Maiden vs. Priest

[Witchburner]

Hey All,

New guy here. I like all types of metal especially power/traditional
and thrash. Favorites bands are Judas Priest, Iron Maiden,Black Sabbath,Megadeth,Slayer,old Metallica,Venom,Possessed,Celtic Frost,Death,Carcass,Trouble just to name a few.

thought I'd get a feel for what you like so I decided on this one.

For me both bands kick ass but:

Judas Priest (by a cunt hair)

 

[AsModEe]

cunt hair? with Rob Halford, a balls hair would be more in context.

Maiden for me

Registering on a metal board and starting off by posting this topic is akin to holding a big sign above your head saying Beware: Escaped Chimpanzee, you know. Besides, anyone who isn't gay knows the answer is Priest.

 

[Jesse Pohjalainen]

i think that the ``which one is better´´ stuff is pointless.


besides Maiden rules you all

Yeah!! you're probably right but I just wanted to make my first thread as
general as possible then gradually ease into it

I think you mean anyone who IS gay knows the answer is Priest, by the looks of Halford anyway... I don't want to insult Priests music though, because they're clearly a pretty talented band, however, they are homosexuals. I'm not really a fan of either, but i'd rather listen to Maiden.

Give Me Judas Priest anyday. Who cares if Rob Halford is gay.

 

[Mort Divine]

Well, it depends.

Ripper Priest > Blaze Maiden
Rob Priest > Paul Maiden
Bruce Maiden = Rob Maiden

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Actually, it's exactly like this:

70's Priest > Maiden

80's Priest < Maiden

Painkiller < DiAnno Maiden but not Bruce.

And this thread needs an English word that's a little more effective than "redundant."

 

[Mort Divine]

Ripper > Halford > Bruce > Blaze > Paul

In terms of vocal diversity and talent.

 

[Jean-Pierre]

Halford in his prime could tear Ripper apart. But if your list is based on CURRENT standings....sure.

 

[Mort Divine]

I don't know, I can't say that Halford ever had as strong a vocal performance as Owens does on HoaK.

 

[Nag]

Then you're not listening to enough priest. I saw them in July.. still strong.. even after a 2.5 hour set.

 

[Mort Divine]

Eh, it is a fact that Owens is better than Halford now. Maybe disputable about Halford in the past.

 

[Ceremony]

Neither

Black Sabbath,Megadeth,Slayer,old Metallica

does that mean you like new slayer, megadeth and sabbath?

anyway, I prefer Priest, but I think I'd rather see Maiden live. Both kick arse though.

I'd rather see Maiden live too, because I've never seen em.

actually I thought "God hates us all" and "Diabolus" sucked balls but
Megadeth's last one "The Systrem has failed" was ok. Compare them
to anything Metallica has put out since the black album their Godly.
As far as Sabbath goes they haven't released any new studio stuff
in about 10 years but I like it all. Of course Ozzy era owns me.

Damn straight. Rob in his prime.....especially in 1984.....left everyone else in his dust. Including Dio. Look at every other vocalist that was on that Hearing Aid recording. Halford was 'The Man' amongst a lot of talent.....and every one there knew it. Including Ronnie.
