, Dave´s solo in Powerslave is very good melodically.
@@StaySharpFacas Nah, I can already say 2 solo's that what you say is bullshit, wasted years and children of the damned, Children of the damned is pure tapping and wasted years is pure fastness with pull offs, check out the solo from Dave caught somewhere in time and 7th son of a 7th son.
Dave Murray - Best guitarist
Adrian Smith - Best riffs
Janick Gers - Best songwriter
+iluvkochikame well said
an also, gers is best dancer
+Alvaroskito xD yeah, he's wild!
Really? Gers is a good songwriter but best? Smith wrote two minutes to midnight, 22 acacia avenue, wasted years, stranger in a strangeland, the prisoner etc...
Adrian Smith is the best guitarist and songwriter (out of the guitarists) in maiden.
Dude, amazing job! I thoroughly enjoyed that 🤘🏼
Dave - legato
Janick - heavy picking
Adrian - cliche and melody
Great job mate, you've nailed it 🤘
Já Assisti Esse Vídeo 1 Milhão de Vezes e Todas as Vezes me Faz Arrepiar.
The majority of memorable solos of iron maiden are from Adrian Smith.
Totally agree!
Totally agree! And it's because he plays with feeling and doesn't just widdle for the sake of widdling!
I'd say his solos are much more song specific, if that makes sense, and therefore more identifiable, but Dave has the sound I think of when I think of Maiden
My fave has always been Dave, Adrian of course is right there with him but I just prefer Dave.
I agree but dave murray has the first solo in powerslave that is for me one of the best iron maiden solos ever.
puree nono, quel boulot monstrueux tu nous as fais la !!!!!!! refaire quasi 3 min de solo de maiden et les mettre a la bonne tonalité et ajouté le style de chacun de 3 super guitaristes, c'est vraiment un super boulot, bravo.
Tipton vs Downing vs Faulkner!!
Jack Morrow That would be great! All three of them are brilliant guitarists!
For me is Downing best
Wow, it almost seems that Dave, Adrian and Janick are playing, awesome! You imitate very well their styles, congratulations!!
THEY ARE ALL GREAT MUSICIANS !
EVERY ONE OF THEM PLAYS A SPECIAL PART!
I PERSONALLY LOVE TO HEAR THEM ALL TOGETHER !
UP THE MAIDENS!
Thank you 👍🏻 playing licks in each player’s style is worth a million videos just talking about it. God bless.
super job showing off your mastery of each of these guitarists styles! very versatile!
J'te remercierai jamais assez, j'me fous tes vidéos à fond dans ma voiture, et le fait d'écouter Maiden depuis mon plus jeune âge ( malgré que je ne sois qu'un minôt de 20 ans ) et bien je connais toutes leurs chansons par coeur. Comme nous tous d'ailleurs, et je trouve génial que grace à toi je puisse écouter du Maiden sans connaître d'avance les solos ahah, car le taff que nous offre est aussi plaisant à découvrir que leurs chansons ! Merci !
Adrian Smith has an amazing vibrato and style, think he´s the best Maiden´s guitarrist
Best? You mean favorite
Esse é o Vídeo que eu Mais Assisti em Minha Vida!
Já Assisti umas 50 Vezes.
Esse Cara Toca Demais!
Chego Até a me Arrepiar.
Não Canso de Compartilhar Esse Vídeo em Todas as Minhas Redes Sociais.
Muito bom. Mas falta. Muita. Pegada nas partes. Do Adrian, vibratos monstros e bends longos e fortes os demais. De resto muito bom.
+The awesome TUFF GONG duppy conqueror I said the video is very good but is lacking a little in the Adrian Smith parts, longer vibratos, bigger Bends overall aggressiveness and smoothness that's what's Adrians playing is all about
ADRIAN SMITH .He has composed beautiful songs in the past and present.
People rip in Janick too much. He wrote a lot of good songs and solos. He is more sloppy and not as technically proficient as the other too but he makes cool sounds like that weird muted-kind-of-harmonic-squeaky thing that he does to start off a lot of his solos. It has a lot of character.
Adrian Smith is a beast of a player, big vibratos slow and hars and bends, very melodic and bluesy like a SRV on Iron Maiden. Like Yannick and Dave a lot. But Adrian is on another league
I could listen to this all day long
Does not matter. They completed each other to make greatest music. Up The Maiden..!
so utterly stunning..all three are precious..
I like Murray since i was 4. His tecnique his amazing.
Wow, c'était violent ! T'as vraiment su cerner chaque guitariste ! Les battles sont de mieux en mieux xD continue comme ça !!
1: Adrian Smith and Dave Murray

1: Adrian
2: Dave and Janick
Three amazing guitarists
Ce sont sûrement mes trois gratteux préférés ! Et je trouve que tu as magnifiquement bien repris leurs styles de jeu :) Les solos ronds et gras de Dave Murray, le tranchant et la précision d'Adrian Smith sans compter l'énergie et la virtuosité de Janick Gers! Cette battle est très réussie ! Bravo et UP THE IRONS ! \m/
Always preferred Dave's fluid style.
It's perfect! you used the speed and technic of Dave Murray, The Technic and the "blues'' tone of Adrian Smith, and the speed of janick gers! AWESOME!
