Priest or Maiden?

[Lord Kur]

yes we would

 

[Demonic viscera]

o.k. , so that was a BOLD statement. But , if you listen to sinner you can definitely hear the slayer style picking up from that kind of shit. Maiden was less down with the ad lib solo.

Dave Murray has always been an ad libber.

 

[Demonic viscera]

really . damn . i was not aware. I know k.k. does a lot of ad lib live. but most guitar players do a bit of ad lib. live.

 

[metal evilution]

MAIDEN.
Having seen both live this year MAIDEN had me leave with a massive smile on my face.
PRIEST had me yawning.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

most of us have heard both discographies

I VERY SERIOUSLY DOUBT THAT.


Hold on... VVVVV didn't vote...

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

You're right, I didn't...and don't plan to.

 

[SentinelSlain]

yes we would

I disagree, maybe not for the solos but for the change in direction from the doomy sound to quick really metallic stuff Priest took metal.

 

[llamaking]

maiden ftw.

 

[Thoth-Amon]

I picked Maiden. It's not really a judgment of quality since I don't really care which one turns out to be better from an "objective" point of view. It's just that for some reason I have a personal preference for them and I listen to them way more. Probably because they were one of the first metal bands I got into.

Agreed... though I actually listen to Priest more.

 

[sk8ordie97]

maiden

surely nobody's actually questioning the fact that priest were a major influence on slayer

They've said so in many interviews that Priest were probably their biggest influence.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

I thought this was pretty weird when I found this out because growing up I never met a whole bunch of people who were into, or in some cases have even heard of, Maiden; but they actually have sold over 100 million albums worldwide which is more than even Metallica's 90 million.

...I doubt I know a person under 50 who hasn't heard of Maiden. I think they're a whole lot bigger in Europe though.

 

[SentinelSlain]

Tbh I would prefer if barely anybody knew about metal then there wouldn't be stuff like Fightstar's cover of Breaking the law and loads of wankers saying things like um this is like way more up to date while they fondle their fringes.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

Somewhat of a bump in the road here; but how is Turbo by Priest??

Decent in terms of 80s cock rock

I just read about it a bit... I never knew Priest went glam, but I'm only 24.

 

[SentinelSlain]

I'm 17 and uhhhh it's ok. It's not only the glammness of the record though, there's also that there aren't many good songs on it anyway...
