Janick Robert Gers (born January 27 , 1957 in Hartlepool , England ) is one of three Guitarists in the Heavy Metal band Iron Maiden . Gers was the lead guitarist of the band White Spirit before joining Gillan , a group formed by former Deep Purple vocalist Ian Gillan . After Gillan disbanded, he played in the group Gogmagog and with various artists including Fish of Marillion . In 1990 , he played guitar on the first solo album of Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson , ''" Tattooed Millionaire "''. During the recording of the album he was asked to join Iron Maiden in place of departing Adrian Smith . He has remained with the band ever since. His solos are fast and furious, but Gers is a skilled composer. His main influence is Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple , from whom he has emulated certain on-stage poses and soloing attacks. |
