Who would you say is the best guitarist Maiden have ever had?

Here are my thoughts:
DAVE MURRAY - Great fast guitarist but not too good at buildups or slower solos(Powerslave is an exception)

DENNIS STRATTON - Not much to be said about him.

ADRIAN SMITH - The perfect partner for Dave, he can build up Dave's solos well and is great at playing slower guitar solos. He is also a great rhythm guitarist and was the perfect addition to Maiden.

JANICK GERS - I think he's ok but undeeded in Maiden and he doesn't compare to Adrian or Dave.
 
JANICK GERS

Awesome songwriter and great shredder. Likes to have a good time. Took a lot of flak but stuck to Maiden and now helps with the three-guitar assault. My favorite.

:OMG:

I know, but that's my opinion.

Without his superior intellect and vast compositional skills, Iron Maiden would be a band of washed-up has beens playing in bars with Axl Rose on vocals and Angela Lansbury on drums. Instead they are now progressive. :cool:
