MAIDEN VS PRIEST
Priest were there before Maiden so they openned a lot of doors for that to get going. Priest were also pre-NWOBHM and were huge by the time Maiden put out their first album. Also Priest was the band that brough Maiden to America on the Killers tour.
Having sid all that I still listen to a hell of a lot more Maiden than I do Priest.
I'd say Maiden.
METALLICA VS MEGADETH
I was a huge Megadeth fan when the Mustaine/Ellefson/Friedman/Menza line up was around. That was the line up that I saw first. After that they kinna fell off the wayside for me.
Metallica has a special place in my music world simply because of Cliff. I have enjoyed every single Metallica cd up to Garage Inc. St. Anger gets really annoing. The only thing that brings me back to Metallica is Trujillo, I'm curious to see what he brings to the table.
KREATOR VS DESTRUCTION VS SODOM
Destruction is the one I'm more familiar with so I'll go with them
VENOM VS MERCYFUL FATE
Venom has A LOT of albums I can do without, but I'll go with them.
RAGE VS GRAVE DIGGER VS RUNNING WILD
Pass
HELLOWEEN VS GAMMA RAY
This one is not fair since it's the same band.
BLIND GUARDIAN VS RHAPSODY
I might be the lone ranger that is gonna go with Rhapsody on this one. Yes they are cheese Dungeons and Dragons band but they are the best at it dammit!
CHICAGO POWERFEST VS PROG POWER USA
Prog Power USA is one of the most succesfull metal fests in the country and for that it deserves a lot of respect.
With this year's line up I think Powerfest is gonna have a lot of doors open on the upcomming years. Hopefully one day it'll be like PP, which would be a good thing since it's not a plane ride away from me.
