So do I. If there is one thing that should be evident during the Reunion Era, it is the amazing personal chemistry within the band. Jannick is a huge part of that.
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Janick is also underrated as a songwriter. Some of the best songs from the reunion era (Book of Souls, Dance of Death, etc) involve him.

He's my favorite songwriter of the reunion era, as a matter of fact. And even though his two songs on The Book of souls are not the ones I love the most on the album, his songs are usually the highlights. The Legacy, Dance of death, Dream of mirrors, The Talisman, Ghost of the navigator - and yes, some underrated jams like The Pilgrim, Gates of tomorrow and The Alchemist.

The Alchemist is a great song. Shame they didn't play it live.

Allow me to join in the appreciation for the many great songs Janick wrote since the reunion!  :metal
I use my sig to pimp some bands from Italy! Check out Elvenking (Power / Folk metal), Folkstone (Rock / Medieval metal), Arcana Opera (Gothic/Noir/Heavy metal) and the beautiful voice of Elisa!

His songwriting adds that variety to the Maiden sound too.  Very mature in his songwriting.

I wonder if he stands in the front of his work space and twirls the guitar around his neck while he writes?  :)

The fc pw is specific to the member. But if you do a google search for the pass code for live nation or ticketmaster, that one is pretty easy to find. If somebody cant find it, hit me up via pm. Not sure if it works, as that sale starts thursday.

What I find interesting, for the NJ show (not the NY one) when I purchased the floor seats, it specifically says these tickets are non transferable and you will not get a ticket, need to bring ID and credit card to be swiped and then they will let you in.  Yet, there are tickets on stubhub? How is that possible?

Thank you so much for the SUPERSTAR code

I got 15th row and I am at "center court" so I am very happy. I definitely didn't want to do GA.

This shall be my very first time ever seeing them  :metal

He really is. When you step back and really look at all of his accomplishments, it's as impressive as anyone in music.

Next he'll be Knighted. Sir Bruce Dickinson.
Lowdz, can you make that happen?