Adrian:
Best melodic taste and can switch from lead and rhythm
Janick:
Best shredder and has incredible speed
Dave:
Best Rhythm guitarist and an overall solid Lead
Awesome!! Do other videos with this battle!
Everyone is pretty good, excellent, and has his own style. And this guitarist is really good! Are you him?
Dave Murray...his solos :D He is the best in my opinion...but Janick Gers is also brutal player...
Dave is the king of Lagato! Janick is just crazy live! But adrian he just gets it bang on everytime , Quote from bruce " He just picks notes out of the air " amazing!
***** Amen blood brother!
The answer is yes… all of the above. All three have their own soul and technique behind their craft!
Dave for me!
yes quite a compliment man!!!! keep listening to maiden they are and always will be amazing and i have yet to see them.
Adrian smith
Brilliant, you absolutely nailed their styles!
Adrian smith is my favorit!
Excellentissime! tout ça en incluant certains passages de solo légendaires de ces 3 légendes....
ooohh ctm !!!! gracias steve por tener a estos grandes guitarrista en maiden..... a mi me gusta JANICK GERS..... y tu viejo eres muy bueno excelente trabajo. sl2 desde chile... estoy esperando para verlos en vivo en 2016.....
I can only imagine what a wonderful feeling it must be to have the incredible talent that you have. Cherish It.
For me, Maiden's ultimate guitarist is Adrian... :) (*waiting for Dave's fans to strike*)
Agreed!
He definitely has the best vibrato, however i love all three of them. ☺
Marko Becić You're right, Dave is juste the ultimate of métal !!!!
David valda Kirk Hammet!!
Here we are, but we ain't striking hahaah
I excpected something totally different but I love what I got. Thanks a lot. THIS is way better than comparing the Maiden records, because we can see what you play and the guitars are right upfront in the mix.
Brilliant playing! My fave is Adrian, just my personal preference. But, you are an exceptional player man!
1:11 The Trooper
1:57 Killers
2:25 The Wickerman
Make a video with rusty strings, full of grime and dirt, please. I have always been wondering how a highly skilled player would sound with that. With all the sweeps and all.
alors la tu me fais plaisir nono, juste avant de passer le bac ca me met une énergie folle ce battle à la Maiden!!!
Up the Irons !
Great video dude... Simply perfect... Hey, do you know what would be nice? A Megadeth's guitarrists battle ;)
You make them all sound awesome
Great playing! Thanks for using my backing track and adding a link to my vid. I was hoping that someone who loves Maiden would do a smokin jam over it. You went far beyond! Let me know if you ever need a metal drummer or bass player. We should do something.
Jon
***** thanks bro your backing track rocks ! ;) doing what, have any idea?
Great job ⭐️
Janick and murray are da gods OF ROCK ! NUF SAID
FODA! Reproduziu perfeitamente as técnicas dos três, bem como o vídeo em que o Adrian explica a diferença entre os três! SHOW!
Every good musician is going to say Adrian Smith.
Agree
Can't say that. Each one has it's own styles, and each person will prefer one. I prefer Dave...
hollandia34 yes in maiden , but this guy plays like gers and murray would wanted to sound like, the guy is really good!
Erik Feldner i agree there all good players but they have different styles but I prefer janick
+hmcccpp i do accept this guy is a very good player and he nailed the styles of these three metal gods, but i cannot the fact that you said murray would want to sound like he does, pal dave murray sound is so unique and beautiful, is a total pleasure to hear his solo leads sound and maybe the technique was nailed here but not the sound by all means. greets!!
One word---SICK! Love your videos Neo,keep rock!
ADRIAN ALL THE WAY!
The three were so good I did not know which to choice
Wow great guitar playing but why the black nails
Very very good man!!!!! Congratulations...
Best player iron maiden is dave
Adrian.
Adrian pisses all over Dave I'm afraid. More soul and flair. Guys a in a class of is own. He made maiden what it is from when he got reintroduced. Believe it or not h3 was kicked out at the start through jealousy. Just imagine maiden without him. Cant see us enjoying it the same. He's a fucking legend in metal!
They are all great!! Nice video and playing bro.
Adrian Smith tutta la vita!!!!!!!
Dave murray è meglio
Ha piu stile ed è più veloce
Awesome!! Do it again!!
Best solo of dave is powerslave 2 solo 1985 rock in Rio
Super mon Nono ! Génial, on reconnait tes talents d'artistes, perso j'ai vraiment entendu les 3, tu t'es vraiment bien imprégné de leurs styles de jeux. Excellent travail ! :)
this guy is playing Janick's solos better than Janick...
He's really not?
He's better than Janick
Dennis Maljak kind of sad but he's really better than janick
i a gree...lol
C'mon man...
Un truc me choque : tu as EXACTEMENT réussi a chope la signature solistique de chacun, je veux dire, on ferme les yeux, et ce sont les TROIS qu'on a en face de nous, c'est génial continue ! :D
Adrian
you're exactly right and you're the only one to notice that. You rock !
1. Dave
2.
3.
4.
5. Adrian and Janick
Excelente improvisación, excelente cierre del vídeo al mejor y único estilo de Janick.
muy bien logrados todos los sonidos eres un amo tio
Adrian best at making riffs; Dave best at making solos; Janick best at song writing, although Steve is better than him at that though.
What are you talking about....STEVE HARRIS is IRON MAIDEN!!!
all 3 are amazing. very difficult to choose a favorite..
