Priest or Maiden?

[Ross]

Belligerent, Eeric, mattsson, Personified Hatred, tagradh and tanya6 are all horrible people.

its those kind of retarded statements that got you into an argument on the 'contreversial opinions on metal' thread

It's not a retarded statement, and I also don't care if I get into arguments when I'm right.

No, no. She's right.

I don't get this whole 'Every Maiden album sounds different than previous.' thing. They have slight elements changed, but the Maiden sound is very similar across nearly all their albums.

I agree, although I never heard a whole shit ton of their 90's output. There are definitely progessions in their first 7 albums, however they never really reinvented themselves in that period.

I heard some stuff from Bayley period, and it was pretty different, but still the logical extension of what they did before.

woohoo! glad to see maiden is winning, or does that just mean I'm running with the crowd.... well fuck it i like em

 

[Hatebreeder]

After giving it careful thought, because I think I voted for "both", I'm going with Iron Maiden because I enjoy a greater percentage of their material.

I've always liked Judas Priest more, even though some of their albums were quite bad. I find Iron Maiden kind of boring, somehow I feel that with new albums they bring new songs, but nothing really changes in their music, they're still the same old Iron Maiden... But I stopped listening to both bands a couple of years ago

weirdo

 

[The Creator of Failure]

I'll take that as a compliment, thank you

 

[AchrisK]

Excellent response!

Maiden.

Maiden is far more consistant than Judas.

Judas has some really great albums, but has horrible albums too (mainly for failed experimentation). Maiden does always the same (c'mon, maybe just the S/T and Killers are kinda different, but the whole resting bunch of releases till today are almost the same), but it works and therefore there's less chance to hear shit material on IM discography than Judas.

The another factor for me is Dickinson v/s Halford. I prefer 1000 times better Dickinson than Halford. I've seen them live both and Bruce rapes Rob anytime IMO.

 

[SentinelSlain]

too many people voting maiden....

Priest just have THE sound.

 

[no country for old wainds]

i know man, i don't think it's close

also rob > bruce as a vocalist, even though bruce's best solo stuff rapes rob's

 

[AchrisK]

@ Allfader calling Priest "Judas". Classic dumbness.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

never been a Priest fan

 

[MrGlam999Metal]

this one's easy

BOTH KICK EQUAL AMOUNTS OF ASS!!!

 

[bandit29]

I like both but Iron Maiden wins out. More memorable songs, stronger guitar work, and more albums that are good all the way through. And Bruce rules. Best metal singer ever.

Although I love Rob too. A very very close second to me. However I like his work more in Fight and Halford than in Priest.

*sigh*

Compared to 70's Priest, Maiden just seems so cartoony by comparison. Priest is dark, mysterious, epic, emotional, while to me Maiden comes off as a great band that happens to be a bit one-dimensional by comparison.
