OK here goes. Anthrax vs. Iron Maiden. Being this an Anthrax thread, and it would seem alot of us like Maiden....lets find out. The two bands might be totally different, but it would be cool to see the reactions. Discuss at your leisure.
Anthrax vs.

Damn, hit the post button too soon....anyhow....
For me, Anthrax. Heavier, faster, more aggression. The music is more "listenable" and repeatable (IE I can listen to the same song over and over for days and never get tired of it).

iron maiden all the way!!!
anthrax is a great band but maiden's guitar playing is just so incredibly unique and they put out alot more energy in their songs in my opinion

That is how I felt about other "comparisons" between two very much unrelated acts. This was throw in as a "just to see what happens" thread. Personally, I would pick Abba over Candle Mass. I never liked CM at all.

Anthrax by miles....
Iron Maiden are a bunch 80's turds.. There music is terribly cliche and doesn't even come close to standing the test of time.... Last summer I saw them at Ozzfest and it was laughable.. They were running around posing like they were in some terrible metal video from 1986...

Don't get me wrong, I do love alot of 80's stuff.. But Maiden to me just reeks of total cheese... They were almost laughable in concert.. With all the costumes and stages poses and the repitious guitar solos. But hey, I love Motley Crue so go figure.....

I can't really draw many similarities here, other then they are both metal bands. I'd have to pick Anthrax, I suppose, only because they have proven to be capable of diversity in their music. They have used thrash, hard rock, even a little black metal feels here and there, where as Maiden has always stuck to the classic power metal formula. I am not bashing Maiden at all, I love them, but all in all, I listen to Anthrax far more.
