I've been a Maiden fan for a couple of years with all of the albums except the Blaze Bayley years. Still have yet to see them live though, I really want to so bad.

ive been a fan of iron maiden almost as long as ive been a priest fan. theyve done some huge hits, and with my being partial to british metal bands, it's a no-brainer

Adian Smith is one of the badest guitar players there is. If he were to join K.K. and Glen, Priest would be HELLATIOUS !! [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by pip from Monday, June 01, 2009 7:24:46 PM)

I have been a Priest and Maiden fan for alot of years. Both bands have albums that are totally excellent all the way through, and albums that only have a few really great songs. I have talked to people that have seen Iron Maiden with Judas Priest in concert, and said Iron Maiden was better by far, believe it or not. If you have lost interest in Iron Maiden and havent heard any of thier new stuff, you need to check out " Brave New World" c.d., IT ROCKS! The new "Mater of Life or death" c.d. is almost as good. But the "Dance of Death" c.d is substandard for lack of using a better word out of respect for the band. I personally like both bands equally. LONG LIVE PRIEST AND MAIDEN !!

Iron Maiden's first 4 or 5 albums were really good then after that they all started sounding the same. The solo's sound like the one's they have played over and over. I like their old stuff but lost interest in them when they got the 3rd guitarist. IMO I don't think you can compare them to Priest. Edited at: Sunday, July 19, 2009 10:33:57 AM

Heya Magpie, welcome to the boards! I like the way you wrote this, and I agree totally - metal doesn't have to be about dumb stuff (as many non-metal fans seem to think). [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Magpie from Sunday, July 19, 2009 12:02:09 AM)

Iron Maiden was the first truly metal band I ever saw live (although Anvil opened for them so I guess technically the first metal band I ever saw live was Anvil). I liked Iron Maiden for the same reason I like Judas Priest--because they made it cool to be both intelligent and a metalhead. People tend to overlook the fact that the metal bands from the 'eighties that stuck around and kept their audiences were the ones who didn't make it a habit of insulting their fans' intelligence and glorifying stupidity in both their music and their behaviour.

I agree that Maiden and Priest are equal yet different. I love em both. They are definitely my top 2 favorite bands. Another crew you might want to check out is Dream Theatre...
[randib] Thursday, July 09, 2009 12:53:16 AM
Maiden in my favorite band of all time, listening to Sun and Steel right now. Saw Flight 666 April 21 in the theater and it kicked ass. I love Judas Priest too , but Iron Maiden has had a special place in my soul for the last 21 years
[Jeanine] Tuesday, June 09, 2009 9:45:23 PM
Unfortunately you will find some Maiden haters here or maybe they think Maiden is being called better than Priest which is impossible. To me neither band is better or worse, only different. They are just so different to be called better or worse. I say, have your cake and eat it too. Enjoy both bands.
