Janick’s first appearance with Maiden?

[BludBrutha]

Janick's first ever live performance with Iron Maiden. June 27, 1990 at the Astoria Theatre in London during the Tattooed Millionaire Tour, Iron Maiden joined Janick and Bruce for a version of the Trooper.

Was this after Adrian had left? There is a bit of footage at 18:30 and it’s the NP lineup.

I've seen bits of this footage before, but I totally missed the part where the rest of Maiden joined Bruce's band. I don't know the exact dates of Adrian leaving and Janick joining, but they recorded NPFTD between June and September, so I would imagine Janick was already part of the band by then.

Second ASAP lp, hmm. The Untouchables material?

Heavier direction, I mean No Prayer is different from the previous two (I also think the band should have continued with the same approach, but indeed a bit heavier) and hard rock is Adrian's thing, but after just a few years, he formed a band that played heavier music. Janick also didn't play ''heavier'' songs before Maiden. Seventh Son has some heavier riffs and I wouldn't call songs like Holy Smoke, Hooks, Daughter and Fates heavy.
