Post subject:  Metallica vs Iron Maiden

Are you more Up the Irons ore more Metal Up Your Ass?


This is the Clash of the Titans,so choose your side!!!

The razor sharp precision and heaviness of Hetfield's riffing against the charm and beauty of Murray/Smith twin guitarwork;Steve Harris (the uncompromising tradition keeper )versus Cliff Burton(the wild metal-hippie);Air Raid Siren versus Almighty James;Number of the Beast versus Kill'em All;the american style against the british style!...and finally also Dance of Death Against St Anger.

As for me i won't vote yet...i hate as much DOD as i hate ST Anger.

Maiden, without a second of doubt. Their best albums are better than the best Metallica albums and their worst album is a masterpiece compared to ST Anger...

Maiden. I really like the first 4 Metallica albums, but it's Iron Fucking Maiden.

There's absoloutely no question about this. Metallica were a thrash metal band that were very good for their first two albums, decent for their next two, and then descended into shittery, and on St. Anger, super shittery. Iron Maiden, on the other hand, is Iron Fucking Maiden. Their first seven albums are absoloutely classic, their next three decent, then they had one bad album and then two great ones. They're basically kings of metal (sorry, Manowar) and should never be compared to the likes of Metallica.

Metallica are great fun, but Maiden is timeless. Powerslave will still be heavy twenty years from now.

I know it's just a matter of taste ,but i'll never consider the last 2 Maiden albums great.To me Bruce's return was a big mistake(artistically speaking,of course). BNW is not more than ok imo ,and DAD is very dissapointing(i prefer Virtual XI anytime).DAD has one very good song(Paschendale) and the rest....what can i say? St Anger is shit,but metallica took risks ;Maiden didn't take any risk with DOD...and released an album which is below average...imo.

Metallica just...isn't Iron Maiden. Most good reasons have already been pointed out.

in terms of credibility at present and of consistency, it'd have to be Maiden. The old Metallica (pre- Metallica album) has more killer songs than Iron Maiden, but the new Metallica's guitar sound is almost as flat, repetitive, boring and irritating as that fucking drum sound.

....well...

if you're talking historical value, Metallica kinda started Thrash while Iron Maiden only were part of a scene (ok, they were kind of the leaders) known as The New Wave of British Heavy Metal... :roll: so I should go with Metallica...

but then, Metallica did only 4 good to excellent albums while I count 7 albums of that kind for Iron Maiden...

here's my trick to tell then :
each good album gets ten points, and I judge the historical value departing bands on a 100 scale
Metallica get 40 & Maiden 70 as for musical value
Metallica gets 65 & Maiden 35 as for Historical value

Metallica 105
Iron Maiden 105


IT'S A TIE !!! :D

I hope you get it all :wink:
