I think it's getting a bit out of hand. Nowadays he playsNicko (thankfully he does not speed up the songs like crazy anymore).
Wasted Years
It's worse.

I disagree on Nicko. Nicko makes more mistakes, live. And his overall drumming is less impressive than in the old days. One listening session to Somewhere in Time or Live After Death or A Real Live One is all that's needed. And it's normal. He was in his prime back then, I even believe he said that himself. Of course, it's still amazing to hear a 60-plus guy give all he has, but he has become less stable.
Well, I certainly wouldn't agree with the "guitard god" bit, considering how many fantastic guitarists are around nowadays (again, before I receive any remark from the Adrian Smith League, no provocation intended), but you are right with Bruce and Nicko.
Adrian has improved a lot
Harrisdevot has a personal dislike for Adrian. He'll never admit Adrian's done anything good, even if he discovers life on Mars or cure for AIDS. He'll just say some of Steve's genius has rubbed off on him.
Has anyone ever actually said they prefer Janick over Smith and Murray?
I don't think that, from a technical point of view, Janick's addition has improved the band (no provocation intended, just a personal remark ).
