Maiden in the 100 Worst Riffs and Solos
In this December issue, Guitar World has the guts to present a definitive guide to guitar parts that blow: 'The 100 Worst Riffs, Licks & Solos of all time' !
Topping the list is Poison's C.C. DeVille's 1991 effort called 'Guitar Solo'.
Could Iron Maiden really appear in there ? Yes. At #29, Janick is implicitly mentionned for 'Fear is the Key', off the band's 1992 album.
After years of licking bottoms, here's a fresh list not to take too seriously !
Thanks to Azrael63 and SomewhereInTime72 of the IM.com boards for the hints

Many bands are being hit hard on this list. Fun one.
Dave isn't mentionned, for, apparently, Janick played all the solos on the song. Can't remember if this is correct, though...
Cheers
i like that song! 
All these best/worst lists, one isn't more strange than an other!
