Yup. According to wikipedia, he was born in England, and his father was in the Polish Navy.

You forget that Maiden has had Swede guitarist Janick Gers since what, 1990 when Adrian left?

| YOUR RIGHT PHANTOM A6,IT IS'NT A BOXING MATCH AND THESE 2 BANDS DO GET OVER COMPARED.I KINDA COMPARED THE BASS BUT IT JUST STRUCK ME ODD HOW I HEARD SOMEONE SAY THE BASS IN MAIDEN WAS'NT ON THE SAME LEVEL YET HARRIS IS LIKE THE DAMN LEADER OF MAIDEN!MAYBE IAN IS'NT GETTING QUITE HIS DUE THEN?!I'M JUST JOKING.I DON'T THINK TECHNICALLY FAST OR HARD TO PLAY MUSIC MAKES IT BETTER ANYWAY,OFTEN OPPOSITE.I MEAN I LOVE ALOT OF YNGWIE MALMSTEEN STUFF BUT HE PRY THINKS HE'S BETTER THAN PRIEST AND MAIDEN CAUSE HE PLAYS MORE NOTES BUT THATS NUTS.I DON'T THINK HE'LL EVER BE NEAR AS GOOD.WHERE'S HIS HALFORD OR DICKINSON FOR STARTERS.I CAN LISTEN TO THE CULT WITH SIMPLE AS HELL BASS AND DRUMS BUT I STILL LOVE THE BAND,SAME WITH THE RAMONES OR ANY NUMBER OF GROUPS.NO WAY IS DREAM THEATER AS GOOD(AT LEAST TO ME) AS THESE 2 BEING COMPARED,TECHNIQUE DOES'NT BUY EVERYTHING BY ANY STRETCH...I'VE HAD IT WITH THIS THREAD...DAMN I HOPE PRIEST PLAYS FLORIDA LIKE ON THE ANGEL OF RETRIBUTION TOUR.MAN THEY SMOKED QUEENSRYCHE WHO DID'NT HAVE A CHANCE! GREATLY INFERIOR BODY OF SONGS AND DID'NT HAVE DIDDLY STAGE SHOW TO MATCH.I THINK THEY WERE WILLING TO BE UPSTAGED JUST TO TOUR WITH THEIR IDOLS.WHO WOULD'NT,MAINLY.. |

HEY VAILLANT,I DID'NT MEAN TO BELITTLE IAN,SURE HE'S GOT SOME DECENT PARTS AND MAYBE A FEW CO-CREDITS BUT I HAVE HEARD I BELIEVE TIPTON MENTION HOW THEY HAD TO MAKE IT WORK WITH HIS MORE MINIMAL TECHNIQUE AND PLAYING STYLE.I CAN'T SAY IAN IS TECHNICALLY AS ACCOMPLISHED AS STEVE OR AS PROLIFIC A WRITER BUT THAT DOES'NT MEAN HE CAN'T ON EITHER FRONT.IN FACT,SOMETIMES GUYS ARE HELD BACK AND JUST TOW THE LINE FOR FEAR OF ROCKING THE BOAT AND MAYBE GETTING CANNED THOUGH I DON'T KNOW THE WORKING INTER-PERSONNAL RELATIONSHIPS IN THE BAND WHEN IT COMES TO SONGWRITING AND PLAYING.MAYBE GLENN AND K.K. MAKE HIM PLAY MORE SIMPLISTIC TO KEEP IT A BIT MORE COMMERCIALLY ACCESSIBLE,I DON'T KNOW.I KNOW HARRIS TENDS TO HAVE THE FINAL SAY IN MAIDEN SONGS AND IF SOMEONE LIKE BRUCE BRINGS SONGS HE SEE'S AS NOT MAIDEN APPROPRIATE HE WILL REJECT THEM AS HAPPENED TO DICKINSON ON SOMEWHERE IN TIME.I THINK BOTH BANDS ARE METAL GODS AND ENJOY 'EM QUITE EQUALLY THOUGH THEY HAVE DIFFERENT STYLES SOMEWHAT.

 Nothing against Maiden, but they are not in the Priest-League. On each spot, singer, guitar, base and drums, on each of those Priest is just a bit better all n'for all! |

C'mon, let the church in the village, 'Cause there she's needed!! Everyone of us have misspelled a word in his/her life, you too ("does'nt" instead of "doesn't"), think about it!!
Yes, Steve is a briliant bass player and songwriter.
Ian Hill doesn't write anything?? You're sure?? OK, there's a famous songwriter team called Tipton/Halford/Downing, but
the complete arrangement is coming from Judas Priest!! Or do you think that Glenn has written the drum intro of Painkiller??
Or that K. K. has written the bass intros?? The rage as an example!!
This is a Judas Priest page and the most members here are Priest fans. No wonder that Ian is the greatest bass player for them (and he's one of the best)!! I'm a fan of Maiden too - my number 2!!
The name of this topic sucks!! "Judas Priest vs Iron Maiden".
They don't stand in a ring and fight, that's nonsens.
Both bands a great and are important for metal!!
Judas Priest rules!! Up the irons!!

There are not many bands that will do that for me. Some albums I like only a couple of songs. Other albums I would like the whole album, but there might be a couple of songs that don't do it for me. And for me that is Iron Maiden. I like there stuff but not all of it.
Judas Priest is different. I can listen to any album in its entirety and like every song. When Nostradamus came out I almost wished that they would have played that whole album live when they did that tour.
Thing is, it does not matter what they play. I would stay in front of the stage all night long listening to their music if they would perform. So my vote is Judas Priest all the way.
