Think About It For a Minute or a Day or a Year , what did they brought both to our culture , the Progressive Rock Culture !!? in my Opinion , they're both good , but they brought nothing , nothing at all , except some Imitations from previous scenes , that makes no difference in our Wide Archive / Budgie , Dust , Blue Oysters , Manfred Mann , Purples , Uriah Heep & Black Sabbath did what they're Doing now in better Shape /

Another tough call. But I go with Maiden because they are more progressive I feel and since we're on PA and not on a metal forum I go with the British giants this time ..
Besides that I have a slight preference for IM. But then again when I think of Metallica's San Diego DVD ... it's really hard to say.

Maiden for me!
Metallica were a great band untill The Black Album..There are some songs (few) that i can still listen after that period (one of the best they´ve ever done is Low Man´s Lyrics), but i rarely do so.

Not a fan of Metallica or Maiden but Metallica isn't nearly as boring as Iron Maiden.

Metallica. Although Maiden have been consistently great throughout their career I feel that Metallica's best is better than Maiden's best, slightly.
But the best thing about these two giants is that each will be seen by me in the coming six months.
UP THE IRONS!!

Actually, you're right. I should have pointed out that Kirk isn't an egotistic knob, just a knob.  And although I watched and enjoyed Some Kind Of Monster, that documentary came out many years after I had already formed my opinion of those guys. And perhaps as they've aged, they've mellowed, who knows? Either way, it's entirely unimportant what they are like as people. All that really matters is their music, and it is great. It is a nice bonus, though, when they're cool, down-to-earth guys. I'd love to sit and have some pints with the Maiden guys. I'd pass on even meeting the Metallica guys, unless I happened to bump into them on the street - which if I ever do, maybe I'd be pleasantly surprised.

Yeah, I went through my teenage years being a huge fan of both, and still am. I guess I could go for Maiden since they have had a serious impact on my life, not just musically. Their albums are quite equal.
But how is Kirk an egoistic knob?

Iron Maiden by a country mile:) Their music is so melodic compared to Metallica's. Bruce Davidson far outshines Hetfield's very poor vocals. Hetfield's vocals destroy what could be great just as the growling in Opeth turns me off a brilliantly talented group of instumentalists. |
Did you mean Bruce Dickinson?
