multiple solos varying in different tunes or styles. The rhythm guitars that play slightly differently or tuned differently to give a mass stereo effect. Judas Priest did it too.

the band is old as dirt. One of two guitar players left the band and a replacement was brought in, Later, the original band member rejoined, and the replacement stayed on.
The Trooper is the best heavy metal song of ALL TIME  Failed To Load Title |

Simply put, they didn't want to fire Janick Gers when Adrian Smith came back. They don't really need 3 guitar players. That being said, having 3 players does give them a little more freedom since they can put showmanship ahead of playing since redundancy allows some playing gaps. Janick is also very visual which some people like. I think he overdoes it personally. Bottom line, he became their friend so they don't want to sack him. They don't need the money so saving one guitar player expense is a non issue.

Dumb topic, but now I'm going to listen to Maiden the rest of the day, so I thank the OP for that.

Lead guitar, rythym guitar, bass.
Common set up and part of their great sound. See also Scorpions. |

heavy thick guitar sound is created on albums by using multiple layered tracks with slighlty different tonal characteristics.
Sometimes a lot. I once read Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins had over 20 guitar tracks. Using multiple rhythm guitar players helps reproduce that sound live. Especially since Maiden songs are heavy on solos. |

Still a kickass band to experience live. |

Adrian Smith quit for awhile, so they brought Janick Gers into the band. Then when Smith decided to come back, they decided to keep Gers because they like the guy and didn't want to kick him out on his ass.

They're nice guys who didn't want to fire Janick Gers when the guy he replaced re-joined the band.

In addition to just wanting to keep Gers on, they also often have 3 guitar tracks at the same time so...
