Iron Maiden guitarist lost his grip during a gig and–well, you’ll see.

Iron Maiden guitarist Janick Gers was in full gig mode in San Antonio, Texas, when things got a little sweaty. In the midst of a windmill twirl, he lost the grip on his guitar which then launched into the crowd.

No one was hurt but a security guard did get a bump on the head. That’s rock’n’roll, innit?

  • That had to happen sooner or later. At the Edmonton show, Jannick spent more time playing WITH his guitar than he did actually playing it.
